Kioti tractor info needed

[8226hamer]

2 years bumper to bumper and 4 years engine and drivetrain.

Kioti Warranty

One of the best warranties on the market.

Also, the Kioti DK35 has a 28.3hp hydraulic independnt PTO if that is what you want.

The DK35 sounds like what I need and the powertrain warranty is a year longer than kubotas. I'm going to call tomorrow the nearest Kioti dealer and see if they have a DK35, if so I will go and check it out.

I guess my next question should be ask in the price and buying forum, but are they priced close to Kubotas line of tractors?

When I bought a couple of years ago they were a fair amount less expensive in my area, but I haven't looked lately.

To the price question.. when I looked last summer at Kubota and Kioti (with Back Hoe and Loaders). My Kioti CK 25 HST was $19,000. The similar Kubota was almost $23,000 (forgot the model). Between the price, better warranty and the guys on this forum, I went with the Kioti. And I love the tractor!

To your first post, my CK25 has been great using the 3 point with a Harley landscape rake. I use it to spread loam for new lawns. (man does it save you from raking any rocks) I have about 50 hours of my 175 with the rake and maybe 10 with a 60" snow blower. I've also used the Ck25 to dig trenches for retaining walls.. spreading mulch.. etc. So, in it's short life it has had a good workout so far. My family has had John Deere's over the years.. they all think the Kioti is great quality with an even better price. Now if Kioti can get a nice construction type backhoe the size of a JD-110.. I can convert them!

Only repair with the tractor so far has been a tie rod, which I bent with a huge boulder in my yard.

Just my 2 cents..

Just got our CK30 with Shuttle Shift, but put a good 3 hours on it and the tiller (Modern 66") yesterday evening in our hard Texas Gulf Coast gumbo clay without a hitch. It worked great and the tractor never skipped a beat. Of corse we have many more hours of work to do before I can obsolutely say that we made the right choice in tractors, but at this point I don't think you can go wrong with Kioti!

We picked ours up on Monday. Tractor, FEL and Tiller for $16,900 and the CK35 was about 1k or so more I believe.

The CK30H is very comparable to the Kubota L3130 and much more
tractor than the L2800/L3400. The weight of the CK30H is between
3042 and 3329, depending on which published #s you believe. The
L3130HST is 3305 lb. They have nearly identical implement hyd pump
flows at 8.2 and 8.3GPM. The L3400 has barely over 6GPM.

Note the new DK35SE HST is a LOT more tractor at 3915 lb and a
slightly larger pump flow, prob around 9 or 10GPM. It has superior
less-vulnerable underpinings, vs the CK line.

8226hamer, I would do what you are doing: sell the Kubota when it is
fixed and working and get a better tractor. Don't trade it in, though.
You will be amazed at how much value it has retained if you sell directly.

The 3 CKs I have bought have all worked nearly flawlessly. (No cracked
loaders, either.)
