Kioti CK30 Reviews

My Ideal Tractor
Model Year: 2005

I'm a 65 YO woman with more ambition than brawn. I needed a tractor/loader/backhoe to do my heavy digging and lifting. The Kioti CK 30 has been a perfect fit for my uses. The tractor and loader are over-designed and so far I haven't given them a job they couldn't handle. The Kioti backhoe has a few weak areas which required repair welding and reinforcing. I seldom use the hitch and have yet to need draft control for a tillage implement. I have added the second remote hydraulic outlet so that a post hole drill can be mounted on the dipper arm in place of the digging bucket. This works well. I have had no warranty issues and the routine maintenance is simple and the parts easy to obtain.

Pros: Engineering design is excellent. Hydraulics are just right for the size of the tractor
Cons: None so far.

I don't use my tractor very often. Mostly for yard mowing and moving a little dirt. I have a 60" finish mower, and this tractor has more than enough power to handle some very tall grass, wild rose bushes, and tree limbs. I am very pleased with this tractor and if i ever buy another one it will be a Kioti. The only problem that I have had is the gas gauge does not work.

Pros: Starts every time after sitting for weeks, good power
Cons: Gas guage, FEL control handle comes loose
