Looking to buy a compact tractor, not sure which

I'll agree with Charlie. If you don't plan to mow, there is really no reason to consider a sub-compact tractor.

( The big 3s offerings are aimed at mowing but compromise dirt work. The Kioti and Mahindra are aimed at dirt work but compromise mowing.)

Wow ...that's it in a nutshell isn't it. Nicely done. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Although I must say I'm fairly impressed with the MMM on my CK20. But I've only two or three hours on it so can't be too enthusiastic at this point. Regards, J

ok, I've looked a bit at the Mahindra and Kioti on-line, To get the 4wd, on the Mah- I loose hydostaic trans, and the Kioti ck class doen't offer 4wd. anybody know what the Partial Constant Mesh type of trans is about? in looking at both modled on-line, looks like the CK20 series would be nice if they had 4WD, and the Mah- 2615 would be nice if it had hydo trans. I have both dealers in my town so I can go check them out,. Any feedback on these two tracktor... thanks for all the info.

Both the Kioti 'CK' series and the Mahindra '15' series are 4WD tractors and both have HST transmission options.

I just purchased a CK30hst TLB a few months ago. I'll I can say is I'm very impressed with the power and comfort. I was looking to purchase a Kubota, JD or Kioti. The Kioto won hands downs. Many more options and much more tractor for your money. That's only my thoughts!!

( and the Kioti ck class doen't offer 4wd. )
All the Kioti models are now switchable from 2WD to 4WD. Some of the older LK models 2552, 3052 etc. were only 2WD, but that's not the case any longer. The CKs have always been 4WD/2WD.

 * The 2 are very much like each other.
-------My BX 23 was $15500 delivered to me and included the 60"MMM..How does that compare with the MF 2310 price you are talking about.-----------

Surely you're not talking $10500 for the 2310!

I would find it hard to believe Massy or any other brand would sell a new tractor Loader Back Hoe and mid mount 60' mower for anything anywher near ten thousand bucks.

if anyone knows of such a deal let me know - I will take it tommorow.

actually where I'm at the bx with bucket and BH was about 19K and the Massy 2300 was about 14K no mmm.

Well, I must say tahnks to everyone for your help and feedback. I went ahead and made me a purchase today. I bought the Kubota 7510Hydo. witha bush hog loader and scrape blade. I looked at the Mahindra 2310 while there even thought it was slightly larger and slightly more power I had to go with the Kubota. I did some reasearch in my area of resell value and saw a better response on the Kubota. thanks for all your help. I get it monday and can't wait to get to work
