I own a kioti ck35, but looked hard at the branson 3510 before I bought the Kioti. Both looked and felt like good machines. The main reason I went with the Kioti over the branson was that the Kioti dealer was sixty miles closer to me than the branson dealer, and had been running some sort of tractor dealership a couple of decades longer than the branson guy. However, despite that, I've had a few small problems with this kioti dealership. For example, when the tractor was set up, someone reversed the bolt and pin in the ROPS, making it impossible to lower the ROPS. Nothing major, but annoying.
As for the machines, they were both pretty good, though the Kioti was a little lower priced. The Kioti also had a tiny bit more ground clearance, and since both machines have way too much stuff exposed on the bottom, made a difference to me. I'm still in the process of welding a belly pan for mine though.
