At the moment, Kioti does not have the same resale as Kubota, it may never. If you plan on selling in less than 5 years... that may matter to you.
The key question is: Which machine will YOU feel more comfortable on for the next 5+ years?
Based on the reaction my Kubota dealer had when I told him I was also looking at Kioti's, I was trying to get his price down. He went off the deep end ranting and raving about Korean junk. He told me he wouldn't even sell me any attachements, rakes, rear blade, etc if I bought a Kioti. He is less than 10 miles from my house so it would have been convienent. I decided at that point to never return to his store. I have to assume Kioti is making good inroads into Kubota's market, at least his.
Photo's of whichever toy, err machine, you get is a requirement.

Myself, I have 5 acres of land, a garden and I mow with riding mowers. I bought a great 18hp diesel--Satoh with a roto tiller--540 pto. The 540 pto speed is why I do not mow with it, the riding mowers are much faster. To exceed the 540 speed with a mower or bush hog is not what I wish to try. The roto tiller at 540 pto speed is enough for the tractor. My tractor I paid $2500.00 cash money and its in great shape. If I had a bigger home, than maybe I would reconsider the tractor size. I am pretty much set as far as landscaping, just need some minor work that a smaller tractor can handle.
The tractor on the left is the one I use. Its around a late 1980,s model.

The price difference when purchasing should wipe out any depreciation differences down the road. Purchase the one you like the best that fits you.
