Kubota JB15X Hitch and Rear Lift Notes
Rear lift capacity note

The 24-inch lift figure is usually the more useful number because rear implements hang behind the lift arms, not directly on them

Rear implement matching
Use the Kubota JB15X’s hitch capacity as a filter before shopping for box blade, small rotary cutter, tiller, ballast box, and rear blade
