Good video. I have a 2-day-old Kioti HX1201PC (in Slovenia, it is labeled as such). As you described, a very spacious cabin, everything you need is at hand.
Hey Nathan, I have an idea for a video. Could you do a video on all the Kioti options for the CS20 series? And all the different implements for them? I don't think people know about what you can add on to them. Or the difference between CAT 1 & CAT 1 sub compact implements.
I like the Kioti. Owned one and it was great. I will say that in certain US markets the Kioti takes a hit on the resale/trade in value as compared to Kubota and Deere. That’s always a deciding factor for the full time farmer that does frequent trades..am I going to get my money back Or not? The old , “pay now or pay later” question still remains. In my opinion, I would rather buy a gently used Kioti at a much lower used price than buying one new but that’s just me. We’ll see what the used values are over the next 2-3 years. Larger Kubota tractors seem to be holding about a 68% value at 3 years based on my limited research of online auction price results on the M6-111. If the Kioti could do 65% or greater in value at three years then that would be an overall win for Kioti. I think another good comparison video would be the HX Kioti compared to the TYM T115 or T130. Both Korean tractors and both are loaded with standard features.
Interesting input. You could use the PX1153 (predecessor to the HX) for value retention data, and I think it's doing well. The last 3 years have been unrealistic and in many cases skewed that data. People were recouping 100% in some cases based on crazy inflation. I think these will hold value well, but starting 20k-30k less helps a bunch.
I am actually on the market for a new tractor for our vineyards, narrow, been using a Kubota b2410 asa secondary tractor. It has been a pain with the cost of parts and access. I paid 220 euros for a small 20cm strut for hydrostatic return. Been eyeballing some of the Kiotis that could suit me, I have no experience with Kioti but I might give it a go. 2800 or the 3300 series. Ny input guys, something up to 50 inches in width.
Thanks! I doubt we'll see an open station 14k lb HX. More likely we'll see the new RX get a bigger brother around 85hp that will have an open station model, closer to 10k lbs.
I was waiting for you to grunt while opening that there KU-BOATERS hood. I get it man, I get it. I agree. bang for buck you cant compare. I had a 2021 NX4510 it caught COVID (tranny bad solenoids inside) so they sent me a2022 TYM T494 back in 2018 I had a YANMAR sa324 25 hp w backhoe.. ALL GREAT MACHINES> the one thing I hear is the feel of the hydraulic controls ??? is the Ku-boater that much smoother? I never touched one. the only 3 tractors I ever operated are the 3 above. I compared the grand L6060 I think to the NX the KU-BOATER ROPS was $53000 plus tax (and most likely some other BS) I got the NX for 32K it was a demo with a dozen hours (or so I was told) (everybody lies) the entire KIOTI lineup seems to be very reliable and more capable than competing KU-BOATER. $53k VS lets say $35 - 36. both ROPS. PS the COVID machines of 2021 is a real thing. I got one. my dealer was cool and made it his problem. it did cost me a few gold dabloons more! aaHHH! MUCK ! its well worth it. nobody local can split an E-HYDRO KIOTI and get it right around here. I smile everytime I get on problem free T494 there is a lot to be said for MECHANICAL FUEL INJECTION. there is a vidjas called KUKJE VS EVERYBODY ELSE. watch that if you are looking into 50Hp HEAVY FRAME machines.KIOTI and TYM and YANMAR are super reliable and tops in the BANG FOR BUCK category. ok I'm tired of typing , I'm going to move some logs.

I honestly think that Kubota and other “brands” are becoming “German” brands in the sense of ripping customers off when you buy their products, when you service them, parts, warranty… Kioti and some other brands are up there, it is just that I and many others I would presume never thought of this and other brands.
Does Kioti have inhouse financing and insurance like kubota does? Kioti's network of dealers is horrible in my area. Deere and kubota have dealers in every major town.
Dealer network is very important in your area. I'd expect you to see more dealers pop up as Kioti continues to grow rapidly, but they're probly not a good option for you until you have a good local dealer. Kioti doesn't own their own finance or insurance company, but they pay DLL to offer those services to their customers with great financing options. This HX can be financed 0% for 48 up to 2.99% for 84 right now.
The Kubota has M6 has 3 year/3000 HR powertrain and 2 year/2000 HR bumper-bumper. The Kioti has 4 Year/ unlimited HR powertrain and 2 year/unlimited HR bumper-bumper. Great question!
Kioti is now the 3rd largest compact/utility tractor brand by volume in the U.S. They have an even greater foothold on other countries like Canada, Australia, Korea (obviously), and multiple European states. This isn't even counting all the tractors sold that they make for other brands. I think they're allowed to call themselves a brand now.
Why such a small bucket on all the kioti s and none on the kubota? Kubota is 10 times better under rate there power kioti lies about there’s. I think you where embarrassed to show the kioti bucket against the kubota 😂
Oh, i'm glad you mentioned this (twice for some reason). The Kubota LA1955 is offered in two bucket options, 84" HD @22.6 Cu Ft Heaped Capacity, and 84" light material @27.9 Cu Ft. The Kioti L1155 is a 90" HD bucket with a 26.13 Cu Ft Heaped Capacity. The Kioti bucket wider, but doesn't appear as wide because the tractor itself is much wider. It's shorter and offers better visibility. Thanks for commenting! I'm glad you had me look into this info.
