Kubota M7-173 Hitch and Rear Lift Notes
Rear lift capacity note
For implement matching, the Kubota M7-173 should be judged from the 11,797 lb (5,351 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 M7-173, Category 2 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 21.1 gpm (79.9 L/min). That is useful context for hydraulic response and some rear or auxiliary hydraulic functions
Operating weight note
For the Kubota M7-173, operating weight is 16,204 lb (7,350 kg). Use that beside rear lift capacity before hanging a heavy implement out the back
Rear implement matching
The Kubota M7-173 hitch spec is useful because it helps judge whether attachments like large mounted implements, heavy tillage tools, big mower, large planter, and heavy ballast setup are in the right size range
