anyone own a kioti or mahindra tractor?

[SplitG2]

thinking of getting another tractor...looking at the Mahindra and kioti tractors.  anyone who has one please post your thoughts.

Use to sell Kioti till 2011. Went to many service schools over the years. Owned a few also.  Look at  McCormicks, their Kioti's too.

 

What size did you have in mind?

Kioti has a much higher lift capacity, and weighs more than mahindra. 2 Big things when looking for a tractor (unless you want a glorified lawn mower. My friend has a 50 hp Kubota, my 38HP kioti hp. Lifts almost 1000 more Check gal /per/min on pump , and weigh ,front and rear lift,capacity. You'll end up buying a kioti for sure.

budget will only allow 63-73 hp. 4x4

Tractorhouse.com was a site I used several times, both as a dealer and as a customer. Might be valuable to you.

Kinda like the cars.com for tractors.

My Dad bought a Kioti. Owned several others and by far loves this one the best.

I sold some DK 65's which to my knowledge are still going strong. They were the largest Kioti sold at the time. I have several 55's C in the field, one 2005 longing over 6000 engine hours to date. They just had to rebuild the shuttle tran. Still had the original clutch which wasn't slipping.

I think it will be a kioti.  im looking at the rx6010pc cab and the dk5050e hst cab.  what's the largest disc you can pull with your kioti?

[G-Man]

i pull a 16in 3 bottom mulboard plow and a 8' disk.

Gman...with a 38hp? That's better than I would expect. Flat ground?

[G-Man]

Nope I own the top of a hill and heavy clay/shale soil... the kioti out preforms every tractor I've looked at, my neighbor borrowed mine and traded in a 55HP mahindra for a 45HP kioti and does more with it than he ever did with the mahindra. I will say I do have draft control on mine and its a big help, as well as positioning the top link correctly for plowing/ground work. I have a 2006 .dk35 se. With the backhoe attachment and tires are loaded. Oh and get a geared tractor... hydrostatic is for mowing lawns.... you lose 5-'10HP with hydro

Split, their both version of the 55 gear. The DK55 had the highest lifting capacity in that size tractor going. Add a 3pt hitch lever on the rear of the tractor to raise and lower 3 pt. hitch without having to go in the cab. Telescoping lower 3 pt. hitch links make hookup a breeze. Safety feature on p.t.o. stops rotation if the 3 pt. is lifted to high. The 4 cylinder 134 cu. in. turbo charged engine is "very" fuel friendly. Customers said they can work the tractor on 3 quarts of diesel/ hour. They were a very easy tractor to sell at the time. Don't forget todays tractor are rated gross engine HP.. Subtract 7 hp. more for p.t.o.. Kioti hp. are advertised low. I've dyno several 55's and they all were 52 p.t.o. hp..

I owned a 55C for a while and really hated to sell it to a customer. It was such a user friendly unit. The only complaint I had was the fiber glass hood. My brush lines scraped it up pretty good.

No experience on one. I know my grandpa had one at one time and maybe still does. He's picky about tractors. Kioti to be exact.
