Kioti VS Century

[chris9n_in_CT]

Hello all,

New to the board and happy to be here. I currently have a 1941 9N and I am looking to purchase a new machine. I am looking at the Kioti DK 35 with a 1450 loader and a Century 2535 with a c-50 loader. price is close to the same with the Kioti being slightly higher. The Century looks to be at least as good if not marginally better by specs and personal inspection. The Kioti seems to have a very good rep, and the Century none. what are the goods and bads of either machine?

Thanks Chris

Hello Chris, welcome to the board. I own a DK35 w/KL1450 loader and have no complaints with its performance. Having a good dealer is number one on any brand you decide on. Without support from the dealer all problems on any brand become very frustrating.

HI and welcome to TBN. I have a Kioti DK45 with loader, back hoe, grader, tiller, rock rake, grill guard, and canopy. I have run JD's and Kubotas in the past and I am totally impressed with the Kioti. Was thinking of going with a 35 Hp machine but decided to go up a notch or two so I wouldn't work it too hard. The bigger tires, 12 over 12 tranny, and the extra horse power are VERY nice. Glad I went bigger. I figured I will probably only do this once so better get it right.

Kioti=two thumbs up! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
