Thank you KIOTI!!!!

PA hayseed · Nov 4, 2008

Came home today and what do I see? A box from Kioti on my steps. Now I wasn't expecting anything from them, and I hadn't ordered anything. So I take the package inside and open it up. I see a hat (kioti) and remember that I submitted a testimonial to their website. Then I look at the letter, and it says (I'm shortening it here) congrats, you have been selected for the testimonial of the month. It turns out that these very fine people gave me a free hat, a tractor collectible, and a $100.00 gift card. Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but I figured it would be a $100.00 gift card for their equipment or accessories. NO SIR! It was a straight $100.00, spendable anywhere.

Not to say the least, they sent me a letter that said "thank you so much for purchasing a KIOTI Tractor and deciding to run ahead of the pack!".

Well let me tell you something Kioti: Thank you so very much for a fine tractor, a good salesman (Jake Weldon), and the gifts. Most likely, I will be doing business with Jake soon, and your money will be coming back to you when I buy my next attachment.

For the people here, go to Kioti's website KIOTI - run ahead of the pack! and write your own testimonial. I thought I might get a hat if I was lucky. I love hats. I'm starting to love tractor attachments too. I hope the website link works on this site. If nothing else, Wallace promotes their product here alot.

Here is the pic of the stuff, just in case some doubting Thomas thinks I am attempting to BS the pack.

I guess you really are lucky, because I have written several testimonials and never recievied a response that they got it---let alone sent me any gifts.
Congratulations. Perhaps you could share just how you did it

Enjoy your gifts. C-YA RL

Fact is, I can't remember what I wrote. I know I was honest, and referenced TBN. I also told them I was listing the things I had done with my tractor on this site. I think, but am not sure, that I explained to them that purchasing a foreign made tractor was a VERY big decision for me. My family was, and still is for the most part, a big made in the USA and pro union. If my grandfather was still alive, he might have had some issues. He was a GM retiree, union guy, back when they had unions busters and he has the scars to prove it.

Anyway, the fact remains, that the DK45SE HST is a tough little tractor. You should have seen the rocks it moved today. One particular one made it groan a little.

Do you have to throw your grandfather under the tractor? Maybe sombody else's grandfather has some matching scars... Maybe that's why we buy tractors now from Korea... Unions destroyed most of our manufacturing base. But we shouldn't blame our grandfathers.

All I want for Christmas is a Kioti Hat and key chain. For anyone out there listening who might own a dealership or something of the sort, many many people would see me in my hat, with my keychain hanging out my pocket.
