I agree! Here to in the Canadian west it's all Kubota, Kubota, Kubota. I wouldn't have even heard about Kioti had the Dealer not attended a spring trade show here a few weeks ago. I also agree that if I have to sell unexpectedly I would get a better buck for the Kubota. Here's the thing! I just can't help thinking the Kioti is more tractor and if I am willing to mud wrestle the Dealer, I should be able to do a better deal. I think he is fair and honest but like a lot of Kioti Dealers, just needs to get more product out there. Again I'll say it. Today I'm mostly cutting grass. Tomorrow, who knows, I could be digging a dugout and preping a few hundred feet of driveway!!?? I also will use it for hire just so I can get more saddle time. So I want an all around machine. What do u all think?

No question the CK30 is more tractor than the B3030 and I'm sure either will do fine with mowing as well.
It sure sounds from the rest of these guys like you should get a MUCH better deal from the Kioti dealer. If you can swing 4K less than the B3030 that cag got - its a steal. Maybe you should try getting more stuff into the deal that you think you will need rather than just concentrating on the price of the tractor/loader - what implements do you plan to buy initially? Compare prices as a package. If you don't plan on selling for a while. I'm sure that in the next 20 years Kioti will have more dealerships everywhere.
Since you've got Kubota dealers everywhere and only the one Kioti dealer, make sure that he is going to stand behind you when it comes time for warranty and that you are VERY happy with the dealer most importantly.
The CK30 is a very nice machine. Doubt you can go wrong with it.

There is one thought that is posted on TBN probably more often than any: "Ive done more with my tractor than I ever thought I would."
Does that tell you anything? Once you have the tractor, and know what it CAN do, you find all manner of projects to do with it. You're going to want to have enough tractor to that, and to me, you're going to want one that is substantial. The CK30 fits that bill in my estimate.
Just fine tune the deal with your dealers and get to work.
