kioti ck30

I have a 07 kioti ck30 For some time now, when I turn the ignition key on, the oil/temp lights on the dash will flash rapidly and a relay(which I think I've narrowed down to the 70a relay on the firewall) would click in sequence to the flashing. The flashing/clicking would eventually slow down...

Why Kioti has to make such a secret of the panel lights is beyond me. I have not found the answer via Google, so does anyone know what the light below the headlight display means when on (red)? It is a circle inside with a jagged line across the center.

Adjusted freeplay on my kioti ck30 clutch pedal to an 1” of freeplay , now when I press clutch it feels like a second engagement about an 1”from the floor , tractor goes in gear alright and when I release pedal , seems like it engages in gear at the 1” from floor and goes ahead , more aggressive...

I sold my Yanmar and bought this 2008 Kioti ck30 4x4, my question is on the rear stabilizer bars. Can i change them out for the chain type and also where can i find a complete grill guard frame +/- the inserts? I love this tractor and it's something my wife can handle also. Thanx in advance

Our CK30HST Kioti won't start. I have replaced the ignition switch and charged the battery. When I turn the key the coil light comes on then off, but when I switch the key to the start position after the coil light has gone out, nothing happens. Lights are operating, so I know the battery is...

Hello, New to the forum. How can I figure out if I can add, or what would it take to add a 4 way ( 4 in 1 ) bucket to a 2006 Kioti CK30? Also, any recommendations on manufacturers, or where to buy? Thanks!

I've been having issues over the past year or so with no cranking when the key is turned. As I've commented in a previous thread. Key switch cleaned then finally replaced and still have intermittent issues. Tractor always shedded. I had a friend suggest to tap the relays under the hood and sure...

My 2008 Kioti CK30 wouldn't' start a few weeks ago and I thought it was the ignition/ key switch as I have had issues with it in the past so I ordered a new one. While waiting for it to come in I took apart the old one and cleaned it up to have as a spare. When the new switch came in yesterday I...

Hi folks: I have a 2008 CK30 gear drive that just started having a problem. I was running it when it just started losing power and stopped running. The engine would turn over, but would restart. I let is sit for about 20 minutes (actually went and filled up the tank because it was low on...

I am having a perplexing problem. My 2005 Kioti CK30 (1200 hours) is leaking coolant and try as I might I cannot detect from where. The fan handily disperses the anti-freeze all over so I am stymied. It does not appear to be around the main hoses nor the drain, overflow or tube connecting the...

I need to replace the synchronizers in my CK30. Is this a job that can be done in the barn, or better off left to the dealer?

My CK30 has been getting locked/jammed up in Rev. for a week or so. Sometimes I have to drive in REV a minute and it will Free up and allow me to FWD shift. From what I have been reading, it seems like the Shuttle shift fork might be bent. I have an exploded view of the Trans body and looks easy...

Hi folks: CK30 (2008, gear drive 600+ hours) While operating it yesterday the gear shift lever suddenly became loose. I looked underneath and the pin holding the gear shift lever to a U-shaped bracket was broken. I put a small bolt in the hole just to keep in place temporarily. There also...

Want a cab on new one, so thinking of ck35 with fel and cab. Are new models ok with emission controls, ie reliable? Old girl has had no issues except typical fel cracks at cross beam and oil cooler seam leaked. Been awesome. Have rear blower and back hoe, and box and scraper blade that I...

No power to roof lights

I have a Kioti CK30 that i need a FEL for. Other than the Kioti loader who makes a loader that will fit this tractor? Thanks in advance for any help

Several years ago I purchased a rear remote kit#322026 for my Kioti Ck 30 shuttle shift tractor. The tractor had a Woods Backhoe attached when purchased. The rear remote that was dealer installed required you reach behind the right rear fender and turn a small valve. Since the purchase a stroke...

Before I start tearing into anything, thought I’d ask here first to see if you guys might have had this small problem before. It was working fine then when I filled the tractor up the other day it never moved off of E. Possible wire off? What might be the problem?

My dealer is going out of business and the mechanic (friend) sez my Injection Pump has failed on my 2007 CK30HST w/1500 hrs of quality service. Is there any dealers out there that has a New E5800-51016 InjectionPump Assembly for sale? Could you please call me at 318-640+8619 or 318-229-1470 (c)...

Hey guys. My nephew is getting ready to pull the trigger on a new to him tractor. He's looking at a 2013 CK30 with FEL. 90 hours. Asking price is $15,500. Seems fair correct? From what I've read people seem pretty happy with their Kioti tractors. Lot of good reviews. Any warnings for this...

My battery indicator light came on about the same time I noticed the tractor cranking more slowly. I replaced the battery, but the light is still on. What might cause this? I thought there was a separate alternator indicator light if the charging system was bad.

I'm looking at buying a used Kioti CK30 from a coworker. It's a 2009 or 2010, has about 215 hours. It has the shuttle transmission and front end loader. It comes with a 5' brush hog, cant remember the brand, but looks in good condition and he says it was bought new with the tractor. Tractor...

Good afternoon! New member, but have been reading here of and on for years. I've had my Long 460 for 18 years and it's probable going to be retired and replaced by a new compact diesel with FEL. Currently the Long is out of service and I don't want to put money into a 40-something year old worn...

Hi folks. My Bobcat CT230 (same as the CK30 HST) is bogging down when under load at RPMs over 2k. Air filter is good. Fuel filter replace several times. There's good fuel (drained/replaced three times). Injection system has been bled a couple times. All to no avail... However, I think...

I want to sell my 2006, 4x4 Kioti CK3.0 Tractor with FEL since I no longer have a need for it. It is a 30hp tractor with only 315 hours on it. In excellent condition and has always been stored under cover. I did install an after market cab with heater. Does anyone know what I could get for it? I...

Hello all, from Indian Head, MD - Kioti CK30!

Here are a few pictures of my New Kioti Tractor. It has about 10 hours on it now.

I put this on the Kioti section, too, but both my fuel guage and my temp guage quit working at the same time. Anyone have an idea of a quick diagnosis/fix?

Hello everyone. I bought a new Kioti CK30 manual in order to help me work on 8 acres I own in Mossyrock, Wa. Most of it covered with Alder, and doug fir. In the past, this land had a lumber mill on it and thus has lots of history. It also has lots of stuff buried on it that we dig up from...

I'm back in the market for another tractor and it's been a few years since owning my last kioti. Are the prices really this high? I was quoted $27,500 for a CK30 with FEL and backhoe? That included Kiotis current discounts. The dealer in NH said the tractor listed over 30 k.

Hello all! Long time lurker and first time poster here. In the next two days I will be getting a CK30 or a DK40 both with FEL and BH. The CK35 is not available to me so its out of the question. I like the 40 better due to the dual HST paddles vs the rocker on the 30 (have trouble fitting my...

Has anybody considered moving the key to a different location,,, I seemed to constantly be hitting the key with my knee ,shutting down engine

Hello, ive been reading/learning on here for months and im getting ready to pulling the trigger on a tractor. Ive only looked at the kioti and mahindras in person as they were the only dealerships i know of that are close to where i live. I just recently found a place online thats close that...

The snowblower was on the back of the PTO earlier and no problem. But now that the hydraulics are hooked up to the snowblower it acts like its lurching .I could see it if the auger was turning but not when it's not.the snowblower works good. Could it be air locked hydraulics?

Perhaps a dumb question but I noticed my hydraulic fluid level has decreased after ~28 hours on the tractor. I looked in the manual and it recommends 423/424 and Exxon 560, Donax TD/TD Plus and BP TAACTRAN UTH. These aren't carried by local auto parts stores. One place said they can order a 5...

OK, so I bought a Kioti CK30 with a FEL, box blade and brush hog. On the property is an RV barn that is far from being adequate to house this baby. It's got a dirt/sand floor, multiple ingress and egress places for critters AND the previous owners had a "custom" welded 2 door deal that has about...

Please forgive my ignorance as this is the first tractor, besides a Deere L118 rider mower I ever owned/operated. I went from a few missteps to Triple A proficiency in about 7 tractor hours without leveling block walls (though I did clip one corner that will need repair :mad: ). Ok so, on the...

Owners manual says to "remove the bulb from the housing body" or something like that but not much else. What's the trick guys? Do you twist the back end of the housing body from under the hood or pry it back and forth? My tractor is too good to me for me to break it doing something silly...

I have never had a problem starting my CK30 but today it will not start. It does crank ok so the battery is ok (new). I have checked and bled the fuel line up to bolt #1 in the enclosed picture. or http://2881neches.com/kioti/fuel.jpg. No problem. However, if I lose the fuel line going to the...

Hello, I've got a kioti ck30, 2007 I think, that sat for over a year and now will not start. It cranks over fine but won't fire. I did not run it out of fuel but It was low when I parked it so I added more fuel. I want to bleed the fuel lines but I didn't get a manual with the unit and I've read...

Hey all, I have a ck30 with about 114 hours. When I place the bucket down on a flat surface, it evenly touches the ground. Now when I go to pick up a load of loam, gravel, rocks, the right side of the loader seems to pick up first, then the left side will start picking up. Anyone have any...

Does anyone here have any issues with paint peeling or flaking off on the ledge in front of the seat. My machine was purchased in Dec 2013 and only have 10 hours which was used for snow blowing. How did I find that out well I was hosing off the tractor in front of the seat I noticed orange...

Hi everyone hope someone can help me out here. I bought a new Kioti CK 30 hst with front mount snowblower. It is now the time to take it off and I am not sure how to do it. The dealer showed me two mounting pins on the subframe that you take off to release the undercarriage/blower in one piece...

So last June my tractor was running just fine. I shut it off and when I went to start it again it would just turn over. I found out the fuel gauge wasn't working and realized it was out of fuel. I added diesel and then turned it to air to bleed the lines. now almost a year later the tractor is...

I'm looking into purchasing a backhoe for my ck30 tractor. Dealer gave me a price of 7000 out the door. How does this price compare to others? My other question is how good does it work on a small tractor like I have? I don't want to buy this and find out that its slow or not powerful enough...

Hello everyone. Long time lurker first time poster. Ive finally decided to take the plunge and buy a respectable tractor. Was originally looking at a new Cs2410 new but stumbled upon the following: 2012 Bobcat CT230 Quick release FEL 110 hrs Kubota 4590 3pt backhoe Still under warranty for a...

When snow blowing with front mounted blower sometimes have trouble steering when blower catches snow bank on the edge of the road . With my old geared tractor I would touch the left or right brake to correct direction, however with the HST this disconnects the cruise control ,,I haven't had...

First of all, Hello everyone. I am new to the list and I am currently looking to purchase my first tractor. I was wondering about the differences between these two machines? I have a chance at the ds offered for $15k with a bucket. Shuttle and PTO type are what I am referring to...

I own a 2006 Kioti CK30 tractor and it doesn't want to start most times. I did find a mouse nest under the engine hood and removed it. There were no mice in the nest although there was at one time. They managed to chew the outer casing from one of the two wires leading from what appears to be...

I was all set on purchasing a Kioti CK30 or Mckormick X.30 (same tractor) and I ran into a Bobcat CT230 being auctioned off from an out of state dealer going out of bussiness. Needles to say I got the tractor for a steal. (For a different post, bobcat claims it is not covered under warranty...

I picked up my CK30 HST yesterday from Littles Tractor in Metropolis, IL. I got there and was filling out paperwork while they put the tractor new Rhino 60"bush hog and a set of pallet forks. Everything was very smooth and the tractor was ok except for a few small scratches on the bucket and...

I apologize if this has already been discussed on this forum, but I wasn't able to find the thread. I released the parking brake on my Kioti CK30 tractor and the light on the dash remained on. I checked to make sure the brakes are set correctly and all is well. I also checked any connections...

Hello, new member here and was hoping to get some feedback a recent quote. CK30 HST Ag tires KL130 Loader KB2475 Backhoe 2 rear remotes Rimgueard loaded rear tires Quoted $22,600 + tax It seems a fair price to me but welcome any thoughts others might have. I should add I live in northwestern...

Hello all, The title says it all. I have a chance to buy a slightly used Danuser or a new Speeco Post hole digger. Our soil is mostly clay, loam and shale. But I think that the auger bit will be decided by the soil type. Thoughts or suggestions? Thanks Gene

Double post, please delete.

Okay, disregard my prior post, the CK20 went back to the dealer with issues. Now I have narrowed my decision to either a new Kioti CK30 or a new Yanmar EX2900. The weight, lifting capacities, hydro pumps on the Kioti are all bigger. Both come with a FEL, the kioti is a gear shift where as the...

It looks like my JD 1070 is going to be sold so now I have to figure out what the replacement is going to be. I had narrowed my choices to 3; Kubota B3200, Kioti CK30, and Massey Ferguson 1529. I drove the Massey today and ruled it out...the ergonomics were just all wrong for me. The B3200...

I've never tried this, but thought I'd like to so I can get into some tight spaces in my woods when clearing and making plots. Is this a pain in the ***** to do?

Hi everyone, new guy here. I'm going to take the plunge this month and get a CUT. I had an afternoon at the local dealer this weekend to look at both the Boomer 30 and CK30. They have almost the same specs, weigh the same, felt the same, and after incentives, both were around $17.5K. That was...

So the loader for my tractor is a KL130. I spoke with a dealer out here who is not Kioti and he knows a man who has a old new loader (it's been sitting but was never used apparently) unfortunately that loader is a KL1450... So anyone know if it would work? I could probably get it for $1500. I...

I have a 2006 CK30. I need to change fluids. Not sure from the manual as written, but from inspection is the Hydraulic fluid and filter the same as the transmission? I believe it is for the HST model, is that the case for gear as well? Also can I get the Universal Hydraulic fluid from...

Greetings All, I'm excited to be a part of this forum and to learn a lot more about the proper use and maintenance of my tractor. I was lurking on this site for several months before I bit the bullet and bought my CK from Nolts Power Equipment in Shippensburg, PA. Great dealership experience...

Hi all, newbie here....I found a couple good deals on the the tractors I mentioned above. the ck30 is used with 250 hours on it and has ag tires. The cub cadet is basically new with under 50 hours and has R-4 tires. I know these tractors are different in respect to the tranny and tires. We...

As near as I can tell, these are the exact same tractor except for the engine. I've been looking at the CK30 but my dealer is suggesting the CK28 to save money. He says the difference in performance is negligible. Will 2 HP make a difference in performance? He also told me that Kioti is...

I just changed my Hydro/hydraulic fluid and used Mobil hydraul synthetic blend fluid,changed both filters (used Bobcat filters) as I have no dealer nearby. When I first changed the fluids all seemed well but last night I used it a bit and noticed my hydrostatic foot pedal was sticking when going...

My polycarbonate water trap developed fine fractures all over it after about 3 years and started leaking through. The replacement was obviously an upgraded material as it was slightly opaque compared to the original and is not so easy to see through. If this is a recogonized problem, why...

I noticed a small puddle under the tractor today. My front axle oil has apparentley been leaking. It must have just happened because this is the first time I noticed the puddle where I park the tractor. It took two liters to fill the front axle up to the check hole. Total capacity is 4.5...

Hmm, I posted this first in the general buying forums, but then I realized it might be more appropriate here. I am shopping for a small tractor for general use on my hilly, 20 acre, 1/2 wooded property. I foresee light logging, driveway maintenance, snow removal, landscaping in my future. I...

I am shopping for a small tractor for general use on my hilly, 20 acre, 1/2 wooded property. I foresee light logging, driveway maintenance, snow removal, landscaping in my future. I have never owned a small tractor, but used farm tractors growing up. I have read many, many posts on this...

I have 40 acres in NC mountains with 8-10 acres flat land to mow, a 1/4 mile gravel driveway to maintain, and food plots that require a trip up pretty steep logging roads with a mower or tiller. I also will get a FEL for hauling firewood and trash mostly. Is the Kioti too heavy to get up steep...

I have 40 acres in NC mountains with about 8-10 acres grass to cut, food plots to maintain, and a 1/4 mile gravel driveway to maintain. most of the grass to cut is flat land but the food plots require a trip up some pretty steep logging roads with either a mower or a tiller. Also plan on using a...

I have found both machines for essentially the same price. I know the views here are slanted toward a particular shade of orange, but could you Kioti owners tell me why I should go your way. Any advice/encouragement would be appreciated!

Trying to make the decision on what width and weight box scraper to use with a Kioti CK30 with FEL and R4 tires (tires not loaded). The box scraper will be used as a rear ballast for the FEL as well. The rear R4 tires are just under 66 inches wide so expect a 66 would be the smallest width...

Any one have an estimate (or better yet a load cell, strong chain, and a fixed attachment point to test). Wondering how much hitch pulling force a Kioti CK30 HST with a FEL, Box blade, and R4s would do on level grass covered ground. The estimated weight would be around 4600 pounds (3100...

And this thing is truly awesome!!! It is my first tractor so I am taking it slow but the little that I have done today has saved me days upon days of manual labor. Ever since the power company buried lines to my shop the drainage off the road was non-existent and would wash out every rain...

Have been lurking here for a bit and finally bought my first tractor after 6 years of thinking about it. I am sure I will have some questions/comments after it's delivered tomorrow and I use it a bit. I decided to go with Kioti mainly due to the dealer being just up the road a bit and I like to...

I plan to buy a used 60" woods backblade for my 2008 ck30. Are backblades universal? How do i know if it fits my tractor? Thanks. Ed

I am looking at a Kioti CK30 tractor. Unfortunately, under a load, the loader starts to come down. Without a load, it drifts down a little bit. Any ideas on what the causes are and approximate cost to fix?

I've been looking at these 2 tractors and can't decide which one. I was wondering if the 5-6Hp difference makes that much of a difference. The CK30 is rated 30hp, and L3400 is 35.7HP. The CK dimensions make it a little bit bigger, and heavier by 500lbs. Which is what got me worried. The CK...

Been getting a lot of great advice with our CK30 tractor on the forum here. So have another question, I did some searching on the website and came up a little empty. The CK30 Air filter, is it better to have both the inner and outer filters? I am in the process of doing maintance and notice that...

Can someone please explain what the differences are between the CK30 and LK30 tractors. I'm in the process of hoping to buy a ck30 from wallace in the near future.. Any info is appreciated. Chris aka Rogue

Hi, I am new to the forum. I originally posted this in the wrong forum, sorry for the mistake. I'm looking for some help on a price I was quoted. The tractor I'm looking at is a 2010 Kioti ck30 manual gear tractor with a kl 130b FEL w/quick attach bucket and a kb2475 backhoe attachement...

I bought the Workshop manual (rev DEC 2004) when I bought my tractor back in 05. It covers the CK25/CK30. I am about to open up the 3-pt cylinder housing on my Bobcat CT230 and I notice that Chapter 9 (Hydraulics) ends with page 9-54. There seems to be some areas about the position control...

Hey guys, I have a 2005 CK 30 HST with the Kioti loader and aprox 140 hours. I am selling my land in VT but still would like a little tractor for my new house in boston. My ck 30 has been garaged all it's life and is in living in my sister-in-laws house in VT. Should I just list it for...

Just received my new CT230. I still can hardly believe the price.... Under $12.5K for tractor, including bobtach 7TL FEL, AG tires, and single AUX remote valve. Delivered, including 9% sales tax. That is considerably less than I paid for my 2005 CK30 with more expensive R4 tires and no QA FEL...

Hi All, What is the best RPM for general tasks such as digging with backhoe, FEL use and just traveling around the property? My user manual doesn't shed any light on this. Thanks

I'm so pleased to have found this forum!!! I felt alone with my Kioti but so happy to know there is a healthy following. I got my used Kioti yesterday with only 50 hrs on it. Really impressed so far. Would like to know where to get service and parts. I'm in CT. - - - -

Hey everyone, been monitoring the forum for awhile and now have a couple questions. I am looking into purchasing a Kioti CK30 Gear tractor. Has really low hours and is like new, guy took really good care of it. Wondering on a good price point? Has the KL130 loader and a brushog. I have been...

Bought a second hand CK30 with 215 hrs. on the clock. It had been standing for several months unused in the UK outside. When it was collected by the transporters an oil leak developed from the enfgine. When it arrived here in the south of France. I topped it up and started it to get it off the...

I thought that I would post a few pics of my new CK30 (gear) with FEL, KB2475 backhoe and loaded tires. I've had it for a few weeks now but have not had a chance to work with it much (only a couple of hours thus far)--so not a whole lot of feedback to share with you yet. The other models I had...

After giving up a year ago I am now much closer to actually buying a tractor. Loader work is what it will be for, snow, manure, 500lb round bales. I have narrowed it down to either a Kioti CK30 or Kubota L3400. Have tested both, no preference (HST). Have read a TON of reviews and overall...

Hi to all. I have been lurking for some time on the TBN collecting information for my eventual tractor purchase. I finally pulled the trigger on a new CK30 w/fel. I think that the Kioti offers the most bang for the buck of any tractor out there. I plan on using it to maintain .6 miles of private...

My CK30 Fuel Gauge always reads full, if it was always filled I'd be pleased, but it is just stuck. Is this something I can easily tackle? Pointers? Thanks, Mark

Hey guys I am considering the Bro-tek thumb for some light log/rock work. Light meaning under 500 lbs ;) They currently have the dimensions for the 2375 loader, and I see the bro-tek is a hit elsewhere on this forum, but wanted to see if anyone had any specific experience on the CK/DK series...

Hi: I recall at one time someone posted the makes and cross reference numbers of air filters for the CK30. The manufacturers were Donaldson,Wix,Fram and there was one other as well.I don't know how to do a search in the archives. Does anyone have this information? Thanks

I've got a new CK30 HST with about 9 hours on it and the HST shifter is a problematic. I find that 50% of the time I can't shift from low to medium (let alone high) -- basically the shifter doesn't always want to budge from the current gear to the next. Most of the time, if I move the...

I am now up to 250 hours on my CK30 gear and the dealers mechanic told me today I should change the hydraulic fluid filter.Anyone out there got any do's and don'ts tips on this?Is the best way to get clean containers and drain all the fluid or try and "do it on the fly" and replace fluid lost...

Someone recently suggested turning the air filter housing so the intake didn't come from right on top of the battery. Just remove one of the housing strap bolts completely to rotate the housing. Put it pointing front/downward at about 45 degrees; if you point it straight toward the front or...

...saw orange tractors parked at a horseshow in Grants Pass Oregon, drove in and looked. Kioti? Researched them for a week, liked the comparisons with other brands and prices, and lurked here awhile to read owners' comments. Went back to the dealer Runaway Tractors, test drove what he had and...

hi, what nomenclature would i use to ask for quick connects to fit into the standard kioti remote kit on the back of the ck30? thanks mike

Well here is a picture of my wife getting the feel of our pretty new orange tractor. So far (5 hours) it has been and unstopable brute, with both the FEL and Tiller. The wife really loves just how easy everything is to operate and how much work and time it saves cleaning out the barn. The...

New here and it search of a new tractor. Our old ford has out lived its days and we need something a bit bigger. Have looked a just about every tractor in the 25-35hp class and have come to a choice between the Kioti and Kubota.....Guess I like orange.......:D Well color really isn't it, the...

I just bought a new CK30 with FEL and backhoe. Has HST and ag tires with filled rears. I love the tractor but am a little surprised at the lack of low end torque with the HST. I had used my neighbors Kubota L2900 for a few days before making the Kioti purchase and the Kubota, with same setup...

Does anyone know of the cross numbers for the air filter on a Ck30? I don't have any Kioti dealers near me. Thanks

Just wanted to say hello to all the fellow Kioti owners out there. I just last month had a ck30 delivered which by the way is my first tractor. Already has 38 hours and the only mistake I have made is not having bought one years and years ago. All the projects I have always wanted to accomplish...

There is a no-reserve CK30 on Ebay, starting at $12K, no reserve. In Detroit area. I can't remember ever seeing a CK30 on Ebay.

Took delivery of my new CK30 gear plus 5' landpride rotary cutter and landpride rear 3 way blade last Friday. Already showing 12 hours on the meter (must have had 3-4 on it when delivered) when I put it to bed last night. I hope I got a loader out of a good batch because she's been put to...

I went tractor shopping yesterday and was quoted $13,340. for a Kioti CK30 4WD Gear transmission tractor and a different dealer quoted $11,700 for the similar NH TC30. No implements or additional equipment. I believe these quotes are MSRP. Both dealers are reputable. The only differences I...

I finished all 50 hr items on my ck30 except fuel filter replacement. The manual has a bleed procedure of running for 30 seconds with the fuel petcock on "air", shutting down, and restarting with the petcock at the "on" or open position. Problem is the kioti tech mentioned that there is a valve...

Dogeram, This is what worked for mine to get it to read correctly. Dash gauge starts to move after @ 2 gallons and at 1/4 tank reading, I need almost 6 gallons to fill. The bottom section of the float arm is parallel to the top plate when viewed from its side and the arm is in the up or full...

long time reader of the forum but first time poster...great forums! In the Kioti brand I'm looking at the 25 vs the 30, HST with FEL, backhoe, PH digger, brush hog. I'd appreciate feedback on the brands and sizes of the attachments..I'm a first time newbie.. not a sucker though... I've got...

Kioti CK30 HST or John Deere 3320 CK 30, loader, backhoe, Sims Cab, chains, industrial tires or 3320, loader, cab, chains, industrial tires and a backhoe except I can't have the cab and backhoe. Really want the JD cab (wow) but really need a backhoe. Kioti or JD?

