Kubota MZ555 Hitch and Rear Lift Notes
24-inch lift note
The Kubota MZ555’s 2,650 lb (1,202 kg) lift rating at 24 inches behind the link ends is the better real-world number for mounted implements than a bare hitch-end rating

Hitch category on the Kubota MZ555 is Category 1. That is one of the first checks before buying a rear blade, tiller, mower or ballast box
Hydraulic flow note
For hydraulic context, the Kubota MZ555 is listed at 12.5 gpm (47.3 L/min). Do not confuse pump flow with lift capacity; they answer different questions
Operating weight note
Weight matters with rear implements. The Kubota MZ555’s captured operating weight is 5,313 lb (2,410 kg), which affects ballast, traction and stability
Rear implement matching

Kubota MZ555 3-Point Hitch FAQ
How much can the Kubota MZ555 rear 3-point hitch lift?
The main rear-lift number captured for the Kubota MZ555 is 2,650 lb (1,202 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 2,650 lb (1,202 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 MZ555?
The listed hitch category for the Kubota MZ555 is Category 1. Match implement pins and hitch width to that category before worrying about lift capacity.
Can the Kubota MZ555 handle heavy rear attachments?
The Kubota MZ555’s useful lift reference is 2,650 lb (1,202 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 MZ555?
No. The Kubota MZ555 may list 2,650 lb (1,202 kg) of rear lift, but the 5,313 lb (2,410 kg) operating weight and 12.5 gpm (47.3 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.
