I bought a Branson (built in Korea) in 2004. Been a great machine. It looks like it was built on an old John Deere platform that Deere quit building years before. Gear driven, as they did not offer hydrostatics at that time. Has a step through platform, 12 speeds forward and 12 in reverse with a shuttle shift, live two speed PTO and live hydraulics, locking diff,and additional hydraulics on the rear for whatever attachments you want to run, and front wheel assist. All of the body is steel and starts in the cold great without being plugged in.
I looked at Kioti and didn't like them. Entire body was plastic. One good winter bashing around in the snow and I was thinking it would all be gone by spring. They were also having huge warranty issues at the time. Engines and gear boxes leaking that could not be sealed up, and hydraulics that leaked and were not smooth. Guys had loaders and three points that would not stay up while traveling. I saw one tore down and the gear boxes were full of sand. Thing only had 10 hours on it. Seems the cases were not getting cleaned out well after casting and before assembly. Dealers wouldn't take one on trade at any price.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
