DK4720se Tractor Review (Kubota guy buys a Kioti)

In this video I give a review on my new tractor that I bought to maintain my property. I have used many different brands of tractors from Massie Feguson, Kubota, John Deere. I have put 25 hours on the tractor in order to give the most honest review as I can with it still being pretty much new. In those hours I have used the front-end loader, rear blade, bush hog, and more. If you have any questions or comments, please let us know in the comments below. Thank you for watching.

Kioti tractors are great. I love mine. They have been making tractors for over sixty years. And they make pretty much everything that’s on it. Except tires , hoses etc.

[@whilomforge3402]

My father-in-law is a Kubota guy. He lets me borrow his BX anytime I want, but I had the same issue you did. I really hated to put hours and wear out his tractor, even though he didn’t mind at all. I started looking for my own unit well over a year ago. I decided on the Kioti, and I could not be any happier with it.

[@18twilliams]

There is nothing wrong with Kioti tractors. You get more tractor for less money. I have had a kioti for yrs. not 1 problem or breakdown in 10 yrs.

[@EmotoOregon]

Had to go with the kubota over the kioti because the dealership at kioti didn't have any implements i needed. So far, I'm super happy. All of today's tractors seem very good.

[@wrenchbenders]

Kubota makes a great tractor. The 2 my dad has we have had since I was a teenager, and we have worked them pretty hard. Lot of good tractors out there. All about personal taste, the deal, and the dealer. Congratulations on your new tractor.

Kioti 5310 , I love that tractor, never any issues and it gets it's ass kicked on a regular basis. Butch Ashland Ohio

Mind is 18 yrs old and still going strong..best tractor made..

[@grandpa7278]

Oregon, month ago bought a new DK 4720, bucket and a 6-foot brush hog, 10hrs so far. Funny, could've afforded a new Mustang GT, but more excited about my new tractor. btw, feels high quality! ....no doubt

[@jeffsullivan3362]

I'm happy for you man. You're livin' the life.

[@egandawson4106]

Glad to find your review. I'm looking at this exact same model now and I have been contemplating on pulling the trigger

[@wrenchbenders]

The only thing I wish right now is that I would have bought more horsepower, but that would have cost more money, and I don't think I need it as much as I just want it. Lol

[@JohnSmith-dj5gf]

Real nice tractor. What I like about the DK’s is they have a 71in wheelbase which is perfect for a small farm. The advantage that Kioti offers is that you can get that frame size all the way up to 60hp. Can’t get that with Kubota or Massey without going to a larger more cumbersome machine. The original Ford 8N had a 70in wheelbase, perfect size. I’ll take my Kioti as a DK5310SE cab with dual rear remotes, hydraulic top link, and third function. Might have to settle for an open station tho due to cost lol. Good video!

[@DonnieDarko727]

Bought that exact tractor

[@haus05]

Great video man ! if the tractor makes you happy then so be it , Back on May 5th I got my brand new 2023 Kubota grand L 3560 Cab model with the LA 805 loader, a 72" box scraper, air ride seat , heated mirrors , mid pto kit with a front mounted 64" snowblower , full LED light upgrade (headlights and work lights front and back) Stereo etc like loaded ! it was rainy and gross that do so we unloaded the tractor (4.6 hours on the unit from PDI) and parked it , drove it to my neighbours the next day and it just died on the road , idling up and down rpms all over the place and just died ... called kubota they said its likely a fuel issue and should work itself out , IT never worked it self out shipped the tractor back to the dealership with 9 hours total run time )during those additional hours it kept having that same issue ) they kept it for two weeks said it was all good and shipped it back to me with 24.5 hours on it. got back from working out of town started it up and low and behold it did the same stalling out issue again. long story short kubota had to get me an entirely brand new unit and replace the lemon they sold me . this just goes to show that any manufacturer / brand can be junk . the new unit works flawlessly so far !

