I have not run the recently released midframe machines. They have been very well received by dealers I have heard. These machines were designed and built in the US by the same guys that have designed and built some of the most popular skid steers on the planet. They will be competitive with any machine in their class, that you can be certain. The Kohler engine has some big advantages. The fact that they have a 4k hour warranty says a lot about what Kohler thinks of their engines. As to seeing them on the job sites, like I said, this is going to take time to establish their reputation in the market. If the machines perform well (that I have no concerns about), they stand behind the machines they build (I know they will), and can provide adequate dealer support (that remains to be seen in my opinion) they will see success in the NA market. They are coming into the market at a great time, economy is growing, SSL's and CTL's are selling, that should help their cause.
