Guess I am idiot!!

[fletcher]

WEll I guess I am idiot, cause I bought a new Kioti CK25. Everyonoe around me said I was foolish for not buying one of the big name. Well after lurking on here for a few months and finally registering tonight. I made the call , and for the features, quality, price, and the great local dealer. I made the choice to go Kioti. I purchased the CK25 with Kioti FEL. Also picked up a J Bar 5 foot rotary mower, and a 5 foot box blade. Tractor has a whopping 1 hour on it also! Price out the door was $14K for tractor, FEL, RM, and BB. I couldn't pass that up. Beings the green and the other orange one was $3k-$5k more for the same setup. Bought the unit today at 5 and the dealer delivered it 45 miles to my house. Went to set and start mowing my 32 acres when the rain Gods let me have it. So tractor is in my shop waiting for a good weather to try it out. Tractor will be mainly used for mowing the 5 acre yard, and the remainding 27 acres of planted pines, also plan to use the FEL with some homemade forks to lift and move stuff in my Auto restoration shop. So far I could not be any happier with it. Everything looks good, fit is great, etc, etc! Only thing I have found so far is my 3 year old was playing with the FEL control and somehow it has came lose and pivots in circles and will tighten back up not new in the right location.

And I kow pics are needed!! I'll get some tomorrow when the weather breaks

Welcome to TBN Fletcher, Congratulations on your new tractor. Did you get the hst or shuttle gears? Ive had my Ck30 for a year and a half and love it.. Its done everything ive asked of it.. I too looked at all brands and couldnt pass up the Kioti.. Enjoy your new toy, If you have any questions your in the right place.. Matt

I got the shuttle gear, not a fan of HST. I guess just a personal thing. So far I think it will do everything I need of it. And I think I got a good price on it also.

If anyone is in or around GA these guys have another CK25 and a couple of 45's. They also have a 45 with loader for $18k, its a 2004 model with 3 hours. Was used at the AG expo in Moultrie, GA for two years by Kioti. They are expecting a bunch of new unit at end of next month, cause they get all the units brings to the Expo, so thay giving great deals on the leftover 2006's

Good morning and welcome to TBN fletcher.

If your happy w/your new investment that's what counts,and by the sounds your son is also...gotta feeling you shall be sharing seat time w/your son.

There is a nut under the loader control boot that you can tighten. Get your joy stick in the right position and snug it up.

You will be amazed with what you can get done with your tractor. It will be so handy around the home that you will wonder how you ever lived without one. Congrats!

Include yourself in the picture -- or your property. We all know what the tractor looks like.

Yeah so far I love the little thing and haven't even done anything with it. But when you live in the deep south your only supposed to buy one of the big guys!

Actually its my 3 yr old daughter that will be seeing the seat time with me. And then I also have to worry about my 1.5 yr old daughter as "tractor" was her first word and her favorite toy.

I hope the weather breaks this afternoon so I can put it threw its paces mowing the 4 acre yard. And then maybe I can get some pictures also

"WEll I guess I am idiot, cause I bought a new Kioti ..."

They're getting to be more and more of us idiots every day.
Welcome aboard.
Like rico said, you're gonna find things to do with it, and wonder why you didn't get one earlier.
If you ever have questions, just log on here and ask. Between the Kioti dealers, Kioti owners, and yes, even the owners of other brands, help and answers are only a few keystrokes away.
Enjoy the new addition.
Tom

This site is what convinced me to give the lesser guys a try!! And I feel 110% confident I did the right thing. Been a fun morning, my uncle whish owns a bid 5000 acre farm down here , has been calling me in and out of his office with different dealers on the phone! He wants me to by green, and is trying everything in his power!


I have been mowing and stuff the last 2 years with my father-in-laws 4150 John Deere. Little big for what I needed and made mowing the yard a big chore due to the tractor size.

I'm gonna burn some fuel today though! I figure I can get in a good few hours before dark!

One question, anyone hooked up some spotlights on the rear the tractor?
