Good to see that you and the wife are not color blind. I have always heard good things about Kioti but never had an opportunity to check them out real close. This dealer did a good job pointing out all of the features.
I have had the Kioti RX 6620 4 years and absolutely love it! We had owned Deere for years but they just don't measure up anymore. Also, the Deere salesmans selling point, after I asked him why I should purchase their tractors again, was to keep slapping the fender and saying "because it's a Deere!". Haha....maybe he was upset cause my magnet was sticking to any of the 5085 supposed "iron" drivetrain! Oh well.....
I ABSOLUTELY like how knowledgeable the salesman is. I can tell he did his homework. Sadly that is getting rare. Some times they make stuff up,i have even caught and called a salesman out on it in the past. (From a different tractor company). Well done
Hi Tim, Thanks for the visit to the Kioti dealer, and thanks Aaron, this review helped me decide what to buy. I was very close on a smaller 33 HP Kubota, and considered a Mahindra. Parts availability for Mahindra doesn’t seem very good right now here in Quebec Canada. So Kioti it is! Took delivery Friday of my CK4010HST, Tractor Loader Backhoe. Thanks again,
We bought our CK3510HST from Aaron at Haltom Equipment almost two years ago. Beyond thrilled with this tractor. A real working machine. Dirt work, driveway maintenance, rough mowing, finish mowing, grading,general utility. Be glad for you to come give ours a workout. Located in Martinsville. Think you would be real happy with a Kioti.
Good information!! I was clueless about the kioti Brand until about a month ago. I was looking to upgrade to 35hp from my 25hp Kubota. This video was my first of any regarding Kioti. After many other videos about JD , LS, Mahindra, and other Kioti owner reviews my mine was made up and I was sold on Kioti. Found a dealer here in south louisiana and made a phone call and the sales guy had exactly what I wanted. It was well worth the 2hr 15 min drive to take delivery. I have the ck3510 w/loader/R4 tires , manual shift. Thank you guys for a very through and fair video.
So glad yall went and looked. Again I cannot say enough good about my ck2610. I got mine with the 3 range 9 speed manual. The ck tractors are about as big as you can go but still fold the rops and get inside a standard garage door.
Was a night and day difference with dealers here. Aaron, had a great deal of knowledge and answered every question he was asked. You can tell he was trying to sell a machine!
Glad you complemented that salesman! The whole video I kept thinking to myself this guy is good, and then you complemented him on his knowledge. Great job! I find it hard to find people who take pride in what they do these days.
New game: drink every time he says absolutely! Lol, just kidding. Even though I am a Kubota guy, the two things that sell this tractor for me are the loader stands and the linked pedal. The linked pedal is my favorite part of Kioti tractors.
Kubota is hard to beat. One thing in having a tractor is service and parts. Only two dealers are good for that Kubota and John Deere. There is the best and the rest Kioti falls in the latter.
My brother purchased a Kioti 40 horse loader tractor 5 years ago. He has 1300 hours on it now. Only issue, 2 worn out ignition lock sets , replaced under warranty. He uses it in the Coast & Rocky mountains for building horse and hiking trails, contract work. The work is beyond abusive and the machine has handled it. He bought new 25 HP Kioti last year as they often have need of a second tractor in the smaller size. When buying the 40 horse he looked at the Mahindra but said he was put off by the Mahindra's " sheet metal bucket" :)
It's outstanding to see a person happily knowledgeable about their product! I want to buy a tractor from them now! That's a legit nice tractor too...I can see why he would be proud of it. Well done indeed!
Tractor Time with Tim why not get a track skid steer or a bobcat all steer model can turn all 4 wheels and skid with a switch of a button and can do everything your looking for in a tractor and more make a video on why not a skid steer or has it just not come to mind??
