CK25 or CK30

Yes. But not for a tractor.

My shopping around for a Kioti led me to Van Pamel. Had a better quote over the phone than every other qoute I recieved, internet quotes included. I didn't bother to haggle with the price and delivery was less than 1 week and they actually called to let me know they could deliver it a day early if I was available (y works schedule suddenly cleared up). Cant say enough good things about them. He led to to cheaper implements saying I didn't need so much for my certain uses and things like that. I haven't had to have the machine serviced yet for any reasons so I cant comment on that part of the operation. Good luck in your search! BTW, I absolutely would not even consider the CK25 for the difference in price, but than again I am biased an absolutely love my CK30 /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I test drove a CK25HST today, they didn't have a 30. I was impressed, when I get ready to move I'm pretty sure the 30 will be the one I go with. Was quoted 13,900 for the 25, and 15,100 for the 30 with FEL. The dealer was pushing me toward a Branson though, 28hp shuttle with FEL, Brush Hog, and box blade for 15,9.

If you are considering Branson Shuttle, why not compare with Kioti Shuttle? It will be around $1000 less than the HST and you still get all the extra features of the KIOTI.

I think I'll stay with HST for my uses, I'll be working in heavily wooded areas clearing brush mostly.
