Kubota dealer Hunts Engineering expands into agriculture

Kubota(UK) Ltd is pleased to announce that from 01 Jan 2025, Hunts Engineering has been appointed as a dealer for the entire range of M-series tractors, to cover areas of Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire.

Located on the Fosse Way at Halford near Shipston-on-Stour, the family-run business is no stranger to the Kubota brand, having been handling sales, service and aftercare for the Kubota ground care range since2017.

Since then, the firm has been gradually expanding its portfolio to include R0 compact loaders and KTH telehandlers. And that offering will soon include all M-series tractors up to the 175hp flagship model, theM7-174 KVT Premium.

“As part of the groundcare range, we had been selling tractors up to and including the M6001 Utility series,” explains managing director Pete Hunt. “And with our background in agricultural engineering, plus on-going combine servicing and repairs for up to 20 harvesters/year, our business is ideally positioned in the agricultural marketplace to step into the full supply and servicing of the entire M-series product range.”

Established in 2007, Hunts Engineering currently operates with around 20 staff, of which six are mobile, operating with fully-equipped vans. The business believes in investing in staff training, and is keen to ensure its team is kept up-to-date with all products from the manufacturers it represents.

Henry Bredin, general manager of Kubota (UK)’s agricultural and groundcare machinery division sees the firm’s expansion into agriculture as a positive step forward. “The ability of Hunts Engineering to grow its business to meet the needs of the farming sector and support a wider customer base is a positive step forward for new and existing customers in Warwickshire.”

“Such a strategic expansion will see Hunts Engineering continue to develop its partnership with Kubota, and strengthen our commitment to customers and the markets in which our business operates,” said Henry Bredin.

Hunts Hacks

STRIMMER LINE HACK: Do you find that your strimmer line doesn't last and gets brittle overtime? HUNTS HAVE A TIP FOR YOU

Strimmer line does over time get brittle and breaks easily which is not what you want after winter storage. There is no need to worry anymore, this clever hack will rejuvenate your strimmer line. Drop your reel of line in to a bucket of water for 24 - 48 hours before use.

This should bring your line back to life. Strimmer line is hydrophilic which means that it will absorb water and this will restore its flexibility and last longer.

HUNTS STOCK A GREAT RANGE OF STRIMMER LINES TO SUIT ALL STRIMMINGJOBS
