Kubota M4072 Hitch and Rear Lift Notes
Rear lift capacity note
For implement matching, the Kubota M4072 should be judged from the 2,980 lb (1,352 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 M4072, Category 2 / Category 1 is the important compatibility spec. Lift capacity tells you what it can raise; category tells you what fits
Hydraulic flow note
For hydraulic context, the Kubota M4072 is listed at 12.6 gpm (47.7 L/min). Do not confuse pump flow with lift capacity; they answer different questions
Operating weight note
Weight matters with rear implements. The Kubota M4072’s captured operating weight is 6,702 lb (3,040 kg), which affects ballast, traction and stability
Rear implement matching
The Kubota M4072 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 M4072 3-Point Hitch FAQ
How much can the Kubota M4072 rear 3-point hitch lift?
The main rear-lift number captured for the Kubota M4072 is 2,980 lb (1,352 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 2,980 lb (1,352 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 M4072?
The listed hitch category for the Kubota M4072 is Category 2 / Category 1. Match implement pins and hitch width to that category before worrying about lift capacity.
Can the Kubota M4072 handle heavy rear attachments?
The Kubota M4072’s useful lift reference is 2,980 lb (1,352 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 M4072?
No. The Kubota M4072 may list 2,980 lb (1,352 kg) of rear lift, but the 6,702 lb (3,040 kg) operating weight and 12.6 gpm (47.7 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.
