Kioti has teamed up with Woods

[MinnesotaEric]

Of course it's cheaper for Kioti, that's why they are doing it. No question about that. And it increases Woods market share, which increases their profit to sell the same piece under two names. No question about that.

Where does it benefit the consumer?

Woods OEMs at least for Massey and Yanmar attachments in similar deals to Kioti's new partnership.

That said, Woods employs about 1200 people, makes a shedload of good attachments, and has been on a long growth path having just last month month purchased TASCO.

Hey, you started this discussion and then left. Where you been?????

Sounds like Woods has a plan. Likely selling their product to those tractor companies at a discount to increase their production numbers and allowing rebadging to put icing on the cake.

When I purchased my Kioti, my dealer didn't have any CAT2 attachments. It would have been nice to have tough, compatible attachments ready to go rather than my hunting around to four different dealers throughout MN to purchase my attachments (along with EA who was over the internet).

Yep. I totally get that.

Please don't pounce on me for this,,,,, I think that problem is often caused by Kioti dealerships being small. They are struggling to get a foothold and have all their resources tied up in tractor support inventory and nothing left for attachment inventory. Maybe this relationship will help that?? Will Kioti financially support this new line of inventory as they would if it were a Kioti tractor?

Kioti dealer here is bigger than Kubota. Heck the Mahindra dealer is almost as big as the closer Deere dealer.

I think we'll see a lot more of that.

Our snow turned to drizzle. Roads are very, very slick. Must have a high pressure system passing overhead. Temp is 21F degrees. Hope this don't last long.....
