Kioti CK35 --- Good Buy???

[lparkercnm]

I am evaluating an offer from a local dealer for a Kioti CK35 with a Kioti KL1450 FEL. Unit has 500 hours, looks to be in excellent condition, runs great.

Price is $13,000 including delivery.

Any thoughts on the quality of the tractor and/or the price?

Thanks from a first time tractor buyer.

Might that be a DK35. I don't believe you can get the KL1450 loader on a CK series.

OK price for a CK35, pretty good price for a DK35 (DK is a larger frame)
either way, they're good machines.

With a KL 1450 loader it would be a DK 35.
If in very good condition I think the price is OK.
I've owned a DK 35 for 7 or 8 years and put on 1225+ hours. It has been a very good, solid/reliable machine for me.

With that loader, the DK35 would be the older series machine. Very fine tractor but not to be confused with the DK35se line that is the current model. Price looks good for the older new DK35 with loader.

You were all correct. I finally got out to see and drive it and it is a DK35 (2003) with the KL1450 FEL. It is in excellent condition with 500 miles. Includes: front grate, 2 rear hydraulics, sun canopy, chains and a scrapper blade. I couldn't pass it up.

Thanks to everyone who responded.

As I understand it Kioti is still giving away free loaders. I haven't heard that Bobcat has similar deals. I haven't priced the Bobcat Kioti's myself but haven't seen any examples posted yet of Bobcat dealers undercutting Kioti dealers. As for product support, that will always be dealer dependent so individual Bobcat and Kioti dealers could be better or worse.
