Kubota KB17X Hitch and Rear Lift Notes
Rear lift capacity note
The key hitch number for the Kubota KB17X is 1,200 lb (544 kg) (3-point hitch lift capacity). In plain terms, it is useful for compact implements like box blades, small tillers, rotary cutters, ballast boxes and rear blades
Hydraulic flow note
The Kubota KB17X’s captured hydraulic pump flow is 9.8 gpm (37.1 L/min). Lift capacity is still the main hitch number, but pump flow helps describe hydraulic capability
Operating weight note
The Kubota KB17X operating weight is listed as 1,600 lb (726 kg). Tractor weight matters because a machine can sometimes lift more than it should comfortably carry on rough ground

Do not buy rear implements by model number alone. Match the Kubota KB17X’s lift capacity against gear like box blade, small rotary cutter, tiller, ballast box, and rear blade
Kubota KB17X 3-Point Hitch FAQ
What is the rear lift capacity of the Kubota KB17X?
Rear lift capacity for the Kubota KB17X is shown as 1,200 lb (544 kg) for 3-point hitch lift capacity. For real attachment matching, stay conservative with heavy attachments and allow margin for implement overhang.
Is rear lift capacity always measured the same way?

Can I choose implements from lift capacity alone?
No. For the Kubota KB17X, lift capacity is only one check. Hitch category, pin size and implement geometry still need confirming.
How should I match rear implements to the Kubota KB17X?
Start with 1,200 lb (544 kg) for 3-point hitch lift capacity, then compare the actual implement weight and overhang. Typical checks include box blade, small rotary cutter, tiller, ballast box, and rear blade.
Is lift capacity enough to size implements for the Kubota KB17X?
No. The Kubota KB17X may list 1,200 lb (544 kg) of rear lift, but the 1,600 lb (726 kg) operating weight and 9.8 gpm (37.1 L/min) hydraulic flow also matter for real work.
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.
