The issue with Kukje in the US isn't if they're a good tractor, it's if it's a supported product or not. They've been marketing here for 13 years and have collapsed one brand already (Montana). TYM and Kukje are both South Korean companies, so the product lines aren't entirely different from the import/quality/value perspective, but one has done a better job of gaining market presence than the other in roughly the exact same length of time in our market. Branson, for whatever reason doesn't look to be taking flight. TYM isn't doing a bang up job either, but they've managed to attract vendors like Cabela's to partner with, and I don't think Cabela's would've chosen a product line they felt would cause them adverse exposure putting their name on it. Say what you will about them entering the tractor biz, but they've got a history of picking some pretty good lines to attach their brand to.
Dollar for dollar, I got my Deere for less money than the next size down in a Branson. That point about value just doesn't hold water.
