Having both Kubota & Kioti..... I'm gonna say this:

In Kubota: nothing smaller than B2601 or L2501 (if I go back to Kubota only? L3901 for me!)

Kioti: for sure you want the 3510 or 4010. tractors are identical frame, just a few extra HP on the 40.

For what you are saying you are gonna do? Anything smaller than these will not have enough PTO or pump power to do what you want.

 

This thing would be a sweet setup! Looks brand new in the pictures.

Here is a really nice looking L3901

In the Kioti brand for 3 acres, I'd stick with the CK line. If your pocket book can handle it, I'd go with the CK3520SE HST or CK4020SE HST. You'd have choice of back and forth work, you'll want an HST trans over the Shuttle shift.

The DK line would be nice, lots of power, but over kill for 3 acres. More importantly if you're going to be in the trees a lot, I wouldn't want a cab tractor. Having AC and heat, a radio are nice pluses, but tree branches break cab windows and doors, and they are about $1k each to replace.

I generally think Kubotas are over priced, but this one, if it isn't a scam, is attractively priced. New that would be over $40K.

Edit: Due to the over abundance of scammers out there, I wouldn't be sending any money to hold this. But I'd call the guy and if you think it's legit, I'd race up there to get it.

 

KR & me are very like minded on tractors.

I agree with everything he said in that post.

Kubos are pricey. Tht 1 is probably a scam.

The Kioti 53 series is just too big for us small farm set ups.

Oh & yes if you got enough power to spare? HST is the way to go.

I run 5' tiller, 66" hog, 6' blade, stump grinder, grapple, plows, box blade & so on w/a ck4010.

 

All good info! I will have to swing by the local dealer and check them out.

 

and heres an update post over in the 50+ thread.... tractor stuff...

You need to figure a way to mount a dash cam on that Kioti . . .

 

Front and rear array with logging!

 

I was mowing on my Zero turn and lost my phone again haha I searched everywhere and saw a shiny piece in deck cover yep there it was it went thru pulley system until it got stuck the pulley dug a hole in battery there was a small fire but the screen protector held fine not a crack O well off to get another cheap phone

 

do run a rear camera when grinding lots of stumps... Helps the neck.

But not into the whole GoPro thing people do. I do too much dumb shit for those.

 

I've thought about getting one of these for keeping an eye on the back.

yep that looks a lot like the one in use here. mounted it low down at the leg so it looks right at the grinding wheel.

if you are doing a lot of grinding its a neck saver for sure.

 

Got the heads off today. Both head gaskets looked great.

 

So its saveable?

 

same stuff. if i had one she would know i rolled my riding mower....twice.

 

Well not anymore because you took it apart and now they’re ruined.

 

Yes sir, just got to get the valve guide back in place and locked down.

 

Well, I was looking into a new Kioti. Looks like they have 0% financing for 72 months and .99% financing for 84 months. Even with 84 month financing the payment will be about $375 a month. Need to win the lottery or find a really good deal on a older one
