    PTO driven WOOD CHIPPERS

    Count me as another satisfied bx42 owner. I don't have the hydro feeder and it has clogged up once or twice but as someone said earlier - remove a single bolt and the top flips over. Rotating chute is a big plus as I tend to aim to keep chips out of the way. When the pile gets too high, I...

    Chipper  Looking for a chipper for a Kioti ck27

    I've got a ck27hst (I think 20.5 pto hp) that I'd like to get a chipper for. Lots of small trees, scrub to clear but not many good burn weekends. It seems like a Wallenstein bx42 is my best bet. I'd like to chip up to 6" but don't think I have the power for it is why I'm looking at the 42...

    CK27hst & QA bale spear

    I've got a ck27 with a QA bucket and will need to get 6-8 round bales of hay. If I got a QA spear would I be able to take 800ish pound bales off a trailer? I don't need to stack or unstack them. The tractor's rear tires are loaded and I have a 5' United boxblade I can put on the 3 point...

    New CK27 HST

    After a very long time I finally have a tractor to help clear some land! Thanks everyone on answering all my questions over the past year. Especially thanks to Chip at ARTRAC. He delivered it early this week. I took a few days vacation to begin learning how to operate it. I got a new CK27...

    LS equivalent to Kioti ck27?

    Hi everyone, going by thread activity LS seems to be picking up steam lately. Looking at tractor specs, they seem pretty solid. Can anyone tell me what the LS equivalent to a kioti ck27 hst is? Does anyone have any seat time comparisons - pros/cons? I'm researching tractors and the ck27...

    Tires  Punctures with filled R4's?

    For anyone that has filled R4 tires and spend/spent a lot of time clearing land - did you ever puncture a tire? I really like the idea of added weight by filling tires, but am concerned about punctures and potential mess. What do you think?

    Hydraulic Top link or Top and Tilt both?

    For those that have hydraulic links on smaller size tractors (ck20s, ct122, etc), do you use the hydraulic tilt much? I'm checking options and want a hydraulic top link at least. I need to cut atv and walking paths with a box blade. Is hydraulic tilt very handy on uneven ground? If so, where...

    Hydraulic top link or top and tilt?

    For those that have hydraulic links on ck20 / ck27 size tractors, is the hydraulic tilt used much? I'm checking options and do want a hydraulic top link at least. I need to cut atv and walking paths with a box blade. Would hydraulic tilt be very handy on uneven ground? If so, where would...

    Is a backhoe on a CT122 worth the price?

    For those that have a CT122 and backoe, do you feel you've gotten your money's worth from it? It looks like it will add $6k or more to the price. I'm just curious as I hope to purchase something this year. (I'll add a similar post in the Kioti forum to get ck20s owner responses) thanks

    Differences between 15 series and 16 series

    Could someone tell me what the differences are between Mahindra's 15 series and 16 series? I must not have looked close enough. Specifically the 2516hst and the 2615hst. Thanks

    i3030H, Bobcat CT225, or Kioti CK27HST?

    Hi everyone - I've been reading the LS posts and trying to compare the LS i3030H with the CT225 and CK27HST. I have inherited about 13 acres that is mostly a single hill. Before anything else can be done, I have to clear a lot of brush and downed limbs - the property has 20+ years of untended...

    Stability of CK20S versus CK27

    Hi everyone - is there much difference in stability between the Ck20s and the ck27? I hope to buy one of them this winter. I have several acres (mostly a single hill) that I will be clearing brush from. I think the 20 should do what I need but see a lot of threads saying go 1 size larger...

    Buying Advice  CK20S HST, 216HST, or something else?
