from what ive read your qs have been answered.now all you have tobe is drive both tractors an see wich best fitts you.i noticed you was wanting the telascoping 3pt,an you can get that by looking at the kub MX4700.
While I think the 4400 would do what you want I think you would be better off moving up the the M line, say either MX or a M5040. I don't think the price difference will be too much and it'll give you a beefier machine to brush hog with.
I recently considered Kubota L3400, L3540 vs Kioti CK35 and DK35 (all HST's, loaders, and industrial tires). I too, decided the L3540 offered much more over the L3400 which is a basic tractor not that much more sophisticated than my current Kubota L275DT.
I thought the Kioti CK35 was somewhere in between the Kubota L3400 and L3540 in features (but closer to the L3540) and the DK35 and L3540 similar. But the L3540 has a more sophisticated HST transmission, a stronger dealer network (at least in Canada) and higher brand recognition.
If prices were close I would have gone with the L3540. But the DK35 was about $22,500 vs the L3540 $28,000 so I purchased the DK35SE HST.
The DK35 deal was helped by the current "free loader" event and a competing offer from Bobcat for a "demo" 2010 CT335 with 9 hrs and full warranty (the CT335 is a rebranded Kioti DK35).
I went for the DK35 over the CK35 because of the beefier frame that I feel might give it some additional ability to handle the loader stresses. The DK35 is also 38 hp vs the DK35's 34 hp.
I'm usually the first to notice that too! Whoops.Did any of you notice the L4400 vs DK45 thread is almost 3 years old

Either way, the specs are from today's tractors and the Kioti is still stronger.No offense, but when I said "those of you whe quoted" I was actually talking specifically about you:laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing:

Last I checked, everyone pronounced it Kah-bota not Q-bota...And atleast it is pronounced the way it is spelled too:confused2:
