My local Kioti dealer here in central NH is quoting $13,700 for a CK20HST with FEL and $14,750 for an LK3054 also with FEL. How do these prices stack up?
He wasn't very keen on the CK20. He says he feels they are underpowered because they bog down when you accelerate sharply in hi range, even with the throttle on full. What do you think?
I drove both and moved some gravel around with the FELs. The CK20HST was definitely easier to control, but the LK3054 clearly had more power. The 30 horse machine is probably more than I need, but with only $1k difference, it sure is tempting to go with the larger machine. Who knows, my "needs" may increase as time goes on. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
