2009 vs 2008 CK

Yota_85 · Oct 16, 2009

Is there any difference between lasts years (2008) CK30/35 and this years? (2009)
Not counting the loader difference. (the newer style KL130)

Found a dealer that has an older 2008 Kioti, and was wondering if the the tractor alone is the same as the newer ones.

I'm pretty sure those two are the same. Maybe one of the dealers will pop in to confirm.

No recent engine changes or loader changes. Still the same number of cup holders too.

The only significant difference is in the Front L<oaders avalable. The 2009 KL130 Loaders have the Universal Skid Steer Carrier available with a larger bucket.

The only change in the tractor is the color. The chasis color changed from the light gray to the charcoal gray.

.

Forgot about that. The QA adapter is a very nice feature and would be worth having. I'm sure it's possible to get one either from Kioti or aftermarket but the aftermarket ones go for $500-700+.

Yeah, it has a Woods LC102 loader on it, but the CK35 is a 2008 model.

Just wondering if there were any "issues" with the actual tractor, similar to the cracked loaders of the past.

Thanks for the replies.

You guys really are helping tremendously.
