Just wondering, what are the "gray market", and Zennoh tractors exactly? I've heared that the gray markets are kabotas without the stickers and orange paint, and have a lower price tag. Is this true?

Wow, thanks for bringing those articles by Vic to our attention! What a story. I had heard parts of it and knew the dealers had shut down, but I didn't know why.
Vic, thanks for the aritcles!

LOL. what ZENOH is doing in japan is criminal IMHO and it,s just a mater of time before people get fed up and rebell. such a waste to make people turn in
good tractors and and keep paying payments foreever. make no mistake,
history will repeate itself, and all the riots, bombings and such is comeing here. my crysal ball told me so.
u and mr K are doing a good Vic

It really looks like a risky adventure. And wenn ich calculate 85k divided by 18 units its not a big gain in the end. Especially if some are not working. When I send some stuff from China to Germany, the gain in Germany is more than 3 times, sometimes 8 times with a little extra work. Otherwise it wouldn't worth all the shipping, agencys and "maybe" sold in the end.
And by the way, I haven't seen a dealer of grey Kubotas with a Porsche...
So regarding to Vic it's more something like, bring it in and sell it over and over again. Additional service makes worth all the costs of shipping.
It's like the old economy school saying: If there is no market to make your money, make your market.
Hope that Vic will keep his hands oily as long he enjoys it
