Great, congratulations
Pleaser share some pictures and if you can share your experience once you use the machine.

I'll definitely post pictures. If the trend holds new tractor day will beat pretty much every other day in terms of excitement

I had the same two options based on nearby location of two long-time dealerships. I chose Kioti because it was much more comfortable and more ergonomic for me. Plus it was $3,000 cheaper. I've been thrilled with it. Everything operates smoothly.

I have a buddy looking at these models now. Kubota here is actually cheaper than the Kioti by about $1k.

Even with 2 remotes? Kubota remotes are spendy.

he priced tractors with 4x4 , gear drive, R1's, and FEL. Kubota quoted cheaper and was in stock. Kioti none in stock at 2 closest dealers. next closest was 100 miles away so he didn't check with them. if rear remotes come standard on Kioti I don't know, and its not something he is needing. Kubota has zero for 84. kioti was zero for 72.

As of April 13th Kioti is also 0% for 84 in Canada, 0$ down, 90 day deferred payment. I just snuck in before the papers were finalized

PS For me also it was about 2k lower to go Kioti. Kubota wanted 10% cash down?, Kioti was 0$ down.

zero down for kubota here on the 84 mo.

The kioti salesman said 84 mo was at .99% financing. I did not ask him about if needed anything down on it once we found out he didnt have any in stock.

Guess this all just goes to show, you better shop around.
