How strong is a Kioti CK20 HST.

I used my CK20 to pop and roll this monster yesterday! Clearing some land and moving a stone wall to my border.More pics are in the fun tractor thread. The tractor does get hot doing this work.

Can't let my wife see that picture with the cab. Does it have air conditioning?

No just heat. It is more a winter machine for me. I use it for snow removal.

What do you use to remove snow? I have a ATV w/48" plow but this year was thinking about using my CK20. The question is by what method; blower/plow/FEL ?? After years of using rear blade on an old 2wd tractor, it has to be front mounted.

I use the bucket for small storms and a 54 inch rear mounted blower for the big ones we normally get. Was thinking of getting a bucket mounted plow this year.

North Central Mass gets alot of snow, I used the ck20s to clear snow for the last three years. Brother has a similar size Kabota and lives in south east mass, no snow. He uses a 3pt blower and raves about it. I used a back plow but went back to just the bucket

I have to mention my tractor fuel pump died. The guys at Upper Valley came out after hours , they also got Kioti to cover the part cost when the tractor is 30 months old. Very nice group of guys

Get a small snow box you will be happier. CJ

I have the 54" blower on the back of my CK20S for heavy stuff, and a 72" fully articulating blade from Michigan Iron for the front. I take off the loader for the winter and use the subframe mounted snow blade. Very efficient and the ability to power angle is a huge asset. Definitely recommended.
