Buying Advice Kubota vs Kioti - new to tractors

[Diggin It]

Kubota dealer is about 25 or so miles away (we live in the woods) and they have a good rep, the Kioti is across the road from them but they sell Massey as well so I am not sure about them as I haven't gone in yet. There is a dealer that has a huge lot about 65 minutes away from us.

Then make sure you look at those also.

Go drive all your picks. Spend some time with each one. The dealers let me play around in their yard for as long as I wanted. For me the Kioti was the clear choice based on my expectations. That after having a B7800 for 2000 hours. You are the one that will have to use the tractor every day. After 200 hours with the Kioti, I am glad I made that choice.

The Kioti CK2610 is popular because it gives you a very strong loader on a 25 hp tractor. It will lift quite a bit more than either of the Kubotas, although all would be sufficient for most grounds maintenance work.

Planting yourself in the seat is really the best place to start. You may think one or the other looks better on paper, but when you actually sit on it and touch the controls you may find some things you just don't like or some things you find much better executed than on the others.

While you are at the Massey-Ferguson dealer you should also take a look at what they have to offer. You might find one that is calling your name. I don't think you would find yourself being disappointed in any of the tractors you are considering.
