Kubota to showcase machines for all maintenance tasks at GroundsFest

A stop by stand OSA810 will be a must for visitors to this years GroundsFest, with Kubota and Baroness joining forces to showcase one of the industry’s most comprehensive equipment line-ups. While many stands will focus on a single equipment category, Kubota’s attendance will highlight the depth and versatility of their range, designed to support grounds professionals, landscapers, contractors and local authorities across multiple environments and maintenance operations.

Attendees will have the opportunity to get up close with the latest innovations in the ride-on and zero-turn mower market, which will proudly sit alongside the very best in compact tractors, utility vehicles and mini excavators.

Stand highlights will include the latest addition to the FC cut and collect range, the FC4-441. With flail and rotary cutting deck options together with a number of optional attachments, the FC4-441 is an adaptable addition to any machinery shed – as comfortable and capable cutting large areas such as parks and sports fields as it is conducting end of season rough or wildflower maintenance.

The FC4 will be one of several mowers on display, with the G261HD and a number of models from the significantly extended zero-turn collection also making their way to Stoneleigh Park this September.

No Kubota stand would be complete without an array of compact tractors and GroundsFest 2026 will be no different, with models from the L, LX and B-Series all on show. Also demonstrating that Kubota reliability and performance is accessible in an entry-level package, the EK1-261 HST will be making an appearance. Easy to operate and built with capability in mind, the EK1-261 HST delivers practical productivity, perfectly suited to landowners and grassroots sports facilities.

Supporting the display will be representatives from Kubota dealers George Browns, Hunts Engineering, Lister Wilder and Henton & Chattell, who will be on hand throughout the event to offer expert advice and provide practical support to visitors looking for the right equipment for their business.
