What the specs work out to

Figures MowerFacts computes from Kubota’s own numbers — not published by the manufacturer.

Weight & hauling

  • Machine weight1,814 lb
  • + 6×12 trailer900 lb
  • Towed weight2,714 lb
  • single-axle 3,500 lbCarries it, 786 lb spare
  • tandem-axle 7,000 lbCarries it, 4,286 lb spare

Needs a single-axle 3,500 lb trailer and a vehicle rated to tow at least 2,714 lb.

Gate & trailer fit

  • 32 in gateToo wide
  • 36 in gateToo wide
  • 48 in gateFits

Needs at least 44 in of clearance.

Power & run time

  • Run time per tank~7.9 h

Fit uses Kubota's published overall width.

Towed weight adds a 900 lb allowance for a 6x12 open utility trailer to Kubota's published machine weight. Your trailer's own weight is on its VIN plate. Tongue weight, axle placement and your vehicle's tow rating are still yours to check — this is the load, not a loading plan.

Run time assumes a typical 1 gal/hour burn at working load; real consumption varies with engine, load and cut.
