WHY DID I OVERLOOK THIS TRACTOR BRAND FOR SO LONG?!
For years viewers have been saying "talk more about Kioti!" And I always figured maybe some day I would, but today was never that day. Well, "today" has finally arrived. With Deere and Kubota prices where they are, Kioti is looking better than ever. So let's take a walkaround of this Kioti DK6010SE Cab tractor and tell you how it fares in the line up of similarly sized competitors.

I've had a 41 hp Kioti for 12 years now and have put it through the paces including bush hogging, snowblowing 3 long driveways and a parking lot, loading a sawmill, tilling, logging, etc. It's a heavy, well built tractor.
I'm glad you finally recognized the quality of Kioti tractors. I've owned a DK5310 for 5 years now and absolutely love everything about it, including the stereo, lol.
To be fair, I've said for many years that they were right after Kubota or JD. They are finally getting enough market share where it makes sense to sell them.
My biggest Kioti struggle is that there’s no dealer support in my area. They seem like a fine machine, a friend’s dad has one that I’ve messed with. A lot of bang for your buck there.
I did a lot of homework before I bought mine and bang for the buck Kioti was awesome. Then put what they offer for a warranty and it was the clear choice for me. No hate for Kubota or JD but I am super happy with my choice.
I purchased a Kioti CK 2620 cab hst se. I have ten hours on it and so far no complaints. It’s big enough to dig and load what I need but small enough to cut the grass. The size is great for maintaining trails. The CK and DK cabs fit through a eight foot garage door which was important.
The CK (and presumably its Bob Cat equivalent) is a very beefy and capable machine in that 25 HP category, IMO matched only by the 2515 TKM/Branson (and its Bad Boy equivalent).
I currently have a RX7320 & CK2610 HST Kioti tractors and previously had a DK5510. Excellent tractors and a lot of tractor for the money. I really love the weight and standard equipment compared to other brands. I highly recommend them
Hi Courtney, I have had a Kioti (CK3510se) for two years now and couldn’t be happier. It has far exceeded my expectations and no complaints or issues so far. I have a small channel that I have done several videos using various attachments. Good luck with the Kioti’s. I think it is a great choice.
I just subscribed to your channel. I don’t have a Kioti, but your name just spoke to me. Since that’s basically what my farm is, back yard country living.
@@lordchaa1598 thank you very much. I hope you will enjoy some of my videos. I don’t do anything fancy and not the best speaker or video editing. Just a old southern country boy that grew up on the small farm and enjoys tractors and outdoor life.
I’m glad to see your critiques of Kioti. That’s my plan is to buy a Kioti. Solid stable company that makes their own equipment. The lifting stats by far exceed a comparable Kubota You should check out a new CK20SE with all the upgrades such as standard rear remotes and such.
I have a CK3510SE with a backhoe and bucket. The reason I bought it was the bucket and backhoe lifted and dug higher and lower, it had a larger hydraulic pump and it was heavier than the comparable JD.
The arm rest get in the way of the access to the loader and the HST 4x4 controls. I have the DK6020 HSE and have put 120 hrs on it since I got it in April. Great machine for sawmill and snow and general work around the farm.
Listening for things going wrong rather than the stereo is the best idea...
Owned a Kioti DK40SE for 10 years. Beast of a tractor. I run a sawmill and log with my tractors, so I really put them through the paces. I put 1,500 hours on it and it never let me down. I recently traded for an LS MT3-57 cab/hst tractor. My reasoning was because my local Kioti dealership came under new ownership, and the new dealership is less than impressive.. I was interested in an NX model, but the sales staff seemed like they couldn't be bothered. So I checked out an LS at my local LS dealer and it impressed me. In the past, I know you reviewed an LS. However, it was a lower end model. I am hoping in the future, you review an MT-3 series (premium) LS model. I have 300 hours on it so far and I am very impressed. It stands right next to my old KIOTI as far as quality and durability. LS is constantly improving their machines, and trust me, the MT3 series is formidable.
I've had this model for almost 2 year now. I took delivery of the tractor December 2021. I have about 225 hours on it. Love this tractor! Still need the liquid ballast in my tires...it's a must. The factory radio sucks! Don't get get the factory radio option. Buy a head unit and speakers online. Also, I'm 6'7" and fit pretty good in the cab.
