Seems I have gone full circle in looking at and comparing tractors. I started out looking at the kioti and mahindra then decided to buy a kubota, now reconsidering.
I liked the mahindra 4110 but decided I wanted a little more hp. Looked at the kioti dk45 then migrated to the kubota l5030, which I do like. Now I saw a dk55 (didn't have it in stock when I saw the dk45). It has more hp, more weight, larger, more comfortable platform than the kubota and it is cheaper. Don't know how either will hold up.
Has anyone compared the dk55 (no cab) kioti to the kubota 5030? I like the sound of the kubota's engine better. Everyone I talk to says the kubota will retain its resale value better than the kioti; I am more interested in longevity of operation than resale. I like the price, size and weight of the kioti. Both dealers are close to where I live and both APPEAR to be good dealers so that is not a factor in decision.
Any comments?
