Trying to choose between two options, both about the same price:
(1) New Kioti DK40SE open station with HST, Ag tires
(2) 2008 Kubota M6040 open station with about 400 hours, R4 tires, hydraulic shuttle
Both are 4x4.
Both have a loader with a quick attach bucket.
Both weigh about the same according to specs.
Intended use will be farm maintenance, about 10 acres in one location and 40 acres in another location 20 miles away. Mowing pastures, feeding round bales, grading farm lanes, grooming riding arena, drilling post holes, clearing brush (grapple work), spreading gravel, plowing snow.
The M6040 is more powerful, has larger tires and a larger frame, and a much larger loader bucket with a nice welded on cutting edge. The DK40SE is more compact and maneuverable with the Hydro trans, but has a lot less PTO horsepower and has smaller tires.
