Overview
A dealership staffer walks through a side-by-side comparison of a trade-in John Deere 3025E against the Kioti CK2610, focusing on specific criticisms of the Deere: its 2-range transmission, non-removable loader, lighter weight, lower lift capacity (roughly 1,150 vs. 1,835 lbs.), lack of backhoe compatibility, and no dash fuel gauge. No hands-on operation is shown. Most useful for shoppers actively cross-shopping these two models and wanting concrete spec-level talking points.
This is a dealership channel selling Kioti equipment, so the comparison is framed entirely from the Kioti's perspective, take the critique of the Deere accordingly.
