Kubota M1-55 Hitch and Rear Lift Notes

Rear lift capacity note For implement matching, the Kubota M1-55 should be judged from the 2,800 lb (1,270 kg) 3-point hitch lift capacity figure. That gives a better real-world read than horsepower alone
Hitch category note For the Kubota M1-55, Category 1 is the important compatibility spec. Lift capacity tells you what it can raise; category tells you what fits
Hydraulic flow note The Kubota M1-55’s captured hydraulic pump flow is 16.2 gpm (61.3 L/min). Lift capacity is still the main hitch number, but pump flow helps describe hydraulic capability
Operating weight note The Kubota M1-55 operating weight is listed as 5,401 lb (2,450 kg). Tractor weight matters because a machine can sometimes lift more than it should comfortably carry on rough ground
Rear implement matching The Kubota M1-55 hitch spec is useful because it helps judge whether attachments like rotary cutter, medium tiller, grader blade, seeder, and heavy ballast box are in the right size range

Kubota M1-55 3-Point Hitch FAQ

What is the rear lift capacity of the Kubota M1-55?

Rear lift capacity for the Kubota M1-55 is shown as 2,800 lb (1,270 kg) for 3-point hitch lift capacity. For real attachment matching, match implements carefully, especially if the attachment is long or carries weight far behind the hitch.

Is rear lift capacity always measured the same way?

No. For the Kubota M1-55, 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.

Does hitch category matter on the Kubota M1-55?

Yes. The Kubota M1-55 is listed as Category 1, and that decides what rear implements physically connect cleanly.

How should I match rear implements to the Kubota M1-55?

Start with 2,800 lb (1,270 kg) for 3-point hitch lift capacity, then compare the actual implement weight and overhang. Typical checks include rotary cutter, medium tiller, grader blade, seeder, and heavy ballast box.

Is lift capacity enough to size implements for the Kubota M1-55?

No. The Kubota M1-55 may list 2,800 lb (1,270 kg) of rear lift, but the 5,401 lb (2,450 kg) operating weight and 16.2 gpm (61.3 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.
