Still searching for that perfect tractor for myself. I've pretty much narrowed it down to the 3 above. I understand the bobcat and kioti are pretty much the same machine except color. Although I did read somewhere the bobcat does not have position control? Can anyone confirm this? I really like the CC/Yanmar product but seems like it's lift capacities are lacking compared to the others? From all my price comparisons they pretty much are priced the same, with the ex3200 being 1,500-2000 cheaper. All are priced with a loader. ex3200 15,000 out the door and the other 2 right at 16,000 plus tax.. So that's almost 2500 cheaper on the ex3200.. it's beginning to sound like a no brainer. What do you guys think?
ck30 vs ct230 vs ex3200

The BC has position control. On the basic tractor, the BC/Kioti are identical. The only difference is that Kioti offers it in shuttle shift or HST. BC does not offer the SS. The SS will save you a little money. The main differences are in attachments. The loaders are different, and you can get a belly mower for the BC (and probably make it fit a Kioti too).
You have to decide if the BC/Kioti offer performance enhancements that outweigh the cost differential.
Don't hear too much about the EX3200. Would worry a little about brand/product long-term viability.
