This is a personal choice. I also got both my final tractor choices down to Kubota or Kioti. Went with Kioti for my first tractor mainly because the dealer was just 3 miles away. And since most of the Kioti implements are made by Woods, I have been extremely happy with my choice of Kioti. Later I did purchase a Kubota
GR2120 mower, and have been very happy with that purchase. However, since the Kioti tractor has been so extremely reliable, I have never actually brought it into the Kioti dealer for any warranty maintenance in five years. Parts are ordered online for delivery to my house. In the end, the significant cost savings for choosing Kioti, allowed me to purchase a quality PTO wood
chipper implement, which has been put to work extensively.
