I DO recall seeing that. And This is why there is a bit of confusion. The LK has a quick attact BUCKET and the KL is a quick attact loader.
Yes the dealer has them in ~ saw them with my own 2 eyes and tried it out. BUT ..... took to long to decide between the CK 25 and 30. So have to wait till the end of the week for the loaders to come in. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
Most of my test driving was on the Ck 25, decided to go with the 30 thinking it may have a better resale value [not that I plan on parting with it] Was the 30 worth the price difference?
I doubt it, but who ever regretted having more power? /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
My dealer said Kioti's move to the thier new warehouse in N.C slowed things down a bit, but getting back on track.

Absolutely no apology needed to anyone!
And you are totally correct about TBN being better than that other site. Going there is sort of like cheating on your wife. Something that IF you do it, you end up feeling guilty about it and you know it is wrong when you are doing it. Best cure is not to do it at all.

You may not be totally wrong about it being in this forum.
A recent post stated that the poster was looking at tractors and wanted a quick attach loader. Poster mentioned CK30, and I responded that I wasn't sure if the CK30 has quick attach, but others assured us that it does. Maybe that's what you had read. While I had gone out to my dealer's and tried out a CK30, I had not paid close attention to what was offered on the loader, I just tried it out to see how well it worked, and man, it worked. John

KiotiJohn, if you want to try the out the quick attach mount and your dealer doesn't have one in stock, go to either a Farmall or NH dealer. The QA feature on the Kioti loader looks identical to the one used by CNH. In fact I have often wondered if the Kioti and the CNH loaders are made in the same factory? I doubt they would interchange with each other because they are probably made for a specific size, and the lift height specs are slightly different so I suspect depending on the model, one brand may be slightly longer than another. The loaders seem to ride slightly differently as well, the NH & Farmall loaders seem to slope down at a more severe angle when the bucket is all the way down. The real visible difference between the two is that Kioti has a tube over the top of the hood that connects to the uprights on each side of the tractor.
To: Mr.Skurka, before you start feeling too blue, we did try out a new holland,[not sure of make and model, 4 yrs old w/300 hours] seemed pretty nice, However the dealer was a "roadside"guy with no shop. said he wanted to give us a "sweet deal on a sweet tractor" and would even throw in a one year warranty [though I did not see a shop] Wasn't sure if he was talking to us or the guy on the cell phone that was attached to his head the whole time he was talking to us!
Needless to say, we burnt rubber leaving that place and headed right to the Kioti dealer! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
And to Kioti John,
Ever think of selling Kioti's? ~ They should at least give you a free hat or something! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Well, time to mow the lawn with our old faithfull craftsman mower ~ Maybe next week the lawn will be brushhogged! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

When looking at a previous thread by sodamo in this very forum, he was talking about a quick attach feature.
Here is a quote from one of his replies:
</font><font color="blue" class="small">( I don't think the quick attach for KL130 loader is available yet. I hope it is in near future. That caused me to wonder - are buckets sold specifically for each loader? The KL130 60" bucket is different from KL1450 60" bucket? Perhaps ATI will have it soon. )</font>
It sounds like he is talking about a quick attach for loader mounted attachments.
I'll post a link to the thread:

readytogo. . . I was specifically referring to the LA series NH loaders and the nearly identical looking 120 and 130 loaders from Kioti. The similarities between the CNH loaders and the Kioti loaders makes me wonder if they are built on the same production line. But again, they must be slightly different because of the slightly different specs in lift height and capacities. The NH LA12 & Farmall LX112 is nearly identical to the 120 (or visa versa) and the 130 is a virutal twin to the NH LA14 & Farmall LX114. The quick attach pins, their placement, the hydraulic line plumbing, the placement of the cylinders, etc all bear an uncanny resemblence to each other.
Not sure what you mean by me feeling blue???, I also own orange, red & gray, and yellow . . . in addition to some small stuff from green and restore the other color green. So I consider myself colorblind. Every brand has BAD dealers. I always recommend people buy from a good servicing dealer, regardless of brand, and if you read my posts I have recommended people walk away from orange, blue and green dealers that don't treat them well.

JayC . . . after reading that, I too agree with you. That sure sounds like quick attach at the bucket for things like forks, etc. Especially with the reference to ATI since they specialize in quick attach buckets and implments, not the actual loader assembly.
