I got My CK20S in February with a loader (FEL)mand backhoe and rear snow blower. I put 50 hours on the Kioti blowing snow and moving snow piles with the FEL. I put another 50 hours digging stumps with the backhoe as I continue to build a road around my property. The dealer was good enough to deliver it in a snowstorm from 200 miles away. I just did my 100 hour service changing oil and cleaning air cleaner among other things. The tractor has been nothing short of phonominal. You will love yours and will not regret your decision to purchase this solid little workhorse of a tractor.

Cold starts have not been an issue for me but I keep it in a garage heated no lower than 38* (and no higher either). If I ever keep it any colder knowing the cold tempered nature of any diesel, I will simply slip my magnetic oil pan heater on ahead of time if need be.
