Problems buying Kioti in NC

[SunnyJim]

NO! - I am not trying to bypass any legit business and I don't appreciate you implying so.

Did you maybe stop and think that one or more of these are the very ones I originally talked about?

What I am tired of is "dealers" who claim to be dealers of a particular brand who MIGHT have 1 tractor in stock and like some of my local dealers who have rusty inventory, coming with all the free muddabber wasp nest you stand, along with their crappy attitudes.
I don't expect anyone to carry everything - just something.

Maybe you can throw away $20,000, or maybe don't care - but I do. If I buy new - I want new - If I want battered and rusty - I'll pay accordingly.

I want to see to compare - I just don't think that's asking too much. If you are a dealer and can't handle that, then maybe you need a change of career or the at the very least an attitude adjustment.

As far as Kioti is concerned, they never answered my email. I'm new to tractor buying and did not know the situation, but I also didn't just fall off the cabbage truck, either.

Thanks for everyone's input.

Robertson Equipment in Colerain, NC had several models when I bought mine. Initial purchase was good, you can test drive on site or at your place for the weekend etc. They are off the beaten path though and I would call to make sure they have what you are interested in on hand.

I live in the eastern part of North Carolina and the closest 5-Paw dealer is over 4 hours away, while I am only about 2 hours away from your Wendell office.

I have been waiting to see what type/kind of reply you receive.

I received a PM response. I will say he's about 150 miles south of me. If he was closer we could have tried my CK25 this weekend. I spent all weekend brush cutting. I still have 2 loads of sand to move and a bunch of trees to stack on the burn pile.

I share your sentimets and have experienced similar events. I live about 10 miles from the Kioti HQ. I have just placed an e-mail to Wallace and hope to get some information for upgrading my Kioti. I spoke with him once before and he was more than helpful; he fixed my problem over the phone without cost. That is why I want to do business with him inspite of the distance.

While at one of the un-named dealers in the area I experienced two opposite opinions of the same problem from the same dealer and little concern as to solving my problem. You did not have to name the guy you spoke with, I am pretty sure I know.

I've had excellent service from West End Tractor in Vale, NC. I believe he picks up his own tractors at the factory so maybe he could bring you one on his next trip. He usually has 20-30 in stock, lots of other stuff as well - new and used.
