The announcement was made at the KIOTI Tractor annual dealer meeting held in Raleigh, N.C. During a reception dinner, KIOTI’s national sales manager, Tony Brown introduced the 2009 Million Dollar Dealers. Both Brown and Hans Bouwers, the Canadian sales manager, handed out the award plaques, congratulating the dealers on reaching these outstanding levels of sales. Raymond was unable to attend the event.
Gary’s Yamaha offers the full line of KIOTI Tractors and UTVs along with complete KIOTI parts and service support. “We are extremely pleased,” stated Bouwers, “that during these difficult economic times, Gary’s Yamaha has worked extremely hard to achieve this level of business.”
Raymond who has been a KIOTI dealer for a little more than one year, said he hadn’t realized his business had achieved that level of business. “It’s a nice compact tractor,” said Raymond, “it truly is a great product at a great value. The cost of these tractors start as low as $999.99.”
Through June 30, 2010 the Caribou business will be offering special deals on all models of KIOTI compact tractors. These programs include free loaders with the purchase of any model in the popular CK line, a choice of three different deals on LK and DS models and low-rate financing on all models in the DK line.
KIOTI manufactures 30 compact tractor models in the 22 to 90 horsepower range for homeowners, farmers, hobby farmers, landscapers and a variety of other end users and will be introducing a new line of UTVs this spring. KIOTI is a member of AEM, as well as several other trade associations serving the farm equipment and related industries.
