Kubota L235 Hitch and Rear Lift Notes
| Rear lift capacity note | For the Kubota L235, 1,200 lb (544 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 L235 hitch category is listed as Category 1. This matters because rear implements need to match the tractor’s hitch pin size and geometry |
| Hitch control note | For the Kubota L235, quarter-inching valve is listed as hitch-control context. Do not size implements from this field; use lift capacity and hitch category first |
| Hydraulic flow note | For hydraulic context, the Kubota L235 is listed at 6.2 gpm (23.5 L/min). Do not confuse pump flow with lift capacity; they answer different questions |
| Operating weight note | Weight matters with rear implements. The Kubota L235’s captured operating weight is 2,200 lb (998 kg), which affects ballast, traction and stability |
| Rear implement matching | Use the Kubota L235’s hitch capacity as a filter before shopping for box blade, small rotary cutter, tiller, ballast box, and rear blade |
