Kioti UTV??!!!!

country350 · Feb 9, 2009

I was at my local Kioti deal this weekend and he was telling me Kioti is planning on releasing a new utility vehicle similar to the Polaris Ranger. It is supposed to have the same engine as the CK20 tractor! Does anyone have any info or pics on this? The dealer said that he is supposed to have some in stock this spring. I think this is going to be a huge seller for them. I was planning on getting a Ranger but think I may hold off to see how the reviews are on the new Kioti UTV.

That would be great! I am in the market for a UTV and if it matches my Kioti and uses the same fuel, that would be a big selling point. I looked at a diesel Kubota but feel I would be letting my Kioti down.

I agree. I love my DK35!! And if it's true that it will have the diesel CK20 engine all the better. The dealer said that he was going down to the Kioti Dealer show in NC in a few weeks and he expects them to unveil it there...

It's true !!!

We plan on having them on the lot this spring / early summer. KIOTI has been working on the vehicle for several years. We have seen pictures of the prototypes, they look real nice.

Same engine as the CK20S (22hp).

Do you happen to have a pic or specs on the new UTV? I can't wait for spring now!

We don't yet, National dealer meeting in a couple weeks. We may have something we can share after the meeting.

OH NO!! I am going to have to delete all Kioti links on my computer. SWMBO has been talking about getting a UTV, she has mentioned several times that she wants to get one that matches my CK30. If she sees this... my checking account is going to be in a world of hurts.

It is bad enough that last fall she was racking up more hrs on the CK than I was... I don't need this as well, besides the CK is not paid for yet.

No problem we will just pay off your CK with the new loan on the UTV

that way you still only have 1 payment

Uh Oh!

I just sold my dirt bike....and I bought a snowmobile.

Will the Kioti have an option for tracks like the Polaris?? I NEED something with a track for getting around in these winters. My neighbor bought a Polaris with tracks for his wife

It's way more utilitarian, and therefore appropriate, for my use than a sled is. Especially when the sled is a '79 Jag 340 held together by bungees...... Don't laugh! I skidded a branch with it! I needed some kindling.....

Rick... I knew I could depend on Team Wallace to jump in with a solution.

Why do I have this feeling there will be a new UTV at your next open house picnic to tempt us with??

Won't the Kioti UTV just be a repainted Bobcat UTV? That would make sense.

Ouch...

Now that just hurts.

Rudevette · Feb 10, 2009

I say that because Bobcat has had their UTV out for awhile now and now that Bobcat and Kioti are the same company one would assume that if Kioti is releasing a UTV it would be the Bobcat one. Just like the Bobcat tractors are the Kioti tractors.

MichiganIron · Feb 10, 2009

Just a clarification:

Bobcat and KIOTI are not the same company. KIOTI Tractor (Daedong) has an agreement with the parent company of Bobcat to build their compact tractors for them. Some of the KIOTI Tractors are painted black and white and marketed/sold as Bobcat tractors. It is a manufacturing/marketing agreement, they are not the same company.

The KIOTI UTV will be a KIOTI (Daedong).

somguyss · Feb 10, 2009

KIOTI UTV is a new product for Daedong and KIOTI, it is not a Bobcat at all it is completly KIOTI all the way I beleive all will be happy with the UTV and sells will be good. You will have to keep your eyes open and mind clear and be ready for new products from KIOTI .

One other note about Bobcat UTV's they are not made by Bobcat they are made by ClubCar.

My son-in-law was at the Moncton RV show over the weekend and said that Kioti had one of their UTV's there. He said his brother took some pictures, I'm trying my best to get a hold of them.
