[Bikeman111]

Hello all.First post for newbie here.Have enjoyed reading here for months now.Ready to pull the trigger soon on one of these units.Used 2008 kioti ck 20 hst,front loader,3 point hitch, 680 hours.Price Canadian at $14900 plus tax(some wiggle room.Or a used 2008 Kubota bx25s with loader and backhoe for same price,but at $1300 hours.Intended use is light snow removal and general useage,with an eye on odd jobs on the side.Both machines at nearby dealerships.

I have a CK20 but gear not HST, it has been a solid machine, I have the backhoe and rear snowblower, it does move snow but I hated the snow blowing back at me, for that reason I got a bobcat with snowblower, summer it gets used for grass, moving the odd pile and grading

Both good machines for light use from good makes. Choose which used machine is in better condition. If both are about equal in condition, the Kioti is a slightly bigger machine. That may or may not be desired, depending on what your situation might be.

You would be better comparing the bx 25 to a koiti cs 2510. now that is apples to apples.
