Kioti CK30 HST
Hello to everyone,
New to this site and thought I would say hi. I'm in the process of buying a new 2014 kioti ck30hst TLB package with loaded tires and tooth bar along with free delivery, hat and t-shirt included in with the deal for $23,480 not including tax. I was reading some post about what others had paid for their kioti's with a variety of implements and was wondering if what I am paying sounds within the norm? When I started looking around at tractors I narrowed it down to the kioti ck30, ck35 or kubota L3200. All I believe are good tractors. Decided on the ck30 because the dealer couldn't get anymore ck35's in without the new emissions on and a $3000 price increase and said if they could find one it would be approx. $1500 more and I wasn't sure if 4 hp. more was worth that amount and the kubota was $6000 more. When looking at the kioti I had a choice of the kioti or woods backhoe. I kinda like the woods 4 point hookup,but it was $3000 more than the kioti. The dealer said they have never had any problems with the kioti backhoe and that they believed it was just as strong of a hookup as the woods. So I went with the kioti backhoe. Was wondering if any of you that have the kioti backhoe with sub frame have ever had any problems or concerns with the safety, strength,stress on the tractor, etc. with the way it hooks up to the tractor? Would like to say thanks in advance to answers to any of my questions and I apologize for being so long winded on my first post.
Thanks again.

Welcome to TBN. I have the just slightly smaller (same frame, smaller or detuned engine) CK27HST w/Kioti backhoe. I've never even thought about safety, strength, stress, etc. Both the loader and the backhoe toss the tractor around like a toy if you move the controls aggressively. I don't have loaded tires (yet).

The ONLY issue I have with the subframe is that when disconnected so I can use the 3pt it is huge! Almost as long as the tractor. I have no where to store it! So it stays on the tractor unless I need the 3pt that day.

Your price is good, mine was about 22,000 (incl tax). I didn't price the CK30, the CK35 moved the price out of my range.