[@wrenchbenders]

Dad's two kubota tractors have been awesome. I actually felt bad confessing to dad that I bought a Kioti. He has operated my tractor and likes it, and as I type this message, we used his kubota to dig a water line. Every tractor I have ever operated was the best tractor for the job at hand. Lol

[@lyndonhamby7432]

I have a Kioti. Love it 💪🏻👍

[@rikkilee9409]

they just moved the dk loader stick location on DK a cutting edge made a huge improvement peeling sod and virgin earth 1/2'' x 6'' x 72''

[@philsymes2247]

I have a two month old 4720 cab unit. I love this tractor. I also have a Kubota bx2670 with 900 hrs on it and it’s been flawless. Couldn’t buy a bota for the price of the kioti. Glad I didn’t. Cab is high quality and love heat this time of year in Wisconsin. I had a tracked loader so put the skid steer connections on the third function. Grapple bucket and a brush hog work great on it. Have to try the fence post pounder in the spring. I would buy another kioti in a hot second.

[@cbrookb]

I bought a bobcat tractor. (Same tractor as a Kioti) I'm a previous owner of both Kubota and JD. I couldn't be happier with my tractor. So much so, that I am seriously considering starting a Kioti dealership at one of my commercial properties.

[@wrenchbenders]

What model did you get, and how many horsepower?

[@cbrookb]

35 hp. CT2035. Added front 3rd function, 4 rear remotes, and rimguard, cruise control, some other stuff.

[@wrenchbenders]

I almost bought the CT equivalent the Ck. I am sure it would have worked great for me, but the DK reminded me of my dad's tractor in size and feel. I guess trying to assimilate costs me more money. Lol

[@andycalcutt2177]

Great video, getting ready to pull the trigger on an NS4510 or 6010 haven't decided yet. Great video, just submitted.

[@wrenchbenders]

If you have the money and it is the same frame size, always go bigger. No one ever said they wished they had less horsepower.

[@warrenmaker798]

Tractor Envy... 😄

[@user-pi5xw2um5f]

Good tractor

[@marvinbrickhouse9122]

I got the 2021 4710 almost the same as yours the 10 series is the older model style mine has loader control on the loader but other than that same machine. you will love it I got the top link too. I regen almost every 40 hrs no issues I just keep working you don’t have to park just keep your rpm’s up above the pto rated mark as long as regen light is on. You will smell the regen before you see the light it smells like propane to me. I’ve got 188 hrs so far no issues and work it hard.

[@Newfiestang50]

Nice review but cant believe nobody is talking about the two new optional features on the 20 series CK & DK that IMO are huge, the linked pedal and loader RPM increase kit. IMO this puts these tactors above the competion in this class. These features to my knowledge were previousely only available on the NX and Kubota Grand L tractors.

[@lonewolfFirearms]

I purchased the ck3510se back in 2020 and it has the linked pedal feature your talking about.

[@tilla455]

Love my kioti cx2510

[@benjaminhale1454]

Have you ever compared the bucket to a deere bucket up close. Kioti has the nicest bucket in the business.

[@wrenchbenders]

I have not, but I do like the Kioti bucket. The guy from Good Works Tractors says the same thing.

[@rikkilee9409]

the thing with LSE is no tax. that's big. I did pay cash to get best price

[@USCGCoasttoast]

Damn you have floor mats I have an L3901 and no floor mats and the seat sucks and I had to buy the extra handrail. I don't like the middle where the foot controls are I also wear size 12 and it's a pain in the butt. This will be my last Kubota the big sale for me was zero % on the loan. This is a nice tractor hope it works out for you. One more thing when you trade they always try to screw you. I understand they need to make money but.

[@barney1941]

cool they moved the loader control to the fender, that was the only thing that made me go nx4510 plus the bigger rebate back in 21-22 the rebate for paying cash was 5500 or so on mx

[@wrenchbenders]

I love the loader controls location. Ergonomically perfect in Mt mind. Rest your arm on the armrest and rest your hand on the Joystick. It just feel natural running the loader and easy to make small controlled movements with the loader.

[@joegillesp7340]

Nice tractor.wish i had xtra $$$.

