Not sure how many responses I'll get, but...

My guess would be that the radio is a dealer installed option, and they did not use the Kioti kit, just bought a radio and installed it. The one they chose has the ipod cable, the Kioti kit does not.

no, all the cab Kiotis come factory equipped with a radio......it is a puzzle.

Time to get a quick-hitch Kyle.

Maybe if we get more implements, but right now we have only the carryall and the backhoe. I have to take the whole hitch off to use the backhoe, so getting a quick-hitch would not make sense...

JD 3720
Fuel fill is hard to get at with a full 5 gallon can.
Seat belt retreiver gets jammed between the seat and the fender. Have to pull it out before you sit down.
Hydro-gear shift is easy to bump into neutral when mounting or dismounting.
Lacking valve stem guards. Broke two off in two days from wayward branches, with Rimguarded tires.
No 12 volt adapter for sprayer. At least I never saw it.
Needs mirrors so I don't have to turn around.
Plastic hood prone to scratches. I would assume metal would be the same.
The hour meter must triple the hours I actually put on it.:laughing::laughing:

Would I buy it again? In a heartbeat.
Those are the negatives, but the positives are substantial. For instance, the Hydro pedals are effortless to operate. Much better than my X740.

Weak brakes on the 7520 relative to the weight of the machine. The Kubotas have much stronger brakes.

I have a 2003 Kioti CK20. I bought it used in November and we (wife, son, and I) have put 160 hours on it.
I am very happy with it and amazed at what it will do for such a small hp tractor.
I took the hood off the other day to clean the engine and I was very impressed with how heavy it was made.

Things that I would like better.

I think an HST transmission would be better for doing a lot of front end loader work and when using the finish mower it would be nice for slowing down going around corners while keeping the rpms up.

The dipstick for checking the engine oil is a little hard to get to because it is behind the boom for the front end loader.

On my 2660 it's two things... one, it's not a B3030 and a zero turn. Two, the 3ph control lever is low enough that I have to lean forward to reach it. If I'm twisted around watching the box blade, it's a pain to reach the lever. There's an empty slot in the control panel up high. I wish I could relocate that lever there. It would be a lot more convenient.

I like everything about my John Deere 755 and 4700 except all the plastic and fiberglass. I wish they would make the hoods 755 and 4700 and fenders 4700 out of metal.

Love my MF 1235, first tractor and it's fought well above the call of duty and never shirked.

However, I can't help but want something a smidge bigger and more powerful, and I do wish that Massey Europe didn't deny all knowledge of the model and refuse to even find manuals or anything for it, insisting it's a "vintage" model.... yes, 2003.... ancient.

Love the tractor, just hate breathing the diesel exhaust.
