WELCOME TO THE FORUM: kioti as i understand it makes a pretty nice unit. i would advise tho, that before u buy anything make sure u can get it serviced nearby, even a minor warrenty job can be a pain if there is no place to get it done. is ther a LONG dealer near you? i took a look at then and they are pretty nice, some features i liked, some i did not, but same with all name brands. nice area u live in! do quite a bit of hunting around NORWICH. GOOD LUCK.
