Kubota M6040 Hitch and Rear Lift Notes
Rear lift capacity note
The Kubota M6040 rear hitch spec points to 3,307 lb (1,500 kg) for lift at 24 inches behind the link ends. Use that number before assuming a heavy rear implement will lift safely
24-inch lift note
Use the 24-inch number first. It is usually closer to how a real implement loads the 3-point hitch
Hitch category note
If you are matching implements to the Kubota M6040, start with Category 1 / Category 2, then check lift capacity and tractor stability
Hydraulic flow note
The 11 gpm (41.6 L/min) hydraulic flow figure helps round out the Kubota M6040’s rear-implement picture, especially where hydraulic attachments or remotes are involved
Rear implement matching
The practical reason to check rear lift on the Kubota M6040 is implement fit. Think rotary cutter, medium tiller, grader blade, seeder, and heavy ballast box, then compare actual implement weight
Kubota M6040 3-Point Hitch FAQ
What is the rear lift capacity of the Kubota M6040?
Rear lift capacity for the Kubota M6040 is shown as 3,307 lb (1,500 kg) for lift at 24 inches behind the link ends. For real attachment matching, match implements carefully, especially if the attachment is long or carries weight far behind the hitch.
Is the 24-inch lift rating the one to trust?
For most rear implements, yes. The Kubota M6040 is listed at 3,307 lb (1,500 kg) at 24 inches behind the link ends, which better reflects weight hanging behind the hitch points.

How should I match rear implements to the Kubota M6040?
Start with 3,307 lb (1,500 kg) for lift at 24 inches behind the link ends, then compare the actual implement weight and overhang. Typical checks include rotary cutter, medium tiller, grader blade, seeder, and heavy ballast box.
Does hydraulic pump flow matter for the Kubota M6040?
Yes, but it is not the same as lift capacity. The Kubota M6040 is listed at 11 gpm (41.6 L/min) hydraulic pump flow, while the rear lift number tells you what the hitch can raise.
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.
