COMPARISON: Oranges and Oranges

( Looked at the Kioti website, it basically stinks, they dont even have a photo of the tractor in full dress that you can see and point to all the features. )
You're right Danny, it leaves a lot to be desired. However, they are working on trying to improve it. Over the last couple of months a lot of corrections have been made, and there are plans to improve the site and add some more user friendly features as well as some better informational aspects.
One of the things that really drives me nuts is that if you click on a picture at the bottom of a tractor model's page it opens a new window and returns the original one back to the top. If you want to see more of the pictures you have to either click the more pictures link or scroll back down. I addressed that one with them over 4 months ago, and it's still a problem. However, the internet lady called me Friday, left a message to call her about the website but I wasn't able to get back with her. Monday I'll find out what they have in mind. I'm hoping they're going to add some really good features. John

Wonder when they will be getting more pics of the CK25 & 30 up. They have been "coming soon" for quite a while now! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I hear ya. That makes me want to rip my hair out! I hate it when it goes back up to the top of the page. I don't mind the new windows opening up, but keep the page where it was! /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Actually thingy, the welding posts I did find interesting and informative. As for the "hard to beat" tractor posts, well, they kinda match your profile.

Hey, funny picture ~ squishy for sure. Looks like the vehicle has one of those "lighter alloy" frames. Maybe people with light tractors think they can float?

I received an e-mail today from their internet lady who says they will be doing the corrections I sent, including coming soon, soon! LOL That's just what she said!
I'm sending them some of my shots to give them an idea of different shots they can use. I'm sure they can get their cameraman to take some really good ones and some aerials liek on little tractor's site. Little Tractor's CK30 Pic
Thanks to Shoppintractors for telling me about this one.
Anyway, the website is due for an overhaul, and it will take some time, but ideas are welcome. Just PM me if there's something you want to see. They have, so far, used a lot of my suggestions and corrections, it just always takes a while because the lady has many more jobs she has to do. John

Personally I don't know what you guys are complaining about. I think Kioti's website is pretty good.

Now if you want to see a really crappy website, go to EITHER of the sites that CNH uses to promote their tractors. The New Holland site gives about 3/10th of the information needed. The Case site gives another 2/5 of the information needed. Both could use significantly more specs and more pictures. Both are selling (at least in the CUT classes) nearly identical tractors with identical capabilities, and getting any reasonable amount of information requires visiting BOTH sites and cross comparing the data. What a pain!

Little rotates the pictures fairly often and the aerial view of the CK30 has been replaced by the formidable CK25 tractor-loader-backhoe combination.
