As the UK, European and world leader in mini excavators, Kubota provides the largest range of minis available from a single manufacturer, with 18 base models spanning the weight range from 0.85 to 8 tonnes, and including the widest range of zero tail swing minis.
Kubota mini excavators have a legendary reputation for quality, performance, reliability and excellent residual values and their versatility makes them ideal for many different applications and end-users, from construction to landscaping and for plant hire companies to owner operators.
Kubota Sales and Marketing Manager, Richard Harrison, said: "Whilst Kubota has had a continuing presence at major national shows such as SED and Hillhead, we thought that it was the right time to take our world-class equipment to an even wider local audience, with a series of dedicated Kubota events at venues that might perhaps be more convenient for them".
"As well as seeing and trying machines from both our Construction Equipment and Tractor and Groundcare Divisions, the Roadshow will also provide the opportunity to meet members of the Kubota team, together with local Dealer staff, in a relaxing and enjoyable environment".
"Sales of Kubota minis have continued to increase significantly, further boosted by the incorporation of a complete 'ANTI-THEFT' security system, the first to be fitted as standard by an excavator manufacturer", added Richard Harrison.
All business visitors are welcome, entrance is completely free and no official invitation is necessary, so you can just turn up on the day - anytime between 10.00 am to 4.00om.
