Hello folks. I enjoy reading posts especially those about problems we all seem to have. I have a Ford 4000 (1969 owned for 43 yrs) and a new Kioti NX4510 HST with loader and backhoe. My wife said I needed all the easy to use stuff instead of my old tractor since apparently I'm older now. As information, I choose Kioti after years of research because of reviews and personal attention from dealer as opposed to dealing with junior salesman at bigger dealers (JD and Kubota). The specs compare or better competition. Also the $10,000 dollar cheaper price matters to me. So far at 50hrs everything is great. I'll keep posting if problems develop
