Kubota B1550 Hitch and Rear Lift Notes
Rear lift capacity note
The Kubota B1550 rear hitch spec points to 670 lb (304 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 B1550, start with Category 1, then check lift capacity and tractor stability
Hydraulic flow note
The Kubota B1550’s captured hydraulic pump flow is 5.5 gpm (20.8 L/min). Lift capacity is still the main hitch number, but pump flow helps describe hydraulic capability
Operating weight note
The Kubota B1550 operating weight is listed as 2,600 lb (1,179 kg). Tractor weight matters because a machine can sometimes lift more than it should comfortably carry on rough ground
Rear implement matching
The practical reason to check rear lift on the Kubota B1550 is implement fit. Think small rear blade, carryall, light ballast box, small landscape rake, and light mower, then compare actual implement weight
Kubota B1550 3-Point Hitch FAQ
What is the Kubota B1550 3-point hitch lift capacity?
The Kubota B1550 is listed with 670 lb (304 kg) for lift at 24 inches behind the link ends. That makes it a light rear-lift tractor, so it is best suited to lighter rear implements, small blades, carryalls and light ballast boxes.
What does the Kubota B1550 24-inch lift capacity mean?
It means the Kubota B1550 is rated to lift 670 lb (304 kg) with the load measured 24 inches behind the link ends. That is usually closer to real implement use than a hitch-end-only number.
Can the Kubota B1550 use any rear implement?
No. Start with the Category 1 hitch category, then check implement weight against the 670 lb (304 kg) rating at 24 inches behind the link ends.
What rear implements can the Kubota B1550 lift?
Use the 670 lb (304 kg) rating at 24 inches behind the link ends as the first filter for implements such as small rear blade, carryall, light ballast box, small landscape rake, and light mower. Also check hitch category Category 1 and operating weight 2,600 lb (1,179 kg) before choosing the implement.
Do hydraulic flow and weight matter for the Kubota B1550?
Yes. The Kubota B1550 lists hydraulic pump flow of 5.5 gpm (20.8 L/min) and operating weight of 2,600 lb (1,179 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.
