I looked at JD and to be honest I have always wanted one. Growing up it's all I ever saw in the fields around here. I can't afford JD. Similar machines from the what some would call the second tier OEM's are THOUSANDS less. If all the money is going overseas anyway, I have no problem buying a tractor with a foreign name on it.

Good luck with your decision. I don't know much about the two you're looking at but you've got at least one person on here who has owned both (Kioti version anayway) and is willing to offer his opinion, which is what you seem to be looking for.