Oh, it has came to mind. Who knows, maybe we'll go that way. There are a few reasons why we are not leaning that way: 1) Skid steers tear up the grass...no way to prevent that. 2) We are "Tractor Time with Tim". Regular folks seem to be able to relate more to a tractor than a skid-steer. We want to reach more folks with our channel. We are afraid that a skid steer appears more 'commercial', industrial, not sure. Anyway, our focus is gaining and entertaining you, the audience. ...more so than perfect efficiency on the job. That might not make sense to you, but it is how we are thinking.
Tractor Time with Tim well that's why I mentioned the bobcat all steer models like a300 or a770 because they do 4 wheel steer and hit a switch and goes into skid steer mode and they can get wicked wide turf tires for them alot of landscape companies get the all steer bobcats for that reason and no other skid steer brand makes an option like that
Tractor Time with Tim And nah that makes sense it's more of a fun hobby to you than work just letting you know there are better options and you could keep the tractor and get maybe pick up new viewers cause you already got tractor and mini ex so don't see why people wouldn't mind skid steer video and it may help some people to show they can buy a skid steer instead of tractor for certain work
I have had. Kioti for 2 years now and like I. I am a bit bigger but today the driveway washed out from the rain and 30 mins later it was fixed. The Kioti did its job. I have the cab and love it.
My dad bought two Kiotis for his farm. I find that the plastics feel kinda cheap but they do have a lot of features. He also had some wiring issues on his first one but the dealer fixed that under warranty. Oh, and the cabs are quite roomy relative to the tractor's size.
Excellent video Tim. A lot of good information for anyone looking at one these tractors. Aron definitely has product knowledge I was a sales rep for almost 30 years when I was first starting out my Dad and a couple of other veteran reps I worked and trained with told me one of the most important things to being a good sales rep was product knowledge. He did a great job of explaining everything and answering all your questions. Have a great weekend. God Bless!!!
Looks like a tractor that deserves some serious thoughts in my opinion. The company does have a very good reputation. A couple of my friends love theirs. I have the other orange....I also like seeing the references to God in your videos. God bless your family!!
Tim, I purchased a CK27 3 years ago for working my food plots. It has been very reliable and a good tractor for my needs. The price point was the deciding factor for me when compared to JD and I don't regret the decision.
It had extendable rear links too, very convienant when hooking up 3pt equipment. Get the bigger series 45 hp tractor. I’m made the mistake buying a Ck35, 2 years later I bought a new 2014 dk40 se, an absolute beast. I think it’s the best 40 (41) hp tractor ever made!
After watching this, I added the Kioti to my list. I just purchased my first tractor, a CK 4010. I added the linked pedals, arm rest, and two rear remotes. That saved $2k from the SE…good video.
After 14 months, I traded to a JD 1025R. Nothing to do with the tractor, as it was solid with no issues. But was much larger than I needed on my 2.5 acres. So far after a few weeks I'm sold on this little power house.
My kioti. DK35SE is close to 1900 hours on it with absolutely no problems. Used it to skid logs and firewood trees and forks on the loader to deck 1000’s of logs. It’s a hydro transmission. Love my Kioti❤️❤️❤️ would by another in a heart beat
I've had my CK20 HST with loader and mower deck for 13 years. When I bought it I just could not see the advantage of spending an extra couple thousand for a Deere. I'll have my Kioti till I no longer need it or any other compact tractor. I had to replace the front rt axle seal. That's been it for anything other than normal maintenance. I like my Kioti.....absolutely!
Get the cab! You can still shoot great videos with the cab.. Removal of the doors with the quick hinges. But in the dead of winter or summer.. AC or heat
I have a 2006 Ck30 but it's just to small for me so I just bought a new DK 5310se and it's an an awesome tractor. Those guys at Stigler Mill are great to work with!
After comparing prices, features, specifications, and dealerships on a John Deere 3E series, Kubota L series, and Mahindra 4540, I BOUGHT A KIOTI! In my humble opinion, Kioti offers the best tractor, dollar-for-dollar.
