I think you all need to go back and look at what Neil wrote, he was not putting the data together for the Kioti forum. He was putting it together for his dealership. He simply offered to post the results when he was done. He didn't say where he would post them, just that he would do it, so there is no reason to think it will end up in the Kioti forum. Heck he might post 1/2 of it in the New Holland area and the other 1/2 in the Kubota forum. That is up to him.
As for the data and being honest about it, there are many dealers on this website. So I think that if Neil posts incorrect numbers about a Montana tractor, then Maka will have a holy cow over it. If Neil posts incorrect numbers about Zetor, then Chipperman will jump on him. If Neil posts inaccurate numbers about Kioti then there are several members who also have access to the Blue Books who represent that brand.
Why is everyone so vain as to think that Neil is doing this for (or against) Kioti?
If, however, Neil creates a spreadsheet for his dealership's use, and if that spreadsheet is simply using Blue Book data, and if the data parallels are valid comparisions, then the data will stand up to whatever anyone wants to throw at it. And if the data is manipulated, or if the data is falsified, then Neil will be caught and his credibility will go down.
Heck, if I was Neil, I wouldn't even share my information with everyone because it seems obvious that no matter what the outcome of the data people here will trash Neil.
