I have talked myself into coughing up the cash, with help from the 0 for 60 months financing, and purchased a CK 30 with a woods 72" finnish mower. I looked @ the Green, the Red, the Blue and the other orange and I guess it came down to weight. I did not get the loader because I am taking a change on the quick attatch bucket becoming available in the near future. Just wanded to say thanks to all who answered questions and had advise to share. I take delivery in two weeks so not sure if I will get chance to mow this year or not, but I can use it for gathering, splitting and hauling wood this winter............Thanks to all, Mike

A QA adapter is currently available for the CK30.

Is the QA adapter from Kioti and will it fit arms from a 2004 model KL130? I've seen an after market brand, ATI Corp., but it was a bit expensive. Called an ATI distributer, Kubota dealer, and they wanted $700 for the QA and then $300 for the plate to weld to my bucket.
Victor, I looked at this option too but i decided to wait because two different dealers have told me it will be offered by kioti in the near future. when it is offered, you might buy just the attatch and plate cheeper from kioti??

I was at the Sunbelt Expo in Moultrie Ga. tuesday and at the Kioti display the CK30 had a QA bucket on it. The rep said all the new ones will be coming with that set-up. He said I could buy the plate for mine but it would have to be welded on. The bucket on the KL130 loader was bigger than mine also.

Hey Capt. did the rep happen to mention how many dead presidents a fellow would have to lay out for that set up?

He said it would be a small increase in the price for a new loader and the conversion kit would be up to the individual dealers.

I talked to Rick Wallace and he has the QA for the KL120 and 130. Not the Kioti original. He had them made. Prices are reasonable too. Better than ATI Corp. If you are getting a new loader, it probably would be better to wait. For those of us that have the older loader with no QA, Rick's will do the job.
I think I'll get the QA pallet forks also. I could have used them many times in the past years. The add on ones to the loader bucket seem to put to much twist on the bucket cutting edge.
