World leading Kubota minis take to the road

Kubota (UK) Ltd - Construction Equipment Division is providing the opportunity for anyone interested in their best-selling mini excavators to look over and try out models from their world leading range as part of the Kubota Live! Roadshow, which will be visiting seven locations around the country during September 2006.

Visitors will be able to get a closer look and test drive Kubota models from across their full minis range (850kg to 8 tonne), including the increasingly popular and extremely versatile zero tail swing machines. All of which are now fitted with a unique key-based 'ANTI-THEFT' system as standard equipment.

The Kubota Live! Roadshow will be covering the length and breadth of England and Scotland, starting with the first event at Myerscough College, Preston, Lancashire, on Tuesday 5th September and ending up at Worcester Rugby Club on Tuesday 26th September.

Each event will run from 10.00am to 4.00pm and the complete list of venues comprises:

  • 5th September - Myerscough College, Preston Lancashire.
  • 7th September - Oatridge College, West Lothian, Scotland.
  • 12th September - Newark Showground, Newark, Nottinghamshire.
  • 14th September - The National Stud, Newmarket, Suffolk.
  • 19th September - Sandown Park Racecourse, Esher, Surrey.
  • 21st September - Royal Bath & West Showground, Shepton Mallet, Somerset.
  • 26th September - Worcester Rugby Club, Worcester, Worcs.

The Roadshow will enable visitors to choose a suitable opportunity to see and test Kubota mini excavators and the RTV 900 rough terrain utility vehicle, alongside world-leading ride-on mowers and compact tractors from Kubota’s Tractor & Groundcare Division.

In addition to the chance to put Kubota machines through their paces, there will be variety of other exciting activities taking place on the day, including laser shooting and driving competitions, as well as special promotional offers for selected models.

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 & 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 & 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.
