Buying Advice Does anyone know anything about the Kioti Tractors

[KiotiKowboy]

So I am going to look around Joplin, MO. and see if the dealer there can beat the price.

I bought my DK50 at S&H near(in?) Joplin. The folks there were super to work with - made a fair deal and delivered for free. I will warn you - their parts department is not for crxp! I've been sent home with the wrong parts more than once.

No I am looking to buy one, I have a price from Rogers, AR. So I am going to look around Joplin, MO. and see if the dealer there can beat the price. I may try Rogersville, MO. If you recommend them. I am just seeing who wants less of my money. Thanks for any info you can give. What implements do you have any recommendations on a Bush Hog? I was priced B#16 w/slip clutch $2200 Tractor with front end loader (free rebate) model DK50SEH 49HP 4WD Premium Tractor with Joystic Valve, Draft Control, Single Remote Valve with (free) KL401 Loader with 72" Quick Attach Bucket and Grill Guard $ $24,070.28 Going to go with AG tires, after talking with my neighbors who have smaller size Kubota's.

Pretty good price on the DK50, Yes S&H in Rogersville is good, they have store in Lockwood, and I think Miami OK also, I am not sure they have Kioti's in Miami or not. Be sure to either build or buy something for a 3pt ballast of around 1100 lbs. I don't have that much, only 750 but I have "loaded tires" and my loader is not nearly as powerful ask the KL401 on your DK50se. You might be able to work in the Loaded tires on your deal if you want them. Second remote would not hurt if you ever want Top-n-Tilt hydraulic cylinders to take the place of the manual jackscrews for the top link and side link. It depends if you intend to do much box blading or grading. Good luck in the trade, it is one heck of a nice tractor with lots of power. You will really enjoy it.

I'm with James concerning the second remote and loaded rears. heck, I'd go for 3 remotes and 3rd function on the front. You'll want them eventually.

As for the FEL being "free". Nothing is free.

i have the 2012 bobcat ct225 ( kioti ck27 clone) mostly same tractor. and had a 1996 kioti 1914. both bought new both great tractors. a lot of bang for the buck. new one is very impressive and solid. i looked at many before deciding on these both times i came back to kioti.

I've had a DK 35 for 13 years.
It's been great.

Thank you all for the heads up and what to ask for with the DK50. We will be shopping North and West of us and see what we can get. Any and all info appreciated.

They are so well reviewed by 5hose that own them...that goes a long way in my book.

Only reason I did not look at them was because no dealer support in my area.

In my opinion, and it is just an opinion, in the size of tractor you chose, the Kubota is superior when compared to the Kioti offering in that class. And this is coming from a Kioti owner/operator.

James, are you talking about the sub-CUT class, such as the Kubota BX series?

Going to go with AG tires, after talking with my neighbors who have smaller size kubota'

Kubotas run a lot lighter than a comparable Kioti, Kiotis are heavy, ( Weight=traction ) Unless you are plowing fields, I would go with R4s, load em, make sure they fill them to just above the stem at 12:00, R4s are more durable and don't leave bumps all over your property like an ag tire.

Most folks whining about the traction of R4s either don't have em loaded , or they were told they were loaded, or paid to have them loaded, in reality they are 1/4 or 1/2 or a little more than half full, dealers like to fill them a quarter to half full and charge you full boar. Why bother?
Or they have a small tire that does not hold much.

Then there are the guys on the counter weight nipple' that don't have there tires loaded, that complain about traction.. and the fact they can't lift any thing without having their 1100 to 1300 pound counterwieght nipple strapped on the back.... they have also levered all the weight off the front end making the 4wd of very little help....Don't take this personal folks

I have 1164lbs of ballast in my rear tires, I have no problems with traction on my DK.

By all means be sure to follow the KL401 operating manual for safety
