Read articles →An owner-operator explains why he picked the Kioti CK2610 HST over John Deere, Kubota, and others, walking through his specific reasoning: JD E-series aluminum rear end, D-series lack of HST, Kubota's lower loader capacity, and the Kioti's larger engine displacement and higher torque. He demonstrates real loader work, logs, pallet forks, a grapple, with actual weights. Best for buyers doing heavy loader work on acreage who want a first-person decision walkthrough rather than a spec-sheet comparison.
The presenter is clearly an owner-operator who bought the tractor for his own property and dog kennel operation, and he explicitly thanks the dealer who sold it to him, so expect a buyer-advocate tone with a favorable lean toward both Kioti and that specific dealer.
