Kioti unrest for lack of better words

[mx5guy]

From what I can tell our Pack numbers keep growing, and I wonder if there is a way to find out how many Kioti owners there are, and how does that compare to say 5 or 10 years ago. And how do these numbers compare to the other makes. are we loosing ground or moving it?:thumbsup:

That may be hard to find out. I do see new Kioti members on this site regularly. If no one was buying Kioti tractors then there would not be any dealers around either. In the province of British Columbia there are (to the best of my knowledge) two fairly new dealers, now total of three. Finding out the total production numbers from the Kioti factory could be challenging but interesting. Rainy day so may spend a bit of time trying to find out.

I was just wondering about stats, from this site only as it would represent a comparitive representation of owners out there. I would guess this site would represent 5 to 10 % of actual sales and ownership out there. Our web master may have a way, to list owners by Tractor make. Would be nice to get an Idea of which manufacturers are growing.

the traffic shows more about a sites design and search engine placement than it does anything to do with the product. Another site I work on would lead you to believe that TYM owns 70% of the market. Kubota, New Holland and Deere make up just shy of 90% by most estimates. That leaves the balance for everyone else. Its hard to make any real judgments from there as the other brands are very regional. Mahindra is bigger in the south, while Kioti seems to do better in New England. As of two years ago Daedong had posted on their website that they sold 8000 tractors/year in the US. The market is around 250,000 total units, thats about 3%. With around 220 dealers thats 40-50 per dealer average. Thats tough.

As for who is growing. I read a report from Chase (I think, it was one of the big banks) last week on the agribusiness industry and according to that Deere and Kubota are adding share. The rest are loosing. Granted, that report was almost totally focused on Agco, Deere and CNH.

Bottom line, no one really knows. Industry folks like myself wonder these things too.

Well, I've bought 2 CK-20 in the last three years, so that's definitely going to sway the bell curve.

I guess I'm number 7?

Since I joined back in late Jan on this year there has to of been 10 new tractors of all sizes, wonder how that compares to the JD or the Kobota's?

Don't think Kioti is going to outsell JD or Kobota any time soon. I suspect only a small amount of Kioti owners will post on this site. Kioti is a nice well priced tractor and the numbers will keep growing.
