- 20th Anniversary Edition KIOTI CK35 Synchro Shuttle | KL130P FEL | KB2475 BH
I am looking at either getting the CK20 or CK35 (free loader makes it possible) and for the life of me I cannot seem to reason which way to go with it only being a $900 difference. Before you say "Hydro at that cost" I am trying to get what is right for what I will be doing.
So what I (and I am sure many others) could really use is a list (if one exists or if we can create one) of which transmission is best for each implement or attachment.
I have heard about FEL is better worked with Hydro and if performing more BH work that I would want gears. So what about the others? Mowing (rear/belly), tiller, brush hog, front plow, back plow, box plow, post hole digger, rakes, and any others?
Anyone think they know them all? I would love to hear what everyone thinks as it would help, us that need, to make the decision a little easier.
I am starting with FEL, BH, possibly a mower, plows, and a tiller as well. I expect a normal year to have BH work, FEL projects and toping it off with plowing snow, tiller work, and Mowing. However a list would allow me and others to go with which ever I would use most. I know this will change with more projects that I will get into as I time goes by, however I feel that it will still help to know before the purchase.
If there are differences on the CK20 and CK35 in regards to Gear vs Hydro, please let me know. I tried to find this out, however have not been successful. For example I know the CK20's PTO is live with Hydro when the clutch is pushed, however with gears it stops when the clutch is pushed in. Is this the same on the CK35? And which attachment/impliments would bennifit from having the PTO live?
Thanks for any assistance and sorry for all the questions. I am learning and can't say enough good things about everyone here at TBN, you are the ones making my purchase decisions much easier.
