Kioti Tractor added three representatives to its sales team, the company said last week. Hans Bouwers was named Canadian national sales manager; Ron Ross South Central Regional U.S. territory representative; and Troy Crawford Western U.S. territory representative.

Bouwers has 14 years experience in the management and sale of compact tractors, with an extensive background in equipment sales. Bouwers will oversee Kioti territory managers throughout Canada, recruit new dealers, assist in sales training and support existing Kioti dealers.

Crawford worked for a major manufacturer of construction equipment for the past four years. He will work in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Wyoming and Montana, with the primary responsibility of supporting existing Kioti dealers and helping develop new dealers in open territories.

Ross brings more than 26 years experience as a territory manager. He will represent Kioti in South Central Texas.

Kioti Tractor, based in Wendell, N.C., distributes a full line of compact tractors in the 22-90 horsepower range.
