More newbie kioti vs. Kubota

[grsthegreat]

Spinaltap... i was looking at a dealership in post falls Idaho that sell Kioti and TYM.this the same place your looking at??? He seamed like a nice guy...very knowledgeable.

Grs,
Yes, I believe his name is Brian. Seems like a good guy. He just recently picked up the kioti line, but has had tym for 6 yrs I think. Anyway, I'm still trying to sell the skid steer, but I stopped in today and I was mistaken. The 4000.00 dollar rebate doesn't include 0% financing as well, so it brings the grand L 4240 closer but the kubota dealer is willing to take the skid steer in on trade.... Decisions decisions decisions

yup....... it took me about 3-4 months to sell my old JD. They did not have the Kioti's in yet when i went there, but i found one at Hartells in wash that was on the lot. Love that tractor. If you ever want to drop by and drive it around...test drive it, just ask.

Paul seems very knowledgable... Someone I would buy from. I was in chewelah looking at some different tractors when I ran across paul and he had a dk40 on the lot. He was able to answer all my questions and more, and was able to take the skepticism away from the kioti product. He really knows his stuff. I wish I wasn't so impatient... Hahaha. Probably could save a lot of money if I was. I really like the two pedals on the kioti, as well as all of the other additional features... Oh well

ive had a few monor issues with mine, real minor, and Paul's just ordered the parts for me and offered to drop by and install the parts, but they were minor so I just had him mail the parts to me and i installed them

I will be getting a, 6 ft. Bush hog, box blade, front snow blade, rear snow blower, brush grapple, andrear snow blower... Anything else I may need????

I'm curious to hear your reasoning on the front snow blade. If you get the rear blower, wouldn't you prefer to leave the FEL on all winter?

After using both a rear and QA front plow I definitely prefer the front plow. I can move a lot more snow much faster with a front plow. With a good front plow I found little use for the FEL bucket in snow removal. Plus since the front plow is a quick attach I can switch between the plow and bucket quickly.

Here's the review I did for my snowplow.

Jumping in a little late here have you had a chance to really understand the benefits of the Grand L series Tractor and the HST plus trans. I don't believe that the Kioti is anything like it. I would also consider resale value and and the better finance rates when comparing the two. There is a reason that Kubota sells the amount of machines they do in the states. They hold there value better than anything else in there class and have a dealer network that is second to no other.
