New Innovations
DIGITAL PANEL
A new digital panel and the Kubota Intelligent Control System (KICS) help reduce excavator downtime and repair fees by providing accurate and timely diagnostic readings and routine maintenance alerts. The panel not only lets you know when fuel is running low, but warns you during refueling when the tank is nearly full.

Low fuel display
 
Short Stroke Operating Lever
The new operating levers require less effort and shorter movements, ensuring improved control, responsiveness, and comfort, and reduced operator fatigue. Only a flick of the wrist is  needed for smooth excavator operation.
Simple Forefinger Operation
For some special applications that require continuous oil flow such as a brush cutter. The on/off button controlled by the forefinger reduces operator fatigue.
 
Proportional Flow Auxiliary Switch
Repositioned from the floor, a convenient thumb-operated switch enables easy operation of thumbs and other hydraulic attachments such as augers and breakers.
2-Speed Travel Switch
The new 2-speed travel switch is now mounted on the dozer lever for easier operation and control and advanced, user-friendly travel speed changes.
New Wrist Rest
Adjust the new custom wrist rests to your favorite position, or just move them aside. Either way, they help reduce arm movement and operator fatigue for increased job efficiency.
Working Performance / Durability
POWERFUL, VERSATILE PERFORMANCE
Thumb Bracket
An optional hydraulic thumb makes short work of a variety of loading and material handling jobs. The factory installed mount brackets and hydraulics significantly reduce the time needed to mount accessories.
Accumulator
The accumulator makes replacing attachments safer and more efficient. Turning the key to the "on" position clears residual pressure in the auxiliary hyd. hose, preventing oil from spewing out when replacing attachments.
If the engine is accidentally shut off while the front attachment is raised, turning the key to the "on" position allows you to safely lower it.
 
Load Sensing Hydraulic System
You no longer need to change lever strokes to adjust the amount of oil required for varying job loads - control valves automatically regulate and distribute the optimum amount of oil to each cylinder based on the weight of the load, resulting in perfectly matched speed, power, and cylinder timing. Even the slightest operator movements produce smooth and simultaneous operation of the boom, arm, bucket, and house.

Auxiliary Hydraulics
Auxiliary hydraulic hose are routed to the arm to accommodate a variety of attachments such as breakers and augers. The auxiliary hydraulic connections are located on the arm within easy reach and incorporate short hoses that are less likely to become tangled or damaged. The system includes bi-directional auxiliary hydraulic controls and a control valve.

Strong Bucket Breakout
Even when heavily loaded, the KX121-3 won't slow down, thanks to its top-of-class breakout force. With the dedicated or quick coupler bucket, the bucket breakout force exceeds 8,754 lbs. That's more than enough for even the toughest excavating jobs.

Wide Working Range
The KX121-3's powerful and responsive front working group can handle all your digging, lifting, and loading jobs. With it's larger bucket capacity and improved reach and digging depth, the KX121-3 meets or exceeds all job requirements on the construction site.

  Auto Idle System
The Auto Idle System improves safety, decreases noise, and reduces fuel consumption by approximately 10%. When the control levers are returned to the neutral position, the KX121-3 engine automatically decelerates back to its idling speed. When the control levers are again moved, the engine rpm automatically returns to the working rpm. A new Dial Accelerator smoothly coordinates speed and tachometer settings with a simple twist of the dial.

Rear Corner Protectors
Two heavy-duty protectors - one on each rear corner - protect the engine hood and side covers from damage when working in tight spaces.

Boom Cylinder Cover
Reinforced to provide maximum protection, the boom cylinder cover features a thick, V-shape design that deflects accidental contacts from the hydraulic breaker tool and prevents damage to the boom cylinder rod.

Extraordinary Stability and Lifting Capacity
Innovative counter balance technology provides superior excavator stability. A long tumbler distance, a lower center of gravity and Double Flanged Lower Track Rollers combine to deliver safe and effective performance when working to the side or with hydraulic attachments, or lifting heavy objects.

HYDRAULIC ANGLE BLADE (optional) [with FLOAT POSITION]
Save time and work more efficiently. With a simple movement of the dozer lever, the hydraulic angle blade can be angled to the right or left to push soil to the side as the machine moves forward, totally eliminating the need for repetitive repositioning at right angles when backfilling trenches.
Easy Operation
Up, down, left, and right - the angle blade can be moved and positioned with just a single lever
Tight Spots
The angle blade lets you work efficiently in confined spaces, alongside walls, and near busy roads. No wider than the tracks, it's also easy to transport between jobs.

Float Position
You don't need to adjust the dozer height to make a clean ground surface - after backfilling, just travel backward along the covered ditch with the dozer in the float position. Ground finishing work is now fast and easy!

Comfort / Serviceability
TOTAL COMFORT AND SAFETY
ROPS/FOPS Canopy and Cab
The ROPS/FOPS canopy and cab provide complete protection from accidental rollovers and falling objects. Both are OSHA certified to ensure an extra level of safety and security on the job.

 

Climate Controlled Cab
The standard heater and optional air conditioner lets you work in cool comfort on the hottest days and in warm comfort on the coldest. All year round, no matter what the weather outside, the KX121-3's climate-controlled cab will keep you comfortable and working at peak efficiency.
Spacious Operating Area with Deluxe Suspension Seat
More spacious than standard tail-swing excavators, the KX121-3's comfortable operating area helps reduce operator fatigue. The high-back deluxe suspension seat's height and spring firmness are adjustable, ensuring optimum comfort for every operator.
 
Convenient Two-pattern Selection System (TPSS)
Change between ISO and SAE operating patterns with a quick flip of the TPSS switch, without tools or leaving your seat.
SIMPLE MAINTENANCE
Two-piece Hose Design
The two-piece hose connections for the dozer and boom cylinder hoses simplify hose replacement and reduce downtime.

Wide Opening Engine Hood
Maintenance is a breeze, thanks to upward=opening covers that provide easy access to the fuel

tank, water separator, fuel filter, radiator, hydraulic tank, control valve, and more. All covers can be removed with standard tools in under ten minutes. Anti-vandalism locking is also standard feature.
