I'd have to agree with that. I talked to a fellow the other day who ordered a 75HP name brand tractor (won't give out any names) and has been waiting now for over 4 months and the dealer told him the other day that he probably won't see it till mid march. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

I know the waiting game isn't exclusive to Kioti. The problem maybe was the fact that the Kioti's are just too apealing. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif I had originally bought a ck20 and only had 5 hours on it when my neighbor came along and bought it from me. I had heard the rumors that the ck30's were coming out so I ordered one right away. I had to wait for the tractor to arrive, then the buckets, then the rear hydraulics. Meanwhile I had the pleasure of watching my neighbor cleaning up their yard... with the Kioti I didn't have anymore.
On a side note, in talking to my dealer; They had an open house recently and sold 14 Kioti tractors during their open house. Not a bad open house!

Maybe someone would know this.. Does the KL 130 loader come with standard quick attach plate, and is it possible to install a blade on the loader arm's for snow removal...cag

Do you mean quick attach for attaching the loader to the tractor, or for swapping out the bucket with skid-steer attachments?

When I inquired about the CK30 at the closest dealer to me, I was told that the loader attaches to the tractor quickly and easily, but that quick-attach for the bucket and other attachments was not available. I believe there is another post in this forum that discusses it and there is an aftermarket quick-attach available.

Bowhunter swapping out the bucket and then install a blade on the loader arms replacing the bucket . I seen set ups like this and was wondering if it could be done with the KL130.. cag

Someone does make an quick attach bucket mount. I don't know if it is something Kioti carries yet in house or not. I know there is a company that is making them. The dealer I purchased my CK20 from had some on his lot when I was there this last time. That is a item that attaches to the front end loader arms in place of a bucket allowing quicker removal of the bucket and also allowing you to attach other impliments like you would commonly find on a skidsteer.

Here is the other thread. The company is ATI.

Cag Go to www.littletractor.com and you will see a link for a 4 in 1 bucket for the ck30. I think it would be pretty much what you are looking for all in one bucket. Basically, the front of the bucket flips up hydraulically to leave you with a blade, cutting edge and all. Fairly convenient.
