Kioti is working diligently on expanding the dealer market so I would expect other dealers, especially in areas that Kioit is not already represented, to take on the line. Thier approach is different than some other lines that have put dealers into every nook and cranny they can, regardless of the dealers experience or service facilities, etc. The Kioti dealer program will not appeal to a small unmotivated dealer. They expect some volume from their dealers and require annual "qualifying orders". But the tractors are outstanding, getting better and better, and competitively priced. It is very unusual that we see tractors back in the shop, most of our customers do their own oil changes, and it is very unusual for something to break. My point is that filters can be easily mailed and the odds of needed more than that are slim. If you are within 200 miles of a "back up" dealer, you could still get your tractor there in a day's trip for any unexpected repair. Many of the top Kioti dealers at the recent dealer meeting were fairly new, Who knows, yours may be there in a couple years. I say give the guy a chance. If no one did business with a new dealer, NONE of us would have made it!
