Buying Advice Looking for CK30 or CK35

[Verbi69]

I was able to sit on a new CK3510 today although it was still unassembled on the crate. Nice tractor, easy access to get on and off I thought.
The dealer put the steering wheel and seat back on for me so I could get a better feel for the ergonomics. I also really liked the feel of the joystick control, dual forward/ reverse peddles, pretty much everything about it I liked!! I just hope it is all not from being a tractor virgin!!

I liked the tractor so much that next week I will take delivery of a new shinny CK3510!

I'd like to thank all for the input and education on this process.

Cheers,
Mike

Nice! Welcome to the club. I'm looking forward to hearing how you like it after u have a chance to try it out.

Took delivery late yesterday evening. Once the dealer went through the operation of the unit with me there wasn't any time to play, but glad it arrived!

Looks good! My dealer dropped and ran. Said "Read the manuals". Unfortunately he's still a Kioti dealer, but I love my tractor.

Good luck Sir.

Curious Mike how much did that machine cost.

I'm surprised that Kioti doesn't have the QA for the fel arms and it's back to pin attach.

Curious Mike how much did that machine cost.

I paid $29.5 + taxes.

I know there are post market QA adapters but I somehow thought the newer CK30s had QA now. Honestly haven't been to a Kioti dealer in five or six years so my memory could be wrong.

I looked at the OPs picture again and it does look like QA. Maybe time for glasses!

The last batch of old CKs came with QA, because mine has one. I thought the new CK10s came with as well, or is that something else they cut?

That sounds pretty fair Mike for here in Canada. Have fun with it.

They should at least offer a QA option so people don't have to buy the stock bucket then buy or rig a QA at additional expense. It would keep them competitive.

Has anyone actually contacted a dealer about this. I do recall that even back in 2009 or so I saw a CK30 with QA and I think it was standard. I rather doubt they backtracked.

My CK30 came with a QA in 2006. (Aussie)

The bucket is indeed quick attach however I have no idea on the arms.
