Bobcats worth a damn? There is a Kioti dealer over there in Prattville. They seem to be solid machines. (pronounced coyote).

Thought hard about a 50hp Kioti. I have a few friends with Kioti/Bobcat tractors that love them. The reason, I didn't go that route is it was going to be within $1500 or so from the Kubota, and I felt that if I decided I wanted something different later on, the Kubota would have more resale value. We never had a JD tractor at work, but had a JD tiller and a batwing mower. It seemed all the parts were JD only and couldn't be bought at local parts houses and JD charged an arm and a leg for them. I've also heard similar stories about their tractors and that worried me. We've got a Massey and 2 Kubotas at work and they've all been good tractors. I bought the shuttle shift model. The tractors we have at work are shuttle shift and I always liked them. If I used a hydro trans, I might have preferred it, but it was more money and I was already used to the shuttle shift. The more I play on it, the more I like it.

All but the Kubota had the same pedals. The JD won the group vote for best. I liked the TYM, it had bigger wheels and tires on it. The Kioti was also nice. We got to use them with a FEL and a box blade.
