ck27...

[vtcoyote]

... just curious about this new model KIOTI - run ahead of the pack!
has anybody heard anything about it?
why would the 5 horsepower void between the 25 and 30 need to be filled and are there any exciting new features?

[jimmyj]

Bizarre to have a 27hp. Never heard of it before.

I will stop by the dealer on my way home and ask about it. There has to be some point for 3 tractors in the CK line in a 5hp range

[wallace]

I just put one on my lot..
It is the same tractor as the 25 30 and 35 just a 27 hp..
The 25 will be phased out and replaced by the new 27 which is a teir 3 emission compliance engine..
So if your looking to buy GO to your Kioti dealer and snatch up the CK25 tractors before they are all gone because the new 27 comes with a heafty price increase.

I wonder if they call it a 27 because that extra hp goes to emissions control.

You never really know what the HP rating is When I bought my 3054, it was advertised in the brouchers, and by the dealers as a 30HP tractor. When I got it home,the data plate on the rocker box stated it was rated at 28 gross HP. My inquiries to Kioti resulted in a letter stating the manufacturer reserved the right to change spec's without notice. You can't change what never was;Daedong rates the T1400-B1 as a 28 gross HP motor:Kioti advertised it as a 30 gross HP motor To say I was dissappointed would be an understatement The tractor performs well and I guess I shouldn't be all that upset,BUT I thought I was buying a 30 and got a 28

Hi,
We have one each Shuttle and Hst on the lot. There was a lot of hype about the 25 being a little underpowered, maybe Kioti was listening?
My thoughts are that they will eventually settle on a CK27 and a CK35 and have the six horsepower spacing in that model. The 25 is eliminated from the line-up, maybe the 30 is bext? Just thinking out loud...
Anyway, If anyone in the area want to try the new CK27 you are welcome to stop in and run it around the yard.

interesting, so is this going to burn less fuel and have better emissions?

seeing how kioti is re-tooling the ck series line up, have any dk series features been expected to be incorporated in the near future (electric 4wd & pto engage, etc.) that i might have to take a look at.

That was exactly my thought when I heard about the 27. Too close to the 30 for both to be in the line up.

Just curious, but what does it mean " emission compliance"? Does it have a "soot" collector with re-generation like on road vehicles? Will you be required to run ULSD fuel? along with the expensive LS engine oil? And will these engines be required to pass an emission test every couple years or so?
