Tractor Shopping Fatigue- Kioti DK40HST v. LS4041 v. Deere 5045

Alright- couple more calls and got an LS price of 21,400 for the 4041 HST leaving that and the Kioti at essentially the same price once I add the extra rear remote. I can probably not the price a bit lower once I'm there and in person but at this point its a wash and just a matter of picking which tractor! That's where you all come in

I did run across a 2012 Yanmar LX4100 slightly used with 37 hrs for 19k but once I add the rear remotes for 1200, the savings are a wash.

If your talking about the LX4100 on ebay with 37 hrs that unit has a buy it now price of 17K not 19K but it is located in FL. Worth a call maybe you could get it for less. Thats alot of tractor for the price. Have a fun time shopping :thumbsup:

17K, Dang! If I didn't already own one I'd haul it up to New England! I checked my warranty paperwork and Yanmar will honor the 5 year warranty if they are notified of the transfer by the original buyer. They will also change the engine and hydraulic oil and filters for free at 50hrs. Yanmar makes top tier equipment and engines, that LX on ebay is steal!

When I was shopping, I struggled between the LS XR4046HC and the Kioti DK50SE HST-C. I bought the Kioti but could have been equally happy with the LS. If the models you're looking at are as close as the two I looked at, it's probably a toss-up. In that situation, I'd go with the better dealer.
