What is a Kioti tractor?

When I first saw this Craigslist item, I thought it was a joke on Kubota, but Kioti's really exist. So many of the features look like a Kubota, I was really surprised.

Kioti makes a good tractor, but I really don't like it when one company copies another. So my money goes to the original orange tractor...

They say imitation is a sincere form of flattery. But sadly all the great things are imitated and copied in life.

With a nickel's worth of smarts and $100 in parts you can fix the charging system - in the worst case it is probably the alternator - best case is a loose connection.
The deal is, so can he. If the tractor is so great, why sell it so cheap? If a deal is too good to be true, proceed with extreme caution!

"Will take cash or check, and for $150 more will even accept Visa, Master Card, or Discover."

What kinda BS is that? Who charges 150 bucks more to put it on a credit card?

The reason he does it is that the card company charges a fee for him to accept credit cards. In my case it is as much as 4% of the sale. He is only asking about 2%, so he must be a large customer for the card company to get those low rates. I do not do it and it is actually against his contract with the credit card company.
