I just wanted to thank everyone for your past posts and advice. I got my CK30 a couple of weeks ago and love it. I got the FEL with 60" bucket and the 2375 with a 12 " bucket. Put about 17 hours on it in the first 3 days. After getting a farmer john tan, called the dealer and ordered a sun shade. I went bigger after reading the posts and talking with some people on island. I am glad I went to the CK30. I just ordered a thumb from CDP-backhoe.com and got a 20 dallar discount after one of the members here set up a discount for TBN members. mahalo again for that. I will post pics of the thumb once i get it installed. I ordered the TH850B model. Just to let everone knon, he now sells them assembled. Before he sold the kits in which you had to weld together. the bigger thumb is still sold that way, but the smaller ones are pre-assembled. Not sure how long it will take to get to Maui from Canada, but he charged me the same price for shipping as he does for you mainlanders.

again.. mahalo to everone.

I think RedRocker is being facetious about the opinions of some that we are going out on a limb buying a Kioti??

Go over your new Kioti with a torque wrench---especially loader and wheels---rear wheels go to 275lbs ft.

I'm really happy to see someone finally post that they bought the BH thumb. I arranged that discount with CDP and made a post about it, but not one person has posted that they took advantage of it. I don't know if CDP monitors this forum at all, but I'd like to again thank them for extending ANY discount to our members.
I hope they've gotten a better response than I'm aware of!
Thanks for posting and congrats on your purchase.
John
