Just have to add my 2 cents here. Long time kubota owner hat recently made the switch to Kioti. Dk45se. Comparable kubota was thousands more. Feels very solid. Love the features. I now have 35 hours on in about 3 weeks. The problem. It has been to the dealer 3 times now, and once they came out. All very minor, but broke is broke. The fitting on the power steering cylinder was cross threaded from the factory, and had a slight drip. They replaced the whole cylinder. Problem was it came from South Korea. Took 3 weeks. Tractor still worked fine, but had to wait. Next. Doing a shredding job and the pin that connected the 3 point arm broke. When it fell down it hit the valve stem and broke it off. Load the tractor, drive 105 miles to the dealer. They fixed it and put the tire back on. Back to work. The next day, 2 hours in, same thing. You know the rest. Replaced the pins with a sturdy bolt and all has been fine. 2 days ago. The coupling for the bucket lift came undone. They came out and fixed it. Is it just me??!! The dealer is about 15 miles from my house, and has bent over backwards too make things right. No complaints on the dealer. Anyone else having his luck? Hopefully the bugs are worked out
