I'm thinking about a means to gain a bit stronger FEL w/o moving up too far in tractor cost or size. I'm currently looking at a 2016 Kubota MX4800 with similar hours and condition (nice!) to my 2010 Kioti DK35SE, both are geared. At first glance on Tractordata.com the Kubota has some advantages but when I researched engine torque, my Kioti has bit more than the Kubota which has 11 more hp at 38 vs. 49-so not much gained there.
The loader figures are hard to compare for me in real world use. I'd also being going from a non-regen tractor to re-gen which has it's anecdotal stories.
Kubota has an obviously stronger following overall but I've liked my two Kioti's. My current tractor has been down since April for what turned out yesterday to be a clutch replacement which lead to my looking at tractors.
Your thoughts?
