Hello- After searching around for a small used tractor for my six acres I chose to buy new and went with Kioti. What sold me was the heavier weight, higher lifting capacity and fair pricing. Also scored the free fel with Kioti's promotion. I purchased a new ck20s, hydro with fel, and backhoe, dealer filled the rear tires, added a grille guard and two hooks on the fel. After 75 hrs of moving dirt and rocks, brush, a shed, some logs and a propane tank, digging trench for powerline, etc. I am very satisfied with the machine. This is my first tractor and I've had a great time learning as I go. As you will see, sometimes I can't get the better half of the thing! The only thing I wish my Kioti had was a mid-range so I could move a little faster on the hilly road and driveway between myself and my neighbors. I have finally got a fast internet connection and am uploading some picks of my 2008 ck20s in action.- DREW

Nice pics of your new rig working on projects. 
Those are some big logs you are moving around and you are in the house moving business.

That tractor is sure saving your spinal cord. Great purchase and pics. If you sell your land you probably wouldn't sell your tractor. Good luck with it...

Congrats and Welcome to the Pack!
That CK20 sure is tough for its size and does so much more work then you would think 22HP would.
It would be nice to have the three range transmission like the larger Kioti's but you will notice the high range is a little more useful after 100 hours or so when the tractor really breaks in. Plus I found removing the heavy backhoe makes high gear easier to run in too!

Very nice. The redesigned Kioti backhoe looks pretty beefy. And so does that dog house. Is that for you when the better is mad at you?:laughing:
Enjoy and be safe.

In my opinion just about the perfect homeowner sized machine
tough to find chores it could not handle
infind forks to be huge time savers when dealing with logs and brush
many fun safe hours of seat time to you

Congratulations on the new tractor and that it meets your expectations. But, the important thing is your wife is happy and having fun. That's what makes the difference.
