Should I buy 45 or 35 H.P.?

To me... once you've accepted your going into the tier 4 category... then go for broke! Go big or go home at that point.

I traded down for a lot of reason. And am very happy with that. But your needs are a lot different.

I was just called by one of the dealers I am pricing with. He just offered me a new 2017 Nx5510 for the same price as a 2018 NX4510. He has the 55 on the lot and has to order the 45. That changes things. I do believe I have ruled out the CK3510 based on some of the comments.

I think the 55 is more than I really need, but can稚 think of any cons to having more HP. Fuel burn maybe??

Are you going to pick up the 5510?

Thanks to everyone that has given input. I am trying to work out a deal on the 5510 now.

If the 45 and 55 are same frame size and dealer lets you have the 55 2017 for the same prices as the 2018 45, then I would go for the 55 unless it is too large for it to fit into your typical spaces.
I bought my LS 7010 and discovered it was too large for many of my spaces, so I also bought a smaller (B26 TLB) for the small stuff.
Also I like the open station on the B26 for doing fine grading because I can see more easily what the FEL is doing. The cab on the P 7010 limits visibility a lot especially if working facing the sun where the glare really limits what you can see.
I love the cab for those cold days or when bush hogging to keep the bugs and dust out. It also keeps out the small tree limbs from trying to knock me off the tractor.

I am close to purchasing a Kioti tractor. Hoping to get some insight from Kioti owners on which one to choose. I have been looking at the NX4510 HST with cab and the CK3510SE with a cab.

My main uses for the tractor will be mowing off about 15 acres of old hay field and blowing snow in the winter. I am planning on a front mount blower with mid mount PTO. Here in idaho we often have storms that will leave 12"-24" overnight. I will also be maintaining a 350' gravel driveway.

Any advice or personal experience with these tractors will Be much appreciated. Thanks!

HP is kind of like money. Some's good and more's better.

More importantly, snow blowers such HP like a Hoover sucks dust.

If I lived in an area where I might find 12" of snow on the ground when I woke up and wanted to use a snow blower to clear it rather than a plow, I would be looking for considerably more than 45 HP unless I had a great deal of time on my hands.
