Topic

I'm looking for a replacement for an old worn old International 434. I've narowed my search to Kioti DK40SE with a KL401 loader and Kubota L4400 with a LA703 loader. It looks to me like the Kioti is a bit bigger, much heavier tractor with better lift capicity. Financially the Kioti dealer is giving me a better deal than Kubota so is my first choice.<br>
<br>
I'd like to hear anyones opinions on these tractors (either positve or negative).<br>
<br>
It will used mainly to handle 4x5 foot round bales,( piled 3 high) skidding small trees, splitting firewood, and running a snowblower or pushing snow with a 6 foot blade.<br>
<br>
Is it up to the task? Will I need extra weight in the rear when handling bales near the maximum lift capicity? How well do they work in the snow? Easy to start in winter or will it have to plugged in all the time?<br>
<br>
Any and all comments appreciated. <br>
<br>
Thanks
