Kubota KL345 Hitch and Rear Lift Notes

Rear lift capacity note For implement matching, the Kubota KL345 should be judged from the 1,500 lb (680 kg) lift at 24 inches behind the link ends figure. That gives a better real-world read than horsepower alone
24-inch lift note A 24-inch rating matters because weight gets harder to lift as it moves farther behind the tractor
Hitch category note For the Kubota KL345, Category 1 is the important compatibility spec. Lift capacity tells you what it can raise; category tells you what fits
Hydraulic flow note The 8.2 gpm (31 L/min) hydraulic flow figure helps round out the Kubota KL345’s rear-implement picture, especially where hydraulic attachments or remotes are involved
Operating weight note The 3,406 lb (1,545 kg) operating weight gives context for the Kubota KL345’s hitch lift capacity. Rear ballast and tire setup can still change the real-world feel
Rear implement matching The Kubota KL345 hitch spec is useful because it helps judge whether attachments like box blade, small rotary cutter, tiller, ballast box, and rear blade are in the right size range
