Looking at a new Kioti, suggestions

[cat fever]

I'm sure if I shopped around I could of got one cheaper, but I like the dealer. I ended up paying $40k with an extra remote installed and comes with bucket and bale spike.

I think you will be very happy, and have many jealous neighbors.

A month in, how are you liking your new tractor, dirtracer28a?

I haven't found many new, reputable tractors available down here that compare favourably to the value of the RX 7620. Might be getting one on demo for a few days, to see if I can program my brain to get used to not seeing as much of the FEL implements as I am used to.

Well Ive only had the tractor exactly 1 week now and have put 22 hours on it, unloading hay and brush hogging. I was worried the loader wouldnt lift high enough to get the hay thats double stacked on my gooseneck flatbed trailer, well it did it easily, I dont have any rear weights or rear tires wetted, and never felt like the rear got too light, the bales weigh right around 1100#, my next worry was the loader wouldnt reach all the way across my trailer and Id have to drive to the other side of trailer to unload the hay, it reached better than my JD 4010 did. After getting my hay pen filled I hooked up to my 10' Brushhog 3210 , honestly it pulls it great, it doesnt bog down it the thick stuff like the old 4010 did, cutting in the same field as I was with JD 4010 before I sold it. I really am loving this tractor, I run my buddies New Hollands and I like the control layout of the Kioti better. My dad runs International and Kubota, he thinks the Kioti is very similar to the Kubota on alot of small things. I have only 2 complaints with the Kioti and thats the hydraulic system isnt super fast and no buddy seat, now before ppl start telling me you shouldnt have ppl riding with you not all of us live in this fantasy world that you do and have no need for someone to ride along. I was raised on the fender of an open cab tractor, no babysitter as a child so thats where I was from early till very late daily thru the summers. I am also a believer that if we would take more warning stickers off dangerous equipment alot of the problems in this world would be taken care of themselves. Stop trying to idiot prove the world. The hydraulics arent super slow, and are very useable to do any job, unloading hay they never slowed me down.Now thats out of the way, I love this tractor and plan on buying a open air one in the next few years to replace my old David Brown once she gets tired.

Last winter I ran a couple of Kubota 135s and M9000 series with a way too grabby shuttle, and I preferred the Kioti and especially my hydraulic set-up much better.

Agreed, and thanks for the initial review. Keen to learn more as you get more hours on it.

You are only going to like it more, the more you use it.
I look for things to do just so I can play I mean work with mine.
