I'm guessing that most ppl in this forum favor the Kioti, but let's run this.
I will be moving to a new home in 3 weeks. The lot is 7 acres - 1.5 lawn / 2.5 former hay field / 2 forest / 1 low area. The primary function will be to mow 75% (I do plan to try to convert the former hay field to lawn). I will also be using the tractor for other stuff (will be building shed/patio/play ground/fence and some landscaping).
Prices:
JD 2210 W/ FEL & 62" MMM - $13,200 (0% for 2yrs)
Kioti CK20HST W/ FEL = $13,000 (0% for 3yrs)
- plus $2700 For 60" MMM (isn't this a lot)
- or $1000 For 60" Rear Mower (dealer says works better than MMM)
-- Dealer say CK20 is smaller (but heavier) then JD2210 and that the comparable Kioti is a LB1914 (No HST avail)
LB1914 W/ FEL - $12,000 (0% for 3 yrs)
- same mower options as CK20
Any pointers or comparisons would be helpful. Don't both Kioti's have full Cat 1 PTO?
