Kubota L235 Hitch and Rear Lift Notes

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
