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

Can the Kubota KL345 use any rear implement?
No. Start with the Category 1 hitch category, then check implement weight against the 1,500 lb (680 kg) rating at 24 inches behind the link ends.
What rear implements can the Kubota KL345 lift?
Use the 1,500 lb (680 kg) rating at 24 inches behind the link ends 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 3,406 lb (1,545 kg) before choosing the implement.
Do hydraulic flow and weight matter for the Kubota KL345?
Yes. The Kubota KL345 lists hydraulic pump flow of 8.2 gpm (31 L/min) and operating weight of 3,406 lb (1,545 kg). Lift capacity says what it can raise; flow and weight help describe hydraulic response and stability.
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.
