A qustion for CK20 owners

[kcook]

Im in the market (if the boss approves) and I like the CK20s. Do you find with its weight vs HP is it enough tractor for the tasks you do?

The boss has said once we buy that is it. So I want to make the best choice possible. I have looked at Green, orange, blue and now yellow.

Green is to high priced in my area. Kubota is high as well. Yellow is price great for a large 32hp tractor but the Kioti is really priced right with lots of loader for the loader power in its price range.

For now the tractor will be used for road maintence, snow removal, and landscaping. Down the road it will be used for mowing as well (3 + ackers).

Looking at Tractor, loader and rear blade to start.

Thanks for any help!!!!!

I have yet to find a task I couldn't do with enough time. Granted a larger tractor would be faster but I can haul my CK20 with a 14ft trailer and 1/2 ton truck, ride over grass without marking it (tires loaded too!), drive up a hill in High range and plenty of other task.

With the updated loader, curved boom backhoe and larger hp engine, I bet the newer CK20S will do what I have done and more...

I was convinced that the CK20 was too small in retrospect of its size vs HP but after these posts I have changed my mind. I have wanted to buy one for a long time because I don't really want a great big tractor. You guys have convinced me.

Thanks.

Not for nothing, but do the other manufacturers have a 4 year warranty. I don't hear a whole lot about that in these "which tractor do I pick posts" but would think that a major factor.

Plus, Kioti's warranty does not change if you use your tractor for commercial use. A lot of business owners purchase tractors under their business name and if they do with a Kubota, their warranty gets cut in half.

Here are a few more pics of what my little Kioti has done:

Is that a piece of concrete pipe? If yes how big is it?

As a fellow New-Hampshire-Ite, I couldn't help but notice the rocks that were hit during trenching, not easy stuff to dig through.

Must say though, the rocks are mighty small compared to the stuff I hit, I literally can not go down 6 inches without hitting something at least the size of a 5 gallon pail. 3 foot down and I'm talking 55 gallon drum sized rocks.

Needless to say, I always have a supply of bushings and grease at hand.

Amazing how much work a relatively small machine can do, I am always amazed by the power of hydraulics.

I've hit very little which my loader could not at least move.

Thanks for the pictures, never get tired of looking at them.
