Hi Boyup
I'm in Central West, NSW and just got a Kioti (i.e. Daedong) just a few months ago. So far have only 15 hours on it. I looked at lots of brands and most were good but it came down to what the two closest dealers sold and supported. The Kioti is made by Daedong which is a South Korean brand. Daedong have been making diesel engines for quite a few decades. Their engineering expertise and quality control is like Japans - very good. I'm certainly very pleased with mine. I expect the brand to be around for quite a while and given its quality should hold its value quite well. If your buying new then try to buy from a dealer that is close by and your happy with. All tractors, like cars and washing machines, can have problems when 10 of thousands or more are produced each year. A good dealer should support you well over the warranty period and beyond. As for the tractor, mine performs really well, its easy to use, and looks good too
