Kubota M126X Troubleshooting
The
Kubota M126X is a 4-wheel drive row crop tractor. This model was manufactured
between 2009 and 2014. The Kubota M126X tractor is powered by 373.7 cu.in (6.1
L) Kubota V6108-TI-CRS 4-cylinder direct injection turbocharged intercooled
diesel engine with a rated output power of 126 hp (94 kW).
The Kubota M126X is fitted with two types of transmission. 1st type:
Intelli-Shift partial powershift transmission with 16 forward and 16
reverse gears. 2nd type: Intelli-Shift Creeper transmission with 24
forward and 24 reverse gears. The maximum travel speed - 22.5 mph (36.3
km/h), maximum creeper speed - 0.7 mph (1.1 km/h). The open center
hydraulic system used a gear pump with rated fluid flow of 20.4 gpm
(77.7 lpm). The hydraulic system pressure is 196 bar (2845 psi).
The tractor is equipped with a hydrostatic power steering, hydraulic wet
disc brakes, 14.9R24 or 420/70R24 front tires, and 18.4R38 or 520/80R38
rear tires. The wheelbase is 105.9" (2680 mm). The Kubota M126X is
compatible with Kubota LA2253 loader with a 84" (2130 mm) bucket and
lift capacity to full height of 4877 lbs (2212 kg).
