Two years ago my brother and I bought a kioti each. He got the 2610 and I got the 3510se. I will tell you we are both extremely happy with our purchase however for what I can remember, I didn't not spend much extra and I am glad I got the extra 10hp. It is noticeably different in power. That being said, he does primarily loader work and lives on flat ground. Excellent machine's

I have the same since 2020 and the machine works great. Its not a speed demon and in high range it slows down quite a bit on a moderate hill. I have a 68 inch snow blower it handles it pretty good but you got to put in low range when there's quite a bit of snow. The rhing i ate the most is there is no lights that comes on in the cab when you open the doors. I made my own with led strip and micro switches. An other issue is both front tires side walls are crack real bad and i only have 56 hours on it. Kioti is revising a warranty claim for that. I did an led work light update and light bar for the rear.

I think the R14 tread is way better than the R4s. I have had R4s on my John Deere, and they're okay on hard surfaces, but not much good in snow or mud. I think these R14s will outperform the R4 tires in every way except for longevity on concrete. And the cab for winter work would be great for sure. I'd be as excited to have a cab in the summer too. It would not only keep me out of the heat, but also out of the bugs and dust. Especially when brush hogging, I've run over underground bees and been stung a few times.
