Comparison Orange versus Orange

[IslandTractor]

I have a friend that had a Kioti. Pushing on some brush piles with the loader and the loader arms bent like a bad paper clip.

Then the tranny hung in reverse so he could only drive backwards


I do not recommend them. Def go with deere or Kubota

Oh darn. I guess I'll have to be more careful with my loader from now on. No more uprooting stumps, boulders and monster piles of brush. From now on I'll just use the loader to collect the mail and scoop dog poop. Thanks for the warning.

IT your right, I think I'll stop using my loader for work and just use it as front weight instead.

I think they both make fine machines, Kubota has been great for me, so i stay with them. 10 years of commercial year round use, thousands of hours on 3 different machines, never had a catastrophic failure. That is proof of quality in my eyes?

Dmace - You must be good with photoshop - if you really put as much of a load in your bucket as is shown in your avator, it would definately break the loader arms.

Only if it were a Kubota or JD loader. Kioti loaders handle those loads just fine.

But I am very proud of how well I photoshopped the shadows and how I got branches to look like they were both inside the grapple and covering the grapple. Took DAYS of intense photoshopping. If you noticed on my earlier photo of the DK40se picking up the boulder I even photoshopped a bent grapple tine into the photo to make it seem more realistic.

This is an absurd statement. Other than maybe a dealer, or employee, who would go to such lengths? And for what purpose? There is no doubt that the photos are real.

I've moved over 700 tons of dirt and big rubble with no issues on my CK25. The rubble is especially hard to load and puts a lot of strain on the loader. The Kioti loader is just as good as any other brand's.

rtim is being facetious. He just left out the , or even the . rtim knows Kioti and owns a Kioti as well.

I'm pretty dang sure my NH loader would not lift that rock slab in pic#3 - with or without photoshop I'm impressed. I have noticed before how happy many Kioti owners are on TBN. If I were tractor shopping, I would give Kioti a serious look for sure.

Count me on that list.

Heck the parent company builds supertankers, they should be able to make a CUT, or any size for that matter.

You are 100% correct - thanks for the back-up.

I keep forgetting that when you type something sarcastically, you can't give voice inflection, so you need to use the emoticons.

Thanks again.
