Thinking of going from Kioti CS2410 to Kubota B2301, questions on lift and price.

That's too bad, nothing better at getting the staff familiar with the product. I did a build off their website, didn't seem to be that expensive

The open station "A" series tractors, and the "C" series tractors are pretty good. That being said, our "compact" line is just not very high quality compared to the expense. In fact, if someone comes to me wanting under a 50hp tractor, I honestly tell them to call the Kioti dealer across the street. I hope the appreciate the honesty, as I dont want to drive away business.

Who is making the case tractors now?

LS Makes some of them, some company in India makes the others. The 60hp and up tractors Case IH makes.

LS tractors don't seem to bad from what I have seen. I know they have some good lift capacities for their size. Though I have always thought Kioti made good machines for a fair price.

I havent personally been on an LS, but they seem to be pretty good performing for the cost. I love my Kioti, its just trying to do too many jobs for being one machine. May look at a CK27 or something like that and a walk behind mower in place of having one machine that does all.

Don't know the specifics of pork lawn situation, but before you pull the trigger on a large walk behind, you should check out a zero turn. Once you get used to a ZT, it's hard to think about going back to walking behind a lawnmower again.

Forgot to mention that my 33hp tractor loads 1000 lb loaded grape totes all day long with no problem, but when I have to go across the lawn, if it's soggy ( this is Oregon, it's always soggy) it sinks in and tears up the grass. I can't really think of a tractor that is big enough, yet light enough to do both jobs.

My tractor is the bobcat version of the Kioti CK 27 and I really like it. I have a zero turn for mowing but a lot of times I mow with a 6' rear finish behind the tractor. It does a great job and doesn't seem bad on the lawn as long as it's not wet. I have R 4 tires that are not loaded but my cab weighs about 400# and I will be adding wheel weights soon hopefully. It mows the open area better than the zero turn but the zero turn is much better with obstacles.

I've had both, frankly I prefer a walkbehind. I can cut faster and closer with a walkbehind vs a zero turn.

I've run my Land Price RFM behind my current tractor on my yard. It cut well, but I like stripes in my yard which the RFM wont do (the 2410 does it fine though). It also seemed pretty clumsy, but I have an obstacle filled yard.

LS Makes some of them,....

If LS makes some of the Case smaller units, no way I'd be chasing Case customers to Kioti if my paycheck came from Case. LS makes great machines. No disrespect to Kioti, they make good ones too. LS is top notch.

The closest LS dealer to us is over 3hrs away, not sending them there.
