CK20 vs LB1914

[djt]

Hi, I have been lurking for a while on this site and hopefully am getting close to pulling the trigger on a compact tractor. I had decided the CK20 was the best fit for my needs and price range, but I have seen the adds on the Kioti website for the 1914 for under $10,000. Any thoughts on the differences between the two models. Thanks again for all the information.

The CK20 is a bit easier to get on and off with the flat floor, and has new styling. the LB1914 is an older design, but has 8x8 shuttle shift. engines are same. the 1914 with loader at $9995 is a great buy right now. warraty used to be one year shorter, but now all Kiotis have 4 year warranty. The loader on the 1914 seems a bit heavier as well, although not a sleek. But the tractor will last many years so get the one you like! drive both and see which is the better fit.

Also the gearbox is synchronized on the LB1914, but the CK20 is avialable with HST.

I ended up buying the CK20 after going thru the same decision making process. The LB1914 would have saved me $1200, but the wide open floor design, extra horsepower, better hydraulics, and the fact that the dealer did not have a 1914 on the lot , sold me on the CK.