@@TractorTimewithTim Since I'll be dead when that time comes, no. That's my kid's problem. I did, however, consider all the implements I bought with the money I saved vs. Deere and Kubota. Heck, for the price of a Deere, Kioti gave me the tractor AND a backhoe.
Interesting tractor, full of options. I would get the cab and a wireless mic at the time of purchase, if I was purchasing one. Christie your one wild driver for sure and you know how to test drive.
Really enjoying your tractor shopping trips. I'd go with the Kioti over the Yanmar just from the point of saleman interest in machine and customer. Just saying....
Yanmar dealers are in upwards of there hundred miles apart. And there's the parts support to not to bad if you can load up and only drive it in 10 miles but not even being able to order an oil filter or even know the part number is a little disconcerting.
I just bought a CK2510. Some of the things that impressed me were the hydraulics and the fact that all the grease fittings are recessed. I also bought a Franzgard grapple for the front. For me a huge up grade from a Massey GC2310.
Surprisingly well equipped tractors those Kioti's - they are creeping into the market over here in the UK. Of the two salesmen we've seen you visit so far, this fella comes across as far more clued up, far more enthusiastic and much more interested in the machine itself, even down to letting you loose for a few donuts! I certainly know who I'd rather buy off of.
I'm definitely a die heart JD fan but Kioti is my close second ever since I owned the early 2000's DK35 model. I'm pretty sure I put roughly 10,000 HRs just brush hogging with it and never had a single issue. 10/10 would definitely buy it back if I could.
I feel like I am out shopping for a tractor so great entertament I actually spent three years looking at different brands before purchase a kioti dk 5510, best purchase ever.
Tim this is my first You Tube Comment: Your videos are Awesome, and influential. I just got my first compact tractor an LS 3032. You may find it in the right size dept.for what guys are looking for. I purchased the LS for price and features and yes your little Ditty of "Am I Blue". Love your videos, keep up the good work.
Just bought my CK3510se last week. Should be taking delivery in the next couple of days. This video helped push me to look at them and I’m glad I did. I live in Greene county and have two Kioti dealers within 45 minutes of me, that was a huge deciding factor also. Thanks for the great videos Tim.
Just bought a tractor (CK 3510 HST) from Aaron. Fantastic salesman, extremely knowledgeable. I’d suggest Aaron and Haltom equipment to anyone in the area.
Tim You are on the right track. I bought a CK 3510 last year and have nothing but good to say. My first job was plowing 12 acres with 2-14. I have done some things with it I thought I should have used a bigger tractor or my skidsteer for. I can only say if you buy one I hope your experience is as good as mine. Bob
Tim ; I had it in low range and 4 wheel. This field had not been plowed for about 20 years. Grass hay had been taken off it most of the years but it was compacted. And yes mine is Hydrostatic. Good luck
Tim I am a Kioti fan but the nearest dealer is 85 mls. I have three JD dealerships with in 35 mls. The dealer I purchased mine from has 11 locations in Texas and will bend over backwards to help if you have problems.
Tim, nice presentation and thoughtful points to consider. We just purchased an LS XR 4140, touted as the model with more "bells and whistles." We chose the LS partly because of reviews, but also because of the location and reputation of the dealership, and the length of time they have been carrying LS. Kioti was on my short list, too, but the dealership was a distance from us, and they have cycled through a number of different brands in the past few years, now carrying Kioti, Branson, and New Holland. That made me nervous - why are they not long-term with a certain brand? I think your consideration points are spot on, and will prove very helpful to the prospective buyer. Thank you!
I recently purchased (still waiting on delivery) an LS XR4145C. The Kioti was also on my list, but the reason the LS won was due to the standard features and the LS Tier4 engine. Seems like with the other brands, everything is "an added kit, absolutely." That is, unless they release a Special Edition tractor with a Special Addition price tag. Have fun with your new LS!
