Markie,
How about this from a dealer in Texas.
Kioti 3054 shifting fork for the transmission.
Went for less than $35.00 to the customer/retail a couple of days ago, I just happen to remember that for some reason.
Kubota ring gear in a small L210 (?) aprox 30hp tractor???
$1150, dealer cost.
Value of a L210 Kubota in rough but running condition??? $1400.00 at best.
What else can I say.
JMHO and experiance we have had with "The Other Orange Brand".
Try this experiment!
Call the dealers of each brand and ask what a spacific part cost and try that cost comparison and time required for delivery.
Ask about a clutch cost or filters, them are common parts.

Where was the Kioti dealer located? Seems like all are more than 45 minutes away from NoVa.

Hey, Dummy (and I mean that in the NICEST possible way...[img]/w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif[/img]!)
The Kioti dealer I saw was in Haymarket, Virginia just off of I-66 I'd guess about 15-20 miles outside the beltway. Dealership goes by the name of McCarty. Real nice and real knowledgeable. He also sells the Long Agribusiness line.

Thanks. When I saw Haymarket (on the Kioti site) for some reason I was thinking it was closer to Winchester than DC.
