What does a Kioti XXXXXX compare to ............

What does a CK35HST compare to in a Kubota in terms of size, weight, PTO power (26.5), etc?

What about a Kioti DK35SE HST?

DK40SE HST?

Need a multi task tractor for cutting about 11 acres of lawn (not real thick grass) which will be a 5 or 6ft RFM, 4 acre field (bush hog), FEL, post holes, etc. NO snow duties.

If I had 11 acres of "lawn" to cut I would be getting a good sized zero turn mower and use the extra cash to pick up a little smaller tractor with loader. My opinion though. I used to cut about 5 acres with a 6' finish mower and it took some time to get around the house/trees etc.

I' currently have since moved from my 11 acres and purchased a house with 4 acres. I use a JD riding mower and a 25 HP 4x4 tractor for the other projects

Looked into the ZTR route already. Not going with it because the faster you go, the rougher the ride and the lawn isn't golf course smooth. I don't want to be jostled around like a bobble head doll.

A CK 35 or DK 35 can handle a 7' rear discharge mower with no problem.
I finish mow just over 7 acres with a DK 35 and 7' First Choice rear discharge in around 3 hour 20 minutes.
My yards no smooth enough to try mowing any faster.

Kubota's equilivant is the L3400 (which is a bit larger physicaly). There is a B3300SU coming shortly that will be a bit closer.

If you where leaning ZTR, a Ferris can probably fit what your looking to do. Their suspension system will run on rough ground just fine... but then your only mowing grass.

Hi Robert White,
No idea the area you live in. When I was looking for my tractor I took a Saturday and visited the Kioti, Kubota and John Deere dealers in my area. The furthest away was the Kioti dealer, about 2 1/2 hour drive away. This is my first tractor and had never used or even driven one before so wanted to get it right, other wise it could be a big mistake. Just like a car, ask to drive the tractors that are comparable in size. It took me about six months to make up my mind and am very happy with my 2008CK 35 HST. Got 182 hours on it now. In some cases you are paying as much as a car for your tractor, most people would visit several dealerships and take vehicles out for a test drive. That would be the best way for you to decide witch one is best suited to your needs.

The CK lineup is basic a competitor to the Kubota B series. The B series is lighter and generally optomized for lawn mowing (weight) but is a very capable small CUT. The CK27, 30 and 35 all all physically larger and heavier than the roughly equivalent horsepower Kubotas and the CK KL 130 loaders are a bit stronger or at least have higher rated lift capacity than the L403.

The DK series is closer to the Kubota L and Grand L. They have more deluxe features than the L and compare to the Grand L in that arena but the Grand L has a fancier next generation HST and the Kioti HST is more like the L series tranny.

The Ck20 is most comparable to the B series. The CK27, 30 and 35 are physically larger and outweigh the B's by about 1,000 lbs. The L's are near the CK's in physical size and power, but weigh about 300lbs less. The Grand L 32 and 34 HP machines are physically larger and out weigh the CKs and are more inline with the DKs, but do have the cadillac of all HST transmissions. The L series and larger CK seems best for your needs, but if you have the money a Grand L 3440 would be the cat's behind.
