Kioti vs Branson vs JD

Well...

hmm, don't know what to say...


My new Kioti CK 35 with KL130B loader will be here tomorrow at 10AM, full of fuel.

You made a good choice. Enjoy and be safe.

I don't think I'd pay close to 20k for a CK35. Maybe that's just me, but I payed right around 21k for my DK45 if I'm not mistaken. I'd have to go back and look at the paper work but at the very least you should be able to get the crowd favorite DK40 for close to that much.

I agree with this.I paid $18000 with a $1000 rebate for my 2008 Kioti Dk40 se with fel.coobie

That was quick . . .

Indeed. I had planned to buy in three to six months. Knowing pretty much the features I like and dislike from running other pieces of equipment, surfing these forums, and the internet in general worked in my favor, but it is still unnerving to "jump" into something so quick.

We expect lots of pictures of your tractor's arrival to its new home.

Well, here is the old tractor and the new tractor.

People have been asking me what I am going to do with the old one, and I've been saying:
"What's better than a tractor?"

"Two tractors!"

But, I'll probably sell the yanmar. Maybe.

I'm having to wait a week to get the new box blade, but that won't stop me from moving dirt. The only attachment that won't really carry over from the yanmar to the kioti is the XB 4ft box blade. I was really susprised how well the yanmar tiller hooked up on the new tractor; I was worked that the driveshaft would be too short and/or it would rub the wheels when raised, but everything came out fine

Good looking tractor! Enjoy!