Good review, Tim and Christy. I thought Christy was going to drive it home when she started down the parking lot. Aaron seemed to do a good job explaining some of the features offered on the 3510. I have a dealer 10 miles away and will go look at them a little closer when it stays warm enough. Good luck in your search for a slightly bigger tractor.
Kioti has a good reputation. I like my LS xj 2025h it works great in tight areas. Lots of pine trees to mow around. Last tractor I had was a 35 hp L series Kubota but it would be to big for my property now. Reverse tine tillers eat up the hp but do a great job. Go for kioti Tim.
@@CWBKC Front end loader lift capacity to full height at pivot pins is a little under 3,400 pounds. The bucket is about 430 pounds. Kioti defaults to skid-steer attachments up front. I added a third-function up front for a grapple. It's a big machine. Mine, with filled tires and grapple up front comes up over 9,000 pounds. I got the cab version; it's quiet and comfortable. I prefer the powershuttle over the HST because the all HSTs seem to bog down if you are on hills or pulling anything heavy. But that might be me.
I bought a ck4010 hst last year, its been a great machine so far, the 40hp has plenty of power for most jobs. I wouldn't get to crazy with the linked peddle though, since owning mine for a solid year, I've come to realize that the t4 engine (emissions) need to run / idle at a minimum of 1800rpm or you will need to regen every few hours, its slightly frustrating but that's just smoke and mirror because the machine sips fuel, its a little louder than other machines but really not a game changer. The other pia with this machine and again, not a big deal is the hydro valves, kioti uses a kioti hydro connection and any implement that runs on hydro power needs to have the matching kioti coupler. Rear ballast is a much, get a quote for wheel weights, I say the wheel weights because when you fill the tires with beet juice or washer fluid then your committed to have that weight on the tractor all the time, atleast with the rim weights you can take the weights off if you need to, plus your not wasting the 3 point hitch with a ballast box.
I have to say... I miss my ck 27 hst.... best size and most usable power you can get. You will not go wrong with a Kioti. Thankfully I sold it to my neighbor, so when my new Kubota is too big, I still get to “borrow” the Kioti.
Nice! I've been looking at the CK3510SE myself. Will be stopping by a couple of dealers again tomorrow. I had looked at a JD 2032r and 2038r, and found the CK to be comparable size wise. But isn't the NX larger (more like a JD 3 series). Edit - Oh, and with the Kiotis, you can always add the factory cab later.
Tim I've been watching a few of your video's on buying a tractor and i am very impressed with this tractor and with the Kubota dealer as well. The Yanmar well like the others not so much.
This guy is awesome he knows everything including prices. He just showed Mr Yanmar how a salesman should be with customers.How was the service department? I wanted to buy the tractor and my lot is under 1 acre. lol
I am very happy with my 1997 Kubota M4700 4wd. It’s 47hp. Bought it used 5 years ago for $7k. One of the best things I’ve bought. Along with a grapple, 72” tiller, forks, and 84” finish mower. Rear tires filled with Rim Gaurd. I would not want a smaller tractor. I need the weight, for the grapple to be able to lift big limbs and logs without the rear tires lifting off the ground.
Tim. I'm biased for these tractors as i sell Kioti and Case IH in Canada, but I also own one myself and can speak from personal experience. Deadong, the makers of Kioti have been around since 1947, so they didn't just fall off the wagon. The South Korean manufacturer makes their own engines, transmissions, bodywork, Hydraulics, castings, plastics etc, all right in one facility. I think the only thing they share with the world trade market is some electronics and probably some small items like rubber seals, gaskets etc... They are well laid out, and speaking from a dealer point of view, the support dealers can get from Daedong is superb. Their something crazy like 220,000 square foot warehouse in Wendell NC is always stocked chalk full and ready to distribute. And dealers have access to many lines of communication for support. Whatever you end up with Tim, i'm sure will be a good educated choice, but I really think you would be happy with the product and support. Cheers
Tim stay green. 😊 my 60 years running three farms I’ve never regretted running John Deere tractors and equipment. We had a dealer that was a 10 min drive away can’t go wrong.
