Kubota to Utilize Buhler Industries' Facilities to Build Large Tractors

USAgNet - Kubota Corporation announced its decision to utilize the development and production capabilities of Buhler Industries Inc. for a new series of tractors.

Buhler has a proven track record for designing, manufacturing, and distributing large tractors in North America and Kubota has chosen to take this direction with a view toward improving development lead time and optimizing product specifications to meet local requirements.

With this new arrangement, which will enable the addition of tractors in a horsepower range greater than the currently largest M7 170-horsepower line, Kubota will strengthen its large tractor business in the North American market.

Incorporating Kubota's proprietary knowhow on ease of operation and functional design, new large tractors customized exclusively for Kubota will be introduced to the United States and Canada from the second half of 2019, in an effort to penetrate the North American large tractor market.
