kubota vs. kioti

Wait til morning when most of the rest of the world is up, and this thread will light up again. Now where is that deer and popcorn animation I saw in another thread...

Kioti is a fine tractor at 200hrs. At 800, 1000hrs they will start to fall apart. I have had two friends witht them, one the engine threw a rod at 350hrs, the other had the transmission bust, mowing his lawn! Thats not quality. After 5 years, then you will see why people buy John Deere, Kubota, CNH/Ls. They hold up. IF well maintained they will still run like new. A kioti no matter how well maintained and taken care of will start to fall apart after a few hundred hours.

What a ridiculous statement IMHO! Sure would like to see the "proof!" Any tractor manufacturer, w/ few exceptions, will have issues/problems. It's a statistical fact. That said, if your statements are true, how well were the machines maintained and how were they used/abused?

I'm betting there aren't too many physicists reading this thread. There is at least one, however, as I am one.

This thread has me laughing and crying at the same time. I think a few of you guys are trying to say the same thing, but there is some kind of impedance mismatch preventing you from agreeing on the details, i.e. you're really just arguing over semantics.

There have been a lot of incorrect statements about power / torque / force / work / energy and the relationship between these units. It would take hours for me to write a post addressing them all but, if you want to ask specific questions about the physics, I will try to give simple concise answers. On the other hand, I won't take offense if you tell me to buzz off.

Impedence mismatch? As in SWR? (Standing Wave Ratio) as in Incident power vs Reflected power?.. I try to keep my Impedence mismatches all resistive and below 1.5 to 1

Here you go..God knows it is applicable to this thread for sure!

Agree, I have an MTD built lawn mower that is almost 14 yrs. old and is still going strong. Lots of so called experts would swear an MTD would never last more than 5-6 years. It's maintenance and use. Any machine will fail if abused.

Mahindra paint fades fastest. JD the slowest cause it cost the most.

Plus when a JD fades, it just turns into an Oliver.

You can have mechanical impedance mismatch too. Same principle as as our SWR.

Oh, and if anyone want's to know, in the Kubota vs Kioti debate: Kioti wins almost every time unless you are talking hydro transmissions, then Kubota has them beat. And if you are talking 3pt hitches... well... let's not go there!:devil::laughing:

All in good fun guys, all in good fun.!
No Kubota's or Kioti's were actually harmed in this discussion.

Yep. Too much of one poster's "signal" is reflected when it reaches another poster. The receiver's impedance probably is too "reactive."
