Hello Folks,
New member, just joined! I am inches away from buying my first tractor. I have been looking through the posts at this site for quite a few months now as part of my research.
I have my mind set on a kioti tractor, but still have questions and would really value this communities opinion. I will try and hold all my questions as I could go on forever. Maybe discussion will lead to more answers.
I am home owner with about 3 acres. I am looking to do mostly 3 point mowing, snow removal, tilling and FEL\Forks work. The ck20 looks great for what I want to do.
Now for my dilema... I was just about to buy the CK20HST from my local dealer, when my phone rings from a dealer that is about 3 hours away. They have a left over CK27HST that they want to move. They are offering this at basically the same price that I can get the CK20 for. This is significantly more tractor for the same money. If i were going with the ck27 locally, it would also be a significant amount more money.
I think the decision is obvious to get the bigger tractor (even though it is not needed). This leads to my first question. How much would it take to get you to stray away from your local dealer? I would rather deal with my local dealer but we are talking about a difference of roughly $4500 dollars. I can't just brush off that amount and forget about it. What would everyone else do? How much value is there in buying locally. Should I be worried about showing up at the local dealer for service if I buy somewhere else? My thoughts are, I should have every right to shop around. Should I be able to get any warranty claims done locally? Anybody else been in this situation?
Also... Any reason I should stay away from the ck27?
Any advice would be appreciated!
Cheers
