Price Check What's a reasonable price for a ck20hst or ck30hst?

Vince - what dealer did you buy from?

I don't mind using a non-local dealer but I would prefer to use an out of state dealer to avoid paying sales tax if I have to travel.

The CK20 sounds good for your jobs. Good luck at GH Farms. Just be careful and read his fine print. That McKean Kubota dealer usually has some fair prices. Maybe the economy has caught up with him and he can't discount much or Kubota is just high. The Bobcat dealer was high with anything I ever asked about and I wasn't just looking, I was wanting to buy. As mentioned, check around. If you check for dealers through Kioti's web site, there was one in NewYork and one in Ohio. About an hour away but I have no info on their reputation.
I'm just North of you on 832 about a mile from 90. Many here love their CK20 and what it can do for the size. Happy shopping.

I just got back from the Bobcat dealer and I don't think I will be buying one of those! The salesman was nice and informative but their product is just not competitive compared to the Kioti even though it is 99.9% the same tractor.

I got the following quotes:

1.) ct122 with loader and 54" MM mower for $14500!
2.) ct122 with FEL and 60" rear finish mower (in lieu of mm mower) for $13900
3.) $5750 for backhoe (plus installation - which I would do myself)

Bobcat is having a $1000 off incentive right now and these quotes include that. I didn't haggle at all with him so I'm sure the prices could come down a little. He knew about the Kioti free FEL deal and said he could call Bobcat to see what he could do if I came back with a better price with the Kioti.

Other things I learned:

1.) Bobcat's do not come standard with mm PTO or additional hydraulic vavles. There is a $1400 option to get a loader valve, mm PTO, and rear hydraulics.
2.) Bobcat warranty is only 3 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As an FYI - there is a dealer in OH that is advertising ck20hst's with the FEL for $11,400

I'm going to PM Wallace to see what his price is and maybe I'll take a road trip.

I bought from Roman Engine in New Middletown, Ohio.
His website has been down for a long time now and he is no longer listed as a dealer on the Kioti website, so I don't think he is in business anymore.
