It's time to replace my aging MF 1010 and upgrade to a FEL and maybe HST. I've looked at John Deer, Case, MF, Kubota, and New Holland and I must say I've been disappointed with them all when compared to how heavily built my 1010 is for an 18HP compact tractor. Even with loaders the weight of these new ones doesn't equal the weight of the 1010. With that said I had narrowed down my selection to two until I found this site yesterday and discovered the Kioti brand. Everything I have read and heard about them sounds good and it might be as heavily built as my 1010
So now my options are the New Holland TZ22 for $10,000, the Kubota B7610 for $13,500, or the Kioti CK20 for $12,700.
I have 3.5 acres of flat land built around my 1010 so I can't really get something bigger than the ones above. I like to lift and move really heavy things around my property and pull RR tie fence posts out of the ground. I do plenty of pasture mowing this time of year as well. Oh, I always seem to get my tractor into positions where I only have two or three wheels touching the ground at times. So one that will take stress well is a plus!
I hope someone can help me hurry up and spend this money before something else comes along and takes it.
