It has come down to the LS MT225HE or the Kioti CK2620

[LS Tractor Owner]

A concern I have is that the M225HE and the MT226HE (not cab) uses the Mitsubishi SL32 engine, which seems to be limited in its usage?

I wonder if I will have part problems.

That Mitsubishi engine is used in many, many pieces of equipment. It has been around for probably 20 years.....

You can even buy a turbo for it right on Ebay!

I even downloaded the engine service manual online for free! It covers everything from disassembly to rebuild.

I don't think there will be a parts supply issue.

Well, I went with the LS tractor in the LS MT2 25s model. I couldn't get past the foot controls on the Kioti Hydro all on one side with the PTO clutch on the left side. LS makes New Holland's small series tractors and the dual foot controls are in the right place for me with the brake on the left side. I'm sure I could probably get used to the Hydro Controls and Brake all on the same side and a PTO clutch on the left side, but I decided not to. LS has the electric PTO and it's really nice. Remote Hydraulics are easy to add and Summit has some fantastic kits for Front and Rear remotes at resonable prices.
