OUR SINCERE APOLOGIES

[Samandothers]

I just read this entire thread and am saddened. I don't own a Kioti but am saddened because of the grief this has caused a good person and his family. Like many others on this board that I have not met there are some folks you just have a good feeling about. Rick is one of those. Best of luck with your other lines and business. It is Kioti's loss.

As long as you are still in Business, the people will come out. After all, the dealer can make or break a product, and I am sure you will make many more people happy customers.

Is all your Kioti inventory bieng taken back by Kioti?

How has businees been?? Picking up yet??

Wow, not sure what else to say.

I've got a feeling this will be felt throughout Kioti.

When a dealer with the presence of Wallace bows out it shakes all of our confidence in our machines. At least mine.

A local distribution center / dealer for Dixie Chopper has just announced they will be a Kioti dealer as well.

Is Kioti changing the "geography" of their dealerships?

With the nice weather we have had business is great, things are moving as if there was no recession...
Lawn and garden sales are crazy right now.
Compacts sale are still a little off but we are averaging 2 compacts a week and we are quoting out about 10-12 deals a week with most waiting on tax returns..
To tell ya the truth trailers sale are about the best I have ever seen them!

Our Kioti inventory was taken back this week, we kept a large percentage of our parts...remember what I told you guys, We will continue to help in any way we can!!

There is no doubt that Wallace was a great asset to Kioti and their customers. If the reason for his termination was a on going financial problem with Kioti and his tractor inventory then Kioti can not be faulted for protecting their investment ?? Just a thought??

Well this changes things for me. I was really considering a Kioti because of the support I knew I could get from the Wallace clan.

Only speculation here, but maybe Kioti has decided to go with Kioti exclusive dealers only and the Wallace's were not going to stop selling the other brands? Do any of you guys have other Kioti dealers that sell multiple makes of tractors? Remember what GM did.

If we only knew, I'm sure that many questions would be answered. Maybe in the future. :confused2:

Chris, are you adding or replacing? Mahindra and Massey are mighty fine machines also. :thumbsup:

Up here in Canada my local Kioti dealership also carries Bobcat (same tractor different paint) and Husquvarna (biggest tractor a lawn tractor) so I don't doubt they won't allow want competing brands to their product.

From what I hear and have seen on TBN the Wallace's run a super dealership and they're customer service is impecable. They're the type of dealership that can power through a recession and Kioti will hurt by not having them as a dealer.
