Kioti Backhoe

[Gil Case]

Rule of thumb I have heard from dealers is $1000 per foot.
I think I got a better deal than that by buying TLB CK20 hst, but there are so many deals out there,who knows. I am very happy with my little 20 hst with 2465 BH. It's a little brute.

If you dont mind, how much did that package deal run for the CK 20 TLB?

Got any photos of it in operation

I don't know what current prices are for the Kioti backhoes. However, I can report that I paid $5000 to add a KB2365 and a set of rear remotes to a CK20 at time of purchase. I was in a good bargaining position as I'd agreed to buy the base tractor for $10K a week earlier and the dealership had unintentionally added the backhoe, remotes and subframe intending to sell it as a TLB setup not knowing about my tentative sale.

Hard to imagine "lots of play" after 10 hours. There are folks with that same BH who haven't had trouble after hundreds of hours. I haven't looked at a 2475 but find it hard to believe they don't have bushings either.

What does your dealer say?

dealer has been really good thay came to my yard put new pins in for me this is when i realized no bushings and never made any difference i can live with this where i now have probley 90 hours on it and it does not seem to be getting any worse the more i drive around and look at other backhoes the same as mine i see the same thing in most of them.I like to keep things as new as i can the tractor has 150 hours on it and looks better than new.I guess the next backhoe i buy i will do just a little more research on other than that i like it alot with no other problems

this is good to know, I am considering buying a Kioti either DK40 or DS 4110 and eventually getting a backhoe if not right away, these tractors take the bigger hoe, 2485 I believe it is, if it doesn't have bushings I will definitely buy a different brand, woods, bushhog, wallenstein, I'm not 100% sure but I believe from previous reading that these have bushings. I work with heavy equipment and my company has a lot of tired pieces, it's a real pain working with a slopped out hoe.
