Been writing allot about Kubota heavy duty equipment – specifically tractors, mowers, rtvs, and excavators. Kubota has been around since 1890 and was founded in Japan. They have offices and manufacturing plants all over the world now. They’re equipment is of high end quality and is tough. Not only is Kubota equipment tough and built well – it’s also extremely powerful and easy to operate.

When we had our back yard landscaped the contractor used a Kuboka mini-excavator to do the work, and I was amazed at how fluid the operation was. It helped that the guy operating the excavator really knew what he was doing.

Kubota sells their fine equipment all over the world, and is VERY popular in developed ccountries, and even in undeveloped countries as they improve their infrastructure. They have become more and more of a presence in their industry because of the reliabilty of the implements and accessories. They’re equipment generally stands up to the rigorous treatment of working in the business of “digging and moving dirt”.

But don’t get me wrong, Kubota doesn’t just make excavators and skid steer machines – they make fabulous utility vehicles as well, and small tractors for doing light work like snow plowing and grass cutting. These light Kubota tractors are ideal for families living on acreages and HAVE to have some machinery to move snow and cut grass.

There are some multi-use Kubota machinery you can buy as well if you are a professional who needs an machine ecompassing a bucket loader on the front and a backhoe on the back. These can run up around $13,000 – $15,000 used. New can range as well depending on the dealer that is selling you the tractor.

Kubota Focuses On Smaller Tractors

As you can tell, Kubota focuses all of their attention on small tractors, excavators, and mowers, including the smaller size implements that accompany these machines. It has always been a very smart and frugal move on the part of Kubota’s third generation management and marketing teams. It would have been easy for them to try and branch their market out into large and heavy machinery such as the kinds Catepillar and others make. Some of Kubota’s excavators may look rather large, and can certainly haul hard and fast, but they don’t try to compete with the largest construction equipment corporations.

Kubota Financing Department

There is also a Kubota financing division where the assist in the financing process. They have a long standing relationship with their customers, and this is part of the reason why – they help honestly and equitably in the goal to foster public relations, make interest profits, and keep their customers coming back.

You can read more about the Kubota Credit Corporation of U.S.A here. They’ve been providing financing since 1982 and there is no sign of them every giving up their financing division (KCC).

Kubota Safety

Kubota has always been renown for their safety rating in their chosen market. Their Japanese engineering teams have been able to incorporate some excellent safety features such as their cab designs and roll bars. They have a very safe steering design as well, which is extremely important to avoid tipping and roll overs. Here is a quote from their web site if you are interested;

Kubota encourages all owners to know their equipment and to follow good safety practices when using Kubota Products. Your Kubota equipment has been designed and built with your safety in mind, but a tractor and its attachments are unable to control their own operation, or to choose the environment in which they work.
The ultimate responsibility for safe operation lies with you, the operator.
We at Kubota wish you safe operating!

One of the things I’ve noticed with Kubota is their educational approach to safety. They understand that the safest thing you can do as an operator is to be educated in the operation of the equipment. It can be VERY dangerous operating most all Kubota equipment if you don’t have any experience and are ignorant to the proper steps to take during usage.