Love my Kioti CK3510se tractor had it 5 years no issues. Came from dealer with rim guard in tires and upgraded battery, red top. Warranty and price was way better than competition. Highly recommend there tractors.
I have had a Kioti DK4710se HST with a cab for a few years now (maybe 4 years now). Growing up working on the family farm, we mainly ran large John Deere tractors. Obviously, having an established relationship with the local/regional John Deere dealers I started there. I originally looked at John Deere and Kubota, but the price quotes turned me to looking at other brands, mainly LS and Kioti. Sure, I wish my Kioti had some more creature comforts that the major brands offer, but my cab tractor with loaded rear tires, additional rear SCV (2nd), and 3rd function was considerably less (multiple thousands of dollars) than that of the major brands with an open station came in at. If you're in the market I would highly suggest for people in the market for a tractor to look at Kioti and LS tractors.
I’ve had a CK 2610 Kioti for 2 years. Absolutely love it 👍👍
Have a CK3510SE with a cab and love it especially in the winter time. Nearly 300 hours on it in a little over two years and no issues. Could of used a sub compact but my wife wanted a cab. Now I want a DK series or larger. Very tough stout machines.
I have a Kioti DK5310SE and love it. Such a great tractor! I went away from Kubota because of the treble pedal and price.
Great demo. I just bought a Kioti CK2620 and love it. Thanks. - N Idaho -
Nice review! Nice tractor! I'm not a cab guy, but the visibility on that cab seems awesome. The reason the "Forward" pedal is closest to the operator is common equipment design. Controls are always placed in a configuration where the most often used controls are closest to the operator and the least used the farthest. Mobile cranes and road graders both having many controls are two good examples.
i have a cx2510 cab and love it , been a deere guy my bulk of time but man these kiotis just hit all the boxes of price & performance
If you like the DK, you’ll love the NX series. They sing and dance very nice unit cabs a little bigger for you tall guy’s.a beast
300 hrs on dk series. Loader. Hydrostatic and rear ballast. Regular maintenance and service schedule. Very happy for my 10 acre needs.
I'm glad to see you enthused about this machine and hope you do keep one to see how well it performs, I own a Bobcat 2025 and have not been disappointed. I do think they are stronger than the green ones of comparable size/hp in numerous ways. The unfortunate thing is I believe some dealers that do the final setup either don't know how to or don't care what they send out the door, I chose a reputable long established dealer and have not had any issues and have actually had them make a home repair for a factory service bulletin that I wasn't aware of. As you know service and support is just as important as the machine you buy. If the 2 tractors you have doesn't have an option called link pedal you should add it (pretty simple to install) works great for loader work. Keep the great videos coming!!
I also had a Kioti for 4 years, was a great little tractor. Went to trade up, I ran into dealer network issues. Again great tractor but was told I had to wait 6 months. With no other kioti dealers to turn to i went with a Deere. I hope they can keep ramping up their brand.
Thanks for covering Kioti. I don't have a dealer nearby so at this time I wouldn't consider the brand but if a dealer opened up within an hour or two I'd definitely look into Kioti instead of Deere.
Seems like most of the "other" brands out perform the big 2. Love my massy 1825E!!
Thanks for all the valuable information on this video and videos past. I have learned a lot and appreciate the safety tips in past videos. Recently purchased 76 acres in Iowa and looking forward to purchasing a tractor in the spring. One of the challenges I am having is find the right size for the property - I feel a sweet spot would be 35-40 HP. Keeping in mind that I have farmer fiends who have the machinery to do the heavy lifting needed on rare occasions. I like how the tractor in your video is compacted enough for getting around tight wooded areas and enough HP when needed. Much if the advise I get is “ it’s better to have more and not need it, than need it and not have it.” Experience level with tractors - is minimal- drive a 30HP 2003 JD back in the day for brush hogging fields - but that’s it.
Have a Rx 7320 power shuttle cab tractor got it the end of June and I now have 111 hrs on it !! Absolute beast and great tractor!!!
I love this channel, so much good information. Interestingly I just started watching a couple weeks ago and started with the older videos first, and that is when you were hard core John Deere or Kubota only lol. The closest Kioti dealer to my house is 250 miles away, and the closest John Deere dealer is 125 miles away. However, for the money, and what you get, I am willing to make the longer drive, and I do all of my own servicing so the only time it would need to go back in is for warranty. So I ordered a new DK4520 and cannot wait to get it. I will be checking the Good Works Tractors website for implements and attachments as soon as I get my new tractor home...
