How much can the Kubota M4500 rear 3-point hitch lift?
The main rear-lift number captured for the Kubota M4500 is 2,980 lb (1,352 kg). Use that as the first-pass number for rear implements, not as a front-loader rating.

The Kubota M4500’s useful lift reference is 2,980 lb (1,352 kg). It may suit rotary cutter, medium tiller, grader blade, seeder, and heavy ballast box, but match implements carefully, especially if the attachment is long or carries weight far behind the hitch.
Does tractor weight matter for the Kubota M4500 hitch lift?
