Why wouldn’t you have a Kioti, they’re hands down amazing and come loaded with amazing features. I’m one year into my RX7320 and don’t regret getting rid of my 5075E at all.

[@RockhillfarmYT]

I would put them pretty high up on the list of options. They are a little more expensive, but not nearly as bad as Deere or Kubota I also just recorded a video about the comparable Kabota and it is $20,000 more than this kioti

[@lwwarren]

@@RockhillfarmYT That's why I went Kioti. I used that savings to buy all the "starter" implements and attachments I needed.

[@anthonyg6924]

Kioti makes a solid tractor. It's looked at by some as the black sheep but absolutely should not be. Very good products and company from my experience!

[@greatmoose17]

Best advise I ever received… Do what you can with what you have where you’re at.

[@petep7227]

I bought my first tractor in 2021, Kubota BX. Really liked it but quickly outgrew it. Started looking at upgrading to B series, almost pulled the trigger, then found Kioti. Bought the CX2510, which is comparable to (or better than) a Kubota LX2610 in almost every way, and costs less than a BX! Love it so far. Very beefy machine.

[@MichaelJones1527]

I have had my Kioti for two years and I love it. I have a cab which I love.

[@jkholley1118]

My best friend bought a Kioti 3 years ago and its been a great machine. i enjoy it when i have used it.

[@LandFather]

I've got a 2022 DK5310 and I have been so impressed with it, it's exactly what I want out of a tractor and I love mine. I just got my Dad to buy a CK4010 that he got a screaming deal on off of Marketplace. I've been really impressed with Kioti and I think they've gained a lot of ground in the US tractor market in the past few years

[@Farmer4Truth]

Love our DK6020se w/cab. It’s solid, lifts a lot, pulls implements vary well, runs smoothly and only regens about every 40hours as opposed to our previous NH that did every 4hours.

[@RobertBrothersJr-dc7nr]

That Kioti is a nice tractor. You are going to have a tough decision to make after you have checked out all of the different brands. It’s fun tractor shopping but making the decision on which one to buy is tough. I enjoy you bringing us along on your tractor shopping adventures. Thanks Brock

[@RockhillfarmYT]

I also did Kabota at this show. It’s recorded.

[@gregnicholson689]

Bought a used 2021 NX5010 last fall and it’s been really nice so far. Used it for snow removal, box blading, and manure removal this winter with no issues. Strong machine so far, will be doing pasture mowing this summer. Big plus are the R14 tires - no need for chains and the rut damage is less severe. Property has a lot of clay soil and was a total quagmire this winter with all the rain - never got stuck once.

[@bob5817]

Just got a new ck 3520 with cab. I love it

[@terrytate6006]

Hi brock thanks for sharing the video one thing you need to look at is auxiliary hydraulic oil flow the more the better

[@stephenbrothers9185]

Kioti's NX and NS series are extremely similar. The NX has had a few electrical gremlins that are likely sorted out at this point, but I think a lot of people have just gone with the NS since it's electronically a little more simple but still offers nearly all the same features and identical capacities. I've had my Kioti for almost a year now and it's been very reliable for me and my local dealer is great.

[@melaniekeen3611]

Wendell NC North American HQ. We have a Tym 474CH. Bought from Smiths Enterprise in Salemburg NC. Very reliable and can't beat the warranty

[@CliffsideStables]

I picked up a used Kioti RX7320 cab model with 131 hours at 20 months of age for less than $40k including a 7’ landscape rake. It has been a welcome addition to our 89 acres here in northern TN. Tim

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

I have the RX7320 and you’re right, it’s big!

[@garyprice6651]

I have had my ns 4710 for 2 years and love it.

[@mannfamilyMI]

I have an NS4710 also and it’s a workhorse.

[@Dan-oz4qb]

I'd consider Kioti if I was in the market for another tractor. There's half a dozen or so brands that are competitive in price and quality today.

[@frankdrahos8569]

If there is any way that you can keep the 2038 I think you should. If I was a homeowner in town I probably wouldn’t want you driving around my property with a 50hp tractor. Just my personal 2 cents! Thanks for sharing your experiences.

