The family-run business will supply the manufacturer's range of tractor and RTV machinery and provide complete aftersales, parts and technical support to its customers across Wiltshire and East Somerset.

Howard & Sons, based in Marston near Devizes, has been involved in the agricultural industry since 1968, starting as beef cattle and cereal farmers, and today supplies quality tractors, combine harvesters and farm machinery to its customers alongside the farm. In 2006, it expanded its facilities to include a professional spray booth, grit blasting facility, steam cleaning facility, engineering lathe, milling machinery and container loading bay. This investment gave the company the ability to expand in the UK and increase export sales overseas.

The dealership will be stocking a comprehensive range of Kubota tractors, including those in the M-series and L series as well as RTVs and parts. The team have had specific product training over the last few months at Kubota’s UK onsite training facility and will also be able to offer a dedicated aftercare service to their customers.

Rob Howard, service manager at Howard & Sons said, “With Kubota machinery as part of our offering, we will now be able to provide our customers with the latest range of machinery to use on their own farms. We’re excited to be partnering with Kubota to enhance our business in 2019 and beyond and look forward to working with them going forward.”

Rob Edwards, business development manager, Agriculture, Kubota UK, commented, “Howard & Sons is a business which is committed to serving the agricultural industry, using the team’s decades of experience and a wealth of industry knowledge. Here at Kubota, we’re extremely proud of this addition to our dealer portfolio and plan to help develop what is already a thriving business as part of our continued investment in our dealer network. We look forward to working with the team for many years to come.”
