Kubota L3130DT
I currently have a Kubota L3130 dt and am looking for something at minimal similar but with front or rear hydraulics for a grapple and a bit heavier lift capacity on the loader. I'm looking at a 2023 NS4710 used with 24 hours on it for $26500. First what does the NS compare to in Kubota? Second I saw a 2004 DK55/c with 1157 hours for $22000. What does the DK compare to in Kubota? I kinda like the Idea of a cab in western Michigan in the winter but I also feel like that price is a few thousand higher than it should be. Any opinions?

Probably the NS would compare best to an L4760 and an L5030 to the DK.

Good luck with your decisions. :)

Thanks. This reminds me of pickup shopping after 20 years. Wow these are expensive and used isn't much cheaper.

I could be wrong. I remember reading something about them a while ago.

I have two Kioti tractors, and they have proven to be less expensive to buy than other brands, and very reliable. I would not hesitate to buy a 3rd Kioti if I needed one.

if I'm not mistaken, when Kioti first started out, they bought the out of date tooling from Kubota and then painted their tractors a shade of orange and Kubota sued them for Trade Dress. Don't know what the outcome was but I will say, if there was a Kioti dealer nearby and they built a large enough unit for my use, I'd consider one as well. They don't however and closest dealer to me is a Branson-TYM dealer and they are decidedly too small for my use. More of a suburbanite unit. besides, I work for my Kubota dealer part time so having anything else would be tantamount to desertion.
