Kubota GL268 Hitch and Rear Lift Notes
Rear lift capacity note
For implement matching, the Kubota GL268 should be judged from the 2,200 lb (998 kg) lift at 24 inches behind the link ends figure. That gives a better real-world read than horsepower alone
24-inch lift note
A 24-inch rating matters because weight gets harder to lift as it moves farther behind the tractor
Hitch category note
For the Kubota GL268, Category 1 is the important compatibility spec. Lift capacity tells you what it can raise; category tells you what fits
Hydraulic flow note
The 6.2 gpm (23.5 L/min) hydraulic flow figure helps round out the Kubota GL268’s rear-implement picture, especially where hydraulic attachments or remotes are involved
Operating weight note
The 3,020 lb (1,370 kg) operating weight gives context for the Kubota GL268’s hitch lift capacity. Rear ballast and tire setup can still change the real-world feel
Rear implement matching
The Kubota GL268 hitch spec is useful because it helps judge whether attachments like rotary cutter, medium tiller, grader blade, seeder, and heavy ballast box are in the right size range

Yes. The Kubota GL268 lists hydraulic pump flow of 6.2 gpm (23.5 L/min) and operating weight of 3,020 lb (1,370 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.
