Kioti CK25 HST TLB

Hello,
I've been lurking on TBN since 2006 and this I think, is my first post. I have been a proud and happy Kioti owner since November 2006 but now it's time to trade in. I have a 2006 Kioti CK25 Hydrostat with KL130 Loader and KB2365 backhoe with 490hrs on it. It has been kept in a heated garage and has very good paint, the backhoe is a little sun faded because she won't fit in the garage.

I would like to trade in for a new Kioiti CS2410 with loader and mower deck. My question is would this be near an even trade for the CK25? How much if any to boot do you think I may have to come up with.
Any dealers out there please chime in for sure.

Thanks TBNers

you might be better keeping your 25ck id just to the hoe off to use it to mower with

The 25 is just too heavy of a machine for mowing the lawn in spring or after summer rains. All my hard work is done with the CK now it's just mowing and tilling the gardens.

Have you thought about keeping your CK25? A CS2410 would make a nice second tractor but I don't know if you will be happy having 1 tractor that small after having a larger tractor.

I know you are hoping that this becomes a $0 deal, but, I'd have to agree with the others....consider keeping what you have and just adding a nice machine to mow the lawn. ZTR, lawn tractor or whatever floats your boat. If you don't have much lawn, you won't need to spend much on a machine and the cost will probably be about the same as what you will loose in your proposed trade-in transaction. (When I say "loose" I'm referring to equity loss...not necessarily money spent)
