Comparison kubota/ kioti specs and experience

[DK35vince]

Well my loader controls on my Kioti is a as smooth as a baby's bottom, and with my increased pump flow rate, I have enough flow to curl and lift at the same time

Same with mine.

Purchase a skid loader.

My front curl and lift are smooth and fluid also. Can run both at same time without issue. When I purchased mine the similar cabbed Kubota was 9 grand more for unit with same specs, but the Kubota didn’t come with rear wiper or rear remotes. They were extra.

Well my loader controls on my Kioti is a as smooth as a baby's bottom, and with my increased pump flow rate, I have enough flow to curl and lift at the same time, unlike the low flow rate in the Kubota it replaced. And don't EVEN get me started on the jerky 3pt hitch that Kubota puts on their so called "Standard L" models. And when the Regional Kubota rep tells you in a courtesy phone call that "if you had wanted a smooth 3pt control you should have bought a Grand L" That was the last straw. I bought a Kioti and swapped in the Kubota Standard L. If you would like to google Jerky 3pt hitch and the thousands of posts about that on Standard L series Kubota tractors feel free. It was a great topic of discussion here on TBN a few years ago, but I see you joined in June of this year, so you would not likely know about that.

Quote a figure for the flow rate. I have yet to see a published number. Or are you speaking of things you don't know?

Why would I know about a model that I didn't buy or even test drive? My 3pt has a flow control right under the seat and it allows my 3pt to operate as smooth as milk chocolate spread over a hookers breasts on a hot summer night.

Look I wasn't even attacking you, sorry if you took it that way, I thought the comment about brain rot was incredibly rude and unnecessary.

Think he was implying that post wasnt helpful. Which I agree.

And your post is helpful??? Troll much?

I test drove a Kioti, and no matter what I did, the loader was jerky moving up and down. So then I went to the Kubota dealer and fell in love with an mx5200. True story.

Pretty much same story here... The Kioti just didn't feel right. Sorry folks. And BTW, all of my Kubota's run, work, and perform flawlessly... Does that help any?

OOOOKAAAY. Speaking of things I don't know huh?.. Your just digging a hole deeper my friend. See the spec sheet below. By the way the 3pt knob right under you seat has NOTHING to do with making the 3pt lift smoothly. It is the drop rate control that allows fluid from your 3pt. cylinder to drain back into your "tank" which is the transmission cavity of your tractor. When I spoke of the Standard L Jerky hitch I was referring to the MLS valve of the 3 point itself NOT the drop rate control which is nothing more than a bleed valve. Your 3pt drops TOTALLY under the influence of gravity and nothing else. All you are doing when you are adjusting that valve is adjusting the rate that the fluid drains, or if you turn it all the way to the right it totally blocks the flow of the fluid. This is useful for transporting a heavy implement on a bumpy road with less stress on the 3pt.

I DID NOT make the comment directed to MR WOLFE about brain rot. I am innocent I tell ya.

AS the highlighted text shows. below the TOTAL flow of the Hydraulic implement pump. However like almost all of the rest of them it is divided into two sections. One section is dedicated to the power steering which is just over 5 GPM and the second sections flows first to the loader and then out the power beyond connector to the remotes (OF WHICH ALL of the DK series is by default equipped with one, which is another benefit of a Kioti and a KUBOTA Standard L is equipped with ZERO by default) and then on to the 3pt. The DK35se (my tractor) is just slightly under 10 GPM, which compares to the about 6GPM for the L3400 Kubota it replaces. Almost ALL compact tractors work this way,

I Don't know why anyone would want to argue about the Kubota I had and the Kioti I have now. There is NO question about the FACTS I stated about the Kioti having more fluid flow, more weight, heavier axles and many many more features for about the same money as a Standard L tractor. (I gave $19,200 including the sun shade) These are just facts they are not debatable. HOWEVER as I pointed out in my first post, we are comparing apples and oranges here. Or oranges and oranges . The Standard L tractors even though the horsepower is comparable, the Kioti is built more like the GRAND L series of tractors and do not directly compete against Standard L tractors. They compete in SOME peoples minds that create spreadsheets and lists. The WHOLE point of my post was to say that these list's that newbys create DO NOT tell the whole story. MANY things are missed or not understood. For example in comparing loaders. etc. Most Newbs don't understand the importance of telescoping lower links and sway bars either until they have cussed and hooked up their implements a few times. I DIDN'T either. This is my 5th tractor. I have made some "dumbazz" tractor choices in the past.

OOOOKAAAY.

Because, as I stated above, often times it seems the unwritten rule here is: "Thou shalt not question the superiority of Kubota".

Better then got out of my truck wife told me she didnt like it and I got back in and bought a kubota, love my kubota. Informative, really was.

Having 3 different Kubota's, my experience with them has been great if you can overlook their expensive leaky rear remotes and the inexplicable routing of the remote hoses under the Grand L series. I have an L4060 with a somewhat jerky 3 point. A very slight jerk but none the less, noticeable. Ive never seen comments on Kioti tractors concerning these issues. Thats my experience.
