re: Kioti tractors

I would lean towards a Kubota based on the history of dependability here...however, I Know a couple of folks who have Kiotis and the are perfectly happy with them. Perfectly dependable at quite a bit lower price point.

NASCAR, your driver prefers blue, urnge or green, with a flat floorboard, that knees don't have to pick up over, also, more belly room.
That's new holland blue, kubota urnge, or jd green.

more belly room.

You are better than this and you know it.
To the OP, no major manufacturer produces tractors for sale in the US from their China operations. Major means CaseIH, New Holland, John Deere, Kubota, and Massey Ferguson.

Dont shoot the messenger. That's what the tractor mechanic told me.

Please tell me where this fool is located so on behalf of all AEM members, I can go and flog him.
Posted on 3/1/15 at 8:14 pm to subMOA
You probably know him

Kubota is to me what Glock is to KR. I just hate them.

Our smaller tractors were all Masseys and we liked them. A Lil cheaper thanks the JDS and orange.

I like massy tractors.
They're never anywhere close to as nice as JD though. I used to run an MF1135 a good bit and I had to stand on the clutch to use it, seat suspension sucked, levers all over the damn place, etc. It was a mule though.

Yep. The Masseys I've been on were strong as an ox. But lacked ergonomics.
Posted on 3/2/15 at 6:51 am to Nodust
Why do you hate them? Ive had mine for 4 yrs and ZERO issues.

Its no coincidence that they call them MF.

I've been on a few that were falling apart at 1000 hours.

When you buy a tractor it is either to keep forever in this case quality, parts availability and tech support should trump price. Or to keep for a finite amount of time and trade or resell, in this case value retention should be the number one concern. For value retention in a smaller tractor there is John Deere, then Kubota, then everything else.

so a few (1, 2 ?) were in bad shape at 1000 hours? Funny, I've experienced the same thing with JD. Guess they suck too.

They felt/looked dogged out and the owners called them money pits. They dont abuse equipment. Good enough for me. You should be able to work a tractor like a rented mule for 1000 hours without problems.
