Dealer FYI: New Kioti Dealer in MI.

[Greg - Kioti CK20 TLB]

Just an update about Aeschliman's...

I had them perform the 50-hour service on my tractor. They did a thorough job and performed every service listed in the service manual. Tightened bolts, checked the battery, adjusted clutch and brake linkages, etc. The price seems in line with what I read from other TBN'ers. In fact, because I was the first customer for CK20 maintenance, they called Kioti and other dealers to check what the going rate was for the 50-hour service.

Also, I received the loader letter the day before I was taking the tractor in for service. They rush ordered the parts and were able to install the loader kit on the same visit. Saved me time and $$$ by avoiding a separate trip for the loader repair.

Overall, the people have been good to work with and they seem very interested in having the Kioti brand. Even though I didn't buy the tractor from them they seemed happy to perform service and warranty work for me.

I was worried when Hodges dropped the Kioti line (or got dropped by Kioti which is probably more likely! ).

So if you're in SE Michigan and your looking for a dealer, you should check them out.

This is a paid endorsement for Aesch...just kidding!

Today I stopped at the local Sams Club in Wixom, MI. They had a Koiti on display with a sign offering discount at Aeschliman's. May be a good way to drum up some business.

Interesting idea. did they have a tractor on display? was it inside or in the parking lot? (wheels turning as I am a dealer....)

The had a tractor on display in the front area where shopping carts are stored. Tractor and sign were viewable from outside. Did not get tractor model. Wife had other things for me to look at.

Just an fyi for mid Michigan folks. I purchased my CK25 from Hafer Hardware(a real old fashioned hardware store) in Mt. Pleasant and have had nothing but good service before and after the sale. I have done business with these folks for years and reccomend them highly.

Now, the Sam's Club in Ypsilanti, MI has a shiney new CK30, from Aeschliman's, on display in the front entrance Lobby. Nice display in a high traffic location.

Just stopped by Aeschliman's today, you get a sams club discount if your a member! Price for a CK20 Hydro 11800.00 + tax that includes a loader!

That's a good price! Beats the price I got from a former Michigan dealer by $2700! Thanks for clarifying the service question. I saw the 2 tractors and wondered if they were some one time sales items that Aeschliman's bought at auction. Glad to see that Kioti is growing the number of dealerships.

Hmmm, I also saw the Kioti at Sam's. I have the itch again! I was disappointed when the dealer right near me in Manchester closed shortly after I went and tested the Kiotis, so I stopped looking at that time.
