What I would like to see Kioti do!!

Yep, fuel filler placement could be improved, but not a real big deal.

I actually prefer the shuttle over the hydro myself. Just my personal opinion though. I don't mind the fuel location. I tried out tractors with the fuel tank in the back behind the seat such as the Farmtrac. Greatly reduces your vision down to your 3 pt hitch arms. It is harder to fuel, I have to agree. It is protected better than say something with a fuel tank right under the step or under the tractor. I agree completely about the curved loader and joystick on the fender. Not that bad to get used to though. The only thing I would like to see different is the option of having a clutch engaged pto as well as the electric engagement. Just my opinion though. I like the electric, but I still believe the option of engaging the pto slowly has its advantages. Just my 2 cents worth. Otherwise, great tractor from what I have seen so far. Very happy!!

Hey, can an outsider join in? /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif Hopefully Kioti is watching. How about making a hydro transmission available for the DK65S? /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif That would be the cat's meow. With the engine it has, so what if a hydro takes a little extra power to run!

I'd say change the CK20 to the CK25 with all its extras included makes more sense than having the CK25/30 the same size.
The LB1914 could be the 20 HP model with optional HST or Shuttle shift, the CK25 in the CK20 package, then the larger CK30 all with Synchro shuttle or HST.
I agree that all the models should be available in HST or shuttle.

While I love my CK20HST, I agree with getut (in other posts) and some others like Bob Shurka, that it would be the cat's meow with the 25HP package, telescoping arms etc.

All the models should be sloped hooded and loaders with curved arms in my opinion.

The website is supposed to be revamped, and parts support is something that has been suggested. I'm hoping to also see information about past models available also, if nothing else, at least the specs and years of MFG.

I could think of lots more things, but then so could everyone else probably. Make too many changes, and they'll cost way too much!

I would like to see a newer style 4 point subframe for the backhoes.
The type that stays on the machine, gives better ground clearance and is mid mount mower compatable.

Yes you can join it. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif <font color="blue">How about making a hydro transmission available for the DK65S? </font>

I already said that. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I also like the idea of a better web site and parts order online. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Keep'em coming, RedDog

Dang it man! Can I say I was absent that day? /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif Uh, how about I vote for them going to a 4 cyl in the 65? It's not really that important, but seeing that you already took my request I felt obligated to come up with something. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif As a matter of fact, do they have a mailing list? I'd like to get on their list to be contacted when they put a hydro in the 65hp cab model. (I'm skipping over "if" they put one in)

Dargo, and all else interested (like me) on a DK HST, when I was shopping and researching before my purchase, I called Kioti and spoke to an engineer. He told me that they planned on having HST available in the DK's for the 2006 models, 2007 at lates. Now, I don't know if it is a slow roll-out like their current chnageover to sloped hoods. I sure hope it happens though.

......nobody mentioned TURBO! If I could find a turbo kit to fit my CK20, I'd buy it in a heart beat! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
