“ This is an exciting time in the expansion of Kubota ’ s agricultural business ,” says Rob Edwards , Kubota Agriculture ’ s business development manager . “ Our vision is to introduce a range of Kubota implements through carefully selected dealers who can support and expand our tractor and machinery business .”

Currently , Kubota has appointed 13 dealers throughout the UK and Ireland already . Among the latest

appointments are Vincent Tractors , TH Horn and George Browns .
