BTME preview: Kubota

By Alistair January 19, 2023 09:59

No trip to BTME would be complete without a stop by the Kubota stand to see the latest innovations in its golf and groundcare portfolio. Visitors to Stand 624 will be able to see a number of units from their RTV range, including the top-selling RTV-X1110 equipped with a dedicated golf cage kit, alongside a new, wider Centre Collect Front Mower (CCFM) from the Kubota Gianni Ferrari S.R.L division.

Renowned for their safety and adaptability, Kubota’s RTV utility vehicles promise control and comfort across all types of terrain. Launched earlier this year, the RTV 520 is well suited to the golf market with an easy-access, heavy-duty cargo bed and lightweight overall footprint. The powerful – yet quiet – 2-cylinder engine and hydrostatic transmission delivers performance, reliability and excellent traction, while improved suspension and softer seats ensure a comfortable operator experience.

Also in the RTV portfolio and on-show in Harrogate will be the RTV-X1110 from Kubota’s X-Series. The RTV-X1110 offers greater power and enhanced versatility thanks to a 24.2hp diesel engine and for the very first time, the RTV-X1110 will be shown complete with golf cage for ultimate efficiency and safety when conducting tasks on the driving range.

For cut and collect around the course, such as roughs or heather management, the new Centre Collect Front Mower (CCFM) FC4-501 promises to be another highlight. Featuring a 50hp engine and wider 155cm ‘floating’ out-front flail deck that promises to conform to undulating ground, the CCFM is the ‘big brother’ to the smaller 25hp FC3-261 version debuted at SALTEX.

With new products launching across the portfolio, the Kubota technical team will be on hand across the three days to discuss the complete tractor, ride-on mower and side-by-side vehicle ranges.
