I am thinking about selling my L3010, 1999, Kubota and getting either a 2011 Kubota 3400 or a 2009 Kioti CK 35. They both have Sims cab on them with heat. both 4x4, any thoughts. My L3010 does not have cab that is why I am thinking about trading up. Thanks

I went to have a look at the CK35 kioti, for some reason it looks smaller than my L3010, I checked out the specs on both units and they seem to be very similar except the 3 point on the CK will not lift as much as the L by about 500lbs, 1700lb versus 2200lbs. The CK is in very good condition with a cab, loader and a 5' snowblower. Any advice....thanks Gary

3010 is hst Sims do not make a cab for it, rear snowblower on the ck but only 5' I would put the 6' off my 3010 on it. My big concern is will the ck lift 20' logs? I cut my own wood and carry the logs to my saw horse. Was wondering if ck would do it

Thanks Teg, I called them and the price with solid rear glass with a wiper and a heater and Ontario taxes is $6400 delivered....I may go that route. What did you think of the ck35 I can get that for $20000 Canadian. Do you think it would do the same job as the L3010? I think my tractor is worth about $13000 canadian

My tractor the 3010 has 1260hrs on it, and runs excellent has a little rust here and there. I agree with you on the tires, I would be looking for a set of turf tires for sure. That is one of the main reasons of not buying it.

Just a thought. Did you price out new tractors? Warranty, and you get just what you want. With interest so low and a good trade it may be in your better interest to go that route. Just my cents.

I like Kioti, but the resale value is not what Orange and Green have. They typically have beefier loaders and 3 point hitches though. In a comparison of the L2501 vs the CK2610 the Kioti has better numbers, a slightly better cockpit in my opinion, but searching used rigs you can see the Kubota is still worth more. In my area the CK2610 was the same price as the Bota.

I tested a few CK35s and while I decided it was too large for my needs, I liked it overall.
