Strengths Everything- substantially made. No problems

Weaknesses None, well maybe little cramped on the floor board.

Overall Why is it some reveiws rate this machine 1 out of 10 and others 10 of 10? How can they be so different? I've got 150 hrs of heavy stone moving, grading, and brush clearing and never had one problem. Not one. Plenty of torque. Leads me to think any 1 out of 10 ranking is bogus.

Strengths Quiet running, easy to see over the hood,loader has easy running controls. Shutttle shift is smooth to operate.

Weaknesses Had a problem with glow plugs not cycling. The dealer fixed the problem under warranty.

Overall Would buy another.

Strengths This tractor is great! We've been moving wood around getting ready for winter and this gear model with the 5ft FEL is super.

Weaknesses The engine is a little noisy and the dash needs lights for night work

Overall I know others have had loader problems but this tractor has been trouble free, rugged and is priced right. I would buy another in a heartbeat!!

Strengths Good looking

Weaknesses Rather unrefined engine and way too little power for the weight of the tractor. Very underpowered. Loader cracked on torque tube. It looks like Kioti won't fix. No need for excess weight other than to make up for poor quality of steel used. Fit and finish poor, unit shakes too much, poor dealer network and way overpriced for what you get. I was suckered in by the pitch that it was "thousands" less than a Kubota. I should have shopped Kubota. Trying to trade now and resale value is extremely poor. :(

Overall

Strengths Nice looking, comfortable, lots of options are standard, but not up to the build standards of Deere. Has features, but has not optimized placement of them!

Weaknesses Engine lacked sufficient HP to run large PTO powered equipment (could not cover its own width!) Loader uses misleading data so it appears to lift more on paper than it can in actual use. Deceptive practices are bad! Tractor is too heavy, too large for the engine HP.

Overall I was very disappointed in the test drive. The loader is only slightly better than much smaller tractors and clearly inferior to the Kubota L2800's loader. Serious concerns about broken Kioti loaders on some discusion sites makes reliability a "zero" for the tractor.

Strengths Great lift capacity with front bucket, greater than other machines with more HP, user friendly, just hop on an go

Weaknesses Ground clearance is reduced with subframe mounted backhoe, hydraulic filter for syncro shuttle is mounted underneath where filter for hydro is mounted up higher.

Overall Biggest bang for the buck, price was delivered with sales tax and after kioti rebate which was cheaper than other brands of lesser HP with no sales tax or delivery.
