Kubota KL380 Hitch and Rear Lift Notes
24-inch lift note
The Kubota KL380’s 1,435 lb (651 kg) lift rating at 24 inches behind the link ends is the better real-world number for mounted implements than a bare hitch-end rating

Hydraulic flow note
For hydraulic context, the Kubota KL380 is listed at 8.2 gpm (31 L/min). Do not confuse pump flow with lift capacity; they answer different questions
Operating weight note
Weight matters with rear implements. The Kubota KL380’s captured operating weight is 3,800 lb (1,724 kg), which affects ballast, traction and stability

Kubota KL380 3-Point Hitch FAQ
How much can the Kubota KL380 rear 3-point hitch lift?
The main rear-lift number captured for the Kubota KL380 is 1,435 lb (651 kg). Use that as the first-pass number for rear implements, not as a front-loader rating.
Why does the 24-inch rear lift spec matter?
The 1,435 lb (651 kg) rating matters because mounted implements put weight behind the lift arms. That extra distance makes the tractor work harder than a close-in hitch-end test.
What hitch category is the Kubota KL380?
The listed hitch category for the Kubota KL380 is Category 1. Match implement pins and hitch width to that category before worrying about lift capacity.
Can the Kubota KL380 handle heavy rear attachments?
The Kubota KL380’s useful lift reference is 1,435 lb (651 kg). It may suit box blade, small rotary cutter, tiller, ballast box, and rear blade, but stay conservative with heavy attachments and allow margin for implement overhang.
Do hydraulic flow and weight matter for the Kubota KL380?
Yes. The Kubota KL380 lists hydraulic pump flow of 8.2 gpm (31 L/min) and operating weight of 3,800 lb (1,724 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.
