Is it true that the national sales of Kioti are off like 60 percent. I just went to a yearly farm show and really liked the new hst's

don't believe everything you hear

Wow 60%!! Maybe it's the cracking loader story and the way it's being handled by Kioti not to mention dealers that come and go are scaring people off. 60% sure sounds high though, I wonder how accurate that number is. I bet they sold a lot of LB1914's. That $9995 special for tractor and loader was a great deal on a great tractor. Is that special still going on?

Posting something like that with no reference to the source is hardly worth responding to.

Then why did you? It was not an attack, just a question from someone interested in a Kioti. I would want to know if I heard that as well. Of course it doesn't sound factual, but I would still ask.

The entire industry is down about 20%, we're down only slightly from the prior two years. While this is reconized as a whole, I've yet to hear any of our major lines express much concern for their own sales volumes.

I did not mean to start a problem. I went to a farm show and was really impressed with the new bigger hst kioti's. I thought that the fit finish was better than 2 years ago when I was looking at both orange tractors.
Someone mentioned that the Kioti sales had fallen off drastically and they were afraid that might affect the resale value. I have not looked much at Kioti before because of the fit finish issues that I saw on past year models. This year looked great.
