    Need some help here I’m stumped. I have a 2012 bobcat CT 225 with 677 hours. pretty much the same thing as a kioti CK 27. My RPM gauge and hour meter randomly turns on and off. I think it might also be turning off my fuel and temperature gauge as well but not positive about that. It will be...

    Ck 27 vrs Ck 30 hp

    Hello all, I was just thinking how I found it a little odd that kioti offered two motors with such close horsepower. Actually three if you consider the motors in the bobcat lineup as well. They are rated at 27,28 and 30. I don't think there's any physical difference between the CK 27 to the...

    Pushing th limits

    Helped the neighbor move a telescoping radio tower tonight. Weighed in at 1800 #s. The forks would not lift it. Not even with roll back force. Used a strap around fork frame and was able to just barely lift it. Tractor felt stable enough so kept it low and slow. I was kinda surprised I...

    Never did fill the back tires on the CT 225. Just broke 100 hours. At about 10 hours had decided the beat juice was the thing to use after tons of research. But I have a Cab on which weighs about 400 pounds and as long as I have something somewhat heavy on the rear have not had much problem...