Buy the Kioti. You wont regret it. I originally looked at the ck3510, ended up with NX6010, cab, front hydro added. Best thing Ive done for the farm. 200+ hours and basic maintenance.
Ill be updating to a CK3010 from my CK22 , which has been an absolute brilliant machine , not too many compact tractors will run out 140ton of crushed rock in 3hrs .
Very nice and informative. Aaron, sales guy, was about 100x better informed and interested in helping than the Yanmar guy. I know where I would be inclined to spend my money.
Could you get a tractor with a cab and possibly take the doors off for better communication? Just thinking of those times mowing and plowing snow when a second person might not be getting that close to the action. Also the bigger jobs requiring a bigger tractor might be filmed better from a cab. Lots of locations to mount a camera and more quiet inside the cab.
I live close to a Kioti dealership. My neighbor has a Kioti that's about the same size as my 1025r. I have to say that he has had a lot of problems with his tractor. He's talking about paying it off and trading it in for a John Deere. Of course that is just one tractor and I'm sure there are problems with any tractor.
Decisions, decisions. That kioti looks pretty good! I grew up on a golf course, we had 3 tractors, all cabless, which is my preference. However, The sun gets really hot here in Oklahoma, & it does get cold here. The original cab company solved my dilemma. In the summer, I leave the top on, so it essentially is cabless. When it cools down, I put the cab on, & continue using it. The doors can be removed in minutes, which essentially makes it adaptable to any situation. Just my .02 cents......
Ive never seen such a knowledgeable salesman before. I'd buy from him before the yanmar
Good to see that you and the wife are not color blind. I have always heard good things about Kioti but never had an opportunity to check them out real close. This dealer did a good job pointing out all of the features.
Just got here but that doesn’t take away from the fact that EVERYONE needs to excel at their occupation like Aaron. Refreshing!
I was thinking the same thing, that dude is on point!
I have had the Kioti RX 6620 4 years and absolutely love it! We had owned Deere for years but they just don't measure up anymore. Also, the Deere salesmans selling point, after I asked him why I should purchase their tractors again, was to keep slapping the fender and saying "because it's a Deere!".

Hahaha i knew i was going to see a bunch of (absolutely) comments!
ABSOLUTELY!
And yes, that young man is knowledgeable and a great personality 👍 Good job Aaron ✅🙏🙏
I'm really considering the CK3510. Glad to see you liked it.
Do I believe this is a great video, full of useful information for any prospective Kioti buyers? Absolutely!
I ABSOLUTELY like how knowledgeable the salesman is. I can tell he did his homework. Sadly that is getting rare. Some times they make stuff up,i have even caught and called a salesman out on it in the past. (From a different tractor company). Well done

Glad you complemented that salesman! The whole video I kept thinking to myself this guy is good, and then you complemented him on his knowledge. Great job! I find it hard to find people who take pride in what they do these days.
“Absolutely”, let’s put it that way!

Absolutely I would be very drunk playing that game.
I'd buy a tractor off Aaron, he comes across as a good egg. Knows his product and sells it well, rather than running down the opposition.
My brother purchased a Kioti 40 horse loader tractor 5 years ago. He has 1300 hours on it now. Only issue, 2 worn out ignition lock sets , replaced under warranty.

Sharp tractor..I drive by the Kioti plant in Wendell, NC all the time but never have seen one. Thanks,
“Absolutely “ lol. Nice video. I always talk to the technicians in the garage before the salesman.

Yanmar dealers are in upwards of there hundred miles apart. And there's the parts support to not to bad if you can load up and only drive it in 10 miles but not even being able to order an oil filter or even know the part number is a little disconcerting.
I just bought a CK2510. Some of the things that impressed me were the hydraulics and the fact that all the grease fittings are recessed. I also bought a Franzgard grapple for the front. For me a huge up grade from a Massey GC2310.
