CK20-25-30 Side by side

[KiotiJohn]

Here they are together for the first time. I wanted to be able to show the size difference in the 20 and the other two.
I also tried out the CK30 yesterday for the first time. Wow! what a tractor. I only used the loader in a well packed pile of dirt, but I made sure I dug in enough to try to stop the tractor, but it just started spinning the wheels, the HST didn't pop the relief valve, it just kept trying to GO GO GO. The engine is very smooth, and sounds much quieter than my CK20. All in all, I'm VERY impressed with this beauty as I was with the CK25, but hands down, if I were going to buy right now, the CK30 wins. First pic, Front side by side. John

There sure is a definate size difference between the two sizes. Seeing that first picture of the CK's side by side makes me think of the old Plymoth Neon commercials where they would show the front of the car and "Hi" would appear. They should all have "Hi" above them inside the ROPS. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Some people take offense at your use of the term, but I know that it's an endearment in Australia, so I don't care.
Others however, may not be pleased! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
The Zetor appears to be a pretty good used tractor. I don't know much about it though, as I was too busy taking the pics of the Kioties. John

Thanks for the pic's John. Nice size and not as large as I thought they would be. Now I just wish they would get them up our way.

Cool pics John. It's great to be able to compare them side by side. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I'm glad you came up with the same impression of the CK30 I did. After using a 21hp tractor I was not prepared for the shear power of the thing. Bucket use that used to require teeth on the bucket is now done easily with out. I do have a set but now only use them when necessary.

John, sounds like your a very happy Kioti owner...I've priced a Kubota and just don't want to spend that much. My use is really limited tp personal use around yard. Had a JD 950 for 18 yrs and only put 800 hrs on it..The only thing is I may go with the hydro instead of gear..

Hey Al. Yes, I was pleasantly surprised at what the CK30 will do. When I tried it out with the loader, it didn't have a toothbar either and did a great job. However, I would still use a toothbar on it as it just increases the utility so much. I take mine off and on as it's much easier to do leveling/backdragging without the toothbar on.

Pete, yes I do really enjoy my CK20HST. On that model, I would indeed only want the HST as the manual does not have a shuttle, nor an independent PTO. I would like it enough to buy if it had a shuttle shift. If I decide to add a tractor it will probably be a DK45 cab with the synchronized shuttle. John
