There are actually 2 slightly different Kubota M96S tractor models. One is the Kubota M96SH while the other model is the Kubota M96SDS. There are a few differences between these models including the gearbox and the chassis. However both use the same engine. This is a V3800-DI-T diesel engine. This turbocharged engine is a 4 cylinder model with a displacement of 3.769 liters. The engine is rated at 2600 rpm and has a power output of 95 hp. The engine provides the PTO with a maximum of 84 hp. The battery used to start the engine is recharged by a 45 amp alternator.

The Kubota M96SH tractor comes with a gearbox that gives it 16 speeds traveling forward and 16 in reverse also. However there is the option of a transmission with 24 gears going forward and in reverse also. On the Kubota M96SDS you have a gearbox that has 32 speeds moving forwards and in reverse, with the option to upgrade to a transmission that gives you 48 gears in both forwards and reverse. Both M96S tractors use a hydraulic wet disc clutch to change gears, while to slow down it has a hydraulic wet disk braking system. The SH is built on a 2WD chassis and so only has a rear differential lock, while the SDS is built on a 4WD chassis and has both a front and rear differential lock.

The length of the Kubota M96S comes to 4.15 m (163 inches) and it has a wheelbase of 2.44 m (96 inches). The M96SH weighs in at 2840 kg (6261 lbs) while the M96SDS model is a lot heavier, tipping the scales at 3370 kg (7430 lbs). Other models of a similar power in the M series from Kubota include the Kubota M100X and the Kubota M9540 tractors.
