Ok got my attention- contacted dealer still out 2 weeks for my unit with MMM mounted at Battleboro, NC. They have been slammed with demand for this LSMT225s much more demand than was anticipated. Wonder if the RK & Mahindra Brands will jump in with gap model filler to compete. Kioti was on par to release updated model CX series. It will be interesting how this unit handles MMM. Keep you posted on how the MMM works.

Here are some of the competitors in that weight class.
- Kubota B50/LX

There was a lot of hype about the new Kioti CK / CX series.... until it was revealed that it still only had a 2 speed transmission. Not sure of the other brands.
I noticed the TYM 264 Tony tractor adventure is advertising has only 2 speed transmission. He is making the best of the unit in his review. I think the tractor is a economy buy - good for a first time Buyer. 18.5 K with MMM and FEL. Cheaper than Mahindra for sure.

OK, my turn to see one. My dealer said he didn't run into any backlog. Ordered one and it showed up a couple of weeks later.
Troubles for me are the fuel filler position and the FEL Joystick that virtually eliminates right side boarding.
Hadn't unpacked the Hoe and Mower yet, but you can see the drive over ramps.

Can you clarify ... was that turning in the 125 with MMM and BH, plus an additional $16K to get the 225S with MMM and BH ? My dealer wasn't able to work up a trade quote on the spot.

No, he initially paid $12,900 for the 125, tractor and loader only. He was at the dealer to have the BH added to the 125 for $3,000 and $450 for rear remotes (total $3450). They gave him $11,900 for the 125 trade in (so he lost $1,000) from what he paid for it.
He applied the money he was going to spend on the BH and remotes towards the 225-S. He got a price of $15,600 for the 225-S, and he added the remotes for a cost of $500, so a total of $16,100.
He will be going back to get the BH for the 225-S in about 2 months (he needs to get the cash together) which will cost $5200, which is the package pricing. The specs on the BH are better than the hoe I have on my XG3025! So that is why it costs so much.

Better check again.... the CK2510 DOES NOT have a 3 range. There is a thread in the Kioti section discussing this. The website shows a 3 range on the HST, but not on the gear version. Another member went to his Kioti dealer and confirmed that it had a 2 range only. Again, talking the 2510, Not the 2610.
The CK 2610 has a 3 range. That is a whole different class of tractor.
Your Bobcat 2025 is the equivalent to the 2610

So, he'd be at 21,300 or so with the Hoe (16,100 + 5,200). No MMM in that price? My guy said that was in the 3K range due to the drive over ability.
He ballparked 'another 12K or so' above what I paid for the 125 doing some sort of trade. I won't do it anyways, but I'm just curious.
