Die Kubota-stal spog met ’n paar voortreflike nuwelinge. Dit sluit in ’n nuwe trekker, ’n laaigraaf en ’n nutsvoertuig vir die plaas. Eerste is die B2650-trekker. Dit is die verbeterde weergawe van die B2530-trekker.
Kubota se kompakte trekkers is ’n staatmaker vir boere wat groot take in klein spasies moet verrig. Veral groente- en vrugteboere vind baat by die gemak waarmee Kubota se B-reeks in nou boorde en tonnels kan werk.
Roger Innes and Ivan van Heerden, course managers at Bushwillow and Firethorn, the two well-known courses at the Randpark Golf Club, have decided to add Club Car Carryall utility vehicles to their existing fleet. Club Car is distributed in South Africa by Smith Power Equipment (SPE).

With the success of Kubota tractors worldwide and particularly in South Africa over the past few years in agriculture, one tends to forget how well Kubota has performed in smaller applications. One such example is Muldersdrift-based Random Harvest Indigenous Nurseries whose owner, Linda De Luca, says that her fleet of Kubota’s has been “life-saving”.
Kubota is distributed in South Africa by Smith Power Equipment (SPE).
“I have had our Kubota tractors for about five months now and I use them to move product around the nursery, to pull orders, to move rubbish from one area to another and for a host of other daily tasks that must be done in the nursery environment. I shudder to think for how long we did all this with wheel barrows!” says Linda.
