<font color="blue">I don't believe Kioti offeres the HST yet, I may be wrong my wife tells me I have been in the past </font>

Randy, Your wife is correct. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif The CK20 is available in Hydrostat. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif See Dewaves link at the bottom of his post. The newest additions are the CK25 HST and CK30 HST (also available in gear), slated to arrive this summer.

GerardC Where I lived kubota as a strong market it seems every where you look you see kubota. But I must admit you see alot of JD NH MF. Kioti is almost none existing nevertheless I fond a dealer. I look at all tractor brands but conpared closely kubota to kioti. kioti came on top for the fine crafmanship and the smooth running diesel engine and reasonable price I fell that its as reliable as any tractor and would never regret the purchase. GOOD LUCK gag

Hi Gerard and welcome to TBN,
I have owned both Kubota(L2650) and now a DK45 Kioti . Both are very good tractors and my old Kubota give me good service until the day I sold it . It also sold for what I had paid for it 4 years earlier . They do keep there value ,if you take good care of them . I think this can be said of all good tractors , if you take care and maintain them correctly .
I was more impressed with the Kioti vs. the Kubota when I decided to buy a new tractor recently. Kubota is a very established Company and you do pay for the Kubota name ,to a certain amount .It is also a great tractor . After reserching the Kioti and comparing apples to apples, I realized that Kioti is here to stay, so I made my purchase . I have not regretted it and honestly do not think I ever will .
Try them both ,then decide on what you want your tractor to do.Ask lots of questions before you sign on the dotted line . There are a lot of options on Kioti and Kubota and you should be able to find one that fits your needs .

bigal is correct about "if you take care and maintain them correctly".
Grease, oil, and filters are cheap, cheap, cheap. Common sense go a long way also.
Almost all the "modern" small tractors will last a life time and be passed down to the next generation.

nothing runs like a deere when a Kioti is after it.
