Kioti Tractor. How to JUSTIFY the Cost of a CAB!! Not what you would think!

All that selling and you dont make a dime. I am now a subscribe to your channel

[@muchgooderish]

Never were truer words spoken. Not a dime from any tractor manufacturer. Must mean I am hkrrible at sales. Lol Appreciate you subscribing and commenting.

Wow... haven't seen a meaningful video of my interest, presented by a real person of common sense and sense of humor for awhile. You gave more reason than I've already had in mind for a cab. Good job !

[@muchgooderish]

@@randalmiddleton8068 well, I cant express how appreciative we are of your comment. Glad you enjoyed it. Hope you enjoy your cab when you get it.

[@srsatlaf4730]

My number one reason for a cab tractor, because I want it!

[@muchgooderish]

Good enough reason as any. lol Appreciate the comment and support!

[@Dwhinery]

Yep, that’s what he was saying in the video, L O L

[@diamondharp]

You are making me wish I had bought a cab. Bought a CK3510 three years ago. I just don’t use it enough to justify the extra expense. But, I do worry about a bee attack. There is usually about one of those a year within a 20 mile radius of where we live. And, I do have skin cancer worries. OK, you have convinced me. Now, I am going to show this video to my wife. Wish me luck! If it goes badly, it is all your fault!

[@muchgooderish]

You can't pin that on me! I am just a vessel here. haha. Good luck. Let me know how it goes.

[@diamondharp]

Well I did it and it’s your fault. Sold my CK and bought a DK4720SEHC. I love it so far!

[@muchgooderish]

Oh man. How mad is your wife at me right now? Haha. Hope you enjoy it!

[@diamondharp]

She will get over it. Married 51 years on the 29th of this month. We are both too old to start over! LOL!

[@muchgooderish]

@@diamondharp Amazing!!. And glad she isn't hunting me down.

[@harverawls636]

I'm not one to spend extra money on things for my comfort but my wife convinced me to spend the money for the cab. The biggest surprise was not the A C and heat ( not that it wasn't nice in the summer and winter) but when I finished mowing for for four hours I climbed off the tractor and I could have gone out to eat at a restaurant WITHOUT TAKING A SHOWER, that wasn't going to happen on my old open cab tractor. I don't have to stop work just because it is raining I'm able to continue to working. I don't have to take breaks like I used to, I've stayed on the tractor all day working without taking a break, I get much more work done because of the cab, because of that I feel safe in saying that I've already made the money back that the cab cost me.

[@muchgooderish]

@@harverawls636 My wife convinced me as well. They love it when they are right. Lol I have also been able to keep workin in comfort during bad weather. Saves so much downtime, and like you said, I stay clean!

[@drgnner6028]

Its a no brainer. I love my cab tractor. I cannot work for long anymore in the heat or cold. Now that is not an issue anymore.

[@muchgooderish]

Sun and bitter cold wind are my natural predators. Cab solved it all! We appreciate the comment and support.

[@MrKelseyB]

Great video! I could not agree more, especially where the stupid allergies are concerned. I have a CK2610 with cab, and will add that where the view is concerned, the mirrors add so much behind that it is worth the small loss where the A-pillar blocks off. Also, regarding the glass keeping people on the ground from talking to me, I have taught the kids to stay back at least 20 feet till I stop and open the door and look right at them. I see it like an added safety feature, especially when using pallet forks and lifting or anything that might tip me. Enjoy the comfort of your tractor cab! I have never looked back after getting mine with cab!

[@muchgooderish]

Never once have I wished I had went with an open station. Heat and AC is enough to convince me. lol Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@willhutchinson3242]

I just got my CK2620SE cab in 2023, replacing an open station 3510SE. I agree with all of the points you made to buy the cab over the open station tractor. But I’ll add one more justification I made here in the windy, foggy coastal California climate I live in, I have an angry neighbor who is suing me over a dispute on an access easement on my property. If I don’t want to talk to her, I can keep the door closed and keep going! (The lawsuit is finally getting close to a settlement where I won anyway) Worth every penny not having to take that grief!

[@muchgooderish]

Valid reason for sure. I try to avoid my neighbors if at all possible. ha

[@northernhumidor5615]

Great video. I have the same tractor , living in a cold winter zone and hot , mosquito and black fly summers. I would not consider an open station at all.

[@muchgooderish]

I completely left out mosquito's and flies.. I will just say they were lumped into "flying, stinging things". Thanks for watching and commenting. Enjoy your tractor.

