YAY! Bought my 1st tractor today - Kioti CK27HST

[davrow]

I've been shopping for months, with the help and advice from many here.

I only have about 3 workable acres and i wanted a backhoe, so started by looking at Kubota BX25D. Nice little tractor, but the longer I spent on TBN the more I decided I needed something with better ground clearance and just a little bit bigger. Not a lot of local dealers here so I was having trouble comparing.

My wife and I just got back from 3 days at the World Ag Expo where I got to sit on every model that interested me, except for a TYM 353. And, surprisingly, the CKs were the only tractors (in my price range) that had all the features I want.

So we came home and bought one!

I don't get it for probably 3 weeks since they need to get the backhoe from NC and the weather there is playing havoc with deliveries. But after almost a year shopping 3 weeks is manageable. Gives me time to shop for attachments!

Thanks to all for helping me spend my money,

David

Here is a pic of the property, since I don't have good tractor pics yet.



The house you see is our neighbor, not our house.
