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...

I have had a pin clip (a pin with the metal circle that flips over to keep the pin in) vibrate out of the pins that hold the bucket on my ck20. We have a number of the pin clips hanging on the wall of the barn we use with the Kubotas, Ford and JD. I'll be darned if those pins on the wall are a...

Our interstate is under major repair with the one lane, 45 mph for like 18 miles. As I was driving through this area I saw that the construction crew was using a Kioti tractor for the final grading in the median area. Figure that is a strong commentary on Kioti quality. CBB

The tractor is responding admirably to the workload. I have some pictures I will add shortly of some projects. a. I am amazed at how quickly the screen becomes filled up when mowing with those little cotton like weeds. I have made a point to keep the screen clear on advice from TBN Kioti. b. I...

I mentioned I needed chains for the CK20 but the Woods BH has tight tolerances. Tire Chains For the rear tires...Industrial tread, I believe 12 x 16.5 Which code would you pick, Code 20, maybe? CBB

I put the 5' rototiller on the Kioti CK20 last night and went out to what used to be a pasture for the horses but is going to be a new planting for raspberries, now. I had previously round-uped the soil so it was a matter of tilling it. I put the tiller down, and set the throttle at 2500 rpm...

I have 49 hours on my CK 20. I LOVE the work lights. This tractor does rock! Anyone put wheel weights on a CK20? Anyone put shelfs or anything for pruners and stuff on the Sims cab, place for bug spray, place to hang ear muffs, place for the garage remote, place for the shades....in other...

I took the Woods x70 backhoe off yesterday. That sure is a heavy unit---built like a rock, just like the tractor. Put on a 5' brushhog and went to work. WOW, what an amazing piece of equipment and I don't mean the brush hog. Very please with my Kioti with 38 hours on it. PS...attached is...

When I am buying a vehicle, I got to cars.com and see which ones have the most miles. Sometimes there are vehicles with 250K still for sale and lots of them...must be a good vehicle. I also check consumer reports. It might be nice for potential buyers to see how many hours and the year and model...

Hi, I am taking the backhoe off for the first time tonight. Have read the manual and it looks pretty straightforward. Any tips though? The remotes are by the front right of the cab and hoses run to the back. CBB

The Sims cab covers up the handles on the fenders for climbing in and out. Can anyone send me some pics where they mounted handles for climbing in and out of the tractor? Also, I need a place to put a couple of brackets to slide a shovel handle in. Got to have a shovel with me on the farm all...

In the attachment, I show how close that nut is to the tire. One person said this precludes chains on the tires. Anyone get around this?

Hi, In the attachment, you see how the nut/bolt holds on the teeth to the bucket. Does anyone think the nut should be on the outside? Thoughts.

Hi, I have used gear tractors for 35 years but my CK20 is my first HST. The road crew dropped some fill off and I am in the process of spreading it with the front loader. I push the dirt down the slope but when I go to back up, the tractor stops even though I have the pedal all the way to the...

The tractor just fit but it was a bit hairy driving it up the ramps with only 1.5 inches of tread on each ramp.

I have read just about all the posts for the last year and now know that a 5' brush hog will work better for me than a 4'. I am wondering about York Rakes. Input?

Thanks to gravel13 's headsup, I checked the auction for the CK 20 with the Woods backhoe, Sims Cab, and 54" bucket on eBay and won the auction. I was interested in the CK30 for our blueberry farm (childsblueberries.com) but today at the dealers, I noticed that they are really just too wide...

Kioti CK30 HST or John Deere 3320 CK 30, loader, backhoe, Sims Cab, chains, industrial tires or 3320, loader, cab, chains, industrial tires and a backhoe except I can't have the cab and backhoe. Really want the JD cab (wow) but really need a backhoe. Kioti or JD?

<font color="blue"> </font> Hello, I am new to logging in but have been reading the opinions of many of you for over a year and recognize the names when I see them. I am pretty much convinced to switch from JD to Kioti. Why run when I can Howl. My financing is all set through the credit...
