So with this CK20 HST, new in March of 2006, purchased from Wallace and sold to me after it was a month old via ebay the warranty ran out 7 months ago. Is it worth calling Kioti and any tips to see if they will cover the charge pump? Is my tractor the only one that went after only 650 hours...

I was rototilling with my CK20 when the tractor just stopped. I pushed the HST pedal forward, back nothing except some hi pitched whining. I checked the linkages for the forward/reverse pedal, hi/lo range and all seem okay. Any suggestions where to start with this? The tractor has 650 hours...

So I was out using my old Kubota B4200 20 HP tractor last night to spread fertilizer before the rain and it occured to how I can figure out if maybe my CK 20 is just not working right. Here is my query. The B4200 I can put in gear and all four wheels will spin breaking loose if I say, tie it...

I would like to recommend you NOT purchase a Sim Cab at Cabdepot.com. I have this cab on my 2006 CK20 and have found the quality to be poor and the customer service from Sims Cab to be even poorer. I used the tractor to mow on our hill and the first couple of months the cab was rocking back...

I was wondering if anyone else has had trouble with their Sims Cab? My issue is that it rocks. I have tightened all the way but on our steep hills, it at first had a little rock but over time, it has become really bad. Now my knuckles get cracked on the steering wheel when I hit a bump while...

I read this older post http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/kioti-owning-operating/57844-water-circulation-problem.html?highlight=heating My CK 20 has run hot before on hot days...clogged screen, reserve low and running wide open mowing with a 6 ft. finishing mower. Cleaned the screen, added to...

Steverino: Your account below is correct; however, there is a pervading attitude in business today that ignoring a problem is the best response and I am not so sure that from the business's perspective, this may not be the best response. It almost seems that giving oil to the wheel just makes it...

Here are some pictures and here are a few views. 1. I am scheduled to have my loaders repair kit installed in April. I am very tired of a few of the comments by those making a mountain out a mole hill with regard to the loader. I am confident it will all be fine and in fact, it might be fine...

The Hydraulic Cooler Unit on my Kioti CK20 started leaking. This was detected because I smelled a strange odor and stopped to investigate. I called TriCounty Supply, the Kioti Dealer in Western New York and they ordered a replacement unit under the warranty. To replace this cooler took about...

CK20 The pedal to engage both rear wheels is made for tiny little feet. My Rube Goldberg fix works to create space for my boot heel to engage the pedal without bending the dipstick.

I went out last night and played some plowing and that at around midnight. It was a least 9 below. The tractor started but sputtered, started, caught and sputtered and then started, caught and was fine. I was thinking a block heater might be a good idea to help save engine wear during cold...

We are over a foot now and more on the way. We are one hill top over from Holiday Valley Ski Resort in Ellicottville, NY. Tractor is working like a dream but I did have one of the chains come off the front and it was a significant difference.

My concerns about snow plowing have been put to rest. I have the CK20 with V-Bar chains on the front tires and Rim Guard for weight in all four industrial tires. The tractor has a heated Sims cab, scraper blade on the back and 54” bucket on the front. Our neighbor has a bigger Kubota with out...

I am seeking input. All of our tractors have had calcium or some other form of weight including homemade weights on the front end. The CK20 does not have loaded tires. I am leary of loading them because the one drawback to the CK20 is the power on steep hills. On one hand, loaded tires improves...

23x8.50x12 Purchased v-bar 2 link chains for the front tires in anticipation of winter work using (as per recommendation here) the above company. Those chains have a rockwell rating of 56, which I believe is pretty darn good. I liked the quick email by the sales dept. which wrote: What is the...
