I can tell you that I like them so much im considering becoming a dealer ,Their backed by american Jawa so they have plenty of money behind them,The machine has draft control,live hydralics and pto,a nice factory loader with 67 or 72 inch quick disconnect bucket,10.5 gal fuel tank,The Korean motor mfg has been a leader in S.Korea since 1979 ish ,they has a nice desighn,very similar to Branson and Mahindra and ITY,The only major difference in that class machine is the engine Mfg.,Good luck

Actually the Century is a Branson, more precisely they are both kukje. American Jawa is the importer and also imports the the Zetor line to the US. The korean manufacturers site for both the Branson and Century lines is www.kukje21.co.kr, they also build under contract for JD as you will see on their site

They don't look too bad but they don't have quite as nice of a fit and finish as certain other South Korean tractors. I may be a little partial to the Kioti's though. /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif Just get the 2 side by side Kioti and any other S. Korean tractor and compare fit, finish etc. A 30 H.P. Kioti with a loader could be had for around $14500.

Thanks for the info.I did hear that Kioti just raised dealer pricing across the board.Im not sure how much,Kioti appears to be a well made machine and has been around long enough to develope name reconishion to those who are into tractors

You mentioned that Branson makes Century?It seemd like Century was priced better @ dealer cost and they had a much larger display at the Kentucky show,I guess size isnt everything,They do have a sweet quick detatch bucket as standard equ.

Millennium Korean Tractors with Kubota power plants…

These have had the nicest fit and finish of any Korean tractor I've seen to date... and the big bonus is a Kubota engine... /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Pricing is set by the importer. At kentucky that would be american Jawa for Century and Branson Tractor (J-Bar) for bransons. They are the same tractor just badged differently. Both loaders are made by aftermarket companies and badged.