Radio in cab: I used to work in forestry equipment all day and it seems odd but if you wear the squishy/foam earplugs and use cab radio it will allow you to hear radio much better.
I have the same dk4710 turbo, 47hp version, the rear defrost + wiper , is absolute heaven blowing snow. The blowback and frost melt right away, you see everything.
Had mine for 3 years, been solid so far.
Love my Kioti! 2021 CK3510SE HST (no cab).
I used your discount code to buy tractor tire chains and saved $42! Thanks!!
Got a CK 2510, a little 25 hp "gentleman farmer" tractor with loader and backhoe. Love it.
I've beat mine through the woods with the Rhinohide canopy plowed. Grappled. Box bladed. Stump bucketed. (I should have waited for your stump bucket) fork lifted. You name it. Only had normal maintenance. It's a great value. The battery access isn't that bad. Like 3 minutes.
I have a 2022 Kioti CK2610 HST SE with Cab, and the thing is a beast. It can easily be ramped up from 24 HP to 44 HP is 2 hours or less and doing so without the emission control system that larger tractors have to endure. It came with duel hydraulic rear remotes, rear wiper with fluid revisor, the seat came with arm rests and the HVAC system is fantastic. The tractor is a little tippy and could use some liquid ballast to help keep the back end on the ground when lifting heavy items. We use the thing all the time. I recently bought a 72 inch rear mounted snow blower for this winter and honestly can't wait for the first big snow. I plan on adding a radio inside at some point. The price new was excellent as well at $32,500 delivered to my front door. Bobcat has almost the exact same tractor for $45,000 and the Bobcat has a lower bucket lifting capacity. It was a great buy and I have Zero regrets.
I have a ck3510 se kioti tractor I have had it for a year and put over 200 hard hours on it with no problems you will be very pleased with it 👍🚜😎
That's a nice looking tractor that will easily make you rethink the "must buy green" school of thought.
First time tractor owner and I purchased a Kioti CK3510SE HST from a dealer up the street about 2.5 years ago. My tractor has arm rests, I wonder if yours originaly had them but were not attached? Maybe that prior owner didn't like them . . . So far I've not seen a Kioti w/out arm rests - but that might of been how the dealer orders them. My guess it's a quick upgrade . . . I put a gravel weight box (thanks for harping on rear weight!) on the back (no fluid in the rear tires) and for my purposes works great - lifting hay bales safely out of our pickup truck. The Speeco 3pt quick attach (Or whatever they're called) works great on them. JD and Kuboto are great machines, but with the money I saved that went to 3rd function, grappler, fork lift, gravel box, brush hog, hydraulic 3 point top link, post hole auger and more. So far mine has been easy to work on, but I'm not looking forward to swapping batteries when the time comes 😉
I’ve had my Kioti RX7320 for 4 years now. It is very reliable, great quality, reliable and easy to use. It was 30K cheaper than a Deere. It does have a more basic cab, though. Before I bought it I did some research and the price of parts, should there be a problem later, is so much lower than brands like Deere, Kubota, New Holland or CaseIH.
Id love to see you get out and use that little CX. I was eyeballing a 1025, cab, mower, blower, FEL. Stopped by my Kioti dealer, I can save a BUNCH AND get a MUCH better tractor with the CX and have AC in the cab?! I'm 95% that I'll be pulling the trigger on that! Although dealer said rumor of the CS getting AC too.. thats tempting!
So I’ve known a lot of guys like you who never touch the stereo. I think I’m one of the very few who uses it. Not having a Bluetooth stereo in my tractor would almost down it for me. I even put sound absorbing material on the floor under the factory mat. I also plan to upgrade the speakers. 9:52 I totally get what you’re saying about the battery being in a goofy spot. The advantage is allowing more air flow through the coolers. The engine usually doesn’t overheat, but the engine oil and hydraulic oil run hot. Higher temperatures reduce oil life and is hard on the hydraulic system seals and hoses. Most users it’s no big deal. Heavy mowing in the heat or heavy duty transmission use can build a lot of heat to dump. Just something to consider 😎
And unlike John deer, kioti won't take you to court for doing your own service work! I will never own anything John deer makes!
