My new side hustle... - 10/15/20 02:27 PM

Or, my new ride. Just bought some land in Johnson county. Needed some help with the chores and have plenty of projects at work too. Here comes a lifetime of adventures! So if y'all need a little tractor work or trenches dug...

Still waiting on my grapple and post hole digger. After a LOT of research, I went with a Kioti. Just a better stronger tractor than the others, especially for the price.

I bought one of their tiller attachments for tilling my garden and have had it for about 17 years and it's been bullet proof.

What specifics did your research reveal that made the Kioti a better tractor?

So far I have a box blade, brush hog, finish mower and pallet forks. Ordered the Everything Attachments grapple and post hole digger. Got lots of brush to clear. Looks like there will be a nice bonfire when it get a little colder.

Although I just sold my house, I could put this on a 0% interest deal they had going. Figured I would put the final sale price in an interest bearing account and have the payments pulled from there, earn a little money on it.

Either way, I am SO ready to work! Next up, going to have to get an IBC tote for some tree work.

FEL capacity, hydraulic pump capacity and oddly enough, where the fuel tank is. I've talked to a few people about things and Deere equipment is nowhere near the quality equipment it used to be. Kubota didnt have the lift and pump capacities I was looking for, for size tractor I was looking at. Not bashing either of the companies, just didnt see the bang for the buck compared to the Kioti.

Seriously thinking of getting the General Lee stickers for it. She would look good with the "01" on the side of her. grin

I'd like to get pallet forks for my tractor. I'd like to have disc and stump grinder too.

Only implements I have, box blade, 6 foots shreader and 6 foots straight blade. Never used my straight blade but will here pretty soon on my driveway at the lake place.

Box blade is really handy. Box blades work good for many things. Good for small food plots, drop the tines, put her in low and get after it. Throw some seeds out and hit it again and go home.

Wow, that's nice. Congrats! Looks like they're trying to imitate Kubota. That's what I thought it was at first. I need one of those....

Many many years ago, Kioti was building parts for Kubota and I think the Kioti engineers decided to make their own tractor company and ripped off designs and such from Kubota, including the color scheme.

A little history between the two...

No sir. I had a certain trailer company that I was wanting, waited 10 weeks for a trailer because he couldnt get tires or axles because of Covid. Even the Kubota dealer said he was 35 trailers behind, because he couldnt get them. And if you're interested in doing that, just remember they are going to give you the cheapest trailer they can find and it probably wont even have brakes.

I havent decided on the trailer package yet for the same reason you got your own. You got the new tires too.
