hey all, I don't post much at all anymore, mostly because I am not very mechanical and can't answer half the questions asked here with the same degree of knowledge that most of you can. I still visit the site probably 3 times per week though. Anyway, after three years of payments, I now own my CK30 instead of Agricredit. Over the full 3 years, I have had a few problems; 1. Throttle arm would not hold and RPM's would drop (had to hold it in place with bungee cords) 2. Hood was almost impossible to open. 3. Fuel gauge is almost useless. 4. I do have slight cracking like others on the loader. The throttle arm and hood were fixed as soon as I got the tractor to the dealer. The Fuel gauge still doesn't work properly and this seems to be a somewhat common problem. Finally, I am still waiting like others for a loader fix. That being said, I don't think I could have been any happier with my purchase. It has more power than I ever imagined, the loader has lifted everything I have asked it too, and the tractor has never actually failed while operating. I would not hesitate at all to purchase another Kioti and if they ever get around to making the 45HST Cab, I will probably move up. I use my tractor mostly for rotary cutting and maintaining my driveway. Also for snow removal in the winter. I must say, it has never giving me a problem on cold weather starts, even the few times I was dumb enough to try in less than ideal weather (sub zero). So before I bore you all (probably too late), I just wanted to check in and say hi and tell anyone looking that I would not hesitate to purchase a Kioti.
