Ken, just read your thread. Quite a bit of size difference!
Just what do you do with that beast??? 3 acres... And it looks pretty well manicured, to me ( laughing)
Go big, or go home.....right?

I saw that your post in the Mahindra wasn't getting any responses. Thought to myself: that's because when a potential Mahindra buyer looks at Kioti.... they are no longer a Mahindra buyer :D. Just kidding. I like the Mahindras almost as well. I think the Kioti is a little more refined, but that's a subjective thing.Quote:

I say get the one with the best deal and best dealer.
hmmm, I was hoping you guys might have some ideas for me :laughing: I went out to the shelter and took a look at it again tonight and had pretty much the same thought you did, "just what the heck am I going to do with this beast???".Quote:

My first year I got about 100 hrs seat time on my JD 955, the next year with the CK I racked up another 158, that's a lot of trips around my 3 acres!
I considered Kioti when I was buying, but my interest was the 70HP range, open station, heavy, hi capacity hydraulics, 2 speed PTO. The 7520 fit those best.Quote:

Now that they bumped up to the 80hp class it is a different story, several machines that are about equal other than weight.Quote:

Let us know what you decide. One important tip.....go drive them both...then decide which one suits your fancy. If they won't let you demo them, find a dealer that will.
MtnView, Actually I was hoping to hear why someone chose one over the other, as the specs are pretty close on both. I'm really on the fence.Quote:

I did get to drive the Mahindra, but not the Kioti, as of yet. Stopped by a small Kioti dealer in Louisiana this week, but no one was there to help. Owner was out at his farm??Quote:
