Good Deal ck4010se???

[mmayhem1999]

2022 Kioti ck4010se with 90 hours, rim guard, R14 tires, hydraulic top link kit, new 72” box blade. $25,250 no tax. Thoughts?

Only 90 hours? Yeah, that's a good price, at least here in Maine it would be.

I'd jump on it. You're talking about several thousand dollars discount off new pricing, for an almost new machine. And you don't even have to baby it through a break-in

Just picked it up. Stopped by dealer and they said it was a great deal. New 29k without all the options. Time to get some work done.

Congrats, great deal. We bought our 4010SE last August for 29k with 3 hours on it. 209hours on it as of today and going strong.

Your profile picture also has a Koiti 3rd function on it so that is even more money saved. Think that was another 1200-1500 bucks, cant remember.

I thought the 3rd function was standard on the se? Correct me if I’m off

Nope, 3rd function is an option; rear remotes are standard though.

Congrats! Post some pics.

Ayuh, we love pictures.

Welcome to TBN. Congrats on your new tractor, sounds like a bargain. But no pictures, it never happened.

 

[mmayhem1999]

Here you are! Oh it happened!

I burn firewood and have quite a bit forest to tidy up. Now I got figure out which grapple will be best to carry logs and rake the forest floor. Also which flail more to buy and how big? Will this tractor run a 84” flail or is a 72” better in tight corners. I have a 12 acre field that will need cut.

I've got a Kioti grapple and I like it, but if I hadn't been able to finance it with my tractor I would have gone with an EA Wicked.

 

[tacticalturnip]

That is a nice score; that 40 horsepower is going to absolutely shine.

Sweet, that sucker is clean. Loader bucket has hardly been used!

Regarding grapples. Everyone says the ETA wicked grapple is awesome, and I don't disagree. My 3510 came with one and I was loving it for brush and one log at a time. It is nice and light so you retain maximum loader capacity.

However, I quickly realized that I should sell it and go a different way. The biggest downside was that it can only hold one log at a time, even if it is small. You just can't get underneath a pile of logs and grab more than one, since the bottom teeth are so short. Probably works great at ripping brush roots out of the ground, but that's not my usage.

I had heard good things about MTL (just make sure to call them, don't order blind on the web) and realized they are a crazy good bargain. Under $1200 for a very solid grapple (I went 54" wide) that can hold a lot more at one time than the ETA wicked root grapple can. In my case I ended up profiting $500 to switch to a more capable grapple, no regrets at all. PM me for any more grapple questions if you like.

When ordering a grapple, want to leave as much lift capacity as you can. I highly recommend the Homestead Implement ones. My 72'' which is overkill weights 366#, I would go with a less than 60'' if I'd choose it now.
