Been looking to replace an old Cub Cadet 7260 4WD 26hp gear tractor that I love dearly. Mostly mowing and rolling my driveway, 6 foot tiller, 6 foot rear mount mower and a 6 foot box blade, some wood chipping with a Woodmaxx 8 inch chipper.
I like the light weight 2600 lbs. without FEL and I mow a lot on side hills that reach 18 degrees incline. My old Cub tractor starts well in the cold and just sips fuel.
I'm intrigued by the Kioti CK2610 gear drive and seems like the price point at around 16 grand with a loader is about 3k less than the comparable Kubota.
I have a larger L3940 for bigger duties so this one wouldn't see much heavy stuff, I'm actually tempted to sell it off if I can get by with this little machine.
What I really like is no emissions on the engine, no DPFor EGR.
Does anyone have one yet? Downsides to owning a Kioti? Would you buy another? Don't want to start a brand war over it.
Are all 26hp and under machines non Tier 4? I guess I never paid attention. This Kioti looks like a good turbo candidate :licking:
Thanks, Fred
