Kubota M6800 Hitch and Rear Lift Notes
Rear lift capacity note
The key hitch number for the Kubota M6800 is 3,307 lb (1,500 kg) (lift at 24 inches behind the link ends). In plain terms, it is suited to common property and farm implements, heavier blades, mowers, seeders and general rear attachments
24-inch lift note
For the Kubota M6800, the 3,307 lb (1,500 kg) 24-inch lift spec is the one to use when comparing tillers, blades, mowers, seeders and ballast boxes
Hitch control note
The Kubota M6800’s hitch-control field is shown as position control. Use it as a soft reference, not a headline specification
Hydraulic flow note
The 12.1 gpm (45.8 L/min) hydraulic flow figure helps round out the Kubota M6800’s rear-implement picture, especially where hydraulic attachments or remotes are involved
Operating weight note
The 5,997 lb (2,720 kg) operating weight gives context for the Kubota M6800’s hitch lift capacity. Rear ballast and tire setup can still change the real-world feel

Kubota M6800 3-Point Hitch FAQ
How much can the Kubota M6800 rear 3-point hitch lift?
The main rear-lift number captured for the Kubota M6800 is 3,307 lb (1,500 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 3,307 lb (1,500 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 M6800?
The listed hitch category for the Kubota M6800 is Category 2. Match implement pins and hitch width to that category before worrying about lift capacity.
Can the Kubota M6800 handle heavy rear attachments?
The Kubota M6800’s useful lift reference is 3,307 lb (1,500 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.
Is lift capacity enough to size implements for the Kubota M6800?
No. The Kubota M6800 may list 3,307 lb (1,500 kg) of rear lift, but the 5,997 lb (2,720 kg) operating weight and 12.1 gpm (45.8 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.
