Kubota UK's Construction Equipment Division has also achieved a major milestone with sales of their market leading mini excavators in Britain now having topped 30,000; becoming the first manufacturer to do so.

Visitors to the Young Plant stand will have the opportunity not only to see, but also have a chance to win the 30,000^th Kubota machine - a class-leading KX61-3 2.5 tonne model. This special 30,000^th Kubota machine is being offered as the prize in a draw, with proceeds in aid of the Lighthouse Club Benevolent Fund (The Construction Industry Charity).

Draw tickets will be available at the Young Plant stand and on Kubota stands at other events around the country throughout the year, as well as from Kubota Construction Equipment Dealers, with the draw to take place and lucky prize winner to be announced at the Lighthouse Club Annual Dinner, to be held at the Grosvenor House Hotel, London, on Monday 10^th November 2008.

Kubota is the European and world leader in mini excavators and offers the widest range of machines available from a single manufacturer.
