Kubota launches WorkSmart Autosteer to bring precision guidance to compact and utility equipment. Kubota has launched WorkSmart Autosteer at Farm Progress Show 2026, extending precision guidance into equipment categories traditionally less served by advanced farming technology. Starting at approximately $6,000, the system is designed for selected compact and utility tractors, mowers and RTVs and can be installed on both new and used Kubota equipment. The standard configuration provides subscription-free 6-8 inch pass-to-pass accuracy, while a premium correction option can deliver approximately 1-inch accuracy. Installation, warranty, service and financing are supported through Kubota's dealer network. The strategic significance goes beyond another autosteer product. While much of the industry's technology race has focused on high-horsepower tractors, large row-crop farms and increasingly autonomous machines, Kubota is approaching precision agriculture from the opposite direction: lowering the economic and equipment threshold for adoption. Retrofit compatibility means farmers can add guidance without replacing otherwise productive machinery, potentially extending precision technology into hay and forage, livestock, specialty crops and smaller farming operations where expensive high-end systems have traditionally been harder to justify. WorkSmart Autosteer also reinforces a broader trend visible at Farm Progress Show 2026: precision technology is increasingly developing along two parallel paths. At the upper end, AI, task automation and autonomy continue to advance; across the broader installed base, affordability, retrofit and practical ROI are becoming equally important. For Kubota, combining relatively accessible technology with its existing equipment population, dealer network and aftermarket support could create a stronger technology relationship with customers throughout the machine lifecycle - not only when they purchase their next tractor. Bottom line. Kubota is not trying to win the high-end autonomy race with WorkSmart Autosteer. It is targeting a potentially much broader opportunity: democratizing precision agriculture by making practical automation accessible to smaller machines and existing equipment. If successful, the next wave of precision farming adoption may come not only from smarter new tractors, but from making the machines already in the field significantly smarter.
Agreement reached for new arena, mixed-use development in Osaka. Agricultural machinery and heavy equipment manufacturer Kubota Corporation has linked up with real estate developer Mitsui Fudosan and the real estate arm of Kansai Electric Power Company for a project which aims to transform its former headquarters in Osaka into a mixed-use development anchored by a 12,500-capacity arena. Kubota has relocated from the Naniwa-ku ward of the Japanese city leaving behind a site of approximately 24,000m[2] that is now primed for redevelopment. Following a public bidding process that was initiated in October, the three parties have now joined forces to conclude a basic agreement on the proposed project. With the signing of this agreement, Mitsui Fudosan and Kansai Electric Power Real Estate Development, the developers, will accelerate their consideration of a mixed-use development including a hotel and commercial facilities centred around a multi-purpose arena, with the aim of opening the facility in 2032 or later. The goal is to make this project a hub that contributes to the revitalisation of urban activities and to create new vibrancy throughout the Osaka Namba area. The project centres around an arena with a capacity of approximately 12,500 people, designed for multi-purpose use including sports and music events. It also includes a hotel to accommodate the accommodation needs of arena attendees and the growing inbound tourism market, as well as commercial facilities to bring daily vibrancy to the area, even on days when there are no events. Mitsui Fudosan's sports and entertainment focus The new mixed-use district is intended to be called Kubota Field, with the arena granted the working title of Kubota LaLa arena. In its long-term management plan '& Innovation 2030', Mitsui Fudosan has set out "development into new asset classes" as one of its business strategies, aiming to create cities that maximise the value of real-world experiences by leveraging the power of sports and entertainment. Within this context, the group operates venues of diverse sizes across multiple areas, including the Tokyo Dome, New Chichibunomiya Rugby Stadium and the multi-purpose arenas LaLa arena Tokyo-Bay and Nagoya Arena. It said in a statement: "The Osaka-Namba area, where this project is located, boasts excellent transportation access and has long been a hub for diverse entertainment, attracting many visitors from both within Japan and internationally. "Amidst a shortage of arenas capable of hosting sporting events and music concerts in the Kansai region, the creation of a multi-purpose arena with a capacity of approximately 12,500 people in the vibrant Osaka-Namba area will create a space where people can gather, become enthusiastic, and interact, generating unforgettable experiences and a new level of vibrancy. "Leveraging our expertise in both hardware and software, as well as the operational know-how of our group company, Tokyo Dome Corporation, we will expand the possibilities for attracting and managing events, thereby contributing to the further revitalisation of the entire sports and entertainment industry. "Furthermore, in this project, we will take into account Kubota's long-standing commitment to the Osaka Namba area and realise urban development that will bring new vibrancy to the region." Rival project The emergence of the Kubota LaLa arena and Kubota Field project comes with another significant arena development also in the works for Osaka. In May 2021, Hirofumi Yoshimura, the Governor of Osaka Prefecture, announced that the consortium comprised of Mitsubishi Corporation Urban Development (MCUD), Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG), and Kanden Realty & Development had been selected to develop and operate a new arena within the Osaka Expo Memorial Park. The project is slated to break ground in 2027 and is expected to open in 2029/30. The 18,000-seat Osaka Arena aims to play host to over 145 events and welcome 1.6 million visitors per year. It will be the centrepiece of a wider project that involves the development of an entertainment district, which will include hotels, commercial and retail space, and a residential neighbourhood.
McWane Ductile, with operations in Coshocton, Ohio, is partnering with Kubota to bring earthquake-resistant pipe technology to the US market. The company will initially source and stock 6-, 8- and 12-inch Hazard Resilient Ductile Iron Pipe (HRDIP) from Kubota in Utah, offering it under the co-brand McWane Ductile's HRDIP with Kubota Tech. The technology, widely deployed throughout Japan with more than 41,000 miles installed, uses a specialized restrained joint design allowing pipelines to flex whilst maintaining structural integrity. This helps reduce risks of joint separation and service interruptions during seismic activity and ground movement. The partnership aims to help US utilities modernize aging infrastructure and build more resilient water systems.

Several years of high inflation and low commodity prices, coupled with volatile production costs, are continuing to squeeze farmers financially. These forces are projected to hit farmers with $32 billion in losses for the major row crops in 2027 after a projected loss of $31 billion in 2026. Fruit, vegetable, nut and other specialty crop farmers faced billions of dollars in losses in 2025, with difficult market conditions continuing throughout 2026. American Farm Bureau Federation economists analyzed the losses felt across the farm economy in the latest Farm Bureau Intel.