Surprisingly well equipped tractors those Kioti's - they are creeping into the market over here in the UK. Of the two salesmen we've seen you visit so far, this fella comes across as far more clued up, far more enthusiastic and much more interested in the machine itself, even down to letting you loose for a few donuts! I certainly know who I'd rather buy off of.
I have a 3032E. Wish I knew about these last July. Keep up the good work Sir.
My neighbor has one like urs and my Ck30 will outwork his any day of the week!
I'm definitely a die heart JD fan but Kioti is my close second ever since I owned the early 2000's DK35 model. I'm pretty sure I put roughly 10,000 HRs just brush hogging with it and never had a single issue. 10/10 would definitely buy it back if I could.
I like the tractor. What was MSRP as equipped less the tiller?
My dad has 2 Kioti tractors and loves them!
I feel like I am out shopping for a tractor so great entertament I actually spent three years looking at different brands before purchase a kioti dk 5510, best purchase ever.
Love my Kioti 3510SE HST.
Tim this is my first You Tube Comment: Your videos are Awesome, and influential. I just got my
first compact tractor an LS 3032. You may find it in the right size dept.for what guys are looking for.
I purchased the LS for price and features and yes your little Ditty of "Am I Blue".
Love your videos, keep up the good work.
David,
Thanks very much for making the effort to sign up and leave a comment. Comments like this are what keep us going.
Just bought my CK3510se last week. Should be taking delivery in the next couple of days. This video helped push me to look at them and I’m glad I did. I live in Greene county and have two Kioti dealers within 45 minutes of me, that was a huge deciding factor also. Thanks for the great videos Tim.
Congratulations!
Just bought a tractor (CK 3510 HST) from Aaron. Fantastic salesman, extremely knowledgeable. I’d suggest Aaron and Haltom equipment to anyone in the area.
Sales person is very inform I am impressed
that's a very nice tractor !! And i have a Kubota.
Tim You are on the right track. I bought a CK 3510 last year and have nothing but good to say. My first job was plowing 12 acres with 2-14. I have done some things with it I thought I should have used a bigger tractor or my skidsteer for. I can only say if you buy one I hope your experience is as good as mine. Bob
No problem pulling 2-14? Hydrostatic?
Tim ; I had it in low range and 4 wheel. This field had not been plowed for about 20 years. Grass hay had been taken off it most of the years but it was compacted. And yes mine is Hydrostatic. Good luck
I sure do wish you got in this tractor. This was the first TTWT video I watched and I ended up buying a Kioti.
Awesome, I'm glad you checked these out. I'm currently running a Branson, also worth a look, tho my next machine will be back to Kioti.
Tim I am a Kioti fan but the nearest dealer is 85 mls. I have three JD dealerships with in 35 mls. The dealer I purchased mine from has 11 locations in Texas and will bend over backwards to help if you have problems.
Tim, nice presentation and thoughtful points to consider. We just purchased an LS XR 4140, touted as the model with more "bells and whistles." We chose the LS partly because of reviews, but also because of the location and reputation of the dealership, and the length of time they have been carrying LS. Kioti was on my short list, too, but the dealership was a distance from us, and they have cycled through a number of different brands in the past few years, now carrying Kioti, Branson, and New Holland. That made me nervous - why are they not long-term with a certain brand? I think your consideration points are spot on, and will prove very helpful to the prospective buyer. Thank you!
I recently purchased (still waiting on delivery) an LS XR4145C. The Kioti was also on my list, but the reason the LS won was due to the standard features and the LS Tier4 engine. Seems like with the other brands, everything is "an added kit, absolutely." That is, unless they release a Special Edition tractor with a Special Addition price tag.
Have fun with your new LS!
