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.
