A highlighted cell wins its row on the rule named above the table: more power, lift, capacity or flow, or a lower price. A lift row is left unwon whenever the two makers measured in different places, or where either of them did not say — a figure quoted at the pivot pin and one quoted 500 mm ahead of it describe the same loader and differ by roughly a third, so ranking them against each other would invent a result. Prices are typical list and move with dealer packages.
From owner discussion and long-term write-ups
What owners of each one say
Kioti DK5020
What they like
- 41.5 PTO hp is 83 percent of gross, a far better conversion than the hydrostatic DK models manage, and it is what a nine-foot mower or a baler actually sees
- $32,871 undercuts the 44.9 hp hydrostatic DK4720 by $1,344 while adding 5.4 engine hp
- 2,716 lb at the 3-point with 16.5 gpm behind it handles heavy rear implements
- Synchro shuttle changes direction without stopping, which is what field work wants and where an HST loses efficiency
- 72 months of powertrain coverage with no hour limit
What they complain about
- A shuttle means a clutch pedal on every direction change, so long loader sessions are more work than on the hydrostatic DK4720
- Kioti's page lists ranges rather than a clear total gear count, so the number of forward and reverse speeds is not plainly published
- 3,373 lb is 150 lb lighter than the DK4220 and DK4720, so it needs rear ballast sooner with a full bucket
- No cab on this trim - the cab lives on the SEH models
- 11.9 gal is a small tank for a 50 hp tractor working all day
- The 2,716 lb hitch rating comes with no measuring point stated
Kioti NX5010
What they like
- 41.8 PTO hp is 84 percent of gross and the point where the NX frame's 3,177 lb hitch stops being more capacity than the engine can use
- $2,513 over the NX4510 buys 5 engine hp and 4.2 PTO hp with nothing else changed on the machine
- KL6010 loader at 2,761 lb at the pivot pin and 108.3 in of height, the most of any Kioti under 60 hp
- 14.8 gal of fuel with 16.5 gpm of flow makes a full day of mixed loader and implement work realistic
- 72-month powertrain term with no hour cap, plus 24 months bumper-to-bumper covering parts and labor
What they complain about
- $34,050 is within $2,000 of Kioti's own 55 hp NX5510, which makes the middle model a hard sell against the top of its own series
- Shuttle base means a clutch pedal on every direction change; the hydrostatic is $1,578 more
- 3,978 lb is 231 lb lighter than the NX5510, so it needs ballast sooner under a loaded bucket
- The 3,177 lb hitch figure has no published measuring point
- Aftertreatment on the 3F183T engine is not named anywhere in the NX range