Have the cs2410 and love my little tractor. Got mine in 2015, just put 200 hours, I'm sold on them
I just jumped over to watch your Kioti review. I need to go check these out. Thanks
Good review, Tim and Christy. I thought Christy was going to drive it home when she started down the parking lot. Aaron seemed to do a good job explaining some of the features offered on the 3510. I have a dealer 10 miles away and will go look at them a little closer when it stays warm enough. Good luck in your search for a slightly bigger tractor.
Kioti has a good reputation. I like my LS xj 2025h it works great in tight areas. Lots of pine trees to mow around. Last tractor I had was a 35 hp L series Kubota but it would be to big for my property now. Reverse tine tillers eat up the hp but do a great job. Go for kioti Tim.
100% kioti driveline and engine, best warranty 6 year unlimited hours.
I own a RX7320 with cab no problems after 2 years
What’s the lift capacity on your 7320?
@@CWBKC Front end loader lift capacity to full height at pivot pins is a little under 3,400 pounds. The bucket is about 430 pounds. Kioti defaults to skid-steer attachments up front. I added a third-function up front for a grapple. It's a big machine. Mine, with filled tires and grapple up front comes up over 9,000 pounds. I got the cab version; it's quiet and comfortable. I prefer the powershuttle over the HST because the all HSTs seem to bog down if you are on hills or pulling anything heavy. But that might be me.
I bought a ck4010 hst last year, its been a great machine so far, the 40hp has plenty of power for most jobs. I wouldn't get to crazy with the linked peddle though, since owning mine for a solid year, I've come to realize that the t4 engine (emissions) need to run / idle at a minimum of 1800rpm or you will need to regen every few hours, its slightly frustrating but that's just smoke and mirror because the machine sips fuel, its a little louder than other machines but really not a game changer.
The other pia with this machine and again, not a big deal is the hydro valves, kioti uses a kioti hydro connection and any implement that runs on hydro power needs to have the matching kioti coupler.
Rear ballast is a much, get a quote for wheel weights, I say the wheel weights because when you fill the tires with beet juice or washer fluid then your committed to have that weight on the tractor all the time, atleast with the rim weights you can take the weights off if you need to, plus your not wasting the 3 point hitch with a ballast box.
I agree with you, that sells man sure knew his stuff. that's a rare thing these days
Really nice Tractor Tim. I like their 6 year unlimited hour warranty too. I wish I had a dealership close to me.
I have to say... I miss my ck 27 hst.... best size and most usable power you can get. You will not go wrong with a Kioti. Thankfully I sold it to my neighbor, so when my new Kubota is too big, I still get to “borrow” the Kioti.
Ck2610 is your answer if you really liked kioti
My love for green will never die but that is a really nice tractor and I know I would be more than happy to own it
My neighbor has that inferior green one and I get to rub it in all the time cause my orange will outdo his any day of the week!
I live in Montana, a cab is great!
Great salesman not afraid to list the shortcomings.
That makes the buyer feel more comfortable, doesn’t it? Certainly worked with us. He seemed honest as well as knowledgeable.
ABSOLUTELY! Lol....
Absolutely
Absolutely....
Nice! I've been looking at the CK3510SE myself. Will be stopping by a couple of dealers again tomorrow. I had looked at a JD 2032r and 2038r, and found the CK to be comparable size wise. But isn't the NX larger (more like a JD 3 series).
Edit - Oh, and with the Kiotis, you can always add the factory cab later.
i hope you guys get this brand i am pretty much sold on it thanks to this video. i just need to get my side by side paid off :( lol
Tim I've been watching a few of your video's on buying a tractor and i am very impressed with this tractor and with the Kubota dealer as well. The Yanmar well like the others not so much.
This guy is awesome he knows everything including prices. He just showed Mr Yanmar how a salesman should be with customers.How was the service department? I wanted to buy the tractor and my lot is under 1 acre. lol
We didn't have too much time to check out service. We did this over my 'lunch hour' from work.
That guys is such a classic sales man , so funny. Looks like a good tractor.