[@lwwarren]

50hp in a compact frame will give you more capability with nominal frame size increase. Put R14 hybrid tires on it and you'll be easy on the turf as well. My Kioti NX5010HST Cab fits in a standard size residential garage space. They have sizes from 45hp to 60hp on the same frame.

[@TheRustyGarageandHomestead]

Brock, thanks for the comparison. I'm in the market for a littler "25hp" range and kioti is up on my list

[@javiertorres7460]

Get the c k 2620 you love it

[@TheRustyGarageandHomestead]

@@javiertorres7460 I think they make a quality tractor

[@joshgreenfield62]

I really like Kioti, looked at them a few times. My only issue is the dealer network. The closest one to me shut down and now the closest is about to 2 hrs away from me. Deere, CNH, kubota, and massey are all 25-35 min from me.

[@rodbagley1686]

First of all looking with your 56 lbs missing. Congrats on that. Kind of wish I could have compared one of those and JD when I bought mine.

[@eddhaney5274]

I recently purchased a NX6010 HST Cab. Have 20 hrs on it so far. ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!! Lot of tractor for the money. I also own a smaller New Holland and there is no comparison. Big money difference between the other orange and green tractors that are a lot of hype and no go! Ha!

[@lonewolfFirearms]

I know I've said it before but I truly love my kioti ck3510 se hydrostatic tractor.

[@RockhillfarmYT]

I think they are very competitive

[@mickey17y]

I bought a JD 2038R in 2017. I liked the tractor but wanted a cab. I was going to buy a JD3039R until a friend suggested I check out Kioti. I ended up buying a Kioti CK4020SE HST. The Kioti has a lot more features, more lifting capacity and a wider stanch compared to the JD 3039R. The interior of the cab is significantly more roomy. Price was more than $10,000 less than the JD

[@robertreynolds8092]

I have a CK30 bought back in 2006. The only thing that has gone wrong was the injection pump died and I had it rebuilt, 540 hours and all is well.

[@bobpurs]

Great Video Brock. Going on 3 years with my Rx7320 and love it. No regrets and great dealer. My JD sits in the barn

[@HunterGathererGardener]

[@juddblaney9320]

Was shopping for my first tractor, started with Kubota of course then found Kioti. Been in the US for 40 years, build their own tractors top to bottom, and for the price of a luxury Kioti with implements you can get a base Kubota with no add ons

Awesome upgrade

[@brianjennings1975]

LS tractors are nice. Seem to have the highest flow rates.

[@danielniquette5187]

Has I commented on the last vidéo, take a look at the Kubota Grand L series It has similare features with the Kioti you looked at. But I guess it's more expensive.

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Right after this, I went to the Kubota booth and recorded. They didn’t have the exact Tractor you are talking about, but I did pull numbers on it after reviewing the Tractor they did have That grand L is 20,000 more than the Kioti and 28,000 more than the TYM

[@danielniquette5187]

@@RockhillfarmYT Kubota make great tractors but I think they are over priced compared to the competition. I have a Grand L (2008) with 4000 hours on it and I wouldn't let it go for anything. It's a great machine but I don't think I could aford a new one today.

[@hcr-motorworks]

That big dial next to the cruise control is fwd/rev reaction time...not cruise control speed. Do you want to be able to change directions abruptly from fwd to rev when applying the opposite pedal or do you want a more gentle change in direction for less wear and tear on the hydrostat.

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Thanks for the information.

[@hcr-motorworks]

The + / - switch allows you to dial in the cruise control speed like you were talking about though...its just a bit more finicky is all.

Boy, it would be great to see what you could do on your property with a 50hp tractor!

[@RockhillfarmYT]

It’s going to happen

[@job38four10]

I know I'm the only one in the whole wide world that problems like I do, but the first thing I look for in a tractor is where the top-link is connected to. On all L-Series Kubota's the top-link is hooked to back of transmission, so on my L3400 when it was heavy strain one time, my trans case crack, that a $3-5k complicated hard repair. On Kioti the top-link is on lift-housing so if that cracks it looks to me like a much cheaper easier repair. So when you look at tractors you should look at that, just in case you might be the 2nd guy in the whole wide world to crack a trans case on a heavy pull......

