Kioti vs Kubota

[rk246]

Seems as though the resale would be better on the Kubota, if that is ever going to be a factor...

That said I think that the CK30 is probably better compared to the L3130 )</font>

I'd strongly disagree, the L3130 is a much more capable tractor.

Can you expand on this. You know both these machines better than I do.

I don't think the 3130 is any better then CK30. The resale value would be a bit better, but Kiotis are selling for much more now. Ck30 has many more bells and whistles and much heaver.

I'd have to agree with Neil.

I've been looking at the 30hp and up arena, and I'd think the closest size/strength ratio machines are the Kubota B3030 and CK30, though the CK30 is much heavier. However, lift capacities for the CK30 are much more in line with the B3030 than the L3130, which is a whole different class of machine - much larger and stronger. While I was focusing on the L3130 and L3430, I found no comparable machine by Kioti. Seems that there is a small void in the Kioti lineup.

All that being said, to me there seemed to be 3 distinct machine "types" - the B3030, the CK30, and the L3130. All 3 seemed to have enough differences that you can't really get any sort of apples-to-apples comparison, IMO.

Its not hard guys, just look at the numbers...

Kubota - 24 PTO HP
Kioti - 22hp

Kubota - Hydraulic Cluch
Kioti Dry-Plate

Kubota - 3300lbs (dry)
Kioti - 3100 lbs

Kubota duel hyd pumps - 4.9/8.3 (13.2)
Kioti - Single pump? 12.7gpm.

3pt Lift (24")
Kioti - 1764 at 3pt htich
Kubota - 2650 at 3pt hitch

Loader Lift (at pins)
Kioti - 1155lbs
Kubota - 1870lbs


So bascily the Kubota is a 50% stronger tractor at the 3pt and loader. Granted, its also more expensive - it should be. A comparison to the L3400 is much more fair.

Bottom line there is no apples to apples comparison between the Kioti CK30 and anything Kubota produces at the moment. The B3030 is outclassed by the CK30, and the L3130 outclasses the CK30. I agree with Neil that the closest comparison is the L3400...but then you get back to the whole deal with the CK30 being a "loaded" model while the L3400 is a bare bones basic tractor.

I'd really suggest you double check your facts. The L3130 has more horsepower, is heavier, and has more capacity in every measureable way, it is also considered a deluxe Kubota and has all the whistles and bells. Most people equip them with the 723 loader and that is an absolute monster in terms of capacity.

As for comparisons, I agree with both Neil and with Gambel77. The tractors are hard to do an apples to apples comparision on. The L3400 is more basic but more powerful. The L3130 has all the features and lots of capacity too.

Sorry I mean the b3030 not the Grand. My mistake I edited this later.

 

[ck30newjersey]

Sorry the B3030. You are correct.
