Kubota Corporation introduced its first tractor to the United States in 1969. Filling a product void in the American marketplace for a sub-compact tractor, the Kubota 21 HP L200 was an overnight success. Because of the initial success in America, the Kubota Tractor Corporation( KTC) was formed in Torrance, California in 1972 and the company continued to expand its product line for the U. S. market. This expansion has continued over the next 40 plus years, and Kubota now offers products in a wide variety of segments including lawn mowers, utility vehicles, construction equipment, and hay equipment. Today Kubota has a trusted dealer network equipped to serve the United States and around the nation.
