Mike, Neil said he was using Blue Book. Those are national averages. And my guess is it would be more complex than a simple brand ranking as you describe.
Take a look at various lines of tractors within any given brand. I suspect that the L2800/L3400 would likely depreciate more than an L3130 or L3430. I would expect a JD 790/990 would take it in the shorts compared to a 3120 or 3720. Likewise I would expect the LKs to fade in value quicker than a DK. But then I don't know. I personally am curious about all of it, just for the sake of knowledge.
EDIT:
BTW this is not a Kioti only question. There are threads in other forums asking about the value of specific models. Its a common questions. Seems to me a lot of people would be interested knowing which brands and models and tractor types hold value better or worse so they could ballpark their brand. There is a JD thead right now asking about a 20% hit on a 1 year old machine. I found out why my NH held its value, and why other similar models did not fair as well. I'd suggest that the thread would be best in the general Buying/Pricing/Comparision area.
