Hi all,
I had an LS XJ2025H for about 3 years, and I really liked it, but sold it to get something with more loader capacity and a backhoe. I believe the features I am searching for are:
Run a 5'+ rotary cutter/tiller
Large loader lift capacity. Unloading pallets, full scoops of gravel, etc.
Backhoe
Ideally a Hydrostat, though not absolutely necessary.
Ideally in or under the 30K range for pricing, though I understand not all of my listed options are.
In my Area I have the following Dealers within 45 minutes:
Kubota, Kioti, John Deere, Massey Ferguson, Rural King, Bobcat.
My initial plan was a Kioti DK4210SE. It seems to be a good bang for the buck as far as loader lift, backhoe capacity, and overall being a larger frame size than I can get from the other brands at the same price. However I do not want to put blinders on and miss something.
I plan to visit the Kioti, Kubota, and JD dealers next Saturday. It seems like I should Focus on the L Series, the DK10 and CK10 series, and the JD 3 Series; would you say these are all comparable? Any that I am missing? I am hoping to look at the RK37 and the MF at a later date.
I will be using it to load/unload pallets, move dirt, dig drainage ditches/trenches, as well as run a rotary cutter/Tiller and box blade/rear blade work. I also plan to use it for snow Removal. I am ok with sacrificing HP for Lift capacity; I do not do a ton of rotary cutting or tilling; and I am ok with going a little slower or using a narrower implement on those.
