Kubota M110X Troubleshooting

The Kubota M110X is a four-wheel drive row crop tractor from M-series. This model was manufactured between 2009 and 2014. The Kubota M110X tractor is powered by 230 cubic inches (3.8 L) Kubota V3800-TI-CRS 4-cycle 4-cylinder direct injection turbocharged diesel engine with a rated power of 110 hp (82 kW).

The Kubota M110X is fitted with 2 transmission options: Intelli-Shift partial powershift transmission with 16 forward and 16 reverse gears, and Intell-Shift Creeper transmission with 24 forward and 24 reverse gears. Max forward/reverse speed (travel/creeper): 21.4 mph (34.5 km/h) and 0.7 mph (1.1 km/h).

The open center hydraulic system includes a gear pump with fluid flow rate of 18.1 gpm (68.5 lpm). The hydraulic pressure is 196 bar (2845 psi). The Kubota M110X is equipped with a hydrostatic power steering, hydraulic wet disc brakes, 13.6R24 or 12.4x24 front tires, and 18.4R34 or 16.9x34 rear tires. The wheelbase is 95.9" (2430 mm). The tractor is compatible with a Kubota LA1953 loader with lift capacity to maximum height of 4300 lbs (1950 kg) and breakout force of 5802 lbs (2631 kg).
