Kioti has teamed up with Woods

KIOTI Tractor Introduces New Line of Industry-Leading Implements

So Kioti is going to purchase Woods equipment painted orange and labeled Kioti?

The way I read it is when Woods products are done they go down an assembly line and instead of taking a left for vomit brown and Woods decals they will take a right and get Kioti orange and a Kioto sticker with Woods part #'s.

Better than getting Woods Equipment labeled Kubota, Frontier, Massey, and whomever else.

That's how it sounds to me. I personally don't like this approach. I think it's very deceiving to the unknowing.

In a couple years we'll have active threads on here about one of two things..... 1. How great the Kioti equipment line is. 2. How bad the Kioti equipment line is.

Why would it be better?

We have a Ford tractor with a Bush Hog loader, Woods bush hog, Bush Hog box blade & a Massey Furgeson corn planter. I don't care who's name is on it or what color it is I want it to perform for the task at hand.

Yeah me too. My Machine Shed is filled with a rainbow of colors.

If for no other reason, the paint will match.

That said I like my Woods BB720X, but agree with Spaniard about the ugly Woods "burnt orange" factory color.

I'm just old school I guess. If it's Woods built it should be Woods color with a Woods sticker.

Not picking on Woods, there are dozens of examples of this.

I totally get the Kioti move. Died in the Wool Kioti lovers wouldn't dream of buying a Woods cutter, but they'll gobble up a Woods cutter painted Kioti orange and labeled Kioti. American consumers, gotta love em.
