CK20 TLB and Cab

echovalley · Dec 6, 2005

I have just sold my massey2310TLB[nice little machine]I would like to go a little bigger[but is has to fit in the garage]My question is can you put the new woods 70series backhoe on the CK20 with the cab?Any pics.Also what are the pros and cons of the kioti loader and the woods loader.I need about 900#s of lift and 88+ height and 70+ for total dump height to load my truck and take my sanders off.The factory kioti loader is pretty close[wish they still had the 54' bucket option].Will the woods loader[maybe the 1008 series?] work with the factory kioti controler?Last ? are they coming out with a steel door option for the cab soon.Looking to purchase in the next couple of weeks.
Thanks

Echo, in my view there is not that much difference between the GC2310 and CK20, I tried them both, the reason I say this is, after reading your post I think you would be better off with the CK30...cag

You do know that the cab on a CK20 will have to be a aftermarket cab.
Yes you can put the new Woods 7000 on it with a cab.
I would take the Kioti loader, You can not put the 1008 loader on it. It would have to be the 1006 and the kioti loader towers over the Woods.
If you did want the Woods loader. Yes the controller is compatible with it.
The 54" bucket is still available, it is a option.
It does not look like they have the hard doors yet.
(If the cab will hold the weight I will fab a metal door on it)
What state are you from?

Hey I'm from CT[nortwestern]I understand it would be from cabdepot.By the pics it looks to be a pretty nice cab.Is the woods 4pt mount as strong as the kioti full frame mount?Also glad to here I can still get the 54' bucket

In my opinion it is stronger

I live in Canton, CT. I'v been looking at some Kioti tracktors and was curios what dealers you had been dealing with and how they have treated you? .

I bought mine up here in Maine at www.BatchelderSales.com and was treated great. I am very happy with my decision. I see more and more dealers in the NH/ME area everyday. The word is getting out. You can read about my experience here
You can also see pics of my CK20 with FEL/BH/Cab and snowblower here

Good Luck with the purchase.

I did speak with the new dealer in Canton[very nice guy].But I am sold on the new woods 70series hoe.And would prefer to buy from a dealer that has the experience to install the cab and options I am looking for.

Sorry, I really don't have any great snowblower pics yet. But fear not, tommorow brings a good sized snowstorm. I will have pics and vids of the snowblower in use. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
I just put it on tonight.
