CK20 Design Question ???

[Neophyte]

Does Kioti have any plans to extend the CK20 design to other models with more HP? I really like the design/layout and would like to see it in a 30-35HP model. I liked the curved FEL on the CK20, similar to the NH FEL. Are additional CK tractors on the way? Any idea on the timeframe?

It's my understanding the CK20 is being followed up by the CK25 and the CK30. Prototypes of the CK25 & CK30 are due here in the states very soon and are tentatively scheduled to debut at the Sun Belt Ag Show in Georgia, Mid-October. Production models are scheduled to roll out in Spring of 2004.

I'm about to ask you questions you probably don't know. However, the suspense is killing me so I will proceed in my exercise of futility.

Any additional information or pictures?
Will they have the curved loaders as well?
Any specs available whatsoever?
Will they be available in Hydro?
Will the CK30 be the similar in size to the Kubota B2910 or will it be more like the Kubota L3130?
Etc., etc., etc.?

Any dealers on the site that could share with us? /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I have not been privy to any pictures as of yet. The "CK" line is the "hydro" Line, as well as gear. I have not seen any official "specs" from Kioti, however if you go HERE, this Kioti dealer in the UK has posted specs for the three CK's, UK versions. All the measurements are in metric...so you'll need to convert. (a google search for metric conversion charts will give you what is needed.) The CK30 weighs in about 1243 metric, which I believe to be 2740 lbs. I'm thinking the CK30 will be closer in size to the B2910 but weight wise, inbetween the B2910 and the L3130.

Very cool link! I can't believe it's the only link that pops up when you do a search on Google for "Kioti CK30". That dealer must be the first ones with the information. Kioti does not even have any hints of these on their website.

Thank you.

I have a CK 20 in the UK and the dealer today told me the expected show date for bigger CKs inthe UK of January has been put back to later - nearer the summer.

Neo, I don't think they want any pictures getting out on the 25's and 30's. When I looked on Littles site a month ago they had pictures of their trip to the Kioti plant in Korea. They stated that there were pics of up coming models but there was nothing but DK's. But there is one pick in the front of the plant and in the background you can see what looks to be an oversized CK20, but no close up's. Which led me to think they let the dealers look, but no pics.

From the Kioti website:

Introducing CK20

the first in the new CK Series line of 20 hp to 30 hp distinctively designed compact utility tractors. Hydrostatic or manual. Loaded with features such as the industry’s simplest maintenance and an ultra-quiet, low vibration, environmentally friendly Daedong diesel engine.

It says 20 to 30hp, when the website was initially revisied it had more info, but since has been edited down somewhat.

FYI, if you want to you can go to Kioti's parent company Daedong website, you'll see cab version of the DK45, but still limited info on CK series http://daedong.co.kr/english/index.html I like the DK45 cab. While your there check out the rice planter. Good luck on your search.

Stvman,

Good catch. I found the couple of pics you were talking about and have attached them. You can definitely tell these are bigger than the CK20. I'm sure they must have been CK25 or CK30 tractors. Nice looking machines. I think Kioti will definitely become more of player in the CUT market with the addition of these machines. After these land, TBN will need to add a dual forum for Kioti like they have for Kubota, NH and JD. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
