Kioti for sure is attractive if you don't factor in the resale. Not having local parts support isn't going to make it.
I have John Deere, Yanmar and Kubota locally. The Kioti dealer is almost an hour away.
Since I'm not in a big hurry will keep looking and check out the used market some. Right now I'm leaning hard toward the Kubota L series in the hydro version. Problem is that the 525 loaders are not available with the Skid Steer universal quick attach system. That's a problem for me as I plan on adding a grapple and other accessories and the aftermarket stuff is quite a bit less expensive than the Kubota line......
