Howdy,
Those of us who live in the NW corner of the US seem a little hampered by limited dealerships. What I know of is one in Post Falls, ID, one in Redmond, OR and one in Chehalis, WA.
I just completed a deal on a CK30S with hoe and FEL with the guy in WA. In the process I tried to deal with both the dealer in Oregon and the one in ID. Although I live in the Puget Sound area I grew up on and own a ranch in NE WA which is where the tractor will eventually end up....so anyone of the 3 would've worked for me. The WA dealer gave me the best price...by over a $1,000. I didn't try dickering much with the Post Falls people but I did with the Oregon guy. He just couldn't get his price to come in. He was ok to deal with though. The other problem was that he didn't have any stock and couldn't tell me when there would be a CK30S (I ended up talking to Kioti in Carolina and found out it would probably be toward the end of April).
The dealer in WA has a lot of tractors, attachments, and implements. I know he has some 45s and I wouldn't be surprised if there is a 65 or 2 there as well. He doesn't have a store front operation but rather works out of a barn! I think both this and the fact that he has an inventory allows him to sell at the prices he does. He told me when I picked my tractor up last weekend that he did the best he could to keep his overhead as low as possible. I think the fact that he has inventory also helps. As we all know, steel prices are escalating very rapidly. Depending on how he is pricing his inventory a tractor he has had in stock for a few months is certainly going to have cost him less than one coming off the boat today.
If you don't mind hauling the tractor 350 to 400 miles I'd recommend you at least check with them. They do work during the day so its best to call them in the evening before 9.
There is a trailer manufacturer about a mile away who build a passably could trailer at a good price so you can almost make it a one loop deal....I did in a total downpour.
