Here’s my new to me 2019 Kioti ck3510se tree service/firewood tractor. I put the third function kit on to be able to run a grapple. Previous owner only put 145 hours on it. Mostly brush hogging.View attachment 419065

Nice. My neighbor had a new Kioti slightly smaller than that. He bought it new in 2019, sold it a year later due to moving out of state, then had to move back here within a few months, wishes he still had the tractor.

It’s a 60” grapple and Virnig claims 300 pounds. It’s made of ar400 steel. So after I turn up the hydro pressure a ritter bit it should still lift close to a ton even with the grapple on there. I don’t expect to be working the tractor that hard often though.

Virnig stuff is built 25min from me. You won’t wreck that grapple !! I’ve put my V60 tine grapple through hell on my skiddy and it looks new minus paint. If you ever need a brush puller Notch makes a mean unit.

I got this used Kioti recently, it had 111 hours on it. I had been looking forever and the tractor market is a *s-wordshow in these parts. I got up at 5am and drive 3 hours north.

It’s super heavy for its size, the tires are loaded. I had a Deere prior and the HST transmission went out. This is hands down a nicer tractor for me. The only thing I don’t care for is the rocker pedal for the hst, I prefer the two pedal setup. Price was a huge consideration. The Kioti dealer is 10 miles away and they are great. So far I’m really liking it.

I see some mention of the Kioti tractors. Last summer one of my sons came over to get one of the flatbeds. I asked what he was going after and he said he bought a Kioti. Now of course I heard coyote and looked at him like "what in the hell are you talking about"? He explained it was a small tractor and he bought a new one from a dealer about 2 hours southeast of here. I laughed and asked him who signs his paychecks. He knew what i meant. He works for the Deere heavy equipment dealer. I joked with him but could not blame him for not buying a Deere. I have never owned a Deere farm tractor. Well he got the tractor home and right away had issues. He took it back once and they "fixed" it. Well they did not fix it and the hydraulics would still leak down. He used it the way it was through the winter and then this Spring took it back to the dealer. They have had it over 6 months now and still have not done anything. Yes you could blame the dealer but a brand new tractor should not have issues.

I am having similar issues that have been ongoing with my purchased new tractor for 4 years now. I had been in the shop 9 months of the 4 years I've had it. Thats over $2700 I've paid on it and gotta no use out of it. I will say the dealer has been working on it and they have their Midwest district rep on it. They have put at least 10k of warranty claims on it but it still isn't fixed. They get it one more time and then I am going to push strongly for a new tractor.

I would recommend this brand still to anyone and I would still buy another. I'm sure I just got the last one off the line right before spring break or something. The company and the dealer has stood behind the warranty and their product this far. We'll see what happens.

Back in about 2010 my brother bought a new Deere. I do not remember the model as I do not pay much attention to modern Deere. It was around 170hp or so. Well it spent more time in the shop than it did working. In the end Deere defined it as a lemon and replaced it with a new one.