[@richmorlawncarellc2453]

True story a couple years ago my dad was pulling his swather down a gravel road. The swather clipped a road sign and flung him off the tractor and pinned his leg under the back tire. No one knows how long he was stuck. His phone was in the cup holder so he couldn't call anyone. Eventually a lady driving down the road found him. He had a broken leg and is lucky to be alive. Thats why a cab tractor is important to me.

[@muchgooderish]

Thats horrible. Glad it was not worse. I had a coworker whos brother was bounced off his tractor and he was unfortunately caught under the brush cutter. They found his tractor mowing in circles in a field, and didnt find him until hours later. He was not as lucky.

[@charleschapman2428]

Thanks for the video, my main reason for the cab was snowblowing but my New Holland 25S cab doesn't allow for a backhoe. Something to consider if you're shopping for a machine and yes some tractors can have both.

[@muchgooderish]

I believe Kioti jas a nice cab and backhoe package for the CK35 and the CK40!

[@slimmmerman]

My justification is that I will be using it to move snow in the winter's of northern Manitoba Canada.. this morning it was -32C (-26F)!

[@muchgooderish]

Jumping Jahosaphat!! No thank you. I though 2F was bad the past week...

[@Cummins6720]

It depends on applacations. I have the rx7320 cab kioti . Plowing snow in winter. Moving tree debris in summer. And making mulch . Large field mowing jobs. Helping local orchards with there needs if they are down a tractor. It all has benifits in my mind to own a cab tractor. It gets you out of eliments . Which for some can cause some harm . Pollin in spring time sure sucks to breath in when mowing pastures 8 hours a day . The one downside is the repair of ac or heater system. Which costs thousands. And if you blow out a window . Those get pricey to repair.

[@muchgooderish]

I had my AC break while under warranty, thankfully. It was just a vent that wouldnt open. I bet it would be expensive out of pocket. And I hope I never have to replace any glass.

[@CCharlesHahn]

One thing I would comment with regard to the skin cancer issue, look into getting high quality tint for the cab windows. Good ceramic tint blocks UV rays and heat, not only making the cab AC even more effective, but also keeping you safer without as much need for sunscreen. Tint can be had with 70-80% VLT as well if you don't want the darkening effect. It's not much different than tinting car windows/windshields.

[@muchgooderish]

Always wanted a tractor with tinted windows.. Riding Dirty in it. haha

[@justinhathaway6564]

I'll add one more log onto your pro-cab fire: most cab tractors have switches or levers to raise and lower the 3 point hitch right there handy at the rear, since climbing back into the cab to do so would just be dumb. I hear they're very useful when attaching implements... 😊

[@muchgooderish]

For sure they are handy. Many Kioti's come standard with the lever on both cab and open station models. Many other brands have started as well. Appreciate the comment!

[@AD-hr4is]

I agree with you. CAB is worth every penny. I have a 2020 ck2610 with cab and all you said is true. I had a problem with the windows fogging when blowing snow, the solution is cracked the back window open with the latch closed so it dosent shut back up, problem solved.

[@muchgooderish]

I had that issue. I was told that if using heat, always have the AC turned on as well, as it helps with the fogging. Seems to work for me. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@Dwhinery]

Does your ac work good on hot days with that smaller engine while you are bush hogging?

[@muchgooderish]

@@Dwhinery Haven't done any bush hogging yet, but all other times it is so cold I have to turn it it off/down.

[@Dwhinery]

@@muchgooderish I have a DK5310 and it’s never been able to cool on hot days. I’ve had it 2 summers. I am not sure if somethings wrong with the cooling system or it’s just not sized big enough to properly cool. On those days I would be better off with an open cab Tractor because the cab just holds in more heat and the AC can’t catch up.

[@davidchaput5097]

Right on buddy bugs and cold are my reasons

[@muchgooderish]

Just utilized the heat over the past couple of days. Well worth it.. I mean, you wouldnt want to drive a car with the top down in the winter, right? ha

[@bubbaramsey9777]

I used open station tractors for over 50 years. I now have replaced four tractors with cab tractors. Damn, I wish I would’ve switched years ago.

[@muchgooderish]

There are times I would love an open station, like when just moving items, or pulling hayrides, but most work is dirty, dusty, hot, or cold. The cab takes care of all of that.