I had a previous thread in this section tabout the loader failre with pictures of stress cracks leading away from the four corners of the cutout for the access door into the loader crossbrace. My tractor is under warranty and so I took it to the original selling dealer for him to fix it. He...

Now at 102 hours on my CK30 I want to change the fuel filter instead of cleaning it with kerosene as suggested in my owner's manual.I went to the dealer and the dealership owner gave me a filter P/N 84612-4316-0 .It sure looks way too small for my tractor.The owner is not as familiar with the...

A while back, some members mentioned that their fuel gauges on their CK's were malfunctioning. I was glad mine worked but that lasted for about the first ten hours. Mine would read full after filling the tank but after a hour or so, it would read anywhere from full to empty and never the same...

Does anyone have a contact where I can order these items by mail, phone or internet? I live a ways from my dealer and was hoping to simplify the process. Thanks in advance for any help

I posted in the Kioti forum a few days ago asking if Kioti tractors are built in China and if they are a inexpensive Kubota knockoff. When I went back the post was gone. I guess that was the wrong forum so I will try here. I am considering a larger tractor. In my shopping for a new tractor I...

It appears the ground clearance of the DK35 is lower than the ground clearance for the CK30.Is that a reason not to buy the DK 35? Is it a problem? It would be used for pasture mowing, pushing manure, moving snow, etc. It has to be able to get across a somewhat rough stream crossing. thanks

I just found this forum. I am to go in and do the paperwork tomorrow on a CK30 and have it delivered tomorrow. After reading these posts- I am having buyer's remorse prior to buying. Am I paying too much for the mid-atlantic area? I will be paying 17,950 for a CK30 HST, FEL, 5ft BH with the...

When I last emailed you I was having problems with my new hst getting power from the engine to the tires. Little push/pull, no tire spin. I put 15 hours on the tractor and it did not get any better so I called the dealer. He put it up against a small stump in the grass and it would not spin 2...

CK30 SS delivered last Wednesday night just before it started raining in N. Florida. It had been checked and re-checked by the dealer. Dealer even checked it again with me and spent well over an hour with hands on training. Also purchased Kioti FEL, Woods Box Blade and Woods Rotary Cutter...

The dealer in Sneedville TN quoted 15,900 w/ag tires & Kioti loader. $16,500 w/ID tires. I was kinda leaning more towards the industrial tires until i saw the price. Maybe the dealers here could let me know if that price difference is normal. Thanks...........! Whoops...this is a HST i am...

I guess I wanted the experiece and didn't want to spend the 1500 bucks to have some one else to do it. I did finely rent a bobcat for the weekend to move the dirt faster while dad ran the bobcat. I took a week to do it. the size of the hole is about 55X28. finished at 26X50. about 7 days...

Question for diesel experts out there. My '76 Mercedes has a monstrous type of fuel filter very thick and HD. Other diesel filters I've seen are big also. Why does the Kioti have a gasoline-like thin filter? Could it use another filter in line with this one? Mike

Heres another observation or two: I found on the factory air filter theres a Donaldson part # P822768. Normally I'd get factory Kioti, but obviously air flitter is made elsewhere anyhow. So I looked online and found www.filtersupplyamerica.com and found the # a bit cheaper in my case. It got me...

Am lucky to have 4 Kioti Dealers close by in N. Florida and S. Georgia. The closest is 12 minutes away. The price difference between the dealers was more than I expected. A CK25 at one dealer will cost as much as a CK30 at another. I guess my question is, do i deal with them like car...

I work for a large wholesale nursery and we have over 120 compact tractors, mostly Kubota's and a few John Deere's and a lonely Kioti (old). We used to have about 20 Kioti's but we got rid of them as we could not get parts to maintain them, if we could get them it could take months for them to...

Have been saving for years and want a new shuttle shift compact 4x4 in 25hp to 30hp range, with FEL. Found a CK30 and LK3054 at seperate nearby dealers. I believe specs on CK30 are better, but LK3054 is $1000 less. Need tractor clearing woods at home and at South Georgia hunting property.

After much debate, I finally made the choice and purchased a CK30HST w/FEL and 2365 BH . It got delivered a week ago and I've been so busy using it that I already have 10 hours on it without even lookin in on TBN. After digging an embankment out with the FEL, dragging brush and logs into piles...

It's crunch time! Kioti Ck30 w/HST or Century C35 Gear? I will be getting FEL, BH among other things. I will semi clearing ( taking out small trees and brush) about 10 acres, cutting in a long driveway, site work for a house and a barn and a whole lot of other things! HST very easy to operate...

