    I looked at the Kioti's yesterday. The closest dealer with a model in stock that I'd like to see is about 2.5 hours from here, so if problems it's a half-day trip to deal with it--would that be a deal breaker for you? The Kubota dealer 20 minutes from me has a great rep. I got references...

    Yup you guessed it--n00b could use advice on model/attachments

    Thanks for the advice; I think what I'm hearing overall is to go bigger unless other constraints limit that. In this case, I do have a space limitation; I'll be dealing with getting around tight spaces and possibly tight switchbacks, so physical footprint and turning radius matters to me. The...

    Thanks for the advice! I don't know much about Kioti--what's they're reliability and resale value like? Did you get the DK4210SE? What would the comperable Kobuta model be so I can at least compare apples & apples? Thanks so much for your help, I'm a total n00b at this and am stuck in "analysis...

    Ok that makes sense and I can see the draw; which Kobuta models (if any) have turbochargers? Edit: never mind, I just saw the post about this very question. I'll look through the turbo models. I don't want to overbuy, but I don't want to underbuy either! Thanks.

    I do plan on renting equipment for the road--I think the tractor could be used to construct the level parts, but it's not the right tool to carve into the hill and build the switchbacks. It will not be trivial to build this. Help me understand your thoughts on the turbo? The dealer provided...

    We would like a cab as we'll be dealing with snow during storms. Don't plan to transport frequently. At the moment we don't need a mid-PTO for a mower, but that may change once we get a road in to the lower 5 acres--there's a lot of meadow down there and we may start mowing if we build a...

    Hi all, I know this has been asked a million times, but it also seems that each good answer is unique to the asker's circumstances. I just moved to a 10 acre property on top of a mountain in the foothills of Evergreen, CO. I'm at 7800 feet, have a 750' paved asphalt drive with an 11% grade (21%...
