Lot's of firsts here

[Bigboyskioti]

Hello to all, This is my first post here(I've been reading alot just didn't register), another first is my tracter(I purchased a CK20HST) never owned anything bigger than a garden "tracter" before, It's coming with a KL120 FEL, & 48" finish mower. Any way this is just a get to know you all post! I have yet to actually get my new toy. Dealer is waiting on the loader. Should be getting it middle of next week. I feel like a kid waiting on Christmas! Well as soon as it gets here I'll post again to let everyone know how it does.... I have some pretty steep hills to mow. And hope it'll do what I think it will. Mitch in Kentucky

WELCOME TO THE PACK!

You are getting a great tractor. Once I get some grass growing in my front yard (1.5 acres +/-) I would love a mower for it. Is your mower a midmount or rear 3pt mount? Post pictures when you can.

Like Derek said, Welcome to the pack.
I'm not very good at waiting either.
I was on here every five minutes after ordering mine, checking the pictures and dreaming.
Have fun.

Congratulations and welcome to the pack. Don’t forget to leave cookies and milk for the jolly old deliveryman.

Welcome bigboy. I was sitting on a 20 yesterday, I don't think you will find a nicer tractor. After reading many reports from CK20 owners I believe you will be very satisfied with your new Kioti. Good Luck.

Mower is 3pt. My new toy is a 2006, older man bought it decided he wanted bigger traded the day before i bought it! Only has 5.7 hours. It had a MMM, but for my place I wanted the 3pt hookup! Can't wait til next week!

Congratulations. You'll enjoy the tractor. also bought mine slightly used when someone traded it in on a CK30 after 28 hours. The CK20 has been great and while I'm a bit biased, I think it is the best of the CK line and does everything it's big brothers can do just with 12" smaller implements. I presume you are getting the new style KL120 so you'll not need to deal with the torque tube issue. My tractor has been great and is just an amazing workhorse.

I just played hooky today and spent a total of nine hours on my CK20. Great day. Used 4 gallons of diesel. Dug up stumps with the backhoe and then buried them in the 10x15x6 pit I needed to dig to get one massive stump out (I flipped it sideways and left it in the pit). Used the grapple to move the other stumps to the pit then used a landscape rake to fill in holes and generally clean up. Now I'm up to 159 hours and time for another oil change.

The CK20 can be a real Swiss Army Knife of a tractor. I've posted a series of photos below showing what one CK20 has done in roughly 25-35 hours of work clearing about an acre of heavily overgrown land to open up a view of the ocean that had been lost.

Have fun with your new CK20 and don't be afraid to push it.
