The floor mats on the recalled Kubota utility vehicles can warp or degrade and interfere with the throttle pedal, posing crash and injury hazards.

Johnson Tractor, a 5-store Case IH and Kubota dealer, announced its local move to 200 Steward Road, Rochelle, Ill. The dealership had a soft grand opening recently and is planning a celebration to thank customers and team members for 41 years of successful business growth in the fall.

The opportunity first arose in August 2019, when Kubota came to Gantt with the news that another nearby Kubota dealer, covering the Monroe, La., area, was planning to terminate its contract.

Kubota has announced a first-ever community revitalization grant program, “Hometown Proud,” and is calling on all cities, towns, municipalities and nonprofits to submit an application for a chance to win $100,000 in funding and use of Kubota equipment to refresh, refurbish or revitalize a public space.
