Buying Advice The final 3, nh work master 60, jd 5065e, kioti rx 6620

[Herschel3]

After much agonizing and almost purchasing the 5065e I pumped the brakes, opened the process back up & I allowed myself to get back into paralysis by analysis mode! So, basically I am looking for opinions on the three tractors that made the final cut. The jd is the most expensive(go figure), the kioti rx6620 is in the middle and the new holland is a "hold over" 2016 work master 60 and it's at a great price. All are 4wd, the wm60 is a sync shuttle 8x8, the 5065e is the 9x3 and the kioti I can get with the power shuttle or the mechanical shuttle. I'm thinking that unless jd can offer me something easier to operate (I have a lot of loader work to do) and drop the price they're out. So that would leave the new holland and the kioti. Would I be going wrong with either of these tractors? I should mention that the kioti dealer is three hours awayand he's a single dealership. The new holland guy has 15 affiliate stores (2 of which are an hour away). JD has ten affiliates (with 3 stores roughly 45 minutes away). Nothing closer than that for any brand. This is our first tractor purchase, we have a jd 1026r that came with the house purchase and its not near big enough to take care of our 50 acres. We are trying to make the right decision and any help and advice is much appreciated. Thanks

Without writing a book about pros and cons of each machine, I most likely would get the Kioti. Not sure if I would go hydraulic shuttle or not. I have read that there is lag time shifting from forward-reverse on some of these and that may or may not bother you. I am currently use to a manual shuttle and think nothing of going back and forth.

One thing I will comment on is more gears are better. = Kioti @ 12x12

I think I would've already pulled the trigger on the kioti if they weren't three hours away! I do like it the best so far and I'm trying to come to grips with the distance factor.

I bought my first "new" tractor from the other side of the country. 12 years later have never needed the dealer for anything.

I looked at about everything but Kioti & LS. I bought a WM 60 and really like it, happy with my choice.

There is no way I would buy one brand over the other because of the distance to the dealer.
So for me the 12x12 would be the way I would go.

Don’t get the Deere with the 9/3 for loader work. Spend the extra 2k and get the power reverser 12/12. You’ll also get a wet clutch and epto

I've owned a WM 50 for a year and a half and like it a lot. No issues thus far. New Holland did a good job that product. I personally would have preferred a wet clutch but at their price point it is not an option. If the Kioti was priced reasonably close to the WM that is what I would choose. The capabilities of the machines are similar.

Hi,

Three of the guys I work with have 3510 and NX&DX 4510 Kiotis, We have Mahindra and I just got a new Deere 5085E Loader. I can tell you from running two of the above brand professionally that I will go New Holland every time just because of their service and parts operation. With our Deere units, tractors and skid steers are good equipment but what takes Deere a week New Holland has in a day or two, easy parts lookup, clean, well packaged and always delivered before the estimate like the Gator blades I ordered on thurs and were overnighted and arrived friday. Fiat paid the Fedex for the entire dealer order. Needless to say I have two Boomers. Otherwise i would try Kioti.

Kioti guy upped the ante and offered the rx7320 for the same price as the rx6620, so I pulled the trigger on the 7320, thanks for all the input
