Maybe----Moving from a bota to a Kioti?

[RadarTech]

Ok folks,
I spent some time on a Kioti this weekend and liked it..
It was a gear but still I think it does better than my larger bota..
It was a CK27...

What do yall think?
L3400 down to a CK27??

Why do you like the CK27 better? What does it give you or allow you to do that that kubota doesn't?

Just curious. Of course, I'm a Kioti fan! :thumbsup:

Well..
Let's see the loader on the 27 and 30 have better lift.
the 3ph has the crank for the right arm.. the stabilizers.. the telescoping 3PH arms..
Better cockpit...

higher capacity hydro pump..

now I think the ROPS is taller.. I don't like that...

When I looked at my Bota when I bought it, I wound up choosing it over the Kioti due to the "look" of the dealer.. and since then that dealer went out of business....

BUT... It has me thinking....

Sounds like you've talked yourself into it already!, I'd say, welcome to the pack!

It depends on your needs, will the loss of HP hurt your work needs? Maybe look into a CK30/35 if you want the same higher capacities without losing the HP.

I got the Kioti instead of that exact Kubota for many of the same reasons. Plus it was cheaper and had a better warranty.

If I already owned an L3400, I'm not sure I'd take the cost hit to move to a CK, unless the quarter-inching 3ph was a problem for my tasks at hand. I also wouldn't want to give up any HP.

There is no 1/4 inching valve on that Kubota! Kioti offering it now?
