I don't own a Kioti, but I sure like them. I looked them over real close at the Louisville Farm Show. I couldn't find anything to complain about.

Glen, as I said in your other thread, don't put that larger BH on the CK30. Go with the 7.5' hoe to avoid any warranty problem. Unless money is not an object, and you're willing to eat the damage when Kioti sites your larger BH as the problem. John

Glen, I dont own one either but they look competitive. I dont seem to fit them.....the lay out of other brands seems a bit more natural although its been 2+ years since I have been on one.

If you like the way it fits you and you like the dealer it seems like a really great set up you have outlined.

Be safe,
Mark

You must mean a different Kioti model as the CK30 was not here two years ago. The large platform operator's station may suit you well now. John

Hi John - Is the larger BH a dealer installed option? If so I woould think they'd have to cover the tractor/BH under warranty?

I've been away for a while - has this been an issue?

Well, this can be a dealer installed option, but the Kioti warranty in essence, states that using other than Kioti approved implements may cause warranty problems. It's general, but covers THEIR butts.
No, there have not been any issues that I know of, just someone who wants to use a larger BH than recommended. John

Thanks - Yeah, probably not a good idea to go too large. I think mine is 8.5', and I manage to get into enough trouble with that size. Anything much larger, and I'd probably end up pulling myself right into the hole I"m digging /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif.
