Kioti DK40SE /W FEL
Hello everyone,

I just bought a Kioti 4WD DK40SE with their free loader (KL-401) program two days ago. Total price out the door, including sales tax was under 20K (5.5 % financing). Originally I was considering buying the Mahindra 4WD 4025 but the Kioti had more standard options and seemed to be a better tractor for the value. Mahindra was offering 4.25 % financing with "ROCK bottom pricing" for the 4025 with loader, which actually came in a few hundred dollars less then the Kioti. It was a tuff decision between them both, but so far I have been impressed with Kioti's 4WD and its loader. Kioti also has another tractor in the 40 HP range, the DS4110. It seems to be similar match to Mahindra's 4025 but at a cheaper price.

I am curious if anyone else compared the Kioti's tractor vs. Mahindra's tractors. Both are much cheaper than the JD or Kubota and from what both dealerships have said, both Kioti and Mahindra are taking market share from JD and Kubota due to the price value. They lack in name recognition but not quality - at least this is the dealers' opinion. I do agree that both tractor have better and much heaver gauge steel frames. Looking at the newer JD the steel seems to be much thinner (higher gauge) and I have notice more plastic parts then on the older JDs. The Mahindra and Kioti are much more heavier and solid and this helps if you have a FEL or pulling heavy equipment.

My local dealers initial pricing of mahindras scared me off so I can't say I really looked at them, but I did compare the DS and the DK.
I knew I was going to do mostly loader work so I went with the DK with HST. I tried the DS in the parking lot and it was a bit of a process to change directions, maybe after a few hours it would've seemed simple but I wanted the HST anyways and I like the rear 3pt control and all the goodies back there that come standard. Also is SSQA standard on the DS and 4025? Its very nice to have.
Mahindra does seem to put nice big wide front tires on which would be an asset on soft ground. I don't get stuck with my Ag's but they sure make some ruts!

Congrats on the new tractor!

A lot of it comes down to your locale, in my area I have 5 JD dealers closer than the nearest of any of the other guys, and their pricing is very competitive. For some of the differences I've seen, I would definitely buy a Kioti next, but the most I've ever seen is about a $2-3,000 difference between all brands.

Thank you Martian. Here a pic of the new Kioti tractor next to a Ford F250 for size reference.
