Rumor ?

northcreek2624 · 10-18-2002, 02:08 AM

Don't want to perpetuate a rumor but, I just read (another forum)that someone was saying that he heard that Kioti was pulling out of the US.He also said that he did not know where he heard it ??
If anyone has heard this let us know but,it sounds like the big boys might be taking "pot-shots"again.........Mike

I also read that Mike.
But I find it hard to believe since Kioti just getting to the point where they are seeing a large sales growth.

Why would they pull out of the USA. Here in Australia they are going great guns and we have a population of only 20 million, i am sure with your population they would only need such a small pecentage of the market to stay viable.
think it's bullshit.

Pardon me whilst I throw-up. [img]/w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif[/img] [img]/w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif[/img] [img]/w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif[/img]
KIOTI has battled this kind of stuff from day one. From the you can't get parts, to the it's a Korean Kubota, to HA HA they're going out of business. This is in NO WAY shape or form true. Let's just think about it....KIOTI has grown tremendously ever since they went dealer direct, sales are up large amounts, reputable dealers are being added all the time, etc, etc. KIOTI ain't goin no-where but UP. New models will be out late fall-early spring. More OEM's are realizing that the KIOTI engine is a darn good powerplant and are picking it up for use in there own machines.
Alot of these rumors get started by "other brand" dealers or just KIOTI haters.

If they weren't grindin' on the old rumor mill, that would mean we're not a threat soooooo,KIOTI must be makin' someone nervous[img]/w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif[/img] [img]/w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif[/img] [img]/w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif[/img] [img]/w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif[/img]

KO,Sounds like you read my post before you took your nap but, on the serious side I totally agree with you.
I have a feeling the big three are as they say "Whistling by the graveyard".........Mike

Kiohio · 10-18-2002, 07:19 PM

Nap what's a nap?? I've heard of them but never really ever experienced one. I guess they're nice [img]/w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif[/img]. Sorry about sounding harsh, I do get a little wound up when people talk about my tractors. A little like someone talkin' bad about your wife or your huntin' dog or dare I say......truck.

Truth is one thing.............

A Kubota joke. The truth is I talked to their USA president last week at the Sunbelt show and they are expanding their product lines.

DONOTDELETE · 10-20-2002, 08:28 PM

I was just talking to my dealer, by the way a Top bloke. He has just got back from a visit to the Daedong factory in Korea, he was very impressed.
He told me that in the 18mths daedong has been importing to Australia they have sold about 350 tractors not a bad effort for a small country.
