Kioti? In terms of cost efficiency, better than John Deere, Mahindra, and Kubota. Personally I stay away from Deere as the block on mine completely split while I was sitting on it and threw me 5-8 feet in the air. Took almost 5 months to get it fixed while it was under warranty and sold it right after.

Mahindra have heard good things about but they did not offer the accessories I needed at the time so didn't go that way.

I purchased a Kubota and mainly bc I can change accessories with ease by myself, my model fits perfectly on 20' trailer and customer service and warranty work has been superb in the 5 years since purchase. A little more expensive for same size models as Kioti but well worth the feeling of no stress if I need repairs done and also much cheaper than a Deere.

Edit: I do have a Deere riding mower (my 3rd) and have never had an issue in 12 years other than blade and belt replacement. It was 14k, 12 years ago so I assume the prices are absolutely ridiculous now on everything they offer.

I bought a John Deere 5 years ago and it has been amazing. I have not had any problems with it. The reason I got it is because all the attachments go on and off very quickly. I got the 2038r with a 72 inch mid Mount mower, front end loader, backhoe, and a bunch of other implements. Everything is quick attach and quick detach. Also, it was built in America by Americans. If you compare the two side by side you will see there is no comparison.

How dare you assume I am a farmer!

Do you mean Kioti?
