I've been shopping for a new tractor. One of the tractors I'm considering is the Kioti DK65S ROPS model. It seems like a nice tractor and the couple I drove ran well.
I'm a bit confused about the loaders though. I have talked to 4 different Kioti dealers so far. The 2 closest dealers to me put Bush Hog loaders on the DK65S and say they are a better loader then the Kioti loader. They say they are stronger and you can pysically see the difference in strength. One puts the Bush Hog M546 and the other puts the newer model 5045 on. The other 2 dealers put Kioti loaders on and say they are good loaders and don't even give the option of the Bush Hog loader (the biggest reason probably being they aren't Bush Hog dealers).
I've never seen a Kioti loader on a DK65S in person, since my local dealers have Bush Hog loaders on their Kioti tractors. I did notice the Kioti loader is self leveling and the Bush Hog isn't.
So which loader is better? Why?
The best quoted prices so far is $29K for either loader from different dealers. This is before the $1,550 rebate from Kioti, so out the door price would be $27,450. Can I do better?
