Help this Ozzie get a real \"KIOTI\" pleeease!

Hi guys, Well, after all the help, advice & encouragement that I have recieved over the last couple of weeks preceeding the purchase & ensuing delivery of my new DK55 (tomorrow!), & after refering to the DK55 as a KIOTI all this time, it just doesn't seem right that tomorrow I will be taking delivery of my "DAEDONG"!!!!! Sounds like a bit of a "clanger" after "KIOTI" rolling off the toungue so easily for the last 2 weeks.
Think about it guys, what would you rather on the side of your machine?
I've decided that I really want a KIOTI so that I will really feel a part of the family, in machine and by family name too!
I've put together an e-mail to send off to KIOTI in the U.S. but I wanted some feedback before I hit the send button and maybe some ideas to help me make it happen!

Anyway see what you think & let me know.

Best regards,
The Ozzie orphan, Buzz.

Hello my name is Xxxxx Xxxxxx & I live in the South West of Western Australia, so "G'day from Down Under".

I'm sure that you will find this a most unusual if not one-off request.
No doubt you all may get a good giggle out of this e-mail too!

Tomorrow Friday April 21, 2005 I will be taking delivery of my new DK55.
The community at TBN played a big part in my decision making process leading up to my purchase & I'am very grateful for their help & support.
My dilemma is this: “KIOTI” Tractors are marketed here in Australia as just plain "DAEDONG".
Now as great a name as this probably is in Korea I can fully understand why it was decided to market the tractors under the "KIOTI" label in the US.
I recon that maybe "DINGO" (the Aust equivalent of the American Coyote) could have been the way to go here in Australia, but I wasn't part of the process.

Anyway I was wondering…………
What is the possibility of getting hold of a set of US DK55 hood decals for the, left & right of mine so I can "Upgrade" my fine machine into a US “KIOTI”?

After all my correspondence with my new found US buddies on TBN about the "KIOTI", the “DAEDONG” label just doesn't have it I'm afraid.

Anyway if you could respond to this e-mail after you discern that this is not a prank, I would be very grateful to hear back from you.

Kind regards,
Xxxxx.

P.S. If I get the new “KIOTI” decals I’ll be very proud to send you some pics of the first “OZZIE KIOTI” (Hey that’s got quite a ring to it don’t you think?) as well as post them to on the TBN site.

Re: Help this Ozzie get a real \"KIOTI\" pleeease!

You know I have known several people from Austrailia and all were great people, so it is a pleasure to talk with you. I wanted to respond to your question about the Kioiti decals for your tractor. I think that Kioiti sounds much better too. I don't know if you want them to send your free decals or you wish to purchase them. I'm sure you can purchase the stickers for not that much money. I'm sure anyone here on TBN would be happy to help you with ordering these. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Hi Powhatan, thanks for the response.
I'm more than happy & willing to pay for the decals & postage & what ever it takes to get me a "KIOTI"!
Any help & support is greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,
Buzz.

P.S. Who are some of the other Ozzies that you know?
Are any of them West Ozzies?
Do any of them own KIOTIS (DAEDONGS)?

Buzz, I just copied your "letter" to someone at Kioti USA to see if they can help get you some decals. I'll let you know ASAP.
If you send the e-mail, please refer to Tractorbynet.com (TBN) rather than just TBN so there is no question in their minds at Daedong to what you refer.
I happen to like the name Daedong, because as my dealer said the first day I met him, that tractor is great, and it goes ALL DAE DONG!

Sounds like it was working at your end too well.

I've been thinking about the "KIOTI"-"DAEDONG" thing and come to think of it "DAEDONGJOHN" sort of rolls off the tounge fairly easily???? /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

But I still prefer the the sound of "KIOTIJOHN" /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Not long now!

Buzz.

Re: Help this Ozzie get a real \"KIOTI\" pleeease!

I would enjoy joining you guys in the names games, but being polite I should wait utill we know each other better,,, maybe the second date!

I am going to look at a DK55 and a TC45 today, I know not the same size, but that is the point in looking, the price is the same!!!

On the DK55 it comes with 2 rear remotes, is it easy to add a 3rd on the DK55 is is there an open spot in the fender slots for a handle?

What is the concensus of this esteame group for 3rd function hyd at the bucket for a grapple, elctro/hyd or run set of lines back to a rear remote? Does Kioti have kits or should you do it after market?

Thanks guys,
