Mikos,

Another TBN'er from the great NW - glad to see it. I'm a bit further up north but was in your neighborhood two weeks ago picking up a puppy.

I like your response for your time saving comparison. [img]/w3tcompact/icons/clever.gif[/img] Well thought out but.....I think your comparison might need some more qualification. For example you might want to compare the exact same tractor with the hydro vs. without the hydro. I doubt you'd find it to be a $4000 difference in any case. Most of the models I shopped had only about $1500.00 difference in price.

The reason your specific tractor might have been $4000 less is mainly due to the fact that the Kioti brand simply sells for significantly less money. (Good tractors - they just cost less.)
