NH Workmaster 25 vs Kioti CK2610

[BillyE]

Trying to decide on which of these tractors to purchase. Both are 24hp(no emissions equip) full frame units , getting Hydrostatic trans.

Appreciate any input.

Do either of these use expensive computers/electronics I should be aware of.

Leaning towards the NH because of dealer network is much bigger.

i shopped both these tractors (kind of, I was looking at the bobcat version CT2025). In the end, i bought the bobcat - but i liked them both. New Holland was more expensive, engine was significantly smaller in displacement. Bobcat/Kioti also has a nicer operator station which i really like.

I have the LS XG3025 (now known as the MT225HE) which is the same exact tractor as the NH Workmaster (LS makes the NH). I now have 225 trouble free hours on it. A Great tractor for sure!

I was also looking at the CK2610, and was actually preferring to get the Kioti at the time. The 2610 has a slightly larger displacement engine, other specs are relatively similar. I believe the 2610 loader (4030) can lift a few inches higher.
In my area, the Kioti and NH were basically the same price..... BUT the LS ended up being over $4,000+ less than both of them, even after I paid $750 to ship it almost 500 miles. That is why I ended up with the LS.

There are a few other differences between the few brands.... the Kioti has a mid PTO, the LS does not, not sure if it an option on the NH (I don't think so). You can get a mid mount mower and front snowblower for the Kioti, not an option for the LS or NH.

The NH loader is definitely a different loader than on the LS (different manufacturers).
The Kioti has a slightly higher loader lift capacity (about 200 lbs)
The LS and NH have slightly higher 3 point lift capacity. (Questionable)
The Kioti weighs about 500 lbs more.

If you were leaning towards the NH, I would definitely check out pricing on the LS. Some areas are far more competitive in pricing, others not so much.

The most important thing is that YOU need to be comfortable on which ever tractor you choose, wether it is price, dealer, or just comfortable to sit on....

I had a 2021 NH Workmaster 25 for about 4 weeks. I just couldn't stand the lack of power for a nearly 4,000 lb. unit (with loader and rear attachment). High range was totally useless for traveling down any roads that have an incline. Medium range would bog down while using my box blade, or when climbing hills. So it was basically a Low range 80% of the time / Medium range 20% of the time machine. And to me, that's unacceptable. I took it back and got the Workmaster 40. Now I'm in love.

I will say though, the SPECS on the Workmaster 25 blow the competition out of the water. 1,600 lbs. of loader capacity, 1,800 lbs. on the hitch, 15 GPM of hydro flow, larger tires, 3 range trans, cruise control, cast iron transaxle, heavier front axle, standard rear remotes, bucket level indicator, quick park loader, skid steer front attach, etc. etc. Just a LOT more tractor for the money than the other brands. New Holland is the only way to go in my opinion.

What did you decide? Figure out any electronics?
