Comparison Kioti rx7320 vs kubota 7060

[Mugeye]

Hello I'm new to this forum and this is my first post . I'm from a small town in northern Alberta Canada . I have a small sheep farm with a couple quarters of land . I'm looking for a primary haying and feeding tractor . I'll be up to 200 ewes soon and will be making about 200-300 6' bales a year . I have a 9' hesston haybine and a Vermeer 605h baler . . I think a 60-70 pto hp will do it . Must have a cab . I have a kioti and kubota dealer about a hour away . Closest for me . I will be paying cash . Rx is 55k with the power shuttle and two remotes . Kubota is 59k same opinions . I like that the kioti is heavier and lift more and the dealer is nice but a small timer . Kubota is more experienced making tractor. Any thoughts ?

Both good tractors and both will likely do what you want.

No question the RX is a little bigger machine. ~5500 pounds vs 5000, a little stronger loader, a little stronger 3PH, and 11.2-24 front tires instead of 9.5-24's. But other than that pretty similar.

If you look beyond HP and what a kubota model that compairs closer "physically" to the RX, look at the M8560. But thats going to cost more than the 7060 too.

Either machine will handle your bales and the tasks you list. And both good machines and brands with a solid reputation. And being close in cost, my decisions wouldnt come down to price and 500 pound difference. My decision would come down to which machine I felt more comfortable on.

As long as there were no differences to set them way apart in some aspect like loader lift or one having a much better set of gears than the other I also would want the machine I felt the most comfortable on.

The Kioti comes standard with a 12/12 shuttle shift transmission. The Kubota has a 8/8 standard, with a 12/12 option. Which trans in the Kubota are you pricing out?

12/12 compared to the 8 will probably throw the Kubota up even more in price making the winner the Kioti. As I doubt the comfort level of one is going to be that much better than the other to compensate for the difference but I honestly haven't tested both of these tractors

Same gears

Both very good tractors.

Dealers are important too. Which dealer could come through for you in a machine down situation and get you back up when you need hay put up before it rains, for example?

Hi Mugeye,

Are those prices with or without a loader?

Both with loader . Both same gears . Both ag tires . Both two remotes. Cash price out the door

I have a 7060 It was purchased to replace a 60 HP Kioti that was stolen and totalled. Both nice tractors.. Do like the features on the 7060, ePTO feature, over drive for road gear, excellent fuel economy nice little tractor, seems to be kind of rough riding, but think that is just wheelbase platform size, suggest upgrade to air ride seat. As far as loader capacity I use My 108 for most loader work and haven't really utilized that .....
Dealer is most important!! local Kubota here has been disappointing considering everything I have is orange.......and like any dealer, they like to charge like half screwed buffalo's, but seem to fall short on performance.


Cheers!!
