New ck 35 owner

[Illini22]

I just left the dealer and left a $1000 deposit on a new 2011 ck35 hst. Loader, quick attatch bucket, suspension seat, r4's, grill guard and bucket hooks. They don't fill tires so I'll have look elsewhere for that. I may have them install remotes, $340 for one set, another $430 to turn it into 2 sets. I have know idea if ill ever need them but may add them anyway.

Congratulations on the new tractor. If you are going to spend $ on adding rear remotes, now it the time to do it and get both sets. If you wanted to add that extra one later it would be the same $340 as only 1, unless the price goes up and I have not seen it drop.

Congrats and welcome to the pack!! Get both sets of remotes now. you won't regret it.

Congrats, you'll love that tractor. I'm confused though, the CK35 should come with 1 set of remotes. I had a 2011 CK30 and it had one set from the factory, I had the second installed for $500 all in.

I was wondering about the lack of 1st remote too but didn't mention it. Not sure if it was something Kioti took out as part of cost increases & keeping them to minimum. Maybe this one was destined for Bobcat (which doesn't put 1 remote standard) and someone accidentally put orange sheet metal on it.

Thanks for the replys. I have know idea if one set comes standard or not. I'll have to look on the website. Are there better remotes than the ones that motion offers? Also looking for a box blade a tooth bar or ratchet rake and or cutting edge for the bucket.

I think the CK only came with optional rear remotes and KiotiKen's must have had one installed by the dealer. Attached is page 8 of the 2011 CK sales brochure which shows the rear remotes as an option. It looks like the 2nd rear remote was just available on the CK27 and above. I recall that is the case when I got my DK35.

Well, I stand corrected, looking at the specs, remotes are optional. I guess my dealer just installed the first set or ordered it that way, but I certainly never discussed it with him. We are very fortunate when it comes to remotes compared to other brands. I added a second set to the CK, and I'm in the process of adding a second set to my DK and in both cases, the price was the same, $400 for the kit. If you had the other orange tractor, those remote kits are north of $1K.

Get a tooth bar instead of the ratchet rake or cutting edge. Saves you money and it does both.
