A hard choice !

[Arky217]

I've just found two tractors in my area that I'm very interested in.
They are both '08 models with 1 year of the warranty used up.
Both are similarly priced; the Kubota at $15,800 and the Kioti at $15000.
Both have less than 100 hours on them with the 50 hour service done.
They both have loaders, HST trannies, and R4 tires.

One is a Kubota L3400 (from an owner), the other is a Kioti CK35 (from a dealer).
Are these used prices too high or about right ?

I have priced these two models new from dealers in my area with the Kubota at about $18000 and the Kioti at about $17500.

I'm going to look at them tomorrow.
I may very well buy one, but right now have no idea which.
Both are models that I have been looking hard at.
I hate this kind of decision, but maybe after I look at them, it will be clearer.
Any advice much appreciated.
Thanks,
Arky

I would have to go with the Kubota just for the resale value alone since the price is so close. I think the Kubota is going to hold its value much better than the Kioti.

At the prices you quoted, I'd look at buying new.

I agree.

Look at Bobcat. They are re-badged Kioti and are now offering free FEL and good financing which may end up being a better deal. The prices seem high even though they are low hours its still a used tractor.
