New tractor purchase

[Torvy]

I'm not sure. I know that Kubota and Landpride are in a close business connection where Kubota dealers sell Landpride in Kubota colors, etc. Somebody owns part of somebody. In studying the Kioti site you posted the lines of cutter are very similar but many differences in brackets, attachment fixtures, chain protectors, etc. The model numbers do not quite line up either. I have to back off and say I really don't know.

Looks like Kubota effectively bought them in 2016.

What are some other options in the same price range for grapples other than MTL? I can't get any info from MTL when they will be back in stock on most of their products

Not sure what price range, but I have found grapples at Ironcraft.com (formerly Titan Implement), Everything Attachments, Landpride and Bad Boy.

Congrats on the very nice looking tractor! I haven't heard very much bad about the Kioti. Most owners really love them. I didn't have a dealer close when I was looking or would have checked them out.

Can't someone come up with a more tasteful color choice? I wouldn't allow that on the property let alone be seen riding on it.

Harley can only dream of the things Mother Deere has accomplished when it comes to squeezing every last dime out of it's customer base.
