Is it worth the $$$ Kioti CK30FEL

[ncfirebiz]

First off, I'm a new member to the forum. I feel I have read the majority of the forums here, and have gained much knowledge about many different tractors. (At least I think I have, my wife has different opinion) But to the main question I was quoted $15,500 before taxes, for a SS CK30 w/FEL(130) This just seems a little high to me. The same dealer also has a Hydo. CK25 w/FEL(130) for $13,500 trying to see the better deal here! I do landscaping and minor grading work on the side but no mowing, a little help plz???

That was more than I paid for my HST a little less than a year ago.

In a recent thread prices for CK30's were roughly $15,000 for a CK30 HST with loader (the low price I saw was $14,500 CK30/HST/FEL, comments were that was a great price). I think your price sounds a bit high but not bad. For your intended uses, the tractor should be a great fit and do a good job for you.

The shuttle CKs are a bit hard to come by seems the 25HST is in better supply and so discounted a little more agressively that is a VERY good price on the CK25HST! the HST has three gear ranges to the Shuttle shifts two ranges.

Hello NC, Your price does seem a bit high, Here in Ny the Kioti Ck30hst at a good price would be around 15900,the shuttle shift should be about 1000 less, my best price from 6 dealers.. For some reason they sell about 1000 less in the south...Perhaps someone from your area will chime in and give you better regional pricing.. As far as the tractor, the Ck30hst is a awesome machine...You will love it... good luck. Matt

Get the dealer to throw in a boxblade to with the CK30 and you're good to go. Prices have continued to jump over the last couple of years, and these high fuel prices are not helping on freight charges that dealers, and, ultimately, customers must absorb.
I think you'd really love the CK30. For your uses, I think it's the better choice.

Welcome!

A friend just picked up his CK30 shuttle w/FEL at a cost of $13,600 and the low quote this Spring for a CK30HST w/FEL was $14,500. Both are VERY good prices! Do as John says and try to get the dealer to throw in an implement of your choice!

Good choice and good luck!

I purchased my CK30HST w/FEL, and fluid filled R4's in June for 14,800.00. My dealer in Strafford, MO even threw in a rear bale spike for that price. I additionally purchased a box blade and 5' cutter from him. My try to bargan with him a bit or have him thrown in a free impliment or free 50 hour service. You have chosen a very good machine for the money. Good luck w/your purchase.

Boy... not much to be made by the dealer that that price. Might be hard for him to throw anything else in... I am familiar with that dealer though....

Well I think you are right, the dealer was kind enough to show me the invoice since I do so much business with them. They made around $700 and being in business myself I didn't mind paying, I ended up with a CK25 HST w/FEL and BOXB. for $13,465?
