Formed in 1979 and based at Thame, Oxfordshire, Kubota (U.K.) Limited is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Kubota Corporation of Japan. 

The Kubota Corporation was established in 1890 as a manufacturer of cast-iron products in Osaka, Japan before turning its attention towards powered equipment in the early 1920s.  Kubota is now represented in every continent, is one of the world's largest manufacturers of industrial diesel engines under 110 HP and is recognised as a world leader in compact tractors,  diesel ride-on mowers and mini diggers. 

Introducing the first compact tractors into the UK in the mid 1970s, Kubota remains the best selling compact tractor in the UK today.   The company puts this success down to the highest of manufacturing standards in its Japanese and American factories, product reliability, durability and low running costs as well as excellent resale values.

Over the years Kubota has pioneered new innovations in engine, tractor and mini digger design, put environmental issues at the forefront of its business and, with its dealers, developed a superb after sales programme. 

Users of Kubota machines are looked after by a network of specialist appointed dealers, many of which are multi branch operations.   First point of contact for sales, parts, service and warranty, Kubota dealers are trained to assist customers in choosing the correct machine or power unit for their application and when a Kubota investment is put to work, factory-trained dealer parts and service staff ensure it is kept operating at peak efficiency. The Thame Headquarters hold an extensive parts inventory and a technical support centre that provides training and practical help to ensure excellent after sales care, regardless of the age of a Kubota machine.
