[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1233383, member: 18945"] Finding the right dealership is the key to whether or not one "gets a good one" or not with most tractors. Kioti is a Daedong, branded for the US--everywhere else, they are just Daedongs. I looked at a Kioti a few years ago, and they looked to be a heavy built tractor, but I passed on it due to the fact the dealership was small and a new one---they've since gone out of business. When I see an import tractor that I don't know anything about, I look to see what brands they also make--or used to make. Can't find any for Kioti other than the parent Daedong. Someone mentioned Branson--they have a prior history. Built by Kukje Machinery Company S Korea, and they also made Zetor and Century. Century Tractors was founded in the late 1990s as a part of American Jawa, based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA. American Jawa was a US-based importer of tractors, including Zetor and later Landini. Century tractors were built in South Korea by Kukje. They were later renamed the Zetor C-series for a short time in 2003, and the Century brand was dropped. That only lasted a year or so, and the Zetor C-series was also dropped. In the USA, the Kukje-built tractors continued to be available under the Branson Tractors livery. [/QUOTE]
