What do you guy\'s think? CK30

I've changed my mind. I think I'm going to get the CK30hst with a Rhino back hoe 85 and the 130 loader. Also the dealer is going to install rear work lights, conopy and pads for the hoe. All for 21,500.

Does this sound ok

Thanks

I am not sure I would put the 85 backhoe on the machine.

DK35vince has the Rhino 85 BH and may be able to give you some sound advice. You may want to try and PM him. Gerard

Kioti only approves up to a 7.5' hoe for that model. Going to the one foot larger 85 will void the warranty if there is a problem. The R&D department tested models with different backhoe sizes, and that is what they set for max size.
I personally think that frame could handle the subframe mounted 8.5', but my opinion doesn't count. You would need to get a waiver in writing from Kioti/Daedong to insure they would warranty any problems the larger BH caused.
I'd simply go for the 75 on that model.
As for the price, it's not bad for the named items. John

I've asked my dealer about this and he said I don't need worry. Should I contact Kioti and make sure? Thanks for all your help!

A BH can be pretty rough on a tractor and can break it in half or tear off parts of the rear end.

If Kioti recommends the 75 as the largest for the CK30, that is as large as I would go. If you want/need a bigger BH, I think you should seriously consider stepping up to the DK35/40 if Kioti suggests they are a good fit for the 85.

I would want a letter from Kioti (not the local dealership) saying that they will honor the warrenty on the CK30 if you install the 85, otherwise I would go up in tractor size to get the larger BH.
