    Brand new KIOTI dead on arrival

    I rejected Kubota for two reason. I broke my ankle years ago and I cannot work the treadle peddle as easily as the dual peddle. But worse was the local Kubota dealer. I asked if I could test the Kubota and the dealer gave a look of "Stupid Question!" and said, "Nope." I went a half mile down the...

    Brand new KIOTI dead on arrival

    Seriously, I have a Kioti and it has been great. I put about 200 hours a year in it. This is probably 10x what most neighbors do. I have moved thousands of tons of dirt, dug ditches, mowed...

    Sub-Compact/Compact Recommendations

    I have a Kioti CK3510. I think the smaller tractors like the BX2680 or the Kioti CK2610 are too light weight to be of much use. I have put more than 600 hours on the tractor in the last 4 years. It has been a great little tractor for me. I don't like Kubotas because the the treadle throttle...
