You are from Branson MO and you don't own a Branson? Shame on you. I was looking at all the tractors before I bought the Branson and Kioti was at the top of my list. The kioti and branson were 1000lb heavier than anyone else. If I had the money I would have bought one. I have a Kioti dealer just 45 min down the road. Kubota and deere same story. I do have a Branson dealer 1 hour from my place but he did not mention the free FEL deal that Bonneys Ag offered. I got a 47 HP 4520R for $21,450.00. The local Branson dealer here wanted $21,900 for his 40 HP tractor. I have a gut feeling that no other dealer would have offered to swap out my tractor for another. Most dealers would have just warrantied it. With the low hours of it had on it( 6HRS) I think being the hard to get tier 3 , he will have no trouble selling it.I am glad to hear you did not get just good service, you got above and beyond the call service. WOW, a new tractor, I don't think many dealers would have taken care of you like that, regardless of brand. I don't know what happened to your first tractor, but I have sure dug a lot of dirt with a FEL on the various tractors I have owned, including digging down a complete hillside to make a burm for shooting. I haven't broken anything yet. Sure tractors are not bulldozers, but if you use common sense, you can do a lot of dirt work with them. Again, a more than happy ending.:thumbsup: Oh, an as a Kioti owner I won't "hate" on your Branson. I have owned several brands, including 2 Kubota's before this Kioti.![]()
