Buying Advice Kioti vs McCormick

[Coyote machine]

Asking for facts to backup your biased opinions has nothing to do with aggression or demands. You want to hide behind whatever your agenda is while having nothing to say that is close to credible, and whining about what you refer to as aggressive posts. Try saying something grounded in reality instead of unsubstantiated nonsense.

You can also add Montana , farmtrac , and probably a few others (that I can't think of at the moment)to the group

Good point. The purchaser's of these brands don't have the support they might have hoped for.

I would go with a Kioti over a McCormick. I don't like rebranded tractors.

Are you saying Daedong has a weak dealer network in the US regarding
Kioti or all their brands labels in the US market?

DaeDong tractor of Korea, as represented primarily by Kioti in North America, is, was,
and may continue to be, weakly represented. In the past, they have also partnered with Cub Cadet,
Bobcat, and now McCormick, but they are still weak, compared to Kubota, JD, and CNH. I had
high hopes with Bobcat, since they DO have a strong dealer network. Too bad that died.

Since I got my new Kioti in 05, several Kioti dealers have come and gone here in CA, but none
have ever been closer than 100 miles to me. That same radius has multiple dealers for Kub, JD,
CNH, and Bobcat.

Since I am a big fan of DaeDong's value, I would love to see them beef up their presence
here, regardless of what brand name they use.

It is interesting how the dealers are distributed. I have 2 Kioti and 1 LS dealer within 20 miles, no Kubota or Deere until I go abit farther.
Anyways, my dealer seems to be doing well and has hired another man, so I'll continue to enjoy my tractor without worrying that its not green or the other orange.
