Looks like I'm buying a Kioti!

When I was tractor shopping I came real close to buying the ck30/35. I was quoted the same price for the ck30 as the 'bota l3400 and the ck35 was $600.00 more. I went with the 'bota, and glad I did, only because the dealer went out of business (I wonder why) and the next Kioti dealer is over 200 miles away.

If the Kioti dealer would have just beaten the 'bota by a grand or so, I would be driving a different colored orange, and he would probably still be in business

Different experience for me. I looked at a kubota 4240(42hp) and the Kioti DK40se (41hp)The Kubota was $7,000 grand more than the Kioti.I have 3 kubota dealers local and 3 Kioti dealers also.It was a no brainer for me.coobie

Congrats Dave, and welcome to the Pack! You're packin' a punch with a CK35.

The closest Kioti dealer is about 45 miles from me. I've got 2 Kubota dealers within 20 miles from me, but I bought from a Kioti dealer around 200 miles from me.

. I never even spoke with the closest Kioti dealer because the service Wallace was offering here and he was known for offer a fair price.

As for the Kubota, I looked at the BX24 and also one of their B series. Based on the specs, I was pretty much set on going with Kioti.

I did look at the TYM, but the dealer I went to was terrible. This made me nervous. But because the TYM promo, I basicly left it up to which ever dealer, Kioti or TYM, contacted me 1st. I got contact from Wallace and went up to his shop that Sunday. Deal was done.....

It's hard to beat a dealer that's available 7 days a week; when it comes to service.

Agree on the 7 days a week, Rick has helped me out on a Sunday (phone) more than once.

Rick was kind enough to spend time with me even though a future sale was geopgraphically not likely. I sincerely appreciate even thing he did to help me. If he did that for me imagine what he would do for you if you were to buy something
