Kioti and Kubota

Is Kioti and Kubota the same when it comes to reliability? Is both tractors the same design? Is Kioti and Kubota company owners brothers?

Thanks, Terry.

Yes, no, and no.

Terry,

You should spend some time reading through each of the Kioti and Kubota discussion groups. I think you will find the kinds of problems people, at least the ones that patronize TBN, have with their respective machines. I found it pretty educational when I was doing my buying research. Now I am the /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif owner of a CK20.

Did they ever get the backhoe for the CK20? That was one of several reasons I bought the BX22. I would still like to try the CK20, it looks like it will be a dandy tractor to own.

It was suppose to come in with the July shippment of tractors. I am going to give my dealer a call tomorrow and check. They said rather than take the tractor back to their shop, they would probably just bring the backhoe over and hook it up at my place. There was no charge either way so I told them whatever works best for them. I'm looking forward to getting it because I have a lot of projects backed up just waiting.

So far I am very please with my CK. It rides great, easy to control, more powerful than I expected and quieter than I thought it would be. Even my neighbor commented how quiet it was and he normally only talks with me when he has something to grip about.
