Buying Advice Looking for opinions on prices

[biggziff]

I'm looking at a few Kioti and Kubota tractors. 30-40 HP units mainly. Open station (I'd love a cab, but they're pricey) I found a 2015 CK4010 recently with 200 hours, stored indoors, has HST, Pallet forks, bucket, backhoe and 6' rotary cutter...all Kioti branded implements. Service records and appears to be in near new condition.

I can buy it all for $20K. My question is...how's that price on a 4-5 year old tractor?

What was the warranty in 2015?

Any reason to not consider a 2015 vs newer stuff? I can afford new, but hate to buy new for he obvious reasons.

I ran my buddy's brand new L3560 (Grand) on Saturday for 4 hours. Very smooth engine, HST, steering, I liked the digital dash and features, all of it. The fit and finish is better on the Kubota (my opinion having sat on both brands at dealers this week), but I'm sure the Kioti is fine for my purposes.

Thanks in advance.

The Kioti sounds like a deal to me. I wish I could have found a deal like that before I got my CK3510SE

Ya, the dealers here are asking a LOT more for the same equipment new and while the SE is awesome, I'm not sure I want to pay for all that. I will install a 3rd function kit (do it myself) for my grapple, but the rest I can live with or without.

That KIOTI sounds like a real good deal, the added goodies, while you probably don't see their use today, believe me you will use them sooner than later. Do not delay!! Bob

Have you looked at it in person (or can you)? Or is this an ad listed somewhere from someone who is 'about to be transferred and need to arrange shipping, you won't need to pay until it arrives' .... ?

Yes, it's nearby and not a scam. Apparently came with a 7 yr warranty also which was a promotion running at the time of original sale.

I've scheduled my hauler to go get it this week. Deposit sent. Hopefully, it's good to go.

So, you have NOT looked at in person?

Correct. Seller provided me photos with dated materials in them (local newspaper) and video with EXIF data for "proof of life"

This isn't my first rodeo!
