New CK on the way!

[VTland2clear]

So I signed for the financing on Friday, got approved before I even got home. Finalized the options on my CK3510 HST this morning, and should take delivery by this Friday. A big thanks to the TBN community for all the info, a month of intense reading turned me from a tractor novice, to a confident buyer.

FEL, pallet forks, Kodiak 6 foot OP scraper blade, cruise, loaded rears, free delivery, for just a little under 20k.
All the Kioti dealers in Vermont and southern NH were super helpful, and spent lots of time answering questions.
I opted to install rear remotes myself since it would have added another week to the prep time, and I need this thing ASAP. A grapple will come shortly, looking at whatever is cheapest. Pictures to come when this bad boy gets here!

Congrats on your purchase. Can't wait for some pics as I haven't stopped by the dealer to see the new CKs yet.

One quick thing to think about... Unless you have some specific need not to - ask your dealer to set the wheels out to the widest setting for stability. Lot easier for him to do it in his shop that you after delivery.

Other than that - Congratulations!! Look forward to seeing some pictures.

Did you already get a price (and part number) on the kit to add the 2 rear remotes? I've been thinking about doing our CK35.

FYI: Someone in Tamworth NH is selling Tomahawk grapples for a grand. Bout the cheapest price ive seen if you want a budget set-up.

Congrats by the way. What dealer did you end up with?

Thanks for the tips on grapples and offset. I actually made sure already that the rear wheels would be delivered with maximum offset. I may still get more offset spacers and increase it further. They quoted me at $700 for the rear remotes, installed. So I imagine the kit alone is about half that. But the kit wouldn't even get in until next week, so I opted not to wait another week or two for delivery.

I went with CCR equipment and rentals, in Essex, vt. One of the reasons they had the best price was a sales tax exempt form for the state of VT stating my agricultural uses for the tractor. Which is perfect since I have lots of gardens to manage. Pretty happy with my experiences at the Kioti dealers, all very helpful folk.

Tomahawk grapples for a grand.

I have one, and love it so far.

A 66" single-lid is about $1,000 direct (shipping additional), as well.

Congrats! I took delivery just about a month ago and have been putting it to work as much as possible.

Not sure if you need both of these or just the second one. :confused3: :ashamed: KIQ 322027 and or KIQ 322026. This will get you 2 valves, the second valve with the float function. :thumbsup:
