</font><font color="blue" class="small">( No, you didn't miss anything. I just wonder why so many manufacturers don't put pricing online. (Even if it is MSRP) I think I'll start a thread about this. Who knows, maybe someone at one of these corporations just might get wind and change a policy...Kyle

Kioti doesn't presently list their prices, but I've been working on them! There are plenty of others who also want list pricing simply so the buyer has a beginning spot to work with. Dealer's are penalized on their discounts if they post their discounted pricing, which I suppose protects other dealers from low ballers, but I see no problem with putting up list. Some dealers do that in their advertising and then add, "Call us for major discounts off the MSRP." At least then one has a beginning figure to work with.
I agree that blanket pricing statements are misleading. Of course, I think anyone would see that there no way that any brand that's a comparable model could be $10,000 more than another, but it's confusing for tractor newbies. John

Yes it would be nice if Dealers would do that, with the price of fuel out there, who can even afford to go looking.. My wife usually says I'm annoying with all the research I do on the net when I want to buy something, obsessed she callls it..yea, so... just like to be sure of what I'm buying.. but gett'in back to your dealers, usually the best I can do is look at close to new to get an Idea of prices,, the Branson dealer up here shows his prices, {CowlitzTractor.com}.. But it would make tractor buying a little easier if you could see some sort of price.. But they will call you back with a price...

Hi Tracer, I've just been through the whole process myself & the wife said the same thing about me too!
I guess we're just misunderstood when it comes to making an important buying decision like a tractor. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
All the very best with your decision & your tractor & I look forward to seeing your pics.
My tractor arrives tomorrow & I'll be posting some pics on the Kioti forum after the weekend play!

Best regards,
Buzz.
