Massey 1835M HST vs Kioti CK4010SE HST

[docwisdom]

I have narrowed my tractor purchase down to two models and really need some help pulling the trigger. The Kioti is a good deal but is the Massey that much better for an extra few grand and sacrificing the canopy and 3rd function?

Both manufacturers have dealers in the area but can't get stock soon, so I would be purchasing out of the area with whats in stock at those dealers.

Kioti CK4010SE HST
$37,118
$14,000 down
$318 for 84 months @ 4.25%
$800 delivery (out of town)

• Dual rear remotes included
• R14 Tires
• Loader w/66" quick attach bucket & bolt on cutting edge
• Backhoe w/16" bucket
• 3rd function kit
• 72" Box Scraper
• RimGuard
• Hydraulic top link
• Block heater
• Canopy
• Insurance

Concerns: backhoe is difficult to take on/off, parts chain and reliability have been in question by other dealers and some youtube videos, shipping is pricey.

Massey 1835M HST
$41,500
$14,000 down
$410 for 84 mo @ 5.25%

• R1 tires
• Loader with 72" bucket
• Backhoe with 16" bucket
• 72" Box scraper
• RimGard

• Insurance
• NO 3rd function
• NO canopy

Concerns: more money for less features, lead time may be a month (which may be an issue, we have work to do)

From what I can see by websites and tractor data, I’m not sure you are comparing apples to apples.
While I think I got a good deal on my Kioti ck2610 HST, and am very happy with it, the Massey you are quoting seems to have more weight, larger wheels larger bucket, perhaps more differences.

There are differences, yes, and I am trying to debate if the Massey differences are worth the price and subtracting the canopy+3rd function.

From what I see, it's going to cost another $2000 for the Massy-Fergusion to add a 3rd function kit, an additional rear hydraulic remote and a canopy. Also, you need to ask Kioti to lower their delivery charge. Unless the Kioti dealer is over 250 miles away, I consider $800 for delivery exorbitant. Maybe just put that $800 into a trailer purchase.

I have a CK4010SE and now have 670 hours on the machine. So far, other than normal maintenance, I have had no issues. It's an extremely reliable tractor. Also got the backhoe for culvert work, rain water collection tanks, a septic tank install, 380 feet of French drains and also preparation and installation of two large steel Ranch Gates.
