Dealer Can't Find a Dealer - IA/WI/IL

[jmauss]

I've been looking pretty hard at a Massey 1528, but the more I read the forum and compare specs, I'd really like to take a look at a CK25 HST or CK 30HST. The problem is that it looks like I might have to go a ways to find a dealer. The only dealer listed on the Kioti web site within 100 miles of me, Mid Land Equipment, in Cedar Rapids, IA, no longer carries Kioti. The web site will not let me search for anything farther than 100 miles. I live in Eastern Iowa, but I am a stones throw from SW Wisconsin and NW Illinois.

I don't want to go too far for a dealer, but the Massey dealer is 60 miles, so I am already planning to go a ways. I have JD and Kubota close by, but I ruled them out because I am a very large guy and don't fit very well on one (the JD), and I absolutely hate the way Kubota seats sit; I feel like I am sliding off the front of the seat. I don't know why they lean forward so much!

Anyway, I really like the looks and specs on the Kioto compacts, I just need to find a dealer so I can drive one.

The way I found dealers was either through a Google searrch of a specific tractor model or I used mapquest and the Googled "zip codes" of cities in WI and IA. There is for sure a dealer in WI around the southern part of the state. I was dealing with a guy named Brian and the company began with a "B". He was OK to deal with but sold a tractor out from under me while I was still deciding. I guess I would still suggest talking to him.

I Live in SW Indiana and my Kioti was delivered by Wallace Tractor all the way from PA. Wallace Tractor - Great Competitive Dealer-Excellent Service. Several other fine Kioti dealers here at TBN that can help you out. You might also check the Kioti dealer in Metropolis, IL.

I love my DK 45s

Paul,

You can fake the system out. If you look at the address bar when when you do your 100 mile search you will see something like:
www,kiotitractor,com/Search.asp?Admin=&ZipSearchSubmit=1&Start=10&ZipCode=44077&Radius=100

You can change the Radius search to look like ...Radius=200 or

www,kiotitractor,com/Search.asp?Admin=&ZipSearchSubmit=1&Start=10&ZipCode=44077&Radius=200

To do this, all you have to do is double click at the end of the address line, delete the 100 and make it 200 (or however far you wish to look.)

(Note: dots (.) replaced with commas (,) so the system does treat it like a website)

Goodluck

Kurt

The only other dealer I can find around you is:

Bedwell Farm Equipment Co. Inc.
309-772-2343
Route 9, Box 210
MEDIA, IL 61422

It might be worth contacting Kioti by using the "send a request" link at the bottom of the dealer search window.
