Hello Everyone. My CK20s sat for a while this winter (no snow) and didn't get it's needed exercise (my bad). It now doesn't start and I've tracked it down to the solenoid on the fuel injector not working. (No fuel at injector nozzles but at injector bolt; no click from solenoid, but power to...

Hi All, I have a 2007 CK20s that runs just fine for my summer tasks. However, when I used it to plow the 2.5' of snow we got yesterday off a 600' drive, the engine loses a lot of power 20 or so minutes into the job. It goes from about 2300 rpm to 1000 rpm and then fluctuates all over the...

Hi All, My '07 CK20s has a fuel solenoid that's acting up and is mostly stuck in the "off" position. I've removed it and was able to unstick it for a bit, but it's basically shot. It'll take a few days to get the part and we're due for another 8-12" of snow so I'm thinking of the following...

Hi, so I've put about 20 hours on a 2007 ck20s that I bought used with about 440 hours earlier this spring. This has happened twice: the tractor just dies as if it were shutoff by ignition key after about 15-20 minutes of use. When cranked, it then starts right up again and continues to work...

Had my ck20s hst TLB a few weeks now (bought used) and it's been great. The only thing I've found wrong with is that the lever for the hydraulics to the BH won't stay in the "on" position so I use a bungee cord to hold it there. How hard is this to fix? Or is the bungee the correct fix? :)

Ok, I know this question has been beaten to death on the forums, but from all I've read I've been unable to figure out whether to run on "off-road" diesel or "road" diesel with my '07 ck20s, with the "off-road" being 40c cheaper locally. My manual gives very detailed parameters on the diesel...

Kioti's site says lift capacity of CK20/CK20s with KL120 loader is around 1100 lbs (approx) at the pins. However, my manual says it's 660lbs (link below). I guess the manual number takes the weight of the bucket into account, but that seems like a very heavy bucket (50", 440lbs??). Anyone...

As a new owner of a Kioti (and my first tractor), I'm reading the owner's manual cover to cover (it's raining here). Kioti tells me to never get off the tractor while it is running. But then how am I supposed to get into the BH seat? Also, if I'm letting it warm up for the suggested 20+...

Well folks, I finally did it and bought a used CK20S HST with KB2465 backhoe! 440 hours. Pic attached. It's really due to this forum that I learned about Kioti in the first place. Also, due to TBN I am confident that I can find the information I need to address any problems that might arise...

Hello everyone, I'm soon to be an owner of KB2465 backhoe and am looking for documentation on it. (I've ordered the manual from M.I.E. but its backordered and won't be here for another week or so.) I did find a manual for the KB2365 online...

Hi All, Looking to buy my first tractor, possibly a used CK20 gear. My questions are (1) how does shifting work on this model? and (2) is a gear CK20 appropriate for my work and tractor experience (none)? I read on tractor data that 1st gear is synchronized between forward and reverse. What...

Hello All, I'm going to take a look at a 2003 CK20 with low hours (<200) and a seemingly fair price. Here are the potential problems with such a tractor that I've learned about, mostly from these forums: old style loaders can have cracks. This one most certainly has the old loader, but I...

Hello All, Unlike autos, I believe tractors are generally not registered with one's state/DMV, but please correct me if I'm wrong -- newbie buyer here. My question is how can I tell if a (newer) used tractor has no lien on it due to it having been financed? The worry being that the lien...

Hi All, I think I've narrowed my tractor choice down to a CK20s or a CK27. Here's my situation: small 6ac farm, primarily pasture, almost completely flat; about 1/2ac is vegetable garden & chickens; mowing around farm house is minimal and can be handled by my JD lowes-special lawn tractor...

Looking to buy a used CK25/27 (and maybe CK20). In researching I once again compared to Kubota B2320, B2620, B7800 since these seem to come up used much more in my area. Am I reading it right that those CKs are almost 2X the weight of the seemingly comparable Kubotas? I understand that...

Hello everyone, first post here and hopefully first tractor soon. Looked at Kubota's for a long time, but find that I prefer the Kioti's. Looking to get a used CK20/25/27-ish machine with FEL, with several used machines already located. Now, I'd like to do most of the maintenance and repairs...
