Anyone almost sold on a NX4510 then went with a comparable tractor instead, which brand/model, why?
Thanks.
Thanks.
What other brands/models compare well to a NX4510 HST?

Kubota mx5200. The overall tractor was very appealing to me. The 60 months 0% and Kubota insurance was a big push too. The kioti loader that i tried wouldn't let down as smoothly as the kubota either.

What tractor brand is NX4510? How much does it weigh?
How much does your Long 2485 weigh?
The fundamental importance of TRACTOR WEIGHT eludes many tractor shoppers. Heavier tractor weight is more important for most tractor applications than increased tractor horsepower. Bare tractor weight is a tractor specification easily found in sales brochures and web sites, readily comparable across tractor brands and tractor models, new and used.
When considering a tractor purchase, bare tractor weight first, tractor horsepower second and (narrowly) rear wheel ballast third.

Better for the OP to answer.
Kioti, about 6000lb with loader and tires, Long is about the same but has a Westendorf loader that can lift a small house. The Kioti NX has many standard features, a strong loader, and 3 pt. hitch. I'm upgrading because the Long is 2wd, manual trans, and the hydraulics have seen better days. I also want to go Top/Tilt and don't want to put $$ into the Long. The Long engine is great.

Test the loader hydraulics. The kioti I test drove had jerky loader movement. No matter what I did, I couldn't make it smooth.
