Kubota enters commercial walk-behind mower market

Kubota continued its growth in the outdoor power equipment industry with the introduction of a line of gas-powered commercial walk-behind mowers at GIE+EXPO 2015. The new product line consists of 3 models, ranging from 14 to 19 horsepower. The mowers feature gear and hydrostatic transmissions and fixed or floating decks, depending on the model.

“Kubota’s residential and commercial zero turns and lawn tractors maintain a strong reputation for quality and reliability,” said Tom Vachal, Kubota senior product manager for turf equipment. “Since initiating our alliance with Echo last year for handheld outdoor power equipment, and now with our introduction of walk-behind mowers, we’ve taken steps to become a full-service, one-stop shop for our OPE customers.”

The new mowers will be available at dealerships nationwide beginning in November 2015.
