RTV and Kioti bump

"RTV and Kioti bump"

Seeing the thread title, I thought you had a collision. :whistling:
 
Haha ya'll... Well I did have a few deer jump in front of me near the barn driveway late yesterday. Usually there are 3 that run together. always jumping at the worst times. I saw 2 and thought for an instant the other one might jump in the cab with me.. but no .. It ran down the fence..
2 weeks ago though one ran into the side of sis's car. tore up the fender and then doubled back and got the door. In the shop now. 2 years ago, in the same place just a piece from here, one dinged their new car's door with just 500 miles on it. deer.. I think they are only good in a pot...
 
Thanks David and Two Guns.
I used the Kioti 4wd to pull out a stuck skid steer. I can't find that picture but the skid steer was quite heavy( edit: http://www.nettractortalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13173) .. but I was sure glad it was around to pull that Cat out out. Yep, I was stuck in a "dried up"pond and...sinking.
I like spraying pastures with it but the lift has a mind of it's own and will lift too high sometimes and then next time not so I am cautious when tilling the garden with it. I am sure if I used it more , then it would work better because I would remember the quirks (it's and mine).

If you have a lota limbs, that exhaust might cause some headaches plus blowing in your face on the first picture. That is one reason I went with the Kioti , like in one of your pictures,the exhaust comes out horizontal and won't be blowing in the face. It could possibly be changed though. I like HST and wish I had it but opinions vary . Good Luck, collie
 
For FEL work the HST is preferred.

Since the larger HP tractor is gear, there will be a significant difference in power to the ground. 43hp HST is minimal power at best.

Any other features different about them? How many years difference?
 
Oh, just noticed the newer FEL does not have QA bucket removal.... That's a deal breaker for me. If you buy a non QA FEL you will regret it.

I have 5 different attachments I regularly use on my FEL.

The L4350 is a 1998 single owner. Not sure about the L4330 Grand L series. The story goes it belonged to a widow lady. Both look straight. Check this one out boys! A 2011 M6040 ONE OWNER Ultra Cab, 561 hours 4WD $18, 000. Has to be a scam. https://medford.craigslist.org/grd/5287469897.html

I've had HST and gear. Just depends on the application. Both are worthy. Don't scrimp on things like QA FEL. The uses of a properly equipped tractor cannot be overstated.

I started with a B2910 (30HP) HST tractor. Then a L4400 (44HP) gear tractor. Then a M9540 (95Hp) hydraulic shuttle tractor. Each have their place. Concentrate on options.
