Compact Equipment buyers guide

[Gittyup]

I got my CE magazine yesterday with the buyer's guide in it. Kioti is all over this magazine, which is great! However, the prices listed in the guide for Kiotis are crazy high, much higher than the other competitors listed. A casual buyer that might not necessarily do their homework might quickly dismiss Kioti as too expensive.

HOLY kwap.

Found the difference. The fine print says with loader and ag tires for the Kioti only. They are assuming you are paying for both on the Kioti and none of the other tractors have that fine print. That would explain why the Bobcat is cheaper for the same tractor.

Comparing price of a tractor with loader and a tractor without is silly. They should have been equally equiped.

Ah. Read that fine print but somehow missed it. Still, you are right. They should be comparing apples to apples. Again, the casual reader might miss the fine print.

Hi All,
If you read a little closer it also says that "KIOTI DOES NOT GIVE MSRP".
These prices are quite high even for full list price of the tractor and loader!
Whoever published this guide is not giving accurate info at all! I would question where they get their info.
Read everything closely.
