Paying more for a kioti

[countrybumpkin]

Rural King/TYM purchase would be a crap shoot, in my opinion, especially for a first time tractor owner.

Rural King is not going to have experienced tractor mechanics. And every new tractor arrives with glitches.

I consider Kubota standard models and Kioti equivalent. TYM is not equivalent.

Your hard earned money, not mine.

I would agree too, look at what is happening with the Cabelas tractors right now.

I agree, I did just find out rural king did buy our local kmart and will be building a new store to open in 2019 which is really close to me, then the kubota store is one minute past that but it's an old company that won't be around much longer... most big name stuff around me is located in bowling green, ky which is where I work and go to school at so even though its inconvenient it's now really a deal breaker. Plus I am very knowledgeable when it come to working on stuff, plus I actually know how to look up info I need.

Interesting, we just had a larger Kmart store close here and I heard Rural King was looking at it.

Country,
The RK and Cabela situations are different. But since you brought in up and are well informed, can you describe what is happening w/ the Cabela tractor?



EDIT: Just saw this post from another thread,

Just to be clear, I am a powersports outfitter at Cabela's and I have been selling the tractors and will continue to do so, but I am upfront with any customer about what is happening, for most people they are looking at the price and considering future service needs. But Cabela's will not turn their backs on their customers, that you can be sure of

Things have changed since that post 2-1/2 years ago, and now that bass pro owns Cabelas.
