I considered a Kioti 45 (the HST one) with a cab and all the frills. I almost did it, but had to leave on a business trip and when I got back, the dealer that I had been working with had been stripped of his Kioti dealership.
It was a great deal price-wise, but too much tractor for my property. I bought a Kubota L-3700SU and haven't looked back. Can't beat Kubota for resale value, reliability and customer support, in my opinion. I guess JD matches in those categories, but since they don't make the tractors themselves they have to mark them up and they tend to be more expensive for similar tractors.
