Still haven't picked up mine, but I did look at massey, mahindra, jd, new holland, and case... and I must say I was impressed with Kioti's numbers in comparison.. sometimes better by a mile. Most of their engines are made in south korea, so probably similar quality control. And then when I saw the sticker price, it was no cotest.
Been looking all over the net for negatives, and aside from one single guy on youtube cracking his backhoe frame on a ck3510 (probably abuse and/or bad luck), and few others pointing out minor cosmetic stuff like where the side markers are placed, or how one ripped off his antenna in the woods, one guy had a leaky quick connect, and so on, I am yet to find anything substantially negative that would make me not buy one.
Anyways, waiting on mine, currently at the dealer to be put together. Will let you know once I physically have it
