Tractor size question

[670x]

Well let's see if it can get back on topic.
I was down in OKC and checked out the Kioti Dx6010 I think it was with a cab 55hp . The LS XR 4046hst with a cab and a TYM with a cab.
I liked the Kioti a lot but it's to small in the cab. I'm only 6" but that seat needed to go back at least 2 inches. It was nice and car like not sure about having an actual interior in a tractor but it was nice. I liked the LS a lot as well. It was bigger in the cab but the floor was not as flat as the Kioti.
I wish LS made a bigger hydrostat and I liked the control for the 3 point on the Kioti but I'm leaning to the LS due to the size of the operator station.
The TYM did not seem to be as refined as the other 2 but the loader looked beefier. All 3 were nice units though.

Sounds like it was actually an NX6010, which is 60hp gross, and 48hp PTO. They also have an RX6010, but that's a utility tractor that doesn't come with HST (wish it did or I would have probably bought one)....you wouldn't confuse the two.

It's interesting how things change so quickly. When I looked at open station LS R4047 and Kioti DK45SE, the Kioti has a more roomy operator's station. I did a test drive of a Kioti NX 4510 a while back and you're right...the cab could be a bit bigger (I'm not tall enough for it to matter). Maybe EricTheOracle will chime in on the seat issue...he replaced the seat on his Kioti NX6010 with a nice air-ride model, but I'm not sure if he changed the position or not.

I do not foresee you having any trouble at all with your LS 46hp 4wd tractor. I have a bigger set of discs than yours, that I pull with my 1965 JD710. It is over 5000lbs, two wheel drive and 50Hp. The wheel diameter is making a difference as well because the foot print is wider, more traction for you!

I have no idea which Kioti you're talking about because Kioti has a DS series, an NX series, a DX series, as well as an RX series. The out-going DX series and incoming NX series offer 55hp versions.

The NX series cab is the same size as everything in the class except John Deere, which has a smaller cab. I have a 31" inseam and the NX cab's seating position is fine for me. Like a car, the seats can be slid backward.

It was a 55 hp Hydro with a cab. I'm not sure which one now either I should have taken a picture. I did think it was strange that it was like a 6010 with 55 hp. The dealer was great and very knowledgeable If i lived down there I would have no problem working with him.
The cab itself was fine it's just the seat was way to close to the wheel. I really needed another couple of stops back on the seat to be comfortable, it was a lot better on the LS. BTW the LS dealer down there was really a nice guy as well. They both spent time with me even though they knew I was not going to buy one from them.

They make an NX4510, 5010, 5510 and 6010 all on the same frame, with the same size engine that is tuned for different power outputs. The 5510 and 6010 have larger wheels/tires, but that's the only difference I can think of. So, it was probably a 5510 you tried out.

And with the seat slide all the way forward too! :laughing:

Nope I even asked the dealer is this as far as it goes back? He said nope lift the lever up I did and it went about an inch back and that was it.

Kioti only makes 1 55HP HST Cab tractor, NX5510. I think either the seat was forward (it slides), or the steering wheel was tilted forward (pretty sure the wheel tilts on NX series) I find it hard to believe the NX was tight. Pretty sure the main reason Eric bought the NX was because the cab was bigger than most other tractors in that class.

If you otherwise liked the tractor, why not investigate moving the seat back a bit? Surely that is doable with some new holes or whatever it takes, unless there are components behind it that would interfere, which I would doubt. I am 6' tall, and I have yet to sit on a Kubota where the seat doesn't go back even further than I would need.
