Kioti ?

Before I bought my B2650 I ran a Kioti ck20 for more than 5 years. The only trouble I had with it was the loader control broke. It was an easy fix with parts readily available. Great machine! You get a lot for your money. I would have got another but the closest dealer went out of business due to mismanagement. The next closest ones are hours away.

Remember when talking color Kiotis are also orange. lol
Suposedly the person who started Kioti was somehow involved with Kubota and there was a less than friendly split and Kiotis are orange as a F U to Kubota.

"and Kiotis are orange as a F U to Kubota."

Don't think that was the reason Kioti used very similar color orange. It was about money, enough to stay in business. They were doing what ever they could go get Kubota's more established market shares.

Kioti makes a very good tractor. They are now owned by LS which also makes the New Holland. I own an LK3054 which I purchased new in 1994. Back then Kioti was coming into the US market and you could pick one up very reasonable. Today, their pricing is about the same as Kubota and Deere which means it makes more sense to go with the tried and true Brands.

After years of abuse and deck rebuilding on a Husky garden tractor I decided to take the plunge on a real tractor. Went to several dealers, looked at all the colors I could find in the area and watched many YouTube videos.

It came down to price, support and convenience features as I have graduated from the ranks of spring chickens and am willing to pay for self mounting fels and the like. Orange won on all counts. I could not find a Kioti dealer within a two state area so while it might be a fine tractor it and any parts & service were unobtainable, so off the list it went.
