Get your Kioti NOW price increase!

Cliff_Johns · Sep 13, 2004

Sorry, but this sounds a bit like a sales ad. Can you provide a little more info like when the prices are going up and a rough idea of percentage? I guess we've been discussing some increases based on steel prices, so it's not much of a surprise, but without something more, it just sounds like any other "buy now" kind of advertisement. I don't mean this as a reproach for posting, just desiring more information.

I spoke with me dealer and he said that the price will increase on his next shipment. I just bought a DK35 with loader for $16,000. He said for next shipment the price will go up to $16,800.

Price increases are true. Effective new price date is Oct 1 on any dealer’s orders. Price increases really vary from model to model, some more than others. Most are about 5% with some being as high as 7%.

not a sales pitch.... they went up.. should have bought last week...
Ive got an implimant supplier that tells me that we aint seen nothin yet as far as cost of steel going up...

depratt_equip · Sep 13, 2004

Believe it or not but some of our suppliers are dropping some of the steel surcharges way down.

Glad to hear it.
My DK 35 has cleared my 15 acres of badly overgrown, rough field. Tilled and leveled 6 acres turning into lawn (brushmows the other 9).
Cut out 600 foot driveway and turn around area. Spread the stone.
Mows my lawn, dug and backfilled over 1500' of utility lines.
Tills my garden. Backfilled around the new house. Currently busy digging hundreds of feet of drainage ditch. Etc. Etc.

That is what we are seeing also. Our New Kioti tractors that are in stock are looking better (pricewise) all the time, as the new ones start coming in--Ken Sweet

OK, Oct 1 is almost here. Can anyone report hard info on Kioti price increases? All models to include the almost new CK25 &30? What about attachments?
Thanks

depratt_equip · Oct 1, 2004

Dealers have been supplied with the new price sheets. Almost everything has gone up some depending on model, the new CK25's and 30's seem to have gone up 2%. Some models like the DK65 have gone up 5% and the DK55's have taken a 4% increase. Implements that Kioti gets from Midwest have gone up 20%, with other Kioti Implements (tillers, mowers) about 15%. The only tractor that I can see that did not take a price increase is the DK45/45c. If your looking for tractors or implements and your local dealer has them instock I would suggest you get them while they last.

sodamo · Oct 2, 2004

Thanks John. Any idea why such a large increase on the implements compared to the tractors?

MadReferee · Oct 2, 2004

( Thanks John. Any idea why such a large increase on the implements compared to the tractors? )

Probably because the average price of steel has more than doubled in the past 12 months. Most large users (like implement manufacturers) get quantity discounts or have fixed price contracts with suppliers. That is why implement costs have not doubled, just gone up 20-25%.

Tractors have gone up less because they are really large steel users and can demand certain price levels that other smaller users cannot.

One thing I haven't seen anyone mention yet is the change in dealer financing. Kioti extended their special financing/rebate programs, but changed some of the terms. The old one was based on dollar value (under 20 grand vs over), and had a 36 mo/0% deal for under 20 grand financed. The new program is based on model (CK vs LB/LK/DK), and they've tweaked the rates. There's no 36 mo/0%, but for the CK you can still get 30 mo/0%, or 24 mo/0% for the rest of the models. At 36 mo, the DK/LK/LB rate goes up from 1.99% to 2.99%, but the 48, 60 and 72 mo rates all drop by a half point of interest from the previous "over 20 grand" program (48 mo/3.49%, 60 mo/3.99%, 72 mo/4.49%).

All still good rates, but I bet some folks are going to be unhappy they they didn't bite before Oct 1, especially those who'd planned to finance for 36 mo terms.

you're right. the dealer members were good enough to let everyone know as soon as they knew about the increases, so anyone who didn't believe it is going to be a believer now!
The 36/0% was always a great deal and that's the one I got on my CK20. I'm hoping there'll be something good when I'm ready for the DK45C. John
