Which to buy

P.S. I like the redneck bumper a lot. I am hoping to build a gas powered picnic table next year and maybe I should put a small square on the front as a bumper!!!

When you complete your picnic table make sure you accessorize properly with a gas powered blender.

I modifiesd a set of old forklift forks to hook on my bucket. I have picked up 4x4 round bales. Tractorhill is right, i get under the bale, then roll back the bucket putting the wieght further back. I am then able to lift he bale to full height so i can drop it over the fence. Now if i had a bale spear attached right to the arms, it would be easier.
I guess i will have to go take a pic to prove it......hmmm the goats could use another bale....gimmmie a few hrs .

Yep. Don't tell the guys on the other orange forum or they may turn green!

Gotta say I'm impressed by the picture of the CK30 lifting that bale. The CK25 and 30 are apparenly the same tractor frame with different engines. Does anyone know if the 25 would do the same as in this example? I just happen to have 2 sets of forks!

If you look real close you can see the suspension wires.......{JUST KIDDING}

I will say that using bucket forks i would not be able to lift a larger wet bale, but i think it would with a bale spear in place of the bucket. This is why Kioti needs to have quick change implements on the CK series....i would have paid extra for that option.

I have an aftermarket QA on my CK30.
Have you seen this thread;

http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/kioti-buying-pricing/114639-ck20-qa.html

It lists several sources for aftermarket QA. Just to confuse/tempt you a little more... I suspect an aftermarket QA is going to be cheaper than steping up to a DK series, although not as much fun.

The loaders are identical so the 25 should work the same even with slightly less horsepower.

Be careful of which forks you select as a set of forks can easily weight more than a bucket. A bale spear would weigh less than forks.
