Kioti DK55 -v- Kubota L5030 Decision time

[ljayc]

I'm down to decision time. Kioti DK55 or Kubota L5030 . Both with FEL. The Kubota is $2100 more but the dealer is 25 miles away. The Kioti is 85 miles away. The Kubota will hold it's value for sure, the Kioti may or may not. The Kubota has more bells and whistles. The Kioti is heavier. I would appreciate your experience and advice.

I had to make the same choice and went with the DK55C cab model. My difference was about 5000.00 less than the 5030 cab model. I am very happy with mine. Kubota charges extra for a good many standards on the Kioti! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Both are good tractors. Like I have read here so many other times (seems to be a TBN mantra lol), choose the machine that fits you best and the dealer that treats you best.

Both sound like good tractors, you are at a spot where only you can decide which one is best.
Did you get a better feeling at one of the dealers? or sitting / driving one of the tractors?

The dealer should play a part in the decision due to having to go back and get support.

Good luck and keep us informed. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