Yea that was settled a couple years ago, and the farmers won.
Nice video. My Uncle was a commercial farmer, he only used JD, and that's what he recommended when I was shopping for a small tractor. I went to a JD dealer in Central, OR and I had every intention on buying a JD tractor. Except we couldn't get anyone at the dealership to help us. We left and I bought a Mahindra, that day. I wish the 1526 had better hydraulic system. This tractor is very similar in foot print with much higher hydraulic specs. I don't need the enclosure. Thanks for the information.
"This is a robust looking back end".. Yeah, I've thought that a few times..
Love my RX6620 cab❤
Got 9 hours on my 4020 other then a valve issue its been good
I have a 2020 ck2610 hst and ive got over 200hrs on it.. the absolute best thing I have bought
I have the RX7320 with cab and loader and I love it. 250h so far.
I have armrests on my kioti ck4010se cab model. I always leave them up, especially on the right side, with them down it's harder to reach the rear remote controls
I would get the sun view window in the cab ! I have it and love it for all types of overhead work!😢
I have a RX 7320 and it is a great tractor and I have a awesome dealer.
All kioti models are sold with a 3rd function and 4in1 buckets in Australia. Love my RX7030
high door handle will help stiffen the door to help the seal across the top of the door and upper most corner
I wanted a 3R but the price was just out of reach. Our local Kioti dealer doesn’t seem very devoted to the brand or reaching the non commercial homeowner/homesteader. The more affordable options for us came down to New Holland or Branson (now TYM). I wound up going with a TYM 4820 with a cab and I’d honestly put it right there with Kioti. The dealer density is the one place that I’d give the nod to the Kioti but if many of their dealers are under-committed to the brand like ours then that dealer density may be somewhat overstated. TYM tractors with the TYM diesel (formerly Kukje) is also all mechanical injection so no ECU to deal with. I’m 6’5” and have quite a bit of room to spare in my 4820 cab. I’d bet it would be good to 6’8” or so.
Need to give a tour of the small kioti
Definitely will!
Around my neck of the woods all these compact tractors sell within a few thousand dollars of each other so it all comes down to product support at the end of the day.
You didn't say anything on the NO Skid Steer bucket attachment, Nice unit.
I have bought and owned several kioti tractors. I have owned many different brands over the years. Saying that, Kioti tractors are second to NONE!!!
Ive been waiting for this moment for yrs hah...kioti can run with the best
Hi. Thanks for the content. I love watching your videos. Would you consider offering mini loaders? I'm saving to get a Bobcat L28. I was thinking a subcompact tractor first, but the mini loader is much more flexible for my needs. Small lot maintenance, repair, renovate, & sidewalk snow removal. Thank you.
No plans right now, but never know what the future holds.
I was looking at a Kioti a few years back and liked them but definitely didn't like walking around the dealership and seeing a makeshift carport for their warranty and repair work. I noticed that other than Deere, Kubota and even the Mahindra dealer most other dealers were kind of rinky dink places where they sold other things primarily (trailers, other equipment, feed store supplies) and sold tractors on the side plus seeing these same type places open and close in a matter of years or switch tractors brands they sold in that same amount of time but that was just was the situation in my area hopefully its better elsewhere.
Actually I would say the Kioti DK series matches more so with the John Deere 4 Series and Kubota MX5400/MX6000 series. The DK10 series is meant to be an economy type tractor whereas the DK10SE series is offered in Hyrdostat trans. but the SE has more features. With the loader lift being over 2400 lbs, the rear lift is over 2700 lbs, and the weight with a loader make it well over 5000 lbs. That surpasses the JD 4 Series by a lot with it being able to handle more. The JD and kubota might weigh a little more but they're all within the same range of tractor size. Overall the Kioti is much more capable with a far better price point than the JD 4 Series and the Kubota MX series. My brother has a DK5010 shuttle shift and he loves it. He has the rear tires loaded and a 3rd function, and it weighs over 5700lbs. Kioti has come a long way, they're giving JD & Kubota a run for the money!
I would much rather use the radio provision to nut in a mobile GMRS radio or similar so that the family can communicate with me while I’m out farting around with the tractor! Plus it’s a nice safety thing to be able to communicate with people outside of the cab in tight spaces or spotting conditions.
