Kind of New Kioti Owner

[Mike2012]

Was not going to post until I had a picture. It was delivered July 28 but have only gotten 6 hours of seat time with most of that playing with the backhoe. Picked up qa pallet forks also which came in handy cleaning up a tree that fell. Started out looking at a MF 2605 which just seemed uncomfortable sitting on it. Went to look at Mahindras and there were these orange Kiotis. Never heard of them but really liked them. Was looking at a DK50se but when the dealer questioned me as to what I wanted to do with it he suggested that I take a look at a CK35 that he had. So far I think he was right and the CK35 was a better fit and left me with enough to get the backhoe. Also picked up a 6ft KK tiller that Rural King had on sale but have not hooked that up to try yet. Murphy1244 - bought it from Medina Tractor. I see they seemed to have dropped the Mahindra line.
CK35HST with backhoe was $26200(cash sale) plus sales tax.

Nice machine Mike, Did not know about Mahindra. Was told they were not selling. Who was your salesman?

Hi murphy - Mark Alten was my main salesman. He just started there and I think I was his first sale since he started. I spoke with the other two that are there also but dont remember their names. It was one of the other ones that said he would not be mad if I bought the dk but thought the ck would do everything I wanted to do. In talking to them I thought the fading paint and surface rust on the rims of the mahindras didnt say much for them and they seemed unhappy with the mahindra reps. I looked at what Keifer had and just liked the Kiotis. Medina Tractor just seemed like a good dealer to deal with. I just noticed last time I went by the dealership that the mahindras were gone and a bunch more Kiotis on the lot.
Thanks to everyone else for the welcome.

Hey Mike, You know where I could find a MF 135 Diesel?

 

[Mike2012]

Sorry murphy I dont. Actually I was looking for a mf 35 or 135 or ford 2000 or 3000 for a more modern tractor and was having no luck. Either junk or high priced. Thats when I decided to get something I could enjoy and not work on constantly. I like my old tractors but it sure is nice to get on the new one and do what I want when I want.
