OK, looks like this may be where the catnip is. Think I'll pull up a front row seat.....

Wallace, do you have any info on the full bobcat line? The only thing I've seen pictures of so far is small 20-30hp tractors. Did you see any large kioti's with white paint on them? Like maybe some cab models? I've been trying to find out if bobcat will offer the kioti tractor that kioti doesn't, a 45hp cab tractor with a hst trans. None of the local bobcat dealers seem to know much about their tractor line.

From what I understand Bobcat was not going to get the cab tractors...
Now I have no way to confirm this but only time will tell..
Kioti is working on a cab for the DK-SE series tractor with hopes of a release early next year.

Here is a SE rolling down the line

Hosted by Kioti and the shopping was only $600 extra!

Nice looking tractors there...how many did you order?

Ya thats what happens when you sell tractors for a liven, as a mattern in fact we have been saving for 2 months just to be able to have the $600.00

Great pictures Rick!! Thanks for posting....I would be like a kid in a candy store. It appears the tractors get personal attention instead of a bunch of robots, labor cost must still be within reason over there.

Those are some nice pictures! That last one with the partially assembled BobKioti reminded me of something I was told at an ag show earlier this year. I went with a friend and we came upon the Kioti display (ironically next to Kubota ), and the sales lady told me that when a Kioti goes down the assembly line the same worker goes along with it. I haven't really thought about since then, but is that really the case?

In that second pic, is that a CK20 with CK25/30/35 size wheels?

I don't know if Kioti does that or not but that is a BIG marketing deal with Mercedes Benz and Aston Martin automobiles. Each AMG (AMG only) engine is built by one mechanic who then signs his name to a plaque which is then affixed to the motor. This is also done with Aston Martin's.

I love the color scheme on these new Bobcats. Why the white rear rim though?

Those are just assembly line wheels all the wheels and tires come off and go around to the front of the line again.
The tractors are shipped to America without wheels and tires.
