Question- not my 9N

[Quazar73]

I have a 9N and i get on this site quite often. However i am looking into buying a newer tractor with a FEL and a Back hoe. I have been looking at Kabota, John Deere, Mahindra, and Kioti. I know there is good quality behind the first 3 however the Kioti for about half the cost is looking to be the same tractor. I spoke with a gentleman i know about his which is similar to what i am looking at (Model ck-30 HST) and he loves it.. never had any probs. Anyone out there have any advise as to if these machines are worth saving the money on??

Have not heard anything either way on the Kioti, everyone around here uses Kabota. I know they will hold up. I would get 4 wheel drive, if they have one for the model (size) you are looking. Well worth the money for the diff. in price.
