Thanks for helping me think through this. Following some of the advice here, I've been out looking at other options as well. We looked at the Kioti CK35 HST yesterday. I had never even heard of them, but I have to say I was impressed - alot comes with that tractor (even a mid PTO option, though they don't even make an MMM for it), and the weight is there too. I see on this site that there are many Kioti vs. Kunota threads so I don't want to ignite that over here. The Kioti dealer is much newer and less established, has a smaller operation, etc. - and that is the main thing that makes me a little nervous. Makes me wonder if he'll be in business next year ...
