What is considered low hour in the tractor market? Less than 1k?Look for a 2-13 tractor with low hours, that is what I did

I would say that for commercial machines and large ag tractors low hours would be under 1k.What is considered low hour in the tractor market? Less than 1k?
Mine ck4010) is at about 20 hours, but the button isn’t involved. The light comes on, it starts regen, and you keep on working. Just up the engine speed to 2400 rpm or so.500 hours? That's not common on a Kioti. Most people are 20-50 hours between
When I was at my local Massey dealer who also sells yanmars,he said yanmars awful financing makes people not want them.Anyway, correct me if you want but it’s very off topic from the original 35 HP thread.
On a flip side, got another quote back for the Yanmar YT235 for $26,800 (without a rebate) but their financing is rough. Usually you have to put 20-40% down to get 0% interest.
Kioti has 0% for 60/72 months so that’s something to consider too. The CK3520SEs are nice!!
At 35hp you’re dealing with tier 4 emissions. If using for finish mowing 25 hp will be less hassle in the long run. However if doing heavy work 35 is minimum HP. Kioti is just as reliable as the others with better price point. Kubota is king but not much bells and whistles unless you willing to purchase SE version. Yanmar tractor is good but few dealerships. Gold standard is the yanmar motor. Not sure on rest of the tractor others will need to share thoughts that own one. The tier 4 emissions are the weak spot on all manufacturers granted things improved from 2017 but you need to run the diesel motor higher revs and under load to address soot control. If you get turbo make sure you observe oil requirements in cold regions or you will hand grenade the turbo they need thin oil in the winter. Just buying a tractor is not as easy as was in the 90’s. Question everything when shopping if you don’t you’ll own the problems down the road.I’m in the market for a 35 HP tractor and I’ve done a lot of research as a first time buyer.
The tractor will mostly being used for dirt work around the house (2 flat acres) and lifting items with the FEL. I also have 100 acres of hunting property to brush hog roads/shooting lanes, and plant about 5 acres of food plots.
Dealers seem to be a hot topic when it comes to tractors so I’ve narrowed it down to these, their time selling the tractors and distance from me.
YT235 - 2 dealers (1 has been selling Yanmar for 8 years and is 25 miles away, they only sale yanmar products). Other one is 40 miles away, didn’t get details on selling time
Kioti ck3520SE - 27 miles away, only been selling Kioti for 8 months.
Kubota L3302 (or L3902) - 2 dealerships within 20 miles. Been selling as long as I can remember.
Anyone have any experiences with these tractors, part availability, etc? I’d be doing as much repair work myself as possible.
My Kubota MX did its first regeneration at right around 75 hours.I have over 50 and yet to see the light but I am not doubting you. This came from a salesman. Only 1 small step up from a politician.
I heard they are legal copies of older IH machines, not Massey Ferguson.India Mahindra are legal copies of the older Massey Ferguson models.
