Building engines getting the job done for 100 years

It has been 100 years since Kubota, one of the top manufacturers of water pipes in Japan, began producing its Agricultural Oil Engine Type A at the Funademachi Factory in 1922.

The Agricultural Oil Engine Type A was a power source for various types of agricultural work, such as threshing and pumping water.

It has been 100 years since that first engine.

Kubota has manufactured more than 30 million engines mounted on machines of various kinds, such as industrial machinery for opening up rough terrain for building roads and waterways, construction machinery for constructing buildings, and agricultural machinery for cultivating fields.

What is a Kubota Engine?

Kubota engines are general-use engines produced by the Kubota Group.

Kubota engines, which were born from casting and mechanical technology, were later installed in Kubota’s own agricultural and construction machinery, among similar devices, with the engines themselves ultimately being sold externally or offered via OEM, making Kubota a top manufacturer of general-use engines. Now, Kubota has a leading share of the global market for small industrial diesel engines.

Kubota Engine has continued to manufacture engines that conform to the environmental regulations of each region around the world, and enjoys high popularity among agricultural equipment manufacturers globally.
