I see you're now looking at the Bobcats. Same tractor, just a different color. :thumbsup: That's about $900 more than I paid for my CK30hst with fel almost five years ago but this is for the 35hp. If I could have gotten a 35hp when I bought mine, I would have spent the extra. The price seems pretty good and remember the prices are different for different regions. At least that's how it works with Kioti. Most of the time 30hp works good but a little extra is always nice. If you're in this for the long haul, it's not that much per year and you can run bigger pto attachments. The aux rear remotes are nice. They can be used for a bh, top and tilt cylinders, log splitter, or anything else that needs hydraulic power. I ended up installing them myself. Good luck in your quest.
Doing alot of looking. The Bobcat dealer is extremely close by, which is a big plus. Also may take a look at Massey and Mahindra... Deere and Kubota are pretty much out. Kioti pretty much is too because Bobcat smoked their price, largely due to the Kioti dealer only giving $1200 off for the free loader promotion. The Bobcat dealer's price on a shiny, brand new, plastic-wrapped 2010 CT235 is less than Kioti dealer's price for a 2008 CK30 that has been on their lot for almost 2 years.
