CK20 TLB and Cab

[echovalley]

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

hi echo
r u totally sold on the ck20 have u looked at the tym t230 which is currently coming into the market. if u check the lift cap on the tym Humpolec loader is almost double that of the ck20. i am looking at becoming a dealer between kioti & tym. i will make my final chose next week when i look at the new k2 tractors by tym. they r the t230 & the t270. what i like about the tym (Pronounced TIM) for another $500.00 u can get it in the color u like and the humpolec loader. i currently have a tym in my rental fleet for the past year, everybody that rents it loves it. the down side tym to kioti is name awareness and a more complete line. tym has built tractors for mahindra for years and scorpion but scorpion did a poor job with this tractor, so tym is going to start in jan 2006 to sell them and set up dealers.

I'm interested in why you think the Woods mount is stronger than the Kioti/subframe. In looking as some photos people posted of the Woods subframe it is clearly not as massive nor box built like the Kioti. I am not a metal worker and don't know the correct terminology but it sure looks like the Kioti "sub frame" is as heavily built as the tractor frame itself. Why should a Woods frame that does not incorporate the "box" frame material be stronger?