[@barney1941]

bolt a kioti cutting edge on it for 218$ game changer, i has a 2021 nx4510 fill tires use beat juice rim guard, R

[@michaelbailey8543]

Great video. I may have missed it, but what was the cost?

[@wrenchbenders]

I never gave out the price because I agreed not to discuss the exact amount on camera when I bought the tractor. It was just a little north of $40,000 with options I chose, and that is the best I can do.

[@vikingrobot4179]

I Like these Kioti tractors but where I am there’s no dealer within a reasonable distance. Although there is a Branson dealership which just turned TYM and still has a lot of Branson inventory and a lot of new TYM’s. I’m pretty impressed with the TYM 2515 Shuttle shift as I’m not a fan of hydro tractors due to the price of the hydro pump Goes down and the torque lag of the hydro. To replace the hydro is $8-k but A rebuild on the gear drive shuttle trans is $4-k. It comes with skid steer quick attach and bucket. Add in third function and a Q/A grapple comes to $22,500.oo. Rim guard is extra. It shares the same chassis as some larger models and engine block it’s just detuned for 25 HP and has no emissions or computer crap to deal with. 6 year warranty as well. I’m really torn over getting a TYM and not sure if they’re gonna be around with support down the road. It appears they will be but I’ve heard a lot of what if’s in many comment sections. Seems like the dealer is really friendly and willing to work with you. They only charge $129.00 to deliver the unit, and will have it ready in a day or so for me. Anyone have thoughts on this?

[@wrenchbenders]

I like the TYM tractors. I was looking at the RK tractors as well, and they are made by TYM.

[@vikingrobot4179]

@@wrenchbenders No RK’s near me but I may be leaning towards a Branson because of the metal fenders, hood and some other options that appear to be a little more in the quality arena.

[@wrenchbenders]

I have not heard anything bad about Branson, and if TYM bought them, they will continue to support them as well. I have heard the Branson Tractors are heavy for their size in a good way.

[@barney1941]

id say kioti and tym are the best bang for buck and are quality, i had a yanmar sa324 2018 with backho )fantastic machine) then kioti nx4510 then tym t494 (same as 574 w no turbo) so tym,kioti and yanmar all nice choices. i just wantes mechanical fuel inj. no computers and as few sensors as possible. yanmar 7 computers and 22 sensors tym/kukje one computer 7 sensors. to my knowledge, i been wrong before. peace my friend. ps i planned on gettin me one of them there KU-BOATERs but the grand L6060 rops was $53000 TYM t494 and t574 $30-$33000 rops. $20k buys lots of implements!!! im at 52 hours on my tym t494 with no regen yet. can i operate during regen? pats easy change is fantastic. and an amazon special hydraulic top link with hoses $219 a MUST!!! if anyone buys a hydraulic top link for box blading and does not love it, they can send it to me! lol later buddy

[@wrenchbenders]

Hydro top link is absolutely a must. The price point you are making is exactly why I ended up with the Kioti. 100% agree the on the bang for the buck, and the TYM/RK was another option where I believe you can beat the tractor for the money.

[@James-cn9no]

Does the Kioti bucket hydraulics and control stick allow you to simultaneusly curl and lift/lower the bucket like the Kubota does?

[@wrenchbenders]

Yes. The one thing I have noticed compared to dad's Kubota is that the curl is a little slower on the kioti. Makes since due to the cylinders being a little bigger.

[@cdmajesty4803]

The kioti I tested a year ago did not. I ended up going with a Kubota l4060 cabbed

[@benfaery3598]

Was the HST cruise control standard or was that an option you added?

[@wrenchbenders]

It was an option I added. Came standard on the CK3520hse. Had to add it to my DK.

[@draysturgill2975]

Let us know what you think at 250 hrs

[@wrenchbenders]

Absolutely will. Thanks for watching.

[@alittlebitofeverything5090]

I am very close to buying this tractor or the DK4220SE. Upgrading from a CK2610. Some dealers are 3k more or less. What should I pay if I'm financing it if you don't mind? I am probably getting it with the backhoe too. Thank you

[@wrenchbenders]

I am going to say with the backhoe the price is going to be right around 50K depending on other options. Kind of wish I had got the backhoe with mine.