[@dustdevl1043]

The Kioti has a lot of great features, but I think I still prefer the TYM for it's simplicity.

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Simplicity and price. I’m a big fan

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Great video Brock. I love my Kioti.

[@maxball6388]

I was eyeing the CK2610 cab in 2017 but went with the Kubota BX23S for the backhoe. Traded it in on the CK2620se cab June of 23. Kubota makes a fine machine, but $29k for an L2502 is absurd. I was quoted just shy of 40k for the new LX3520SU cab. No suspension seat. The Other Orange is flirting with Greene prices, so Im gone. No issues with my Kioti.

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Right after recording this video, I went over and recorded one at the Kubota booth For this Tractor comparable to the one I just showed you’re looking at $3000 more than John Deere 20,000 more than Kioti and 28,000 more than TYM And it doesn’t lift as much weight or have as many features Kubota is popular because of their reputation for durability but the pricing is absurd

[@douglasjackson1998]

I think you've compared so many tractors, the feature set of all of them are overwhelming your brain. I offer two corrections here, based upon my knowledge of my own LS MT357, which you showed earlier. Not trying to find fault it what you've done, just offering a hand. One of the PTO features you found under the cover was auto-PTO, where the PTO automatically stops on lifting the 3-point lift. You said this was similar to a feature on the LS tractor. I think you were mistaken on that. I'm confident that is a TYM feature, and NOT an LS feature. Also, one of the cruise control features you were describing the Kioti to have, that you seemed to be very impressed with, was a pretty good description of the engine speed control on the pillar of the LS MT357. On the LS it adjusts with Up/Down buttons, not a knob.

[@RockhillfarmYT]

I was there about three weeks ago. I’m completely confident that LS is the one that has the feature that stops the PTO when you lift the three-point. We had long conversation about having the extra technology. The TYM is very basic

[@hillcresthayfarms9664]

I wounder how the come up with the lift capacity of the loader? I have farmed my whole life and I can tell you it takes alot more than a 4600 lb tractor to lift and carry 2700 lbs safely

[@RockhillfarmYT]

That’s the base weight. That’s not what it weighs when you’re using it. Fluid in the tires, wheel, weights, and a rear ballast. My tractor has a list weight of 2500 pounds. The way I run it. It weighs 5500.

[@mitchellbroaddus9120]

Still a lot of money! I will stick with my New Holland 1715(27? Hp) I bought for 6k, with 117 hrs. Included front end loader, discs, shredder, box blade, turning plow, and middle buster. Had it for 4 years now, 450 additional hours. Replaced the battery, and routine maintenance.

[@RockhillfarmYT]

That’s a crazy good deal. I’ve looked at a lot of used tractors. For 6K probably doesn’t have tires or an engine. Beat up 90s models with issues are going around 10 K

[@hughhead9079]

Does the Kioti require you stop and wait for regen? While that New Holland 55 Workmaster is speaking to me, the tractor that keeps working during regen cycles would win ANY contest. That LS MT357 is actually winning so far in my little mind...

[@RockhillfarmYT]

It does not

[@jontrip247]

my number one complaint with Kioti is how jerky the hydrolics are

[@northeasterndirtandpropert7974]

My personal opinion is KIOTI is coming on stronger than any other brand chasing the tails of KUBOTA and DEERE.The options you get for the money are very good.WARRANTY is awesome.And finally,i believe a tractor should be looked at as an investment,The Kioti may be a few grand more up front,but you'll get a lot better return in the back end than TYM or LS at trade in or resale.Im pro KUBOTA,but not foolish enough to believe KIOTI does not make a good machine.Stick to KIOTI.

[@charlesreed6404]

Between kioti and the dealership I purchased my CK3510SE from, Manchester Motors in Manchester Maine, has been to most horrible purchasing experience I have have had. Just an absolutely horrible dealership selling a cheaply made tractor compared to my JD790.

