Kubota GB170 Hitch and Rear Lift Notes
Rear lift capacity note
The Kubota GB170 rear hitch spec points to 1,200 lb (544 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 GB170, start with Category 1, then check lift capacity and tractor stability
Hydraulic flow note
The Kubota GB170’s captured hydraulic pump flow is 14.7 gpm (55.6 L/min). Lift capacity is still the main hitch number, but pump flow helps describe hydraulic capability
Operating weight note
The Kubota GB170 operating weight is listed as 1,246 lb (565 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 GB170 is implement fit. Think box blade, small rotary cutter, tiller, ballast box, and rear blade, then compare actual implement weight
Kubota GB170 3-Point Hitch FAQ
What is the rear lift capacity of the Kubota GB170?
Rear lift capacity for the Kubota GB170 is shown as 1,200 lb (544 kg) for lift at 24 inches behind the link ends. For real attachment matching, stay conservative with heavy attachments and allow margin for implement overhang.
Is the 24-inch lift rating the one to trust?
For most rear implements, yes. The Kubota GB170 is listed at 1,200 lb (544 kg) at 24 inches behind the link ends, which better reflects weight hanging behind the hitch points.
Does hitch category matter on the Kubota GB170?
Yes. The Kubota GB170 is listed as Category 1, and that decides what rear implements physically connect cleanly.
How should I match rear implements to the Kubota GB170?
Start with 1,200 lb (544 kg) for lift at 24 inches behind the link ends, then compare the actual implement weight and overhang. Typical checks include box blade, small rotary cutter, tiller, ballast box, and rear blade.
Do hydraulic flow and weight matter for the Kubota GB170?
Yes. The Kubota GB170 lists hydraulic pump flow of 14.7 gpm (55.6 L/min) and operating weight of 1,246 lb (565 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.
