Hello from NW DFW

[aTexasYankee]

I just realized there was a member intro spot, apologies.

Been lurking over the past year quite a bit when I started researching CUTs. I ended up with a Kioti CK30 shuttle with a FEL and a 5' Howse BB in July of last year. Just bought a used RC and a new landscape rake this week. Tractor only has about 70 hours on it but I am very thankful for it as it's been helping me greatly on my little 5 acre homestead.

Looking forward to learning more and eventually being able to help others. This on top of my guns is one expensive way of life! But I like it.

Welcome - I'm in Fort Worth, but property in central Texas. Did you buy your tractor at E&E? Mark seems to be a pretty straight shooter.

I sure did! Mark is a great guy and so is everyone. I know the staff there as I've been in and out over the past month a lot. Would HIGHLY recommend them. Love the Kioti, too. I looked at a lot of different brands and really thought Kioti was best for the money, especially after using it, and the service from E&E is hard to beat. I wasn't going to get a 4x4, Mark talked me into (thank heavens!). He also advised me on HST vs Shuttle and I'm glad I went shuttle.

E&E did the 50 hour service for part cost only (no labor, only cost of fluids, filters etc.). They said they prefer it so they can make sure everything is running properly and adjust everything as needed. Although I think I would like to adjust my clutch personally as I feel their adjustment is too much over travel.
Other places charge a lot for 50 hour service. Acquaintance of mine said his dealer wanted $550 for his Massey.

aTY, yes, Mark seems to be a great guy. I am very happy and no regrets, but if I would have visited them before buying, I may have ended up with Kioti, but had already purchased my Kubota. I am kicking tires on trailers and will probably buy from Mark. I will say, mine is ready for 50 hour and I got no discount offer from my dealer, so I plan on doing myself. Not as big a deal though, mine is geared tractor, so not as many filters.
