Linder Industrial Machinery expanded its equipment dealership network by purchasing Cumberland Tractor in Fayetteville, N.C.

"We look forward to growing the great reputation and contributions that Cumberland Tractor has made to this community over the past 65 years," says John Coughlin, president and CEO of Linder.

Linder will continue offering Kubota construction and agricultural machines at the 1530 Middle River Loop location, along with the full line of Komatsu and BOMAG heavy equipment and many complimentary products and attachments. Cumberland Tractor owners Jack and Charles Horne were very excited about Linder's products combined with the Kubota line-up.

"I have had a long relationship with Linder and even a longer one with Komatsu. The combination of all this top-quality equipment under one roof has been my dream for many years," Jack Horne said.

Linder now has 20 locations in the Carolinas and Florida. Four of these branches now represent Kubota equipment under the name "Linder Turf & Tractor." Fayetteville joins Greenville, North Carolina, a new location in Greensboro, N.C., and a branch in Bradenton, Fla., all flying the Kubota flag.

"Our customers have always benefited from our dealer network," said Coughlin. "We are the number one Komatsu dealership in the United States and now have four Kubota stores; this gives us advantages over smaller dealers. We can offer the people of Fayetteville a greater variety of equipment and get machines faster than others."

Linder employs more than 600 people in three states; 2023 marks its 70th year in operation; the company has been in the Carolinas since purchasing Mitchell Distributing Company in 2003.
