A few weeks ago I took delivery of my new Kioti after 20 years of moving snow with a JD 790 w/ front snow blower. The JD was a great tractor, it never let me down, but I'm at the age where I want the comfort of a heated cab so I went searching. I began my search by visiting my nearest Deere dealer, I was looking at a 3039R (?) but between lack of availability and sticker shock I decided to expand my search.
So as you can see I bought a Kioti and since delivery I've been waiting for some serious snow and finally got it. Right now I'm extremely pleased with the setup. I got the 66" blower and it moves through the snow with no hesitation. The Cab keeps me cozy warm and moves enough air to keep the glass defogged. The cab mounted lights for night work is awesome, I can see very clearly.
If this tractor is anywhere near as reliable as my Deere was I'm going to be a happy owner!
