There's a little bit of confusion here. Here's the relationship"
Daedong is the parent company of KIOTI Tractor.
Daedong (KIOTI) uses a Doosan engine in the PX Series Tractors only. CK, DK, NX, RX, Mechron, K9 engines are Daedong.
Doosan has an agreement with Daedong on compact tractors. Daedong will supply Doosan with certain model compact tractors to be labeled and sold as Bobcat (again). Those re-labeled tractors will have Daedong Engines.
Hope this helps..
That would seem to be a good opportunity for Daedong. Bobcat has about 1,000 dealers worldwide so there is a potential for some significant volume there.
Interestingly, one of Daedong's businesses is manufacturing golf carts. That seems like a strange thing for a tractor manufacturer to be involved in, but then TYM also does flatware and publishing along with their equipment business.
