When I was tractor shopping I came real close to buying the ck30/35. I was quoted the same price for the ck30 as the 'bota l3400 and the ck35 was $600.00 more. I went with the 'bota, and glad I did, only because the dealer went out of business (I wonder why) and the next Kioti dealer is over 200 miles away.
If the Kioti dealer would have just beaten the 'bota by a grand or so, I would be driving a different colored orange, and he would probably still be in business
