FINALLY!

[yoyo]

It's here! It's here! Finally, my new CK25HST is in the yard , delivered at 5:30pm today! The 60" First choice mower is also here but the tiller still needs to be put together. The tractor has some rust spots on the rops and fel. What's the story on matching the Kioti color?

I have the CK20, not quite as grown up as your CK25. I have yet to obtain factory touch up paint for the orange and gray. I made my own color match from Testors model enamel. For the orange-red color I added small amount of red to orange paint until I achieved a close match. For the gray, I added small amount of black to gray to achieve a close match. I used a toothpick to dip in the paint bottle to add and stir the paint. Then I marked the top of the combined color bottle to identify the mixed paint. Just an idea that worked fairly well. It's certainly better than having rust and/or nicks showing.

Congrats on the new toy.
I would love to see some pics to see how it looks compared to my CK20.

Congratulations yoyo! I'm really happy for you, and a bit jealous as I haven't even seen one of the new CKs yet.
One thing about the rust/nicks, your dealer should have prepped those before sending you the tractor. He can get the small bottles of touch up paint. I've seen my dealer spend a good bit of time making sure any dings were made right before sending out a unit. I'd speak with your dealer about doing so. Don't forget to take it easy on your tractor for the first 50 hours break-in period, and ENJOY! John

John, I can email you my pics from delivery day. They are too big to post here not too big to email . I'm still working on how to reduce the files with Infraview. I will eventually set up the web shots like you but I work 2 jobs and time is at a premium for me. I am actually working now (backshift) but it just so happens to be break time.

Noland,
When my tractor came in, the dealer had it parked next to a Ck20 and I took some pictures of them in the lot. I can email them to you as well.

Thanks, Kevin, that would be nice. You can resize the pics easily with something like Adobe photo deluxe or many other pic programs. Sometimes I see pics on here that I can't believe got on, and I don't know how they did it. When I used to attach pics directly on here, they always had to be too tiny. That's why I went to webshots.com. Hope you get a break soon! John
