Tractor thread?

Are these a decent brand? Thanks for any input.

Kioti is a decent tractor. Just as good as the other big names.
Google Kioti Bobcat Doosan Daedong.
The loaders and backhoes are installed in the USA. Not made by the tractor company.
I would not buy any tractor with tier 4 emissions.
I like my antiques. Just bought a Ford Golden Jubilee.
