Sales in 2012 set a record, exceeding the previous year by more than 42,000 units.

Kubota is confident that their sales will continue to follow the strong market sales as they see growth in the diesel segment.
"Kubota is seeing strong sales in the work-oriented segment of the utility vehicle market, and expects 2013 industry sales to remain strong for the rest of the year,” shares Todd Stucke, vice president of Agriculture and Turf Equipment for Kubota Tractor Corporation. “Our diesel RTVs are especially seeing steady growth."
