<font color="yellow"> </font> Has anyone heard anything about the new 8000 Series tractors and loaders? Was wondering what people we thinking.... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I've been wondering about that myself. I have looked at the brochures at my dealer, and these new tractors sure do look good. I would love to see one and do a little touch'y' / feel'y'....

Seems Kioti is making them for Cub/MTD. Check out a Kioti DK45, it may be the most similar model. I am sure it will be a fine machine as you won't find many compliants with the Kioti equipment. I looked at both the Cub Cadet and MTD web sites and don't see any mention of the 8000's though.

I looked at one this past weekend at my local dealer. It was an 8454 (Series 8000, 45 horsepower, 4 wheel drive). Shuttle shift, extending lower links on the 3 pt, hydraulic remotes in the rear, 72" bucket on the FEL, draft control, nice looking seat, big R1 tires. A real nice looking rig, and of course it was painted the beautiful yellow Cub Cadet color! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif My dealer was not around, so I was unable to ask him any questions about it, and I didn't dare lift the hood without asking first. This is a real heavy duty looking tractor for it's size.

I'd love to take it for a spin!

I called on them today and a dealer told me on 8000 sieres 45 hp with fel would run in the $25,000 range (Southern Mo). Of course this was over the phone so I don't know how close the price was. Sounded like a nice unit. Griz

It's been a while now since this thread was started and I was wondering if anyone has heard any more on the 8000 series? Does anyone have any pictures or information?

The only difference betwen the 8000 series and the Dk 40/45 is paint and maybe $. All are nice tractors. Has any one compared any of the above to Century? /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif I think you will find more tractor for less $$.
Good luck with whatever you purchase.

I'am one of those Orange guy's,but today while passing by my local CUB/KIOTI dealer I stopped to look at a 8454SS in the front yard,nice looking rig.Being that today is Sunday,no-one was around.Seeing that you fellows believe that the 8000's are Kioti's,next pass by I will check for comparison's. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

From what I heard you can buy the same tractor with orange paint for atleast $1500 less. So you have to ask the question is yellow worth that much more.
