Looking at both of these tractors with HST and cabs. Specs are about the same, 45 hp/4000lb/2500lb loader lift. LS is a hair cheaper. Ive seen some complaints about bucket speed with the LS. Dealers are both close by. So far, havent seen anything on them I dont like as far as driving around dealer lot. The Kioti seems to lose more HP at PTO vs engine according to specs, but i guess that could just be the way spec sheet is written. Any reason one would be better/worse from yall experience? It will mostly be used for light mowing, small deer food plots, cleaning brush with grapple. Twice a year Ill help my dad with haying. Which leads to the next questions. Both big enough to pull an 8 wheel rake id guess? Ive only ever pulled it with 50+hp tractor. Second, what is the biggest disc harrow I should look at?

I thoroughly researched a DK4710SE (open-station) a couple weeks ago and I loved pretty much everything about it. I think it's a great value for the money. It's horsepower numbers (45/33) are a bit lower than the model name would suggest so I will leave it to the more experienced users on this board to comment on haying and discing, but as for the tractor itself I think it's a solid choice. I'm not familiar with the LS so I can't provide much comment there. If you do choose to go with the Kioti, I'd talk to the dealer about adding a few options though. Namely the extendable links, linked pedal, and cruise control. Also fluid-filled rear tires would be a good option for the uses that you named.
