Nice, yup I am not to far away from those and while I have driven by I have not had a chance to stop and talk with them, what was your experience like? I took a drive over to addys power over in king ferry this morning to see a kioti machine first hand. I had a good chat with the sales guy but the stock they had on hand was limited in terms of things in a cab option. They only had one ck3510se w/a cab (but it was at their location in auburn) so I ended up going by there on my way home to walk around and look at it, it looks like a pretty nice little tractor. I'll have to check with
The other place I would like to check again is the LS dealer down in trumansburg, I know from my prior research that LS seemed to provide a lot of tractor for the money.
I am curious to hear what you're thinking size and brand.
Overall it was not a bad way to spend a rainy day
Hey TB......It looks like we’re following a very similar path. I didn’t talk to anyone at either of the dealers up by you. The Yanmar dealer didn’t have anything larger than a Subcompact and I wasn’t thrilled with the operator’s station on the Mahindra so I decided not to bother them. I have visited Addy’s and Brian Switzer’s place (LS in T-burg) several times. I like both dealers and would have been happy to give them my money. I really liked the LS on paper and liked the station, but didn’t get a chance to operate them. He has two XR3135H coming but he didn’t know when they would be coming. I crossed it off the list temporarily and focused on the CK3510SE at Addy’s and the TYM T474 (a place called Q’s Power in Newark). I pulled the trigger on the T474 yesterday.
Inventory is low....especially for Cab tractors it seems. I think Brian had an M3 in a cab when I was up there....not sure if you want something that big or not. That CK3510 at Addy’s was nice. It was a tough call for me between the two. The controls on the Kioti were nicer, but the TYM was just more tractor for only a bit more money (heavier, lot more HP and bigger loader and slightly bigger BH). They had a T474 cab up there but I think they sold it.
Good luck....let me know if there any more details I can share that would help. I’d be happy to share any of my research.
