Comparison TYM 394 VS KIOTI CK4010

[hilltop Haven Farm]

These are the 2 I am down 2. wanna buy tomorrow. Price is pretty much the same. First my property is 45 acres all very hilly. 20 acres field, 20 acres woods, and 5 acre horse farm. I will be using to maintain logging roads, manure, brush hogging, log skidding, etc. I have driven both and I am torn and cant decide. HELP

Lots of reports about TYM being sketchy to get parts from.

Also what doesn't help the decision is both dealers are the same distance away and both seem fantastic.

How do they compare on price? If that's a consideration....

Kioti

Whats your reason for kioti?

Not to throw a monkey wrench in the plans, but for 45 acres of hilly land I think you should be considering a tractor that has enough size, weight, and horsepower to handle 6ft implements.

Something equivalent in size to a Kubota L4701 or Kubota MX series would be good. I'm not too familiar with the Kioti and TYM model line up, but something in the 3500+lbs and 6ft width would be ideal.

that makes sense but on a limited budget. I can get either of these tractors for under 20k with the loader and filled tires.
