What features or improvements do you wish your Kioti had?

[Threepoint]

If money was no issue, I would be installed in a Grand L series Kubota, as the HST+ specs, and features are unrivaled in that class. They were not worth the extra 10K however, so I went with the best tractor I could afford, which was the Kioti. Great tractor and no regrets. Is the L3560 better than the CK35? absolutely, but the Kioti is the best bang for the buck.

Just My Opinion.

Interesting how you came to the Kioti. I've always been a Kubota guy, and I'm very fortunate that at this point in my life money really isn't an issue for me on this type of discretionary spending. A year ago I was about to pull the trigger on a 2014 Kubota Grand L series L4760 HST/Cab when I happened to look at the new Kioti NX series. After a lot more research, I decided that the NX4510HST Cab with the KL6010 loader was the much better value. My wife shopped right along with me, and actually preferred the cab interior on the Kioti in terms of roominess, seat comfort and instrument and control placement. We've never looked back. Not for a moment have I thought I might rather have the L4760, although it's certainly a fine tractor and I have nothing but good things to say about the brand!

The cab and capabilities of the Kioti are what pushed me in that direction. The Kubota was a the other tractor I was looking seriously at but the cab was tight and at 7k more, the Kioti won out. CJ

The NX wasn't available when I looked, and even if it was 45HP was more than I wanted. My closest comparison was the Kubota L3200, same price as the Kioti, but the Kioti had it beat in every way. I just wasn't going to spend 10K more on some nicer features and slightly better capacities for a Grand L.

How about a feature that allows me to take the tractor 10 minutes backwards in time so you can avoid making that horrible screw up you all know we sometimes make?

These tractors should last 5k hours without any major engine/drive-train component overhaul. Kioti should differentiate themselves in this market by offering some sort of long term transferable power-train type warranty, ie with appropriate "normal use" clauses. Risk to them here is obviously low as reports of major Kioti tractor problems on TBN is very low.

I thought a 4 year unlimited hour was pretty impressive myself? CJ

Is the warranty transferable on resale, maybe for a small fee to cover paperwork? Haven't checked, as I have no plans to ever sell the NX! Kubota used to do that, and may still.

I read it as 4 years non-transferable, and 2 years on the emissions/fuel systems. Yeah, they have stepped up some but could do better where known faults with major components are concerned. Just my 2 cents, having been shafted by the undependable, unsupported Zexel injector pump they used 5-6 years ago.

he NX looks to use a Delphi system.

not as common as Bosch, but Delphi is mainstream.
