265 hrs on my Bobcat CT230 and it does tilling, cultivating, spraying, box blading, snow blowing, log splitter and logging. Soon to be sporting the new tree planter.
Yesterday was the first day since I got my CK27 to get some seat time. Loaded it up on my buddy's 16 trailer and headed to my Son's in-laws and worked for about 4hrs. The more I get to work with the tractor the more I like it. I was very impressed with myself, he had a lot of request to have done. he asked if i could cut a bank? I had my buddy's Leinbach SO-7 scarper blade I made a nice grade out of that. WOW. My own Leinbach SO came today I see it is much improved from the old one, it has a lot more angle adjustments. I searched VA and NC for one. Found one last Thursday from a place called Wolfe Farm Equip. in Covington VA. In fact they had 2 could be the last 2 every to be made. I called Leinbach and the guy said they had orders for some but was not sure they would have any made. This is Sad it is one of the most versatile blades in that price range. It is a shame they may not make them anymore.
ck30 7 years old, almost 500 hours. First couple of years a few problems, including the old "cracked front end loader issue". And the hydro radiator issue. And a fuel bowl issue.
All fixed under warranty even after warranty was out on some of them.
My dealer went out of business and another, closer one picked up the ball and fixed me right up..
Good tractor! I'd buy another one. I saved enough money to get the backhoe.. And the tractor is a horse..
Also had problems with my new ford pickup.. Ford wasn't as good as kioti about fixing stuff..
I bought a new ck27hst last spring/summer. I've got 30+ hours is all because they farm isn't local. Absolutely no issues. I use it to push trees, use grapple (a lot), disk, move round bales and now to run a chipper. It's been great and wish I had bought it years ago.
