Not just made by Kioti but virtually identical except for paint, decals and loader/BH.

Technically daedong makes them both including the engine. The loaders are different Not sure who built kioti's I think daedong. Bobcat had rhino build there backhoes and early loaders then some where around 2010 bobcat started building there own loaders. I like both tractors a lot but I like the newer bobcat loader the best of the bunch it doesn't lift is high but I believe has higher lift capacity and sits closer to the front of the tractor. Another thing I can't figure out is the CK 27 has one more horsepower than the CT 225 and they seem to be almost identical tractors. I wonder if there truly is a horsepower difference or if it's just marketing.

So I am seriously thinking about buying a CT335 and I realize that I don't know who makes the engine in a Bobcat/Kioti.

Little help?

On the engine will be and ID tag with manufacturer and HP rating. Just pop the hood and look.

All Bobcat white tractors have Daedong (Kioti) engines identical to the Kioti twin tractor. A CT335 is the same as a DK35se. CT445 same as DK45se etc.
