CK20 observations?

Anonymous Poster · Feb 21, 2003

As I near the end of my tractor search, it looks more and more like the CK20 will be my tractor of choice. It's got the hydrostatic transmission, independent PTO, and the weight of a bigger tractor. Plus it looks really cool. Any idea what the price of the CK20 with FEL might be? Should I expect the dealer to be unwilling to deal on a brand new product like this?

I have received a couple of prices for the tractor. The CK20H prices I have are from $9,600 to $10,500.
Hope that helps.

Bigoldbooger,,, Love that name!!

Good choice!! You are also a smart feller for factoring the weight of the tractor. To me, the weight of a tractor is a big concern,,,, (if you ain't got anuff ****, you ain't gonna get it done) that is where weight comes in. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Hope you get one.

We are a Kioti dealer and our pricing should be in that range or lower for the CK20--Expecting arrival of first shipment of the CK20 soon.-Ken Sweet

I was quoted $10,500 for the HST version by my dealer. Would anyone care to contrast the CK20 to the Kubota B7500HST? This is what my final decision appears to be.

The differences between the Kioti CK20 and the Kubota B7500 as I see them are:

CK20
Has Position Control
Has Rear Hydraulic hook up standard
Has a Front, Mid and Rear PTO
Mid and rear PTO can be operated independently of each other with two seperate controls.
3 Point lift - 1109#
FEL
Curved Arm Loader
Lift height about 84" (official loader specs not published yet)
Great visibility over the sloped hood and curved arm loader
Joystick mounted next to the seat

Weight - 1993#

B7500
No Position Control
Not sure if hydraulic hook ups are an option
Mid and rear PTO - operates off of one control - the options are Rear PTO or Mid and Rear PTO (from my understanding when using a MMM both the mid PTO and the rear PTO turn)

3 Point lift - 1058#
FEL
Lift height - 69.5" (LA302)
Joy stick mounted on loader framework

Weight - 1367#

Wow, I guess it's a no-brainer then! Thanks for the info! I have gone back and forth to the Kioti and Kubota websites trying to compare and contrast the two. But they way you wrote it makes it ever so clear. Kioti wins!