Hey Courtney, long time fan and I enjoy your videos, but I've got to argue that the DK series is the equivalent of the 4 series Deere, and the CK the 3 series.
Also, I opted to go without arm rests on my CK2610 because I never used the ones on my 1025R; wow, do I regret it. The seating position is different enough between the two machines that I now wish I had the arm rests, lol.
I’m curious what you think of the LS tractors I don’t have a kioti dealer here however I have been looking at the LS version of this basically the MT3 57 so a 57hp also and it comes with 2 rear remotes.
Love my CX2510!
Kioti ,as time passes will start to take market share from Deere, Kubota. Much better pricing, get more for less.
I think you’re right!
Great turning radius for ck and dk series.
Maybe, but I wouldn't bet the farm on it
Tym is up there also
It is not good for deere or kubota as pennies get tight. The others are going to take customers away.
I am on my second Kioti I ordered this one with radio delete I want to hear whats going on outside the machine while working it.
Nice review. Looks like a nice machine but I"ll stay with my Kubotas for now :). Not a cab guy either. Had an M7040 with a cab and it was more of an inconvenience than a comfort. So, to your question about a radio; no way. I prefer to hear what my machine and the implement is doing. If I were a professional farmer or heavy equipment operator who spends nearly all day every day on a machine I would definitely appreciate the benefits of a cab and a radio but not a fan being a non-professional. Thanks.
If there had been a closer dealer to me there is a good chance I could have ended up with a Kioti over my Kubota. Both great machines.
I think the “SE” models are more loaded with arm rests and what not. I could be wrong but when I bought my ck4010SE, that was the sales pitch. “1st world problems” hard life 😂 great video!
This is an SE model
@@GoodWorksTractors whoops guess they don’t all come with them! They definitely should have armrests
Love my bobcat. The grey remote should detent.
Surprised the arm rests arent standard. I dont recall being an option, but perhaps my dealer just adds it standard. I know they upgrade all of the buckets to 66" instead of 60" because its only $40 more at the time of order. I assume the arm rests are a similar deal. I'm glad i got them but it's love/ hate... they get in the way in the smaller cab of my ck2610 when shifting or using the 3 point control.
Finally some Kioti love! 😂 Do you plan to review that CX2510? I have the open station version and I’m curious how it compares to the Summit.
Yes sir!
Gem😮
The only real complaint I have with my DK5310 with the cab is the there is no grab handle on the right (control) side and its a bear to get in or out on that side, especially for a 6'4" 325# guy. I put a bluetooth radio in and I wasn't satisfied with the speakers and I just use my ear buds when I know the kids are in the house away from me. I do use the radio if munchkins are running around.
I bet it's a bear without those steps! Growing up I was taught to always mount a tractor from the left; I was never given a specific reason, but it sure stuck. Looking back I'm thinking maybe because there has never been any consistency on right-side entry. 🤣
Kioti tractors are fantastic
you need to talk about ground clearance and the way the steering arm are out of the way so they dont get bent
These were my observations walking around the machine. Yours will likely be unique to you. Thanks for watching.
I bought a fully loaded Kioti NX for half the price of an equivalent Kubota. The value is amazing.
How long have you had it, and how much HP does it have? I’ve been considering one myself because the price of the other brands. I plan to use it for haying about 300 acres, so I’d like to have a PTO with around 90hp.
Install a cb in that radio slot
Does it have self leveling bucket?
The figures are impressive. I however think the reason others are lower with the specs is because with a tractor that physical size it would be really easy for someone to get into trouble.
Haha, could be some truth to it. However, the cynic in me assumes you work in marketing for John Deere :) Thanks for watching!
@@GoodWorksTractors haha no just a John Deere fan because I have had really good luck with them.
@@brianbarclay4316I'm positive JD doesn't use lower specs for "safety".
@@lwwarren ok why do they then?
@@lwwarren hahahaha..
I still think the best bang for your buck is the kioti RX7320 check it out!
