Finally pulled the trigger...

The 35, 40, and 45 hp Cub Cadet 8000 series tractors are rebadged and repainted Kioti DK35s, 40, and 45s. They are the exact same machines otherwise. The 30 and 32 hp 7500 series Cub Cadets are made by Mitsubishi. Not sure about the smaller sub-cuts. I know they either use Kawasaki, Daihatsu, or Cat engines.

I would love to see how the control panels differ from the Kioti. Please post some photos if you can! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Best of luck,

From what I understand, Buck, the only difference is in the paint. John