[@alittlebitofeverything5090]

@@wrenchbenders Thank you for the quick reply. I called one place and they said $47,400 with the backhoe and 3rd function. I'm waiting on a dealer closer to me to get me a quote. It's hard to absorb the 10k for a backhoe but easier in a payment. My CK2610 just won't lift a pallet of wood pellets and for the things I use it for its mostly at its capacity of lift and pto horsepower. Would love a tractor like yours.

[@wrenchbenders]

I have a grapple review that should release in about a month if you are thinking of buying one for your 3rd Function. I post every 2 weeks on fridays.

[@alittlebitofeverything5090]

@@wrenchbenders Thanks I will keep an eye out for it.

[@TxGuitarPlayer]

That’s a great tractor. John Deere and Kubota are way overpriced

[@VineV-Dutch]

You should've borrowed or rented a big tractor for the stuff you needed to get done. The community you live in, is willing to borrow from each other. Make a cooperation kind of thing. One shared agenda for the equipment, 1 time the financial pain devided over several families. Rental: With our without the operator. Why a rent or borrow? Cheaper, no monthly payments and still 18k in your back pocket. And you have a social moment in the community you live in. Also: less raw material needed, less pollution to fabricate, better for climate/environmental/planet. And: more efficient use of the product because it's running more hours a day.

[@Curious_Skeptic]

After paying 32k for a little 25hp 2025R in 2015, I can honestly say, JD is just overpriced. Period. Had major issues including major failure of bearings in the rear axle diff. Mower, junk. Backhoe, complete junk! The boom swing is so sloppy, not even useable after just 8 years! Is the tractor itself junk? NO. But, would never buy JD again. They jacked their prices up so high, there's just no justification to pay 10-15k more for GREEN! In some cases, much more than that! Looking at Kioti and Kubota for my 2nd machine. This one is on my list. But, the NX4510 comes with free loader right now, and 0% interest for 72 or 84 months! Hard to pass up.

[@wrenchbenders]

I looked at the nx myself, but I thought it was maybe a little too big for what I needed. Originally, I went to look at a CK and ended up with the DK. Lol

[@Curious_Skeptic]

@@wrenchbenders You made a great choice for sure! I still have my 2025R for the smaller stuff. So, no such thing as too big. LOL. ;) I only have about 7 acres or so, but like to use a 72" mower to speed up grass cutting. Likewise, a wood chipper and grapple would be life changing for spring clean up. Good luck! I'm finding more and more love out their from the Kioti owners! These use to be considered pretty low quality machines. Seems they have come along in the last decade. Thanks.

My concern is parts availability

[@wrenchbenders]

I have 3 dealer within an hour drive and online ordering is available. I order most of my john deere parts online.

[@ShinkleGunDog]

What did you pay?

[@wrenchbenders]

I did promise the people I bought it off of that I would not share what I paid for it on KZbin. I could have got a little better deal from Larry S down south, but it would have been an older model that didn't have the loader controls on the fender. Most I will say is north of $40,000 and South of $50,000

[@benjaminhale1454]

Really...40k plus.... surely it wasnt that much

[@wrenchbenders]

With all the added options i wanted, a set of forks, quick hitch, and hydraulic top link. Yes it was a little more than 40K.

[@benjaminhale1454]

I'm pretty sure that is not air ride? I been wrong b4. u way better off with DK look at your land. plus u don't have to put up with ur buddies calling a CK a woman's tractor! lol

It is spring suspension. It is one of those things that you realize was wrong after the fact, and the only two options are to leave it or take down the video. I have been wrong before, and it probably won't be the last. Lol

You might want to do a little more research Yanmar hasn’t made motors for John Deer for years. That’s an old news no more BS makes you lose a little credibility.

[@wrenchbenders]

I think you need to do your research. Tractordata.com still showing all 3 series and 4 series tractors with a yanmar engine. The 5 series engine is not a yanmar but my tractor is not the equivalent of a 5 series. My credibility remains intact.
