Fenders

I have not seen a CK20 in the flesh. The plastic fender claim came from my dealer over 6 months ago. That may have just been a rumor from last summer. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Re: Fenders

My local Kioti dealer said that the soon-to-be-available backhoe for the CK is the KB2365 whereas the model for the LB 1914 is the KB 1440. This might be just a sub-frame difference, but Carver lists the KB2365 as a 6 ft. hoe and the KB1440 at 6.5 ft. (and roughly $400 more). Could the differences be explained by the tractor ground clearance?? If not, sounds a lot like a different hoe.

Re: Fenders

Here's what I learned about kioti backhoes during the buying process. The kb1440 is/was made by a company here called smc. Kioti has decided to make their own which is called the kb2365. The 1440 is is basically out of stock and no longer made for Kioti. The 2365 looks basically the same but where the hydrualic hoses attach to the hyd-cylinders is "wimpy". They have little elbows welded on to the cylinder where the 1440 has larger blocks welded on. I think a small branch could knock off one of these elbows. I have seen both. The dealer I am in the process of buying from has opted to get the backhoe from the manufacturer of the 1440 until kioti improves the hydrualic connections. Also, the 2365 I saw didn't have covered hoses like the 1440 does. Hope this helps. By the way, My 1914 w/kl1210 and 65a bh is due to be delivered 6/21/03 Yea!
