Thanks. I wish on the lottery. That said, it hasn’t cost as much as you’d think since I traded in so much stuff. Two tractors, a trailer, bunch of implements and a ranger all traded. To be honest, I was quite surprised at the trade values received. I think the dealer needed to move some inventory to get ready for early spring orders with vendors. Good timing and worked out well for me. One other think I learned with Kioti as opposed to the Deere dealers is that this level of purchase made me a very big fish in the Kioti pond, but the same activity with the Deere dealers around me would have cost about 25% more and would barely even register on the radar as compared to their large farm clients that are buying $250k to $1M machines. Worth a think because Kioti is going above and beyond to keep me happy and I had trouble getting a call back at Deere. Just my opinion and your experience may vary of course.
I have a couple of more things that I've yet to install as well as a couple on my wish list. I have a Speeco quick hitch (bushingless model) to install, a nice set of bolt on hooks combo deals with hooks for outside bucket and clevis mounts for inside, and a skid steer plate awaiting the mounting of my Sabre Samurai bracket. Need to get some hoses made up for that as well.
I’m hopeful to have acquired mostly quality items that can serve well over the next 20 years of maintaining the property.