Hello, I am in the market for a CK30 HST with FEL, I was quoted 17,300 by local dealer. Does this sound fair ? Thanks.

Been trying to post this for a few days- think I've got it figured out thanks to KIotiJohn

here are some pics of my pretty new CK30 cutting hay for the first time. I gave up waiting on the tiller and BH to get in and brought it home. I picked up an IH belt drive mower for $50.00 and Dad and I spent a day cleaning it up and lubeing it and to get the spring on the bottom worked...

Being in the virtual countdown to finalizing my long pondered tractor search,I believe I am going to go for a CK30 gear. Could anyone offer their opinion on how close a CK25 comes to this model regarding rotary cutting,FEL etc. There is a fair difference in price.($2000 Cdn/apx $1300-1400...

I have been reasearching and have come up with these 2 tractors. I can get the MF 1428 for 14,500 with the FEL. I have not gotten a quote on the ck300. Any advice would be helpful and what would be a good price for either one of these tractors.

Need a trailer for my ck30. Am going with an 18' car hauler w/elect brakes. But want to get the d-rings etc put on by the mfg/dealer. So, I'd like to take advantage of you guys experiance once again. There are many optionals here. Any you'd have put on...

What's the significance of the red triangle on the tach? Is that a redline ,not to be exceeded? What RPM do you gentleman usually run yours at?

Not feeling bad after reading the lenght of time it took for some people here to figure out what tractor they want. I've been looking around for the past three months, and am leaning toward a Kioti CK30HST or Kubota L3130HST. Kitoi for just the tractor around mid 13,000, the Kubota is about...

I have been checking out several makes of Compact Utility tractors and the CK30 seems like a real nice package.It will do 90% of what I want to with ease.Could someone advise me whether it would be capable of doing a little plowing and harrowing as well? Mind you I'm talking about taking the...

Here it is posing at the water falls. This picture came out pretty bad. I'll ck into it.

Drove all three side by side this am. Went away sold on the 30 HST. The 25HST engine was rougher/louder and seems to bog in High even without anything on the 3pt. The 30 Gear was more trouble than I wanted, although it probably would put more power to the ground than the 30HST. I like the 30...

I am ready to buy a CUT and need some input into my decision. I have narrowed it down to two models, but not having very much experience with tractors, especially new CU tractors, I thought I would turn to the industry experts: The end users…… I have a log home on 5 acres. It is all rolling...

I\'m going to purchase a Kioti ck30. I was wonder what all your thoughts were? This is the configuration. CK30HST Rhino BK 84 KL130 loader Canopy Pads for the hoe rear work lights Thanks Glen

I was about to go for the CK30HST when my Kubota dealer told me about the 2005 HST on the L2800DT and the L3400DT. The specs are really close on these 3. Has any one here had a chance to try out the L3400HST yet?

Went to several dealers and this is what I got. Both with FEL. Kioti CK30 HST = $16,300 versus Kubota L3130 HST = $17,400 - gear $16,300 This seems to be very close in price. I thought Kioti was supposed to be a lot cheaper!!!!

I was ready to order the Kubota L3130 until I visited the Kioti dealer yesterday. My use is mowing on flat pasture as well as rolling hills, driveway maint, snow plow, general cleanup of limbs/trees, and corral cleanup. Any suggestions? The Kioti is $3,000 less than the Kubota.... As I read...

First post to the site and have been having great fun soaking up all the stuff from the forums in the Kioti section. I was in the process of spec'ing out a Blue tractor TC 33 or 35 when my small country dealer was visited by a "new sales rep" yes you guessed it right KIOTI. After a visit to...

Getting delivery tomorrow of CK30HST, with FEL, 6' snowblower, cab... Can't wait to use it. I actually can't wait for snow to get here. Reading a lot of info on this site was a great help with my decision. Thanks to all who answered questions i had. Seb.

My question may be a little premature as I realize the CK30's have not hit the streets yet and the 3054XS is pretty new. I am wondering why, other than looking at the comparison information on the KiotiTractor website, someone would want to purchase one model over the other? I currently have...

I have just returned from the Louisville, Kentucky Farm Show. Spent some time with Kioti's newest release, a protoype version of the CK30 HST. Took several pictures and will be sharing those with you over the next day or two. I will include some of my thoughts and observations. One...
