It's good thing I found this one because I very nearly considered a Kioti CK4010 because it had a lot of features I liked, like a similar loader control, two way hydro pedals, nice seat, high loader lift capacity, $22K price tag, and a few other things. This older L3540 is a much nicer machine though, even though it's an older model. Also was worried about dealer support because we have a good Kubota dealership here and the Kioti dealer is a small outfit with one mobile mechanic servicing 3 towns, etc. and I was worried about parts and support if needed.
