The four-wheel drive Kubota M6-111 utility tractor was manufactured between 2015 and 2018. The Kubota M6-111 tractor is equipped with a 230 cu.in (3.8 L) Kubota V3800-TI-CRS 4-cylinder common rail direct injection turbocharged intercooled diesel engine. The engine has a cylinder bore of 3.94" (100 mm), piston stroke of 4.72" (120 mm), and maximum power of 107 hp (79.8 kW). The gear transmission consists of electro-hydraulic wet clutch and partial powershift gearbox with 24 forward and 24 reverse gears.

The maximum forward speed - 22.1 mph (35.6 kph), maximum reverse speed - 22.3 mph (35.9 kph). The closed center hydraulic system has a piston pump with a rated capacity of 18.7 gal/min (70.8 l/min). The hydraulic system pressure is 200 bar (2900 psi). The Kubota M6111 is equipped with a hydrostatic power steering system, hydraulic wet disc brakes, 13.6R24 front tyres, and 18.4R34 rear tyres. The tractor can be equipped with the following attachments: Kubota LA1955 front-end loader with a lift capacity to full height of 4299 lbs (1950 kg).
