Kioti resale

Why would you judge a complete line of tractors from one tractor ad? Lack of maintenance alone would have a huge impact on any tractor. No one here knows the past history of that tractor. That tractor alone surely does not reflect on a entire product line.

So whats the point? What did a 1914 sell for 10 years ago and what percentage is 7900 of that? Heck these little tractors can be bought new with a loader for around $11K right now. Can a long time dealer remember the selling price of this 1914 when new? We may all be very surprized at what percentage of its original cost it has maintained, even though this specific tractor may have had some abuse or neglect in its past...

I started pulling some figurs out of a blue book to lay this out in a chart that will show the differences between the brands. According to the blue books that us tractor dealers use some models of Kioti machines (DK's) depricate as much as 20% faster than the equilivant models from the major lines. Some models are within 5-6% once you get out to several years. LK's really get hit hard.

Its going to take me some time to pull all this together, but once its done I'll post it online. I am pulling this together from a few different sources for every line of equipment to get somthing thats well balanced.

And let's hope that the sources you use are very recent. They are likely not to include the most recent information considering the time it takes to publish from the time the information is gathered, which is usually significant.

I just received Blue Book values just this past week. I would be very interested to see what figures you come up with.
