In 1998, Kubota introduced larger models M110 and M120 to the international markets. In Europe, the first models from this series were the M105S and M125X, introduced in 2004, which featured, among other things, a wider cab than previous models. The wheelbase and hydraulics of the four-cylinder models were the same as in the earlier M80 series. The basic transmission in the four-cylinder models was 16+16. In Europe, a hydraulic quick shift was standard. The range shift was electric. The five-cylinder models had an 8-speed quick shift, quick shift automation, and a total of 16+16 gears and 24+24 with creep gears. The speed of the front wheels was increased with steering angles over 35 degrees to enhance turning performance. The cab had molded plastic panels designed similarly to European tractors, but the cab itself and the lack of a power lift were still Kubota’s weaknesses in the competition.

In 2007, the M108S and M128X models equipped with common rail engines were introduced. Their emission technology also included exhaust gas recirculation. The engine of the M128X was a 6.1-liter 4-cylinder.
