Kubota L3130 vs Kioti CK30

[JayC]

Sounds like you made a good choice and got a good deal (not that either wouldn't have been a good choice . /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif ). Congrats and you better post pics when you get it! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Another factor to consider is resale/trade value/residual. Unless you plan to keep the unit for 20+ years, that $3000 difference would decrease by the relative difference in that residual. And it intuitively seems that the Kubota would have a larger resale market, and thus a higher residual, and therefore efectively a lower price.
