A part of the "myth" that EVs eat tires may be due to the Tesla X. That particular car uses different sizes of tires for the front and rear, so it is impossible to rotate as would "normally" be done. My buddy has a Tesla X and is lucky to get 25k out of his tires. So, in that case an EV does...

That was an awesome post Mike!

Why would you post that with a question about it being an EV? Are you daft? It is an older Mazda sitting at a gas pump. Apparently, you hate EVs and will do anything to discredit them. Unreal.

I got rid of that vibrating and shaking Kubota. Could not be happier with my Kioti, although I have minimal hours on it so far.

I have never bought into the resale value reasoning. I buy a piece of equipment to fit my needs and wants. I purchased a CX2510 with a cab about two months ago. I love it so far, but I have very few hours on due to lack of snow up here. When I purchased mine, the sales guy pushed me hard to...

Funny. I have a set of forks and use them a lot to move logs, steel, pallets of crap, etc. When we moved to our new house, the wife palletized everything, and I loaded the pallets into the semi with my tractor. When the new house was done and ready to move into, we brought the semi back, and I...

I will say it again. He clearly stated he wanted a cab. I am hardly being a butt about anything. I am sure that Barry has probably seen tractors without cabs. What I don't get is someone coming into a thread and saying there is no way you could pay him to have a cab. Ok. What does that...

He clearly stated he wanted a cab. Who cares you worked in a factory your whole life. Let me say it again, he wants a cab. Why don't you get it?

Maybe he has worked outside his whole life and you couldn't pay him to sweat, freeze or be rained on. Sheesh.

Maybe he will actually be careful. Maybe owns a semi. Maybe his woods are all tall oaks. Maybe he will clear pathways with a chainsaw first. Maybe he... He rightfully wants a cab.

I had R4's but now have R14's. I like the R14's.

Hey Barry: I believe you are on the right track with the LS MT347. For what you are planning on doing, that size seems like a good fit. Since you have time before your house is done, fully check out the competitors such as TYM, Bobcat, Kioti. None of them are fly-by-night or sold out of the...

@New property RE: Treadle peddle vs dual peddles. I have had both; honestly, it is whatever you get used to. The one thing I didn't like is if you do extended reverse operations, such as a 3-point mounted snow blower, it got to be rather tiresome to hold your heel down continuously. If I...

I have been through the same journey as you. I originally had a Kubota BX2380, which I really liked. At the time I had 1.5 acres but did a lot of landscaping due to it being a new house build for us. We (the wife and I) built a "water feature" in our backyard. It was 100 ft long and...

I have owned two Kubotas. Just traded my small-ish B2601 in on a Kioti CX2510 cab. Could not be happier. The tractor seems to be significantly better than my Kubota in so many regards. If you have a Kioti dealer within a couple of hours, I would seriously look at the CK or DK line. I, too...

Is that a Kioti bucket or aftermarket?

Following up on this thread. I did purchase and take delivery of a new CX2510. It took longer than it should have because the sales dude was incapable of following through with anything. For the most part, I am extremely happy with it. It seems that it is built very well and it feels larger...

Me too! I just purchased my CX2510.

To a point, I agree. However, this Kioti dealer could put a lot more money in the owner's pocket if they had a decent sales guy. They are moving into a new building and a new location right on the main drag so they are committed to growing, but that will be difficult with the current...

There probably is, but I really don't want to do that. I feel that the CX is going to be the perfect size for me, especially since the B2601 has served my needs so far. I do realize that the CK is a lot more tractor for not a lot more money, but one can keep rationalizing that argument until...

One other thing that I should mention... The store manager came out to my house today and spent two hours BS about equipment and etc. He answered all of my questions and concerns with straightforward candor that appealed to me. Parts availability was addressed and by the sounds of it, that is...

Thank you for that data point. My Kubota is one mph slower in the Low range but one mph faster in mid-range. Basically, it splits the difference. I believe that I would be fine with the low on the Kioti. This has actually become somewhat of a moot point because I committed to buy the CX2510...

The two-speed HST transmission is the only concern I really have. That being said, I test-drove one, and the lower range was just fine. I would like to find a real tech sheet spec on both tractors for comparison that would for example compare the top-end speed of the low range on Kioti vs the...

Hello Everyone: I have been a Kubota owner for quite a few years, starting with a BX2380 and now a B2601. I loved my BX2380 and ended up with about 350 hours on it before selling and upgrading to the B2601. I had 1.5 acres when I owned the BX2380, but now own 22 acres of all woods. I have...

I am in the same boat as @Templecruiser . I went and looked at a Kioti this past week. The salesman kept pushing me towards the CK2520, but it is quite a bit of a tractor. It is like he didn't even want to talk about the CX. An analogy that I could think of was going into a car dealer...

@RandyT Sorry to hear about your friend. Preface to the following story... I grew up on a large farm and we used wood to heat both the house and shop. My current shop also has wood heat, although I did plumb it for in-floor heat. I'm tempted to buy a boiler for it this fall so I don't...

It's called experience. Sorry your feelings got hurt.

@2515R Dude . If you read @teesquare's post and @Yanmar VIO's posts, they are spot on. Ignore the rest of the idiotic posts from guys that have no idea what they are talking about nor have the same level of expectations that you do. The second house that I built had a large exposed aggregate...

That is a complete bullcrap post. That kind of attitude just blows my mind. It DOES matter to the OP. Maybe you like to have your stuff look like crap, but a lot of people don't. The guy paid for a job and did not get what he paid for.

Hello All: I have a JD425 AWS with about 450 hours on it. Last year it worked well for the most part but occasionally I would have to give the PTO engage knob a good pull to get the mower to work. This spring, I discovered that the mower will not operate at all. If you pull the PTO knob up...

Hello everyone: I am building a new house up here in Northwest Wisconsin which means my 1.5 acre lot (not all of it lawn though) will need mowing, my 140 foot driveway will need to be plowed or blown and other assorted tasks will need to be done. Which means I NEED a garden tractor...
