A 130 year-old company
Kubota has recently celebrated a very important milestone: the company’s first 130 years. In fact, Kubota was founded 130 years ago in Osaka, Honsu Island, Japan, one of the world capitals of the endothermic engine.
Kubota celebrated such a result with a big announcement in Las Vegas, last March at ConExpo. The V09 family grows up with the S7509, 6 cylinder in-line, 7.5 liters diesel engine, capable to provide up to 225 kW of power.
