used ck35hst vs. new ck2610

[Threepoint]

Agree. Get a cash price and arrange your own financing. That is especially true if you intend to pay it off early. The full realistic interest charges on zero percent loans are simply built in to the sales price. If you pay off early you've still paid all the realistic interest charged for a 60 month loan. No such thing as free money or zero percent finance charges.[snip]

Amvcane and Island give good advice on manufacturer or dealer "zero percent" financing. It's not at all free, in fact it's only real benefit is if you need to pay over time for cash flow purposes and can't find lower-cost financing elsewhere. As with any financing, you are making level monthly payments but the portion of each payment deemed to be interest is allocated on an actuarial basis. By the time you're well into the 60 month term, much more of each remaining payment will be principal. So there's less and less reason to pay it off early at that point.

Don't know why people are knocking the CK35 down. I mean I have the CK 30 hst and love it. I do a lot of landscaping with mine and find the loader is great for just about every job I do. I blow snow in the winter with it and she has a lot of power. So I think the CK 35 is a great machine too. The only difference between them is the horsepower which is only 5 but the tractors are the same in size.
CK 2610 is a newer machine on the market and has less features on them than the older CK's. IMO

Only knock I would make on the CK35 is that for a 35hp CUT, it has a wimpy loader. Fine to have less than 1200lbs lift on a 27 or 30 hp tractor but below par for a 35hp machine.

 

[K man]

Like I stated before it is only 5 hp what do you expect. just sayin

That CK35 would worry me as would the dealer whom presented it to you in that condition. I understand that some posts are stating the build quality in the newer models is reduced. Noting such things as horn switches with no horn. Parking brake dash lamp upon key on but no micro switch to complete. When I bought my 35, the 25, 30 and 35 were respectfully the same tractor with different engines and there was a slew of complaints of the smaller being under powered in high range to the point of not being able to carry a large implement uphill. Granted the high range is a transport gear for roadway travel imho. For this reason I bought the 35. I also have the hoe and in hindsight would have explored a Wood's Groundbreaker X.

Basically they both have the same engine.

One has more power. The other one can have the same power too.

In Korea this machine is offered as a 2810 which uses a 1300 cc engine compared to the 2610 here that boasts a 1640cc engine with less power.

If you think you are going to get a backhoe I would seriously consider getting the CK2610 with a backhoe now and take advantage of the financing. I don't believe you'll ever get a better deal than getting it all at once.

If you are thinking about BH, this is good advice. Plus you will have it from the get go....

And, you don't need to get the Kioti BH either. If the Woods or Rhino appeals to you it can still be financed on the same terms through Kioti.