Too funny! “This doesn’t have a third function, but it’s got the provision; like right where you would mount it.” It has two holes drilled on the loader cross-member. That’s the provision??? That’s like me building a home for one of my customers and saying, “No ma’am. We don’t put windows in your new home when we build it. However, we do make provision holes in the outside walls for those windows.” Maybe I’m wrong, but after watching several videos it seems that Good Works Tractors would try to sell ice to Inuit people. It also seems that the best tractor is the one he’s selling. And he is always selling. “Always Be Closing!” Does this shoot a hole in the “five reasons John Deere are better…?” Now will it be 24 reasons to buy Kioti in 2024? I have a similar tractor, open station. I have a few family members who also run similar Kioti tractors. You say, “I have found the loader controls to be very smooth.” I do not find the hydraulic controls smooth compared to other makes I have owned or used. I do however find them incredibly “responsive.” In fact, I would actually call them “touchy.” And it may take a new operator a bit of time to get used to how quickly these controls respond, especially if you are using pallet forks and trying for delicate precision. Anyway. It is a beautiful tractor, and you say you are going to keep it; yet you are doing a great job trying to close the deal now. :) “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.” (Ephesians 2:10 KJV) Amen! I’m very curious if this Bible passage is what you are referencing in the name of your business? After all, “Jesus answered them, ‘Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me’?” (John 10:32 KJV) just doesn’t seem like a verse a retail sales business would base its sales strategies on.
Maybe I missed it, but do any of the Kioti tractors have auto throttle? And I agree, headphones are better than a radio… if you have then with you!
Not sure, I don’t think I’ve seen that feature yet, but could just be forgetting.
They have a linked pedal function that ties the throttle to the pedal angle which I use exclusively unless I'm running the PTO.
Linked throttle an cruise control
The dreaded treadle pedal.
Yeah on the Kubota.
I currently have a Kubota LX3310 and I put it on the market for sale and I’m upgrading to the CK3520se cab. The features you get for the price are crazy. It actually makes my LX seem generic. That’s not the main reason. A heavier tractor, better loader with better lift capacity. I do driveway work and the extra weight to pull a box blade up hills and loader will help day and night. Did I mention a cab as well? Lol. Same financing and warranty as Kubota. Plus the tractor with the tires loaded, the loader and a cab is less than the package I paid for my open station LX. Excited to give Kioti a try!
What about Branson , they seem to be even beefier and lift more and not require DEF
Ask and thou shall receive, sometimes...
Thats the thing about them in cabin door handles is while your operating the machine they are basically out of view and out of the way of what your looking at
Beside the two negatives, do the filters cross over to other brands when the dealer is closed?
Buy ahead of time and keep one on the shelf.
@@GoodWorksTractors I try to keep a spare set on hand for my DK5310SE -- but the hydraulic filter is about a hundred bucks! Painful to tie up a c-note on one filter... Take care and God Bless.
Nice tractor.... where is the nearest dealer at?
I'm sure they've got a dealer locator on their site. My Kioti dealer is 15 minutes away.
@@GoodWorksTractors Very Good.. people need to know this, no one needs to travel hours to get parts and service....
Who makes the engine? Will it take a backhoe with the cab on it?
Daedong makes the engine (Daedong=Kioti) and yes you can have a backhoe on it.
Just curious Courtney what's the reason you don't talk about TYM much? I was between this Kioti and my 574HST I ended up with and they're a terrific brand. Just curious why you don't have interest in them? They've also been around forever and make many models for everyone.
TYM? Maybe someday, but the used/resale market is way too small still. Not enough market share yet.
@@GoodWorksTractors Yes TYM my auto correct decided I spelled it wrong. What makes Kioti have more market? Through the state of Iowa which is a pretty large tractor use state there's like 7-8 dealers. I'd argue to say they have even more included features for the price.
Nobody sells a TYM after they own one 😎😎
Those rear Tires are smaller than Mine. I can just barely get My hand in between the Tire & fender.
Sorry this comment is misplaced in relation to the video. I want to buy a landscape rake, from you would be good. Had some trouble with the website so trying this contact. I have JD3025E. You have one in stock less than $800?
We do have them in stock, but more than that price. What issue were you having with the site?
@@GoodWorksTractors thanks for the reply, really like watching your videos. For the website, when I would begin filtering, formatting would be unusual and causing me to get locked into no way to return or proceed. Would also seem to freeze, so I would return / reopen. Sometimes I got to point I could see rakes, but then when clicking for options, would freeze.
Looks like an LE but not quite as tricked out.
How much is that tractor?
