kioti ck20 gear
I am really wanting to buy a ck 30 with fel and backhoe, I plan on working on my property as well as making some money on the side with it. Would some of you ck 30 owers let me know your likes and dislikes? Thanks in advance for your help.

Mine has been a great machine, heavy and very capable. It has done everything I've needed it to do without any trouble.

Hello Rockman, My ck30 has been an excellent machine as well. Its very stout, comfortable and dependable. I have the Woods 1012 loader and Woods 80x backhoe on mine and its easily handled everything ive thrown at is with no problem. I think youll be pleased with its performance. .. Good luck

My CK30 gear has been a beast throught first 80 hours of use. Like Albmn I have the Woods 1012 FEL, loaded R4s and most times a Woods Rear Blade on back. Primary uses so far; much FEL work with 60" HD bucket and toothbar, digging, leveling and moving material. Have set Woods 48" HD pallet forks to move logs, lumber & whatever else needed. Have skidded enough logs this past summer to saw up about 3000 BF of lumber and about six cords of firewood. Used tractor heavily in my fall barn project, leveling & filling site, 3 pt post hole digger for poles, lifting timbers into place, w/pallet forks and pallet = ariel work platform, countless other little tasks. I can't say enough good things about this tractor. Heavy, powerful, good traction, well laid out operator platform, stable, very user friendly.

As with any piece of equipment of this nature I've had a couple problems. Had a bad headlight relay, replaced by dealer in my yard w/in reasonable time. The jam nut on FEL joystick came loose, noticed at delivery, dealer sent tech next day to fix. Niether of these items affected performance or my satisfaction with the product. Very well supported equipment IMO.

Here's a couple pics to get you started.:) Go to a dealer and test one out, drive it, dig with it, you'll love it.

Thanks guys for the feedback. It's nice to hear good things from actual owners before you plunk down that kind of money.

Willie, where in the Adirondacks are ya? I was born and Raised in Essex county, moved down here 2 years ago, go back for a week at Christmas, miss the mountians, don't miss the winters.

You wouldn't be missing much this winter, haven't even been on the skis yet. :( I'm in NE Essex county, near the county seat, hint. If I'd known you were up here and saw this thread I'd have invited you over for a test drive. Let you use the Kioti in a real working environment to get a feel for 'er.

What gives with your handle, are you a climber or do you work with rocks or just a whim?

I work in a rock quarry, make BIG rocks into little ones for asphalt, concrete and such. Sort of a modern day Fred Flintstone.

Yabba dabba doo :D. Good stuff, no wonder you like tractors. You get to play with real big machines all day, I'm jealous.
