During the annual Val Farmers’ Day held on 2 July 2025, Smith Power Equipment took the opportunity to showcase the power, reliability, and versatility of the Kubota M135GX to local farmers.

This tractor once again proved to be a smart investment for any farmer who needs high performance, comfort, and low operating costs. Visitors were able to see the tractor in action and appreciate why it’s so popular in its class.

Smart design and comfort that counts

The first impression of the Kubota M135GX is its elegant yet robust appearance. The tractor is equipped with the spacious Grand X cabin, designed for maximum comfort and productivity. It offers excellent all-round visibility, thanks to large windows and a roof window—especially useful in front-loader models.

Inside, the cabin is spacious, quiet, and comfortable, with well-positioned controls that make work easier and less tiring. The digital monitoring system keeps the operator informed about key metrics like fuel consumption, PTO operation, and hydraulic flow. With an adjustable steering wheel and air suspension seat, even long days in the field are a pleasure.

Proven engine performance

Under the hood lies a 4-cylinder Kubota turbo diesel engine that delivers an impressive 99 kW of power. This engine was specially developed for agricultural use, with excellent fuel efficiency. It’s designed to ensure fuel economy and reliability so that farmers get the most out of every liter of diesel.

With the Kubota M135GX, you have the power you need to get the job done. Its PTO (power take-off) can easily drive a wide range of implements using Kubota’s 2-speed PTO (540 rpm and 1000 rpm). To boost efficiency, the independent PTO can be engaged or disengaged from the cabin without stopping the tractor.

Efficient hydraulic systems for modern implements

One of the highlights of the Kubota M135GX is its hydraulic capability. The tractor features a hydraulic pump with a flow of up to 63 liters per minute, more than enough to power modern, high demand implements.

With three double-acting rear hydraulic valves and a rear lift capacity of up to 6 100 kg, this tractor is ready to work with a wide range of implements—from heavy ploughs to balers and sprayers. The system is not only powerful but also easy to control and accurate enough for precision work, saving time and effort.

At the Val Farmers’ Day demonstration, farmers experienced first-hand how the M135GX balances power and operating costs. Here, the Kubota was paired with the Agromast BT30 high-speed disc.

Low operating costs and easy maintenance

The M135GX delivers excellent value with its low cost of ownership. It’s designed for easy maintenance with simple access to all filters and service points. This allows farmers to perform servicing quickly and easily—either themselves or with help from Smith Power’s technical team.

Kubota has also ensured that the engine and transmission are built to minimise downtime, with readily available spare parts. Combined with Kubota’s well-known fuel efficiency, this means you get a tractor that saves money over time—without compromising on performance.

Why farmers trust this utility tractor

During the demonstration at Val Farmers’ Day, farmers saw first-hand that the M135GX is an outstanding tractor in its class, offering a perfect balance between power and operating cost. Its versatility makes it suitable for both small- and large farms, and its robust build ensures it can handle the challenges of South African agriculture with ease. The fact that it’s reliable and cost-effective makes it a smart long-term investment.

The tractor is equipped with the spacious Grand X cabin, designed for maximum comfort and productivity. The cabin offers excellent visibility in all directions, with large windows and a roof window for even better sightlines.

A reliable partner on your farm

With its combination of excellent comfort, high performance, low maintenance costs, and strong hydraulics, the Kubota M135GX is a true partner for farmers who seek versatility, high productivity, and efficiency.
