Looking for Kioti MSRP listing

caboose84 · Oct 30, 2014

Looking into buying a new tractor with loader and backhoe. On the Massey Ferguson website you can find a "build your tractor" link that will allow you to set up the basics and find out the MSRP. Is there something similar from Kioti???

Reason I ask is I looked at an MF on the lot, and the dealer said MSRP was one price, then said he'd sell it for a lesser price. When I looked at the MF web site his selling price was $1600 over MSRP!!! Needless to say I won't be going there and would like to avoid surprises like that.

Thanks!

No, Kioti, along with several other manufacturers has no Pricing tool or MSRP on their site. If you dig around on the internet you can sometimes find a MSRP. But these and even the website ones are often wrong. Most tractors sell for about 10% under MSRP, whatever it is. Don't price by MSRP either, as incentives, packages, taxes, dealer, and locality all add and subtract from the price. You haven't said what tractor you're interested in, but going from your previous tractor, I'll guess your looking in the 25 30HP range. I was quoted (MI) a CK30 w/ loader in late summer 2014 at 18500 before tax and financing. A BH will add at least 6K to that, then you can factor in the variables listed above. If you tell us the quote and tractor, somebody can usually tell you if it's a good price or not. Bottom line, MSRP is hard to find and only a very general guide.

Thanks Tony!!

Will see what happens as I go along. I always try to do some homework before I get into something- looking at the Massey was just a spur of the moment thing, that did have a little bit of a bad surprise.

Yes, I almost fell over when I saw the quote on a massey 1700 series (abt 35HP), I forget what it was, but it was ridiculous.

Wait until you get a Kubota or John Deere quote, as the Massey is less than they are.

JD yes, Kubota, depends, the GL was the highest quote I've ever seen for a 35HP tractor, but other than that, Kubota was actually quite reasonable. The L3200 was almost identically priced to the Kioti, but the Kioti outperformed it.

But lets not start a brand war here.
