Our Story
About Motor City Kubota
Part of Carleton Equipment Company, Kubota of Motor City is metro Detroit's destination for Kubota tractors, mowers, utility vehicles, and construction equipment — backed by a team that knows the machines and the people who run them.
Who We Are
Built on Kubota, rooted in Michigan
We're a family-owned, Michigan-based dealership built on a simple idea: sell equipment that works as hard as our customers, and stand behind it long after the sale.
From homeowners taming an acreage to contractors on a deadline, we help folks across metro Detroit find the right Kubota for the job — then keep it running with genuine parts and factory-certified service at two convenient locations.
Today we're proud to be the authority for Kubota in Detroit, and prouder still of the relationships we've built one handshake at a time.
