Kubota STV32 3-Point Hitch FAQ
How much can the Kubota STV32 rear 3-point hitch lift?
The main rear-lift number captured for the Kubota STV32 is 1,540 lb (699 kg). Use that as the first-pass number for rear implements, not as a front-loader rating.
Is rear lift capacity always measured the same way?

What hitch category is the Kubota STV32?
The listed hitch category for the Kubota STV32 is Category 1. Match implement pins and hitch width to that category before worrying about lift capacity.
Can the Kubota STV32 handle heavy rear attachments?
The Kubota STV32’s useful lift reference is 1,540 lb (699 kg). It may suit box blade, small rotary cutter, tiller, ballast box, and rear blade, but stay conservative with heavy attachments and allow margin for implement overhang.
Is lift capacity enough to size implements for the Kubota STV32?
No. The Kubota STV32 may list 1,540 lb (699 kg) of rear lift, but the 2,502 lb (1,135 kg) operating weight and 8.2 gpm (31 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.
