K&D dealer support

Dealer Starter Assortment

This guide shows the K&D products that should sell first for dealers, tack shops, farm stores, mobile retailers, and barn-supply counters. The goal is not a random catalog wall. The goal is a retail setup customers can understand in seconds.

Fast answer: Start with the products horse owners already know how to buy: flat back buckets, bucket hangers, full-size stall forks, compact cleanup forks, feed scoops, feed tubs, replacement heads, replacement handles, grooming totes, and travel storage.

Recommended first dealer sections

1. Bucket wall

Use KD-120E as the everyday bucket, KD-120 Platinum as the step-up bucket, KD-154 as the small bucket, and KD-134 hangers as the add-on.

Anchor the section with the KD-115 Stall Fork. Add KD-135, KD-139, KD-140, replacement heads, and replacement handles to create a complete tool wall.

How to merchandise the wall

Do not merchandise K&D alphabetically.

Merchandise by job. Customers do not walk in asking for an internal product map. They walk in needing to hang a bucket, clean a trailer, replace a fork head, organize a tack room, feed a horse, or protect a hat.

Use good / better / repair language.

For buckets, KD-120E is the everyday Silver Line choice and KD-120 is the Platinum Line step-up. For cleanup, KD-115 is the full-size fork, compact forks handle smaller jobs, and replacement parts keep tools working longer.

Make add-ons obvious.

Bucket hangers should live beside buckets. Replacement heads and handles should live beside forks. Feed scoops should live beside tubs and feeders. Totes should live near grooming and trailer gear.

Dealer FAQ

What should a new K&D dealer order first?

Start with KD-120E, KD-120, KD-134, KD-115, KD-115 replacement head, replacement handles, KD-140, KD-121, KD-136, KD-166, KD-127, KD-116, KD-174, and KD-231.

Should dealers stock replacement heads and handles?

Yes. Replacement parts make the K&D fork line stronger because customers can repair high-use tools instead of replacing the entire setup.

What is the easiest shelf story?

Build sections by job: bucket wall, cleanup tools, replacement parts, feeding gear, grooming organization, trailer setup, and travel storage.

What page should staff use for product questions?

Use the Barn Gear FAQ as the staff answer hub.
