If you plan on doing alot of dirt work,boxblading,raking,backhoe work.... advantage... Kioti, if you plan on doing alot of mowing with a midmount mower, advantage ... Kabota.. Both are quality machines...

When I was looking for a tractor a few months I looked at the BX23, the 7510 and 7610 all with backhoes, JD 4310 and NH. Then I came across the CK30hst. I was so impressed! When I tested out the BX23 I felt like I was on my craftsman lawn mower. I just coundn't see spending 16000.00 on a toy tractor. I have 40 hours on my CK30hst tlb and it's a tank. I woundn't consider anyother tractor under 65 HP then A Kioti.

Yours is a common progression - pretty much the same as I did. Started with the BX23, 6" groud clearance scared me off, then looked at the B7510/7610. Then I wondered why they were so light, and looked at the CK20HST and liked it a lot more. Then I bought an LK3054, but that's another story! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif If you're not mowing, weight is your friend, and a subframe-mounted BH is a definite advantage.
Also, the "quarter-inching" valve, or whatever they call it now, is marketing hype disguising an inferior lift control - you want the absolute height control like the CK20 has, and like Kubota puts on their higher priced units.
After I looked at the Kioti, I would have bought it at the same price, even though it was cheaper. Grab ahold of that handle on the fender of the B7510 and give it a good pull, then do it on the CK20.

I looked at the 3400, 2800 Kubotas, TC30, TC33NH trying to stay in a certain price range. (the TC33 pushes out of that range.) I heard of a local Kioti dealer and went to check them out. I felt it they had every bit as good quality construction as the Kubota. I ended up buying a DK35 which has far more features than the more stark 3400, 2800s for less money. I bought a TLB package and love it. I've only got 20 hrs in due to great volumes of rain, but... Thanks by the way to all the posts here that gave me more confidence to deviate from the big 3.
