bobcat/kioti

[DK35vince]

I remember my Kubota salesman telling me that i would regret buying a Kioti as it "may look good now, but will fall apart quickly".

I have had my DK 35 for 10 years now with 1525 hours.
No sign of any weak areas yet.
Looks and works like new.

I agree, I have heard more negative comments about Bobcat from Kioti dealers and their regional reps than from even online.

I just think they are very unprofessional and lacking in responsibility.

It would make me steer away from Kioti in the future.

I am almost sorry I even looked at them before I bought the Bobcat

I wouldn't stay away from the brand, I would stay away from that dealer. Don't throw the baby out with the bath water. Daedong owns Kioti and supplies tractors to McCormick, Landini and Bobcat. They are definitely not telling dealers to badmouth the other brands.

If you go back a good number of years, Kubota was the brand infiltrating the tractor market and "some" salesman of the other color brands had nothing good to say about them. Well, we see that isn't the story. All the brands have their strengths and weaknesses. I picked my Kioti for my reasons just as others pick whatever brand they want. It's nice we have a choice.
