Kioti advice?

john, gb loaders have a good reputation i don't think you will regret it. you didn't answer my question about if the gb loader is a sub frame mount.

FEL's are not Kioti's strong suit. My choice would have been a Bush Hog or Woods either over the Kioti on my DK 45, but bought it used and had no choice. I'm not up on the GB Loaders. The paint on the Kioti loader doesn't "quite" match also and is low quality. Mighty fine tractor though. You will like it. Ted

My kl 1450 Kioti loader seems well built.
I also like the way it mounts to the tractor and I have the quick disconnect on the bucket which is the Bobcat style seems well built and strong.
The paint on mine seems to match and looks good.
But who ever makes the hydrualic cylinders should be slapped !!

I signed the purchase order for a Kioti DK35 with industrial tires yesterday for $12,500. I also ordered a Great Bend 260 FEL (subframe mounted), a Rhino box blade and Rhino post hole digger.

Thanks for sharing your experiences.

John, that sounds like real good combination. GB sub frame mount I guess Kioti is making enough sales to have loaders made by other manufactures there were none when I bought my DK35. You problily won't have any problems with it. Maybe Kioti should start having GB make their FEL's.

My Kioti dealer carries a KMW (Kansas Machine Works) FEL and paint is a perfect match. He says this is the FEL Kioti dealers in USA sell. Don't know if that's true though.