[@toddcaskey9984]

Morning

[@toddcaskey9984]

I have a bobcat which is a kioti ,I love it , I would get the cheapest one and one with 2 hydrostatic petals , I wish I bought a cheaper one and got more for my buck, but this is just my thoughts they all are good

[@toddcaskey9984]

Other thoughts that I just had while taking a shower, I would make sure I had a third function because I added mine remotes on the back extendable, three-point arms, external lifting thing for the three-point arms, my bucket control, not way out in front of me like on Kabota I like it close Good lifting weight I think everything else I could live without but those are the things that I would want on my tractor if I got a new one mine does not have most things but I bought mine because of the two petals and the sales person that's why I went with Bobcat because I like the salesman and they're real nice to me way better than the coyote dealer a mile down the road

Ain’t nothing wrong with that. Most people suck these days. Social isolation can be a very good thing

[@JamesG1126]

I'd stay with Kubota.

[@RockhillfarmYT]

I would be interested in hearing your reasons why… Right after recording this, I went to the Kubota booth and recorded a video about the comparable model. It was $20,000 more and it’s a much less capable machine in terms of lifting. I have trouble spending that much extra on a machine that can’t do the same work. Kioti has been making equipment since 1947 and sold their first tractor in the US in 1986. What don’t you like about them? The only thing Kubota has going for them is their name. And I do acknowledge the name is synonymous with dependability. I also talked to a lot of Tractor owners and very few people ever complain about a Kioti

[@JamesG1126]

@@RockhillfarmYT Which 2 models are you comparing for a $20,000 difference?

I don’t understand. Why does TYM market through all these different brands? Just make a TYM.

Its sad, time and again, I hear " Pick a dealer that you can trust ". Im from the " how about a piece of equipment that does not require a dealer relationship to own !? " Something I can pull service on and just use... ? You'd likely not be surprised I buy Kubotas new... buy it and forget it. Not crapping on any other brand, but the concept of going into something you know is going to be a problem, so pick a good dealer, no thanks.

[@RockhillfarmYT]

I went straight from that booth to the Kubota booth and priced a similar model. You’re looking at $25,000 more for a machine with less capability and less features So you could buy this tractor and a side-by-side and take your family on vacation. And still have some money left over for any repairs you need And be able to pick up the log you want. I’ve talked to a ton of kioti owners, and they all love their machines

[@danielrobey1759]

The vast majority of people will never need the dealer for serious repairs but anybody can turn out a turd. I've seen larger operations choose their equipment based on the local dealers and their relationships with them. I've been looking for a couple weeks now and I've driven a couple of kiotis, rx7320 and a 50 hp ns, I think it was. On Friday I tested a yanmar yt359 and absolutely loved it! Impeccable build quality and simply a wonderful tractor but I doubt that I pursue it.... Why? Because I didn't care for the dealer and the next closest dealer is an hour and a half further away. Being a yanmar it's likely going to be an extremely good machine but you never know...

[@bill5316]

@@danielrobey1759 Yes, Ive lived that experience of the dealer relationship, I ran a small structural demolition company, a decade ago, we had a fleet of bobcat loaders for cleanup work. 12 machines, mostly abused, but not neglected. Our selling/servicing bobcat dealer could not keep half the fleet up and running on any given day. I thought at the time, we had more of a "not suitable tool" problem, more than a dealer relationship/competence problem. The owner did not want to embrace the solution ( finding durable loaders than worked more than not, likely a brand change ) so the band played on, and we ran with mostly broken units most of the time, and spent a fortune trying to fix garbage. My point to you're reply, I've seen the worst case scenario of running on a "dealer relationship ". Might also explain, my approach to equipment, buy stuff that only needs repairs when you physically break it, not because if fails due to engineering shortcomings, or dare I say built in obsolescence. BTW, I owned a Deere 970 Compact ( Yanmar tractor ) Loved that tractor, it needed nothing while I owned it ( 10yrs ), and always performed flawlessly.

Based on what? They’ve been making machinery since 1947 and sold their first tractor in the US in 1986. Gigantic global corporation that makes lawnmowers and side-by-side and skid steers.
