    History<\/span><\/h3>\n

    Kubota is the Japanese tractor brand with the most listings on Machines4U. And it\u2019s easy to see why. Quality components, long machine life and rave reviews have made them a farm-favourite for many Aussies. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Established in 1890, by Gonshiro Kubota, Kubota started as a metal casting business in Osaka, Japan. It didn\u2019t take long before the company started producing its own range of oil-based engines for agricultural and industrial applications though, with the first products manufactured and sold in 1922. <\/span><\/p>\n

    According to Kubota, they developed and launched Japan\u2019s first farm tractor in 1960. Which shows how dedicated they are to innovation within the industry. <\/span><\/p>\n

    For more than 40 years, Kubota has shipped their state-of-the-art tractors to Australia and around the world, making a name for themselves in the agricultural industry. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Tractors<\/span><\/h3>\n

    Kubota gives you plenty of choice when it comes to their tractors, with a selection of machines ranging from 18HP up to 170HP. Possibly the most popular series Kubota offers is the M series. Ranging from 50HP to 105HP, these tractors can perform multiple roles across a farm and are ideal for small or acreage landowners alike. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Within the M series, tractors like the <\/span>M95X<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>M8540<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>M9540<\/span><\/a> stand out. They offer versatility when you\u2019re choosing the right tractor, with options like: <\/span><\/p>\n
