Any thoughts on model specs for a winch to attach to the front of a CK20? Just starting to look and want opinions...If you have a pic, that would be great.

Just got back from some relaxation time in Florida...interesting to see the Florida Highway Department using Kioti tractors to bush hog the highways. First time I've seen them used in a municipal capacity. As a side note...I was all set up with a great view (about 8 miles across the water in...

I know the topic of towing is tired and I've gone back and searched old posts, but I haven't found answers and I am preparing to purchase a vehicle to tow my CK20, FEL, and RFM. I have totaled the weight from Kioti website and believe my tractor with those implements to be about 3100 pounds...

I was using my Kioti 60" RFM last night and heard one of those "noises" that indicates trouble. I immediately stopped and looked at my mower. The outside blade nearest what would be considered the drivers side was not turning....As I looked at it, I was able to spin the one blade w/out...

Fellas: Need some help here...What is the minimum size trailer I need to haul my CK20 and a 4 foot bushhog (and loader)? Also...got the bad news today that the dealership I purchased from last July (about 45 minutes away) is going out of business....Outdoor Power Store in Indiana. It was a...

Is it normal to lose a lot of power when executing a sharp turn....it seems like when the power steering pump really cranks (on a very tight turn) it saps a lot of power from not only the wheels, but the PTO as well. Any thoughts? ChasK

Two issues with my RFM (CK20)...As I'm new to tractoring there is prob. an easy solution to my problem, but I can't figure it out. I'm going to try to describe this, but I may need to take some pics to illustrate. I have two "arms" coming off of my 3ph...one is a stationary arm, the other can...

Pics from my new (although, I've already put 15 hours on it in two weeks!) CK20, FEL, 60" RFM, and Grater Box. It is a tough little tractor that will do everything I need out of it. A couple issues I've had I will post on later because I'm going to need some help and advice. ChasK

I took delivery today of my new CK20 w/ 60" RFM. I dealt with Out Door Power Store (outdoorpowerstore.com) in Greenfield, IN and Jeremy there took great care of me. I got about 1.75 hours seat time today and had a blast until the skies opened up on me. I am supposed to get my FEL and Box...

I\'m in... This evening I bought a CK20 (manual), with a K120 FEL, a grater box, and a 60" rear finish mower. I am very happy with my purchase and hope to take delivery next weekend (heading to Vegas this weekend!). I think I got a pretty good deal on this package, $12,000. I hadn't planned...

I think I have my decision whittled down to two...I am seriously considering moving on the CK20 (not HST) or the LB1914. I have really been looking at a lot of posts and I hear a lot of discussion on the CK20's, but not much on the LB1914. The dealer I'm look at is really, really pushing me...

I'm a new guy in this tractor biz...I have a Jinma 2540 on backorder, but am going to cancel. I think I'm going to go with a Kioti or NH instead (knowing I'm going to spend more, upfront). My question is...What is HST and how is it different from putting a tractor in gear and just going...

What is the biggest finish mower I can use with a Jinma 254? Can I go 72", or is 60 the biggest I should try? Thanks for your thoughts on this...

I did it....I finally purchased a Jinma 254. I got, what I thought, was a good deal...I paid $5399 for it (25HP 4x4). I bought it locally at a Rural King under their TractorKing badge. I was looking at a FarmPro but liked Rural King's service department. I now have to wait for it to arrive...

I'm building on 5 acres of former farm ground. The ground is pretty smooth and no opportunity for roll over exists. I began looking at ZTR's in the 5-6 thousand dollar range. I then thought of all the things I'm going to need to do that a ZTR won't (snow, 200' gravel drive needing grated...
