Hi,
New forum member here. I'm finally ready to buy a tractor for the 40 acres of wood and field my wife and I got last year. I've tried out tractors at all of the local dealers. The tractor that I liked most was a Kioti DK4510 with the Hydro Shuttle transmission. I've been asking questions on the main forum, but I figured I should break out my Kioti questions onto this forum.
I'm certain the tractor meets my needs. I went a size up. I figure I need 25HP at the PTO, and it's got 41.6HP. I rode the tractor and dug around in a dirt pile, so I know it's nice to use. It can take the implements I care about.
Is it a good, reliable tractor? For those of you with Kioti tractors, are you satisfied? (Of course, the Kubota dealer kept telling Kioti horror stories, but I don't give them much credence.)
Finally, is this pricing good? I don't need 0% financing because I expect to pay the tractor off early.
Kioti DK4510HS $34,121 (84 month, 5.99% financing)
Tractor & Loader w/R1 Tires $22,325
Rim Guard $380
Woods BB72X 72" Rotary Cutter $2,415
Extendable Lower Links $258
Floor Mat $0
Block Heater $68
Erskine 725FM 72" Front Snowblower: $7,850 + $825 Hoses & Labor
Thanks for any help you can give!
