Yanmar America, a supplier of compact utility tractors, compact construction equipment and diesel engines, and MTD, the holding company of the Cub Cadet brand, are modifying their business partnership.
Since 2006, Yanmar and MTD have been jointly marketing Yanmar’s compact utility tractors under the Cub Cadet Yanmar brand. Effective Thursday, Yanmar will begin distributing its compact utility tractors directly to dealers.
The Cub Cadet Yanmar branded tractor models currently in the market will continue to be manufactured by Yanmar but will display only the Yanmar brand. Yanmar also will take over product support within the current distribution channel.
All Yanmar tractors will continue to be assembled at its United States headquarters in Georgia. The facility will handle all duties related to the marketing, sales, service and support of its compact tractor business.
