Mrs. Nadene and Mr. Bob Desserich, Cheyenne Kubota, USA - Luyckx

“KCC provides fast and convenient payment
alternatives in the safest, most practical, and
most economical manner possible to customers
in the process of purchasing Kubota equipment.”
Can you please tell us about your first experience with Kubota Tractors?
Sutton: I grew up on a dairy farm about a hundred miles north of Ft. Worth, Texas. Just as I was graduating
from high school in 1975, the first of the “compact orange tractors” began to appear. Unfortunately, it
was at a time when the Japanese cars just entering the market inspired very little trust. As a result,
farmers initially considered those tractors in the same light. This is, however, until they bought a
Kubota tractor and found that it could be depended upon to get the job done reliably. From that time on,
those “compact orange tractors” became more-and-more popular.
What brought you to KCC?
Sutton: It was a gradual process. I started out working in a bank in the collections department until being
admitted into the loan officer training program. After being promoted to loan officer I began making
primarily student loans, consumer loans, and auto, boat, recreational, airplane, and equipment loans.
Basically, I worked with any type of product that involved a dealership. Anyway, I was with that bank
for seventeen years after which I worked at a financial firm for five years followed by employment for
another five years at another financial firm. I then had the good fortune to be contacted by Kubota. As a
result, I started working for KCC in June of 2007 as Vice-President and Chief Operating Officer. Then,
effective the 1st of October 2010, I was appointed President.
