Kioti resale

None taken. I just can't see people with lesser known brands wanting to trade into Neil's shop.

Later this week when I go to the JD dealer, I will ask them how many lesser known brand owners wanting to trade into their shop.

BTW this is not a Kioti only question. There are threads in other forums asking about the value of specific models. Its a common questions. Seems to me a lot of people would be interested knowing which brands and models and tractor types hold value better or worse so they could ballpark their brand. )</font>
Bob, I think you've hit on the very reason that people would question Neil's results. With all the other like questions that have come up in all the forums, he has not once even thought of doing a comparison with Blue Book that he's now contemplating in the Kioti forum.

Obvious to me is that he thinks it will show Kioti to have a much lower resale than the two brands his family's company sells, and that maybe, just maybe, a person or two will decide to buy a Kubota or NH from them instead of a "lesser" brand. You err many times in calling him a dealer BTW, he's a sales person and computer person for their company, not the dealer.

My advice, Neil. Save yourself some work and grief and don't bother posting the results of your study. If it shows Kioti's have lower resale value, it wont be believed even though the source is an industry blue book.

Perhaps one of the Kioti dealers, who also has access to the Blue Book, will offer to do the work?

Why do you think it is necesary to speak for everyone in this forum. It is no secret that a major brand such as Kubota, JD, NH. Massey would have a higher resale value. I don't believe tractor owners have been living on another planet for the last 20 years. I believe the reason for starting this post was to discuss the fact the resale value of Kioti's have increased. I already have proof of that. I'm sure there are some instances where head to head the Kioti would come out very well compared to major brands. I'm sure the opposite could also be stated as well. I see at many farm auctions where high hp major brands suffer because the demand for the big tractors is just not there. Small hp tractors such as 20 to 40 hp range bring top dollar. The big hp tractors can be bought cheap. They really take a hit. No matter the brand. Like I said earlier in this thread, resale value alot of the times comes down to the product you have to sell versus what the public wants. If Mr. Customer wants it, they will pay the money for it. Simple business practice that has been around for many years. To assume this thread was started to say Kioti has the highest resale of all tractors is nonsense. I took it as a discussion on the fact that Kioti has increased. I believe this whole thread was actually suggested in a pm earlier by a non Kioti owner. Correct assumption?

I don't and I didn't. I've simply observed, and had to moderate, threads similar to this over the past few years.

You can't generalize from anecdotal evidence. That's the whole point of using data from a regional or national data source. Since you said you have the blue book values, why don't you post them and/or do the same work Neil said he'd do?

True. This proves what?
