Kubota L345 Hitch and Rear Lift Notes
Rear lift capacity note
For implement matching, the Kubota L345 should be judged from the 1,540 lb (699 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 L345, Category 1 is the important compatibility spec. Lift capacity tells you what it can raise; category tells you what fits
Hydraulic flow note
Hydraulic pump flow is listed as 8.2 gpm (31 L/min). That is useful context for hydraulic response and some rear or auxiliary hydraulic functions
Rear implement matching
The Kubota L345 hitch spec is useful because it helps judge whether attachments like box blade, small rotary cutter, tiller, ballast box, and rear blade are in the right size range

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.
