Drew, it seems you still have a little confusion as to why a thread like this is not really welcome by many of the members.
When one makes a statement such as this, there is always someone who is going to come in and challenge it, with good reason.
Once they challenge, then you answer back, the they get nastier, and someone else joins in to help, and pretty soon, we have ANOTHER on of "those" threads, and the moderators deem it necessary to shut it down to keep the peace.
I've been a part of enough of those type threads to know what can happen.
Yes, you're in the Kioti forum, which is a part of the tractorbynet pervue. It's not unusual for a lot of other brand owners to come here "just" so they can stir it a little. This thread gives them ammunition to go after you.
I personally don't see anything wrong with your post, as anyone who has any sense knows that it's YOUR opinion that you're stating. How could it be anything else? However, there will be those, who I believe are of lesser intelligence, who don't realize that, and can't just let it lie.
By the way, I don't know that I can agree with you that Kioti is the best by far. There are a lot of very good brands out there, and I've been on mnay of them. Kioti is generally a very good tractor, I love mine a lot, but I couldn't make that statement about Kioti or any other brand for that matter.
