I have been a satisfied Yanmar owner for a while now but I needed something a little bigger with 4wd, live power etc. After a lot of thought and the reading of most of these posts I narrowed it down to Kioti or Branson. I ended up getting a left over 01 (new) 3054 For $9400.00 I used it to haul the water wagon last night and felt like I was driving a new caddie. The owners manuel was a little vauge about the break in procedure. How have you guys handled the break in? I have alot of box grading to do and I hate to wait 100hrs. To really start working it. Once again thanks for all the insightful and informative posts it made my decision making process a lot eaiser. Joe
