He is afraid of the Kioti product that is why he tied it up in his area.
When I say afraid I mean that having a Kioti dealer 3 doors down from his shop would put a hurten on his other tractor brands that he sells, That is more than likely why he took on the Kioti line.

I agree completely. He/she is afraid to have a legitimate Kioti dealer nearby, but if he doesn't perform,and someone else is willing to take on the line, that's just what will happen.
A dealer who won't allow a test drive is nuts in my opinion, and I can't imagine why anyone would buy from them.
If a dealer is selling a lot of product, there may be some protections for that dealer, but if not performing, look out, because the sales manager is going to out there looking for another dealer to handle the line.
