Cub Cadet utility vehicles (UTVs) are manufactured by Yanmar, a Japanese multinational corporation specializing in diesel engines, heavy equipment, and agricultural machinery. Yanmar acquired Cub Cadet’s parent company, MTD Products, in 2021. This acquisition brought Cub Cadet, a well-established brand known for lawn and garden equipment, under the Yanmar umbrella, further diversifying Yanmar’s product portfolio.
This manufacturing partnership leverages Yanmar’s engineering expertise and global resources with Cub Cadet’s brand recognition and distribution network. The result is a synergy that allows for the development and production of high-quality UTVs designed for both personal and commercial use. The collaboration also strengthens both brands’ positions in the expanding utility vehicle market. This represents a significant development in the history of both companies, opening new avenues for innovation and market reach.
