Ct 450 sst or not

[articatsopro]

Came real close to pulling the triiger on a CT235 but I can afford a CT 450 for a very good price with cab but am wondering about the sst. It will be use mainly for loading and mowing work/some snow removal, The thing that puzzles me is Kioti does not offer or at least I don't see a equivalent to the sst.. Whats your guys opinions on the sst. My family owns a heavy equipment company so this is primarily for my house and brush hogging around the shop and some land I bought.Ive been around tractors for a while just not the new ones. Thanks

How much extra for the shuttle shift option?

Not 100% positive but I think you'll find that the SST is NOT available in the cabbed models. I know that because I specifically wanted a shuttle shift transmission in either the CT445 or CT450 which I am looking at and the dealer advised that the SST (as with the Kubota models and apparently the KIOTI models) is not an option if you get the enclosed cab. For some reason, most manufactures aren't making the less expensive trans available in the upgraded cabs.

I have been using a shuttle shift for years in my Kubotas and really like it. You loose power (approximately 3-4 hp) when you run the same tractor with the HST trans vice the SST.

Good luck and if you find out different, please let me know.

Kioti will have theirs very shortly as a matter in fact there was one at Kioti when we had our national sales meeting last week.
