Where the line-up sits
The 39 Kubota configurations profiled here run from 13.7 to 89 PTO hp across 30 model families. 3 of them sit within 1 PTO hp of a 30, 35, 45, 50 or 65-hp attachment limit, where the transmission or the document version can change the answer.
Gear and HST
6 Kubota models here are profiled in both gear and HST versions. The widest gap is the L3302’s 1.9 PTO hp (28 gear, 26.1 HST). 1 is rated the same on both. In 3 of them the gap crosses a published attachment limit; the L4802’s gap spans the 40-hp line.
Lift
Published lift 24 inches behind the hitch runs from 680 to 4,630 lb. 16 configurations list less than the 1,950 lb of Wallenstein BX102RI, the heaviest attachment on this site.
Hitch category
2 configurations list a Category 2 hitch only, which this site screens out for Category 1-only attachments; 12 list Category 1 and 2 or a hitch convertible between them.
What fits most often
Across these configurations, WoodMaxx WM-8H (35 of 39) and WoodMaxx WM-8M (34) are the chippers that most often clear the published limits; Farmer-Helper FH-EF95 (26) and Farmer-Helper FH-EF105 (26) lead the flail mowers. ‘Clears’ means not excluded; nearly every pairing still needs dealer confirmation.
Kubota notes
Where Kubota offers gear and HST versions it rates their PTO power separately; the gear and HST section shows where that gap crosses a limit. The M7060’s catalog and 2024 sheet disagree. The M5-111’s 89 PTO hp is the most of any Kubota here; its M5 figures come from the 2026 catalog alone. The BX23S is not profiled because no lift figure was published. 15 configurations marked † carry a recorded source conflict.
Take these questions with you.
- Which exact configuration and transmission is the tractor?
- Which document date do the PTO and lift figures come from?
- Is the attachment rated on engine or PTO horsepower?
- What does the dealer list for lift 24 inches behind the hitch?
Keep these questions with your exact tractor and attachment details.
