Kubota Tractor Corp. (KTC) announced the purchase of nearly 318 acres in Ponder, Tex. The location is roughly 30 miles northwest of its North American headquarters in Grapevine, Tex. The property, dubbed Kubota Ranch, will strengthen the company’s roots in the greater Dallas-Fort Worth region. In addition, the location enables dealers to visit the headquarters for previews of new Kubota products.
Kubota Ranch also offers Kubota Tractor Corp. ample field space for testing, training, operating and demonstrating Kubota equipment. This includes
- digging
- plowing
- excavating
- maneuvering
- assessing equipment
- implement functionality
- utilizing farm equipment to tend to the land, including the possibility of eventually growing, mowing and baling hay
Currently, there are no plans to build an assembly or distribution facility at Kubota Ranch. The four small utility buildings located on the property will remain, and KTC officials have a vision to build additional amenities to make Kubota Ranch a dealer destination and testing ground.
