Buying Advice Kubota L3800 vs Kioti DK35 se

[MtnViewRanch]

Well I made my choice today, traded in the L3400HST for a new DK35se.
should have it in about a week and a half.

Did I miss something? When were you looking at a DK35? :confused3: I bet when you get it you will be one happy camper. :cool2:

Allright!!! Congrats. Glad you could pull it off..:thumbsup:

Thank you guys for your input! I made my mind up on the kioti and a woods bush hog, tiller, pallet forks and rear quick hitch! David A Banks in Georgetown was the dealer, great sales from mark and great service from lee and stu in the shop!

Why a quick hitch??

Why a quick hitch??

It's quick and easy!!:thumbsup:

Congrats on the purchase and welcome to the pack!

Quick hitch because switching from bush hog to tiller is fast and easy. Saves a ton of time because the way the fields are laid out I have 10 feet between crops for loading trucks etc so I can till and mow and go back tilling in minutes

You also get Q.T. on the loader which is optional on the Kubota.

What is QT? I know I will be like - Duh, but I am making the same exact purchase here.... Was about to Sign on a L3800, but saw the Kioti, now see BobCat and the third brand that is made by Daedong.... Can't remember the name... What to Choose?

James, Did you do a HST or a Manual Gear Kioti?

Everybody has their preferences but it usually comes down to the dealer. Talk to the dealers and try to get some references.

Myself and many others have found LS tractors to be really good for the money. But it would still come down to if you had a good LS dealer over there.

He is probabally refering to the quick attach. AKA: QA or SS QA

Why, hydrostat of course! I do mostly loader work, and a lot of building rock walls, etc.. Hydro is the only game in town for that. MtnViewRanch, I had to set my sights a little lower with the DK35se instead of the DK40se to afford the deal, plus the wife like the DK35se a little better, as it is easier for her to get on and off.
