Kubota M1-46 Hitch and Rear Lift Notes
Rear lift capacity note
For implement matching, the Kubota M1-46 should be judged from the 2,200 lb (998 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 M1-46, Category 1 is the important compatibility spec. Lift capacity tells you what it can raise; category tells you what fits
Hydraulic flow note
The Kubota M1-46’s captured hydraulic pump flow is 16.2 gpm (61.3 L/min). Lift capacity is still the main hitch number, but pump flow helps describe hydraulic capability
Operating weight note
The Kubota M1-46 operating weight is listed as 4,960 lb (2,250 kg). Tractor weight matters because a machine can sometimes lift more than it should comfortably carry on rough ground
Rear implement matching
The Kubota M1-46 hitch spec is useful because it helps judge whether attachments like rotary cutter, medium tiller, grader blade, seeder, and heavy ballast box are in the right size range
Kubota M1-46 3-Point Hitch FAQ
How much can the Kubota M1-46 rear 3-point hitch lift?
The main rear-lift number captured for the Kubota M1-46 is 2,200 lb (998 kg). Use that as the first-pass number for rear implements, not as a front-loader rating.
Why does the 24-inch rear lift spec matter?
The 2,200 lb (998 kg) rating matters because mounted implements put weight behind the lift arms. That extra distance makes the tractor work harder than a close-in hitch-end test.
What hitch category is the Kubota M1-46?
The listed hitch category for the Kubota M1-46 is Category 1. Match implement pins and hitch width to that category before worrying about lift capacity.
Can the Kubota M1-46 handle heavy rear attachments?
The Kubota M1-46’s useful lift reference is 2,200 lb (998 kg). It may suit rotary cutter, medium tiller, grader blade, seeder, and heavy ballast box, but match implements carefully, especially if the attachment is long or carries weight far behind the hitch.
Is lift capacity enough to size implements for the Kubota M1-46?
No. The Kubota M1-46 may list 2,200 lb (998 kg) of rear lift, but the 4,960 lb (2,250 kg) operating weight and 16.2 gpm (61.3 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.
