Kubota GL-43 Hitch and Rear Lift Notes
Rear lift capacity note
For the Kubota GL-43, 1,500 lb (680 kg) is the headline rear-lift capacity captured. This matters for ballast boxes, tillers, blades, mowers and other mounted implements
24-inch lift note
The 24-inch lift figure is usually the more useful number because rear implements hang behind the lift arms, not directly on them
Hitch category note
The Kubota GL-43 hitch category is listed as Category 1. This matters because rear implements need to match the tractor’s hitch pin size and geometry
Hydraulic flow note
The 8.2 gpm (31 L/min) hydraulic flow figure helps round out the Kubota GL-43’s rear-implement picture, especially where hydraulic attachments or remotes are involved
Operating weight note
The 3,880 lb (1,760 kg) operating weight gives context for the Kubota GL-43’s hitch lift capacity. Rear ballast and tire setup can still change the real-world feel
Rear implement matching
Use the Kubota GL-43’s hitch capacity as a filter before shopping for box blade, small rotary cutter, tiller, ballast box, and rear blade
