Kubota KB20 3-Point Hitch FAQ
What is the Kubota KB20 3-point hitch lift capacity?
The Kubota KB20 is listed with 1,650 lb (748 kg) for 3-point hitch lift capacity. That makes it a compact rear-lift tractor, so it is useful for compact implements like box blades, small tillers, rotary cutters, ballast boxes and rear blades.
Is rear lift capacity always measured the same way?
No. For the Kubota KB20, check whether the figure is measured at the hitch ends or 24 inches behind the link ends. The behind-the-hitch number is usually more realistic.
Can the Kubota KB20 use any rear implement?
No. Start with the Category 1 hitch category, then check implement weight against the listed 1,650 lb (748 kg) 3-point hitch lift rating.
What rear implements can the Kubota KB20 lift?
Use the listed 1,650 lb (748 kg) 3-point hitch lift rating as the first filter for implements such as box blade, small rotary cutter, tiller, ballast box, and rear blade. Also check hitch category Category 1 and operating weight 1,951 lb (885 kg) before choosing the implement.
Is lift capacity enough to size implements for the Kubota KB20?
No. The Kubota KB20 may list 1,650 lb (748 kg) of rear lift, but the 1,951 lb (885 kg) operating weight and 8.2 gpm (31 L/min) hydraulic flow also matter for real work.
Official information note
Mistakes do happen. Tractor hitch lift specs can change by year, market, tire setup, ballast, hitch option and measurement point. Please check the operator manual, build sheet and official kubotausa.com website for official information before buying or lifting heavy implements.
