Yanmar ex3200 or Kioti Ck30HST

[Katahdin]

Fuel efficiency edge goes to the Yanmar engine, its direct injection and has a larger bore and shorter stroke. With those two factors you're going to use less fuel which will probably negates the slightly smaller tank. You haven't said how long you plan to keep the tractor, but my money would be on the piston rings and bearings lasting longer in the Yanmar before a rebuild is needed. Of course, I'm slightly biased towards that brand. Enjoy whichever tractor you choose!

I think the EX3200 is very similar to John Deere 3005. Yanmar builds the 3005 for JD.

The CK30 is good tractor but a common problem with them is the sticking hydro pedal.

congrats on the new Kioti. Welcome to the Pack! I used mine to blow snow today. Still love it after nearly 8 years now.