I am very happy with my 1997 Kubota M4700 4wd. It’s 47hp. Bought it used 5 years ago for $7k. One of the best things I’ve bought. Along with a grapple, 72” tiller, forks, and 84” finish mower. Rear tires filled with Rim Gaurd. I would not want a smaller tractor. I need the weight, for the grapple to be able to lift big limbs and logs without the rear tires lifting off the ground.
Tim. I'm biased for these tractors as i sell Kioti and Case IH in Canada, but I also own one myself and can speak from personal experience. Deadong, the makers of Kioti have been around since 1947, so they didn't just fall off the wagon.
The South Korean manufacturer makes their own engines, transmissions, bodywork, Hydraulics, castings, plastics etc, all right in one facility. I think the only thing they share with the world trade market is some electronics and probably some small items like rubber seals, gaskets etc...
They are well laid out, and speaking from a dealer point of view, the support dealers can get from Daedong is superb. Their something crazy like 220,000 square foot warehouse in Wendell NC is always stocked chalk full and ready to distribute. And dealers have access to many lines of communication for support.
Whatever you end up with Tim, i'm sure will be a good educated choice, but I really think you would be happy with the product and support.
Cheers
Maybe you could get me hooked up for a video tour of the Wendell facility...
I’d love to see a video of you doing a Kioti factory tour. It would be great advertisement for the company and good savings for you.
Haven’t heard anything from them in a week or so, so don’t get your hopes up.
Wheels and some of the tires ( goodyear) are made in the US. They come on metal frames minus the wheels and tires. Good tractors
Aaron did a great job!! I think you should get it!!! Are you thinking of getting it??
Tim stay green. 😊 my 60 years running three farms I’ve never regretted running John Deere tractors and equipment. We had a dealer that was a 10 min drive away can’t go wrong.
I would agree if you're wanting a BIG tractor, but when it comes to CUTs, you get a better bang for your buck with Kubota and even more with Kioti.
Buy the Kioti. You wont regret it. I originally looked at the ck3510, ended up with NX6010, cab, front hydro added. Best thing Ive done for the farm. 200+ hours and basic maintenance.
I have ck2510. One of the best I have owned 👍
Yuvraj you got the video. Been thinking about getting one of these tractors. Going to look at one next week.
Ill be updating to a CK3010 from my CK22 , which has been an absolute brilliant machine , not too many compact tractors will run out 140ton of crushed rock in 3hrs .
I think christy drooling a bit over the tracker two lol 😝 enjoy the video
Love watching this and realizing this is just down the road from us in Greenwood
One of tge best videos I've seen, after Johnny's of course. Nice to see you on a Kioti
This was a great video, we have a Kioti dealer close by, this tractor would fit in well with our 1025R.
Now that,s one fine tractor.He a good salesman.
Very nice and informative. Aaron, sales guy, was about 100x better informed and interested in helping than the Yanmar guy. I know where I would be inclined to spend my money.
Could you get a tractor with a cab and possibly take the doors off for better communication? Just thinking of those times mowing and plowing snow when a second person might not be getting that close to the action. Also the bigger jobs requiring a bigger tractor might be filmed better from a cab. Lots of locations to mount a camera and more quiet inside the cab.
Agree!
i like that sales guy hey knows his machines
I live close to a Kioti dealership. My neighbor has a Kioti that's about the same size as my 1025r. I have to say that he has had a lot of problems with his tractor. He's talking about paying it off and trading it in for a John Deere. Of course that is just one tractor and I'm sure there are problems with any tractor.
Close your eyes and dip in, I am expecting to see it very soon in your garage!!
Decisions, decisions. That kioti looks pretty good! I grew up on a golf course, we had 3 tractors, all cabless, which is my preference. However, The sun gets really hot here in Oklahoma, & it does get cold here. The original cab company solved my dilemma. In the summer, I leave the top on, so it essentially is cabless. When it cools down, I put the cab on, & continue using it. The doors can be removed in minutes, which essentially makes it adaptable to any situation. Just my .02 cents......
