Thanks! Yeah I've seen lots of videos on youtube. Just haven't gotten to see the tractor in my hands yet. Stock arrives this Wednesday. I need a tractor to start getting my garage built!

Doesn稚 upset me in the least. I actually agree with some of what you say.
The system takes up slightly more space, it痴 mounted position puts it out farther. But for the ease of mounting and dismounting there is no way one is any harder than the other and with the consideration of the 3 point not needing removed that clearly puts one system ahead of the other.

I was referring to the actual attaching of the BH to the tractor, not the entire process. I felt like it was a lot easier to line up and connect the Kubota, seen a few people miss the front mount on the Kioti
You might just chalk it up to personal preference.
I will say if I had to change back and forth between BH and 3pt constantly I would probably rather have the Kioti style, but considering the BH stays off most of the time I'd rather it not take up as much space.
Plus on my property, with the Kioti, I would be getting stuck or dragging the BH through the dirt a lot due to the load angle.
Most people I have watched can’t back up in a straight line to begin with, so the lineing up of one or the other seems to be a wash for most. I find that when hooking up first thing in the morning with my coffe in one hand and a smoke in the other the Kioti system seems more forgiving if I am a little bit off.
Haven’t had issue with the overhang for the most part, but if you load at an off angle it sure can be an issue. Around the property I haven’t seen it get close but again I have tractors and usually fix anything before it becomes an issue. So if I see a spot that it would hit, I would simply change the slope so it won’t. Part of the advantages of having machines.

That's great that it works for you, I know my friends Kioti will drag the BH when loading on one of the deckovers so it has to be loaded on a lower profile trailer. Just something for the OP to consider since I'm not sure if he'll be able to see the setup in person as BH equipped tractors sound like they might not be common at his dealer.
Seems kind of a pain to have to regrade your property just to be able to move the tractor around.
I really like the Kioti, their backhoes seems well built, it just looks like the mounting was more of an afterthought to me, but it wouldn't keep me from owning one at all.
Specs for the 2610 are very similar to that of my old L275 Kubota, which was a great machine for my needs. If I hadn't been in exile from TBN while shopping last time, I probably would have given serious consideration to the Kioti.

I just remembered my neighbor bought a SA424 with loader/backhoe a few years ago.
Haven't really seen it since as he left it at another property but I remember looking it over and and looking up the spec sheet, I would say it's more in the category of a LX series Kubota rather then the L or the CK10 Kioti's.
It's a bit lighter and the loader lift height is pretty low even for that size tractor (also the Kubota loader height to pins is 94", I think your sheet says 87)
I haven't looked at the Yanmar line for a bit but I believe its YT series that is closest to the L and I don't think they offer a model under the emissions regulations.
Depending on total price and dealer, I'd say the Kioti looks like it would be my front runner in that group, but as already said, go sit on them and see how they fit you.
No sense in saving a few bucks to not enjoy your tractor time.

Don稚 misinterperate my words! I don稚 go regrading over a simple scrape or scalp here or there. Over the years as I built what I wanted everything was done with smooth even mowing in mind so that alone has it at a point that nothing short of a low rider will have issue.
I would however go make a small change in a heartbeat if something became a problem for transition with the hoe because it would also be an issue with everything else, besides I like playing with the machine痴. After all that痴 why I buy and keep them around!
I did just that! I've been to 5 dealers in the last 2 days. The Kioti has the best seat of the group. The Mahindra had a really nice looking seat and it was comfortable, but the Kioti really seemed to absorb the bumps better when driving around. I think it uses the hydraulic system in the seat.
I just wanted to tell everyone that I was approved for finance to buy a Kioti CK 2610 today. It was still in the crate and needs to be put together before being delivered next week. I seriously considered the 3510 while I was at the dealer for just a couple thousand more, but I couldn't get past the regeneration issues and went with the 2610.
I just joined a few days ago, but you guys will likely be sick of me in another week or two. Happy to be part of the tractorbynet crew!
Now.... what do I do with this old Ford-Ferguson?
