Kioti vs. Bobcat prices

[davitk]

I would also like for the Bobcat dealers to provide the 120 differences between a Kioti and a Bobcat.
As a matter in fact just tell me 50 differences.
I stood their and watched them roll down the assembly line one orange tractor two orange tractor 1 white tractor another orange tractor.
I did not see anyone grabbing from different parts baskets.

I think the only real difference in these tractors are going to be made by the salesman!

O and of coarse the color and loaders and backhoes.

I'll bet there are at least 120 parts that are painted white

I guess even Bobcat salesmen are ummm................."salesmen"

One of the things the Bobcat dealer told me was that they were provided with a Powerpoint presentation that listed the "120" differences between the Kioti and the Bobcat versions.

I will try and get the info when I am at the Farm Show this weekend.

The other day as I drove past my local Bobcat dealer where they have a White "CK25" and a "CK30" on display and noticed they now have a White "CK20" size next to them! I thought they were only selling the "CK25/30" ?

Naa it is not the name... it is the white paint... they get it from the same place that John Deere does.

Coobie, you got an exceptional deal.
That is less than what we pay for that machine.
Then add the cost of setting it up with a battery etc.
Exceptionally exceptional deal!!

No Kioti dealers left in WI, so am curious does Bobcat offer a Mid mower on any of their units?

One quick note. I called the Bobcat dealer near me to see if they were going to sell any of the larger class Kioti tractors (i'm looking at a DK35) because, i said, 'they are essentially the same tractor'.

He went on to say they weren't, that they made all of these improvements, etc, so i asked him for an example. 'Our suspension seat is the best in the industry!' haha.

Anyway, he said they should be introducing a 335 series pretty soon, which sounds like the DK35 in white based on the stats he provided. The upside for me is that there are Bobcat dealers nearby, the closest Kioti dealer is ~80 miles. Not sure it's worth the premium though.

(Off topic, i saw the DK35 in person for the first time last night...didn't get to drive it, but i really liked the size and setup...definitely still at the top of the shortlist)
