New seat/seatbelt on CK20

MotorSeven · Nov 20, 2005

Hmmmm, i guess i'm lucky, got the mid folding ROPS, adj suspension seat, & retrac belt. BTW, the belt has a "keeper" mounted where the belt is bolted down that the male end of the latch slides into, and it does keep the thing from floping around. This is because the retractor is on the loose end, not at the base like most belt arraingments.

I remember KiotiJohn posting a while ago that the first letter in the serial number of the tractor is the year. So if yours is a 2006, then it should be an "F".
As was discovered in another post, it seems like Kioti changes things during the same model year. Previous post was about a manual fuel cut off on the CK30 gear or hst. Some have it and some don't.

Thanks for the info VictorW.

I just checked and my serial number starts with an "E". /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
The worst part is that I went to 3 different Kioti dealers, saw three CK20 all with different features, one with the old hood and old seat, one with the new hood and old seat, and one with the new hood and the new seat. Luckily I got the last one, but now there is one with a newer seat and retractable seatbelt. Of course all three tractors were "New Model" and they were all the same price. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif
I guess I am just lucky that I held out for the right one, now if I had held out for another month I would have a newer model for the same price.
Why does this not sound right ?

I understand your pain...imagine how it makes us dealers feel?!?! The first two CK20's I recieved were within three weeks of eachother and they both were different!

I use my cup holder on my DK45s, I never have to fish for it!

ok, can one of our dealer friends here give us a price range to upgrade our seats and or suspension seat bases?

I have one of the "original" CK20's (almost 3 years old) with a no suspension seat...I'd love to have something similar to what Island posted, even though i did add a suspension base to my seat...
