Kubota UK, the market-leading supplier of high performance compact construction machinery, will be celebrating its landmark 50,000th excavator sale at this year\u2019s Hillhead Show.<\/p>\n

To mark the significant achievement the company will be exhibiting its special edition 50K \u2018Gold Digger\u2019 (Stand W3), a gold painted Kubota KX-71 mini excavator. The machine will be placed on stand next to an original Kubota KH10, the very first mini excavator sold in the UK and Irish market, which was launched by the company back in 1979.<\/p>\n
