ck30 hst or ck35gear

[chuck172]

Trying to choose between the kioti ck30 with the HST price 17,5 vs. the Kioti ck35 gear driven price 17,5
The dealer offered me either machine for the same price. I've always had the gear driven machines, but most seem to like the hydrostat. The dealer is really pushing the ck30.
Any opinions?

Tough call. If you need that extra HP though, no choice.

I gave up HP for the HST (CK27HST), but that is OK in MY situation. I don't know your needs.

I don't like gear, but if you don't mind it, I'd say CK35 wins.
