Linder expands its Kubota dealer network with the purchase of Southern Tractor & Outdoors

Linder Industrial Machinery Company has acquired Southern Tractor & Outdoors. The three branches in southwest Georgia — Leesburg, Moultrie and Valdosta — will be rebranded as Linder Turf & Tractor branches, joining Linder’s growing network of Kubota dealerships across the Southeast.

Southern Tractor & Outdoors’ three locations in southwest Georgia will be rebranded as Linder Turf & Tractor branches.

“We are fortunate to have developed a close relationship with the owners of Southern Tractor & Outdoors,” said John Coughlin, President and CEO of Linder. “This has been a well-run company for many years; we are excited to offer our additional product lines to the people of southwest Georgia.”

Mike Horne, an owner of Southern Tractor & Outdoors, commented, “We are eager for this opportunity with Linder. Everyone we’ve worked with at the company has been exceptional; this is a great move for the people in our community.”

The Linder Turf & Tractor locations in Georgia will add a range of BOMAG machines and Deutz-Fahr tractors to a lineup that already features a large selection of Kubota and Land Pride equipment.

Linder Turf & Tractor, an elite Kubota dealer, now has seven locations:

• Bradenton, Florida

• Leesburg, Georgia

• Moultrie, Georgia

• Valdosta, Georgia

• Fayetteville, North Carolina