[@carolewarner101]

And here's the best part. I own the 25 hp equivalent in a John Deere (without a cab). And I can sell that for as much as I paid for it and get one of those Kioti tractors WITH a cab, PLUS much more front bucket and PTO lift capacity...for pretty much the same damned price! Granted, I won't have the 4 in 1 bucket that I have on my JD. But I've got an excavator, so I guess I'll just use that!

[@muchgooderish]

All tractors have their plus positives and negatives, but bang for buck, I felt the Kioti was a great deal and has done everything I have asked of it.

[@carolewarner101]

@@muchgooderish We've been actively looking at trading the JD for a Kiot with a cab. We're getting up in years and have found the tractor to be indispensable on our land. We'll be moving out there soon, which means using it in four seasons vrs just good weather. We'll be having to plow snow in the winter and work in the rain with it a lot more, and we aren't getting any younger. Just last summer I was cutting up a downed tree that happened to have an in ground yellow jacket nest down at the other end. The vibrations passing through the log agitating the hive, and I got nailed with seven stings in a matter of seconds! I was in pain for three days and itched terribly for two weeks...miserable! THIS summer we had to clear trees for our new shop and one had a large paper wasp nest in it, but this time I had a small excavator with a CAB. Oh the satisfaction of knocking it down out of the tree, smashing the nest to a pancake under the bucket and driving away without a sting despite hundreds of torpedo-like, dive bomb hits to the glass of the cab with them trying to get at me! 😇 When we found out how much more reasonably priced Kioti tractors are compared to JD & Kubotas, with a very similar level of quality AND so many additional features and better lifting specs, we were sold! There's a very real chance we'll be able to practically trade one tractor for the other (financially), perhaps spending a few thousand more for SO much more tractor with that cab. Anyway, appreciate your video.

[@muchgooderish]

​@@carolewarner101Sorry to hear about the stings. Cab will for sure solve that. Hopefully you have a good dealer pretty close. Mine is about 15 minutes away.

[@iamme2114]

I'm allergic to bee stings and only have 1 lung working properly. Heat, and ac are very important to me.

[@muchgooderish]

I would imagine so! Hopefully you have plenty of both.

[@JohnBartels-zn3ze]

Well done.

[@muchgooderish]

Much appreciated!

[@carlandrews5810]

Only thing I worry about with the cab is working in the woods with it... Pulling logs out of woodlots .Breaking the glass

[@muchgooderish]

@@carlandrews5810 True, and a good point, but I personally would rather have a log hit the glass and 1 of the 4 post (instead of just a rops), and break glass versus it breaking my face or chest and landing me in the hospital. Glass is much cheaper!. Granted, the higher cab limits where you can access, such as lower branches, etc.

[@swamprat69er]

I specified that my new Kioti HAD to have a cab. I was done with plowing snow and freezing my butt of with an open station tractor. The extra 8 grand was worth it to me. I don't have A/C, I bought primarily for the winter. I do have a fan that I can set up to blow air on me in the summer. In the 12 years that I have owned and run this Kioti CK27hst I have broken zero windows and haven't gotten smacked in the face with any branches.

[@muchgooderish]

Wasnt aware they made them without AC and only heat. Lets hope for 12 more years of no broken glass and no branches to the face!.

[@andrewdearborn6302]

It's legit well worth the 8k option even if you have to buy a lower hp tractor imo

[@muchgooderish]

True. I have a 35hp, but I am sure the 25hp would be just as capable for any project I might have. And all from the comfort of a cab.

nice to have a cab when you bush hog a bee nest! i play with firewood logs so i needed ROPS. id knock the corners off the cab for sure! i have a 2022 TYM T494, i had a 2021 NX4510 i know kioti makes fantastic machines but i got a covid machine with a bad tranny and the NX is E-hydro they had a bad batch of solinoids in the tranny. very few dealers can deal with an issue like this. i say in the bang for buck catagory the 3 best are kioti tym and yanmar. the one thing i like about them there KU-BOATERS is the hydraulics. you can lower and curl at the same time. other than that i say the tym and kioti crush KU-BOATER loader lift and 3 point lift. hyd. flow is also a bit less in KU-BOATERS the grand L was 18k more. my pockets were not that deep.

[@muchgooderish]

Thankfully all of my equipment is pre-covid. Kioti has met all my needs, and then some. I do wish it had dual control hydraulics though, but not a deal breaker. And everyone has a specific need from their equipment. Cabs really aren't for everyone. I guess I am still trying to justify. lol Thanks for watching and commenting.
