Comparison who makes the best tractor for the money

[paulfun9]

Kioti literally uses same color and color scheme as Kubota. Their tractors come in near identical size classifications as Kubota. Heck even their name starts with a K! I don’t think anyone will disagree that this is obvious imitation (copying).

Kioti and Hyundai have been sued by Kubota and Toyota for intellectual and trade mark infringements multiple times.

Kubota has been a leader in small diesel engines, farm equipment, professional grounds care and construction equipment for years. There’s good reason why many OEMs use Kubota Diesels in their equipment.

I applaud Kioti for copying the best!! Lol!!

So why don’t you tell us about the “multiple times” part? Then explain why kubota actually had joint ventures with Kioti or more specifically thier parent company.

I built a dune buggy to sell not long ago. Asked my great granddaughter what color we should paint it and she said orange, does that mean I copied it and made it look like the guy over the hill who has an orang dune buggy? There are only so many coolers that stand out from a safety perspective and I would guess the orange paint has more to do with visibility than flattering kubota with a copy of thier color but would believe some executives kid chose it before I took to the notion hey are trying to fool buyers by copying the color!

So my blue truck (ford) is now a copy cat of my last blue Chevy? Get a life and quit trying to make yourself feel superior!

Getting a little off topic ...

The history between Kubota and Kioti is an interesting read

that ended with a lawsuit over infringement on the Kubota brand.

It seemed to be more nefarious than simply painting the tractor the same color for safety reasons.

Kubotas are also made in China of all places.... Production of tractors starting in China | News 212 | Kubota Global Site

You should read your own article. Those tractors are for the Chinese market, NOT America. Let's try to not mislead people.

Again you said multiple law suits?

Again no one has proven the color is a direct attemp at anything? You are simply assuming you know when you don’t really!

The lawsuit was mostly focused on hood design. Any decent attorney would say if they can get the law to agre with one of the things they stand a good chance of getting the others ( settle as it costs less and isn’t worth the risk) weather right or wrong and to date no has ever came out and told the public what the actual court record states as a position from the other side. So anything you assume is just that an assumption! It’s not fact that you can proudly post to try and make a point.

Go read the court records and statements from both sides then come back and argue!

I did?!?!

"...that ended with a lawsuit." The pronoun "a" is singular, as in one.

I think your anger is severely misplaced. This is my first time posting on this topic. I think you're confusing me with someone else.

I think you should calm down and read who is posting what a little more carefully before haranguing someone for merely posting a couple of links on the topic to provide some factual basis to the discussion.

Anger? There is yet an other assumption. No anger here actually if I had to pick a word to describe my feelings on the subject I would say I am amused at some of the replies!

But I might have confused your response with somone who replied before that I do apologies for!

You "may have", or "you did"?

Well as I was responding I couldn’t see who made the other post till finished so at the time wasn’t sure but apologized any way just in case figuring if you said so it might be so but wasn’t going to assume you were correct.
