New 25hp tractor purchase

I have also heard good things about Connor Tractor in Ocala as well.

So as an example, on the 25hp vs 35 hp; right now, apples to apples; its $1670 more for a Ck3520 over a Ck2620.

Welcome. Do you have a trailer (own or rented) to get it yourself? I personally would never buy a tractor (maybe sight unseen) and then have it shipped. I drove to and from and then back to (with a trailer), the dealer 100 miles away in the same day to buy my JD 855. That's about as far as I'd want to go, for a decent deal. Look around (and only at name brand machines IMHO) w/in that range.
Sure, I own a few trailers. That's not generally the issue for me. Time is. Believe it or not, I bought my current house sight unseen. Actually, it's not really that uncommon anymore. I could feel confident enough via research to take the chance, however, I'd probably be 50/50 on going to pick it up. It all depends on how much time my "real" business gives me, cost of shipping and some other timing factors.

I did look at the Solaris website; and unless im crazy, they only offer 2 machines, really. 3 transmissions in a 24hp, and a single transmission in a 74hp. The prices are pretty attractive, but the machine itself, looks like a RK25 competition at best, and price vs price; its like $14.5 vs $19.5k. Savings sure, but it would A: make 100% sure the Solaris includes the loader in that price; B: find a dealer, and actually look at/touch/feel it; C: decide if that machine fits your spec

I didn't want to deal with emission stuff, and apparently it's stupid simple to turn the CK2620 up.
Yeah and maybe. Yes, it's easy to turn up the 2610 to make it a 3510; but its probably worth the $20/month (or so) to avoid voiding warranty. On the emissions, I haven't seen anyone report real world problems on the Kioti small machines emissions

Helm, I see you are over on the west coast, but I have had good luck with Black Creek tractor, but down towards you, Ocala Tractor, and the Crystal tractor chains are worth a look.
Yeah, I've exchanged a couple emails with Ocala, they are supposed to get me a couple quotes. Came across Connor today, will check them out. My first reaction to Crystal was hesitation because they have the "call for price" gimmick. I generally don't blindly call sales people anymore, don't want to play their games, but I'll probably end up contacting them at some point.

I'm not a warranty person, and for all I know the warranty on mine is already over.

So why haven't I turned it up yet? Lack of time is one reason, and so far the 25 hp has been all I've needed.

I think I read that Solis is new in the US and hasn't gotten it's full line released yet. According to their site, Love Power Equipment is a dealer, but I don't see any in their inventory. I emailed them, but they haven't responded (dealers seem resistant to email, but don't get me started on that). I'll see if Dixie gets back to me.

If a dealer can't be bothered to respond, or are know it all jerks ... I figure they really don't need my business!
