I just got back from our local Cub dealer, Krock's Equipment in Nazareth, PA. He has three of the brand new 2004 Cubs in stock - two 8404's and an 8454. He is expecting an 8354 any day.
I gave the machines a good once over and they are marked "Made In Korea" on the builder's plate. I asked the dealer who is making them and he said that he didn't know, except that the engines were Daedong (Kioti, in other words). I took a second look and the tractors DO have a passing resemblance to Kiotis. The dealer even told me that some Cubs would be coming from China, too.
The prices he quited were really attractive - the 40 Hp at 18900 with loader and the 35 Hp at 17300 w/loader. Nice loaders, BTW - full frame type.
Anybody know who makes these tractors in Korea and parts interchangeability with Kioti?

After searching (and researching for the last 9 months) for a tractor in this hp range, I almost bought a DK 40 (which i really liked). But thanks to a local Cub dealer advertising the new 8404 for what I thought was a good price I am now in the process of buying the Model 8404. And yes it's the exact some thing as the Kioti DK 40. The only differance for me was the price. I bought the Cub for about $1000 dollars less than the Kioti. The tractor alone was 14,900 add a woods loader 3800 (with quick attach 72" bucket) With 7' back blade, 12
" posthole digger and a set of 48" forks (all wood Attachments)the whole thing came to 20,650. After looking around at Kioti's, NH, Mahindra and others this was the best deal I could come up with. I'll let you know how it works next week.
