3054 xs for real?

[wvrider]

Hi all,
A new member and tractor shopper here.
I spoke with my most local Kioti dealer. He states he spoke with Kioti last night and there is no such thing as the "new" 3054 in country yet. I mentioned the various dealers who seem to have them and he stated perhaps they were grey market tractors (and mentioned he's seen such 1914's with odd parts in the past). So are the new XS versions for real or not. Is kioti just really bad at informing dealers? How about the scuttle on the bigger CK tractors. Any word on timing? I am leaning to the LB1914 right now but a little more horsepower would be nice...

The changes in the Kioti 3054 were announced in the last 2 dealer conference meetings. The big problem with some Kioti dealers is they rearly attend the dealer meetings and or service schools. The factory representatives forget to mention the up coming changes and releases because they have been announced in the dealer meeting 6-8 months before they happen. There are valid reasons to miss a dealer meeting but not 4 or 5 in a row. I can not understand why a dealer does not have contact with the manufacturer every week of the year. They owe it to their customers.

Phil,
Your question was about the Kioti 3054XS. I would encourage you to visit the Official Kioti websitewww.kiotitractor.com and contact Kioti directly.

CCI: I would also recommend for you to contact Kioti. If you have a grind on how Kioti or their dealers operate their business you should be talking to them. Spewing second hand information serves no productive purpose.

Good luck,
Don

PS: Phil, If you fill in your profile more, chances are you'll get more directed responses.

Re: bigger hydros

IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING that the bigger CKs will be here some time this spring. as for me, I am looking forward to it. Tired of loosing sales to the big 3 who have the larger hydros.

It would be a good move on Kioti's part to offer the option of hydro on some of the DK models.

Re: bigger hydros

Ya I have heard the same thing. Im looking more toward mid summer though. Thats one thing i really liked about LK3054XS is its larger hyd pump. It was a 7.8GPM, the new XS has a 10.0 GPM pump /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Re: bigger hydros

It is not real clear to me in this post. Is the LK3054XS a Hydro model?

Thanks.

Re: bigger hydros

NO hydro trans, its a shuttle shift, the larger pump is for attachments.

Re: bigger hydros

Sorry bout the confusion in that post there. I was just referring to the larger hyd capacity in the new LK3054XS. As bluechip stated the LK3054XS is an 8x8 with a shuttle. Hopefully we will begin to see the new CK25 and 30's this summer sometime.

Re: bigger hydros

the lk 3054 xs is for real. I got one, there are several dealers here in texas that have them. They are not gray market. Who ever told you that they are gray market is either terribly misinformed, or does not know what he is talking about. Just went to the wearhouse yeasterday and picked up a DK 45 ,loader, backhoe, and 5 tillers. They have several 3054xs there in the wearhouse. Great upgrades. Lord willing, I just sold the 3054xs I have on the lot, ...I'll need to go get some more. This is starting of to be a great year. 5 machines in 15 days.
