How do you say KIOTI?

rivulet · May 19, 2005

I thought it was Key-oh-tee

But while talking to a dealer yesterday he said Coyote

Which makes sense given their logo

and slogan "Pure Animal"

I had to ask the same thing.

Coyote... Like the animal. We get it pronounced every other way though.

I too pronounced it wrong in the begining. It's like the others said, coyote, the animal. A good name. My CK30HST works like an animal.

my daughter STILL won't let me forget walking into the local dealer a few years back and asking about the KEE-O-TEES...the look the guy gave me was priceless

Don't feel bad when some one miss pronounces Kioti. I have a Kubota and my neighbor always says: Kubooota.

( Don't feel bad when some one miss pronounces Kioti. I have a Kubota and my neighbor always says: Kubooota. )
I have a neighbor that continues to call my Kioti a KAboota.
I've heard people say Kabooter, Kuboter etc. Even heard one say Kabooki one time! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
The priceless saying in the 70s used to be: People that eat with sticks, shouldn't make tractors! They were wrong.

Looks to me like they're the only ones making tractors

Yep the barkin' dog gives it away

The classic that I and a another dealer both had happen to us....

"What are those K-10-TI's" ?
The guy was serious. The old stickers were a little harder to read, but there were no dashes.
