Congrats! I've been looking and pricing for the last 3 weeks! What other brands did you consider? Why a Kioti? I live in NC so the Kioti headquarters is in state, so that's a plus. I was told that the 3rd valve will be supplied by a 3rd party vendor. I really like the cab and controls of the Kioti and Kubota

Thank you, cant wait to get it here!
I looked at several comparable tractors...found a screaming deal on a Zetor Proxima 85, which honestly I think is more tractor than the 7320 and it could have been had for a lesser cost from a dealer in Arkansas. When I read that Zetor was about to lay off a third of its workforce, I put the brakes on fast. Also looked at TYM, a used Case, priced a comparable Kubota, and looked at an LS in the same size as the 7320. The LS would have been a good tractor, but although I bought my first tractor from that dealer and was on good terms, he lost my business. What sold me in the end was how much tractor I was getting for the price, the well established dealer network, and from everything I have read everyone that has a 7320 really likes theirs! It would take an additional 20k to buy a similar tractor as this 7320 in many other brands!

Thanks for info. I've found a great deal on a M7060 w/cab low hours so I'm going with it. But the Kioti 7320 was going to be my purchase before this deal.

Welcome to the pack, I have the RX6620 shuttle shift/cab and have been very happy with it.
While it's at the dealer you might want to ask them to loosen the hydro filter/oil filter a little. They are very tight as you will learn.
Here's a picture.

That 6620 is handling those, what 6 bales maybe, like a champ! That bale grabber attachment you have there might almost make it worthwhile to put up small squares...they sure sell for a lot more!
I'm really excited for it to get here! It might possible be here later this afternoon, but unlikely at this point as it's already 11:00 and I haven't heard anything from the dealer. Most likely be here tomorrow.
When I went to test drive it at the dealership it was during that cold spell and it was fresh off the truck from Texas with untreated Texas fuel in it. Needless to say, it didn't like the cold and the fuel filter got waxed. So, the fuel filter has already been changed out once. Hopefully this means it has been loosened a bit when they put the new one back on.

Hey cat fever, have you ever pulled a mouldboard plow of any kind with your 6620? If so, how many bottoms were you able to comfortably pull with it? I'm thinking I'd like to get a 4-14 turnover that is posted on CL that was either near Pokey or maybe a ways north of that. Just don't want to get too much plow, although I guess I could just drop a bottom if I had to.

I know when I was waiting for mine it was like Christmas morning as a 10 year old.:laughing:
The bale sweep gets 8 bales at a time and it is very nice. No lifting anymore. I do sell a lot of small bales so it was worth it for me. But the tractor handles big bales just as good. I can lift/move 2 3X3 bales with no problem. I will say you need ballast to do it.

I have only pulled a 90" disc and a 11' spring tooth harrow. Both of which were no problem at all.
