Kubota M5640SU Hitch and Rear Lift Notes
Rear lift capacity note
For implement matching, the Kubota M5640SU should be judged from the 3,307 lb (1,500 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 M5640SU, 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
Hydraulic pump flow is listed as 11 gpm (41.6 L/min). That is useful context for hydraulic response and some rear or auxiliary hydraulic functions
Rear implement matching
The Kubota M5640SU 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 M5640SU 3-Point Hitch FAQ
How much can the Kubota M5640SU rear 3-point hitch lift?
The main rear-lift number captured for the Kubota M5640SU is 3,307 lb (1,500 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 3,307 lb (1,500 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 M5640SU?
The listed hitch category for the Kubota M5640SU is Category 2 / Category 1. Match implement pins and hitch width to that category before worrying about lift capacity.
Can the Kubota M5640SU handle heavy rear attachments?
The Kubota M5640SU’s useful lift reference is 3,307 lb (1,500 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.
Does hydraulic pump flow matter for the Kubota M5640SU?
Yes, but it is not the same as lift capacity. The Kubota M5640SU is listed at 11 gpm (41.6 L/min) hydraulic pump flow, while the rear lift number tells you what the hitch can raise.
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.
