The business isn’t even officially open and tractors are already flying off the lot at Warren County Kubota, located at the old Dodge dealership on New Smithville Highway.

McMinnville resident and Kubota manager Alan Bryant is excited about offering a quality product and then backing up that product with a full parts and service department.

‘You sell a product through the support and service you offer after the sale,” said Alan. ‘This isn’t Wal-Mart where if it breaks you just throw it away. If something goes wrong, you want it fixed and we’ll do whatever it takes. We even offer free pickup and delivery for people who don’t have trailers or a way to get their tractors into town.”

The county’s previous Kubota dealer, located in Irving College, was hardly on the beaten path. By obtaining this property in the heart of the city’s retail district, Alan says Kubota is dedicated to making its presence known in the community. He also said he’s pleased to see a new business locate at the old Dodge dealership.

‘It looks bad seeing empty buildings around town,” said Alan. ‘I’d driven by this place several times and looked over and wondered what was going to go there. I never knew I’d be a part of it.”

Alan has been friends with owner John Robertson for some time and the two worked out a deal for him to manage this store. There are already three Warren County residents on staff and Alan said that number could approach 10 employees in a year.

The dealership will gradually be building inventory over the next 60 days until the entire lot is full. ‘What we have now is just a touch of what we will have,” said Alan.

While tractors are for sale now, parts and service won’t be available until the official opening date of Jan. 9. The phone number is 474-1201.
