CK35 HST Price Check

[Hdoilcan]

Hello
I'm new here but have been lurking for awhile. I came to this website looking for more info on a Kubota B3200/3300. The more I've learned If decided Kubota isn't for me. This will be my first non lawn tractor but I believe the Kioti CK35 hst will fit my needs (actually taking the advice of buying a little more than what I need).
I'm looking to see what others have paid for theirs before taxes with just the fel fairly recently. I have received to prices so far of $18,300 + tax and $19,200 + tax
Both prices were for a 2013 CK35 hst, loaded R4 tires.
One dealer said thats the lowest because that's what Kioti sets the price at but from reading online I'm not sure that's the case???
Thanks in advance.

Oh and these were cash prices.

I think 18,300 is about right. Maybe a few hundred high.

Welcome to the forum.

Are you aware of the sticking hydro pedal on these tractors?

Just recently purchased a CK35 HST with loader. With current promos, you should be able to get that tractor for a little under $18K. Search on my user name for a post with more detail and lots of good buying advice.

Cause it happened on your Bobcat does not mean all of the line has problems. I;ve heard more Kubota 3 point problems then anything.

This concerned me when I was doing my research before buying, as did the issues with the Kubota 3 point issues, JD transmission/rear PTO, etc. At the end of the day, almost every tractor that was in the running, and most that weren't, had this issue or that. I was fortunate that a trusted friend of mine is a mechanic at the Kioti & Bobcat dealership. They sold a lot of Bobcat and now Kioti and he has yet to see this issue. He walked me through the issues he has seen, the couple of times they've had to split one, etc. Overall I am confident I purchased a good, solid tractor for the money but also know problems can happen and will have to deal with them (hopefully under warranty) if they do.

I also tell people to check for the jerky hitch on the Kubotas. I would want to know about these issues before purchasing a tractor.

Dealers are very rarely "aware" of common problems.

I think that is BS, please explain

They always claim it is the first time they have seen that.

I can understand that with a dealer trying to sell a tractor or maintain brand reputation, but I just don't think my friend would deceive me about something so significant. Maybe I am missing the point and you can explain further? Thanks!

I go talk to the Service Manager he gives me the scoop on whats up. Why talk to a Salesman for a Service problem?

How about I called the GM dealer with a truck that had a bad transfer case. It went bad because a clip breaks inside them and knocks a whole in it and the fluid leaks out the hole. This is a common problem. I asked the parts guy if he had heard of it and he said no. Guess what the reman transfer case had a hole that had been repaired in the same spot. They are told to say no they have not heard of that.

I thought you were talking tractors? Hard to BS with the internet around.

Tractors or anything are the same deal. It is even harder to BS typing on a phone.
