Looking at a new Kioti, suggestions

[dirtracer28a]

I am ready to get rid of my old John Deere and get something newer nicer and a cab. Im looking for something in the 60-70 hp range, cab, front wheel assist, and a loader. I want the best bang for my buck and have looked at a Kioti and was planning on looking at an LS. The Kioti Im looking at is the RX7320. Has anyone had any problems with their Kioti, any info or suggestions would be appreciated. I will be feeding hay, not baling any as I buy mine and will be pulling my 10' bushhog with it.

My Kioti dealer can drive whichever series/model he wants, and his personal tractor is an RX7320 with cab. I'm pretty sure it's the power shuttle. Loves it. Clears snow for the state in a subdivision and mows. I'm thinking it would do what you have in mind, no problem.

I am happy with my much smaller DK35se. I do mostly loader work, and repairing of my road lately from all the rain we have had with my grader blade has become a priority. Kioti's are good tractors. LS's are too.

Much smaller DK40 here with no problems to report.

Make sure to get a Kioti with enough PTO HP to run the hog.

Thanks for the information. Has anyone had a chance to compare the kioti to the ls? I'm going to try to go look at an ls today, never looked at one up close. The kioti dealer and ls dealer are about 50 miles apart so can't do a side by side comparison. The kioti seemed like a very well built tractor, which surprised me as bad as that sounds. I figured it would be a cheesy cheap thing, so I just looked at one just to say I did after thinking I was going new holland and changed my mind after checking it out.

The biggest thing that I like about Kioti is that they're built like a small farm tractor, not a big lawn tractor.

I compared all the brands when I was shopping. I was impressed with both Kioti and LS but the comfort of the machine is very important and the LS machines did not all feel comfortable to me. LS builds a lot of tractors for New Holland but I don't know exactly which ones or all the differences on every model.
I understand about being surprised when looking at Kioti for the first time. I was actually going to look at New Holland when I first encountered Kioti. Unknown to me the dealer had switched brands and was now selling Kioti.

There's no cheesiness with any Kioti. They're number 3 in sales world wide, competing with JD and Kubota. I've owned 2 Kiotis and had no real trouble with either. Take a look at my signature and list of implements I run in Vermont. From the high 90's to -20*F, year round, plowing snow, digging out stumps, it does whatever I throw at it. S. Korea is no slacker when it comes to building solid, dependable tractors.

That's what impresses me when I use my CK35. It is a "proper" tractor, just a smaller size for smaller jobs.:thumbsup:

However my son-in-law, who can't help being a smart a**, insists that its just a big lawn mower because it can have a MMM. (Kids these days have no respect for their elders!)
