( The 3510 is a lot more tractor and has a lot more features than the 3015. It's much more comparable to the CK30. )
When I said this, I meant that the 3510 is more comparable to the CK30 than is the 3015. I agree with you that it's a better comparison to the DK35 than CK30 though. John

I'm leaning to the ck30 as it seems them most "bang for the buck". I got a qoute of 19,700 today for the ck30 with backhoe and fel.

Kiotijohn, how do you like your backhoe. Is it a bucking bronko? Have you experienced the mahindra backhoe?

Opps, I forgot to ask. One kioti dealer says I need to get the 12" bucket for the backhoe on the ck30. Is this true?
I'd been thinking an 8" bucket and a 16 or 24" bucket for wide or narrow holes. Are they easy to change?

I have no experience with the Mahindra BH. As long as I keep the bolts tightened on the subframe braces, mine is not something I can't live with. It's not the best design I've seen though, the new Wood's 4pt. connection is a much better design. It sits in two bottom hooks and bolts at the top. Very secure. If any rocking goes on, it will be the BH AND the tractor with the Woods.
As for the bucket size, I woulnd't go below 12" for my uses, as smaller buckets tend to clog up too much, espcially if the soil is a little moist. 12" also allows room to work in a trench, negating the need to assemble something outside the trench and then put it in. I'm happy with my 16" and 12" buckets. John

Now YOU'RE turning the numbers around like I did. Aren't you still looking at the 3510? It's so easy to do isn't it?
Those aren't really big number differences. Which one do you like sitting on and operating? I think that's going to be the deal maker. John

The Mahindra 3510 is comparable to the Kioti DK35.

In general when comparing Mahindra and Kioti the DK series would compare to the 10 series and the 15 series would compare to the CK series.

Thanks Keith, but we kinda established that earlier on after I made the mistake of transposing the 3510 into 3015 and doing a whole litany of comparison. Now I'm not sure which tractor he's interested in, the 3015 or the 3510. John

Sorry for being unclear. The Mahindra numbers were for the ml-110 loader that comes with the 3015. I was just trying to "finish" comparing apples for apples.

KiotiJohn, you were actually correct in your comparison. I should not have been comparing the 3010 to the ck30 in the first place.

Don't you mean the 3510? That's what you opened the thread with! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Darn all these similar numbers!!!
