I looked at Massey, JD, Kubota (new and used) and Mahindra. I settled on a Kioti CK20HST FWA (22hp 3-cylinder diesel) because it was a lot cheaper than JD, Massey and Kubota and it outweighed the rest. In comparing axle size for example, it reminded me of the older, used Kubotas that I looked at - heavy-built and proven design and materials (steel hood, fenders, etc.). I had a chance to snag a bigger CK35 (35hp 3-cylinder diesel) tractor for only $1k more but they are a foot wider and I already had enough tractors that were too big for some of the places that I needed to access. SO, I opted for the CK20 w/front loader and backhoe. After owning and using it for 7 years I am well-pleased with the little 'power-brute' - I have lurked on numerous Kioti forums and have noticed that the Kioti model with the least problems/complaints is the CK20. Most comments echo my experience; 'A real workhorse', a great little tractor' etc. Remember, the hydrostatic drive greatly increases the agility and usable power and traction of the tractor. It may not suit your needs but you should consider the Kioti brand. Personally, I wanted to support one of the only Pacific-rim countries that is and has been a steadfast American ally: South Korea, NOT Japan! :evil: BUT.......that's just me.
