John, really don't know about the price. But, I recently purchased my first tractor and it was a JD755. I bought it at a auction and paid $9500. It had about 450 hours on it, a JD70 front end loader, and a 60 inch JD Belly Mower. It had turf tires and is 4WD. It looked like it had been treated fairly rough and had been left outside, but runs and starts well. After checking the tractor out and some paint, I have been very satified with my purchase. I have used it for many chores around the house and it has lived up to most of my expectations. But, since this is my first tractor, I have nothing to compare it to. I have found, that I would not have been happy with the tractor if it had not had 4WD. I have needed the 4WD when using my box blade, tilling, and with the front end loader. Good luck, with what you decide to purchase.

I think that most people are pretty conservative when it comes to a purchase the<br>size of a tractor plus attachments. Kioti doesn't have a track record. It has <br>been several years since I test rode a couple of them and they have probably<br>changed since then. At that time I was disappointed in several things - although<br>these may have nothing to do with the machine's suitability or reliability.<br> Things I liked: the price! The dealer's personality.<br> Things I didn't: engine and gearbox had more mechanical noise than the other<br>brands. The engine response was slow to changes in throttle...More like a constant<br>RPM diesel than the more modern diesels - which respond to the throttle quickly,<br>more like a gasoline engine. The external surfaces of a lot of the engine<br>castings was rough and unfinished. Grinder marks were not smoothed out. <br> Overall, my impression was of a machine built to fit a position in the<br>market based on price. This was accomplished by using older technology and <br>eliminating some of the hand finishing. From the gear noise I suspect that it <br>had straight cut gears as well. Nothing wrong with this, though.<br> None of this is a knock on Kioti. Older technology is at least well worked<br>out, and they do what they do so that they can enter the market. Its not the<br>approach that would get me to buy their tractor, but it is a legitimate <br>approach to business and to manufacturing IMHO. Like you, I haven't heard pro<br>or con about their tractor over the long haul. I wonder if the dealer would be<br>willing to give you the names of some owners? Also, maybe it would be worthwhile<br>to check some dealers of other brands who have Kioti's that have been traded in.<br>People seem to change brands for a variety of reasons, and if nothing else<br>their comments would balance the findings.<br> Whatever you find out, I'm sure we would all be interested......

It looked like the 'bota 2710 was for me, but it is delayed due to the backhoe frame part not showing up... so I'm still shopping. I just drove a used JD 770 with only 125 hours on it... SST trans/70 loader/#7 hoe. Great shape. Asking $19,500, which seems at least $1,500 high. Any comparable info? I know that the 2710 is nicer tractor: HST trans and nicer user interface, bit more HP (but doesn't HST rop HP?). What to do, what to do?

The L2500 4wd new goes for about $11250 brand new and naked. Check prices at http://www.carverequipment.com/. I also got a Price at Rhinehart Equipment in GA for $10700.
The new L3010 goes for about 13,300 new 4wd with Live PTO, if you got the cash you can't go wrong, or look at the great Boomer TC29 or Deere 4200 - 4300

The lift capacity is what really matters. Things get weird with the stablity of your tractor if you are lifting anything above a third of your tractor's weight if you don't have a counter weight. Think of breakout capacity as your safety factor as your load you are lifting is moving (going up!). Moving loads have a shock effect, the practical expression is that it will make a load seem much heavier (get on an elevator by yourself and jump - the car will move!). The larger the difference between the max load & the breakout, the better the safety factor against bending something on your loader. <br>As far as what was said earlier, the breakout force should be measured from your bucket, where the load is. As as it being from ground level, true. That is where your bucket has the greatest reach from the tractor & pins on its

I've been away a while. You have a backhoe huh? That is the way I'd go for trees of this size. Get a good grab around some roots around the bottom and give'm a good pull. Two or three grabs ought to lift the whole mess out. I've also put a chain up as high as I could reach for leverage and drag the tree out. I do this where I can't get a mower. Rootless is better than any kind of stump, but mowing/sawing is faster. It depends if you want to put up with the stumps until they rot out. As far as regrowth - I mow several times a year. It takes care of them and they usually die by the second season.<br>I guess I'm saying here is that there are several ways, depending on your stituation and what you want to put up with when you are done. <br>Lee

If this a one time job, I'd probably go with the back blade. You will get tons more use with it in the long run and it's cheaper. However, the box is better for this application. <br>Lee
