S1E107 We've Had Our Kioti Tractor For 3 Years. Would We Buy It Again?

A three-year ownership retrospective on the Kioti CK3510SE from a homesteader on a two-acre property in upstate New York. The audio-first podcast format means no footage of the tractor in action, but Brian covers his original buying decision (comparing Kubota L-series, Mahindra 1600, and Kioti), why he stepped up from the CK2610, and real-world dealer frustrations including a 50-hour service quote of $450 versus the ~$225 he sourced elsewhere. Best for shoppers weighing the CK3510 who want an honest long-term owner verdict and a candid warning about vetting your dealer.

An owner-operator running a small homestead farm who hosts a broader self-sufficiency podcast, so tractor content is one segment within a longer episode rather than the main focus.
