Comparison CK25

[GMtb42]

I found a CK25 for a good price and was wondering about the Injector Pump problem and FEL cracking, it is a 2006 year model, don't know serial number.
Is there a serial number range that should be looked out for, if so range number?
Also found a Cub Cadet in the same range Yanmar EX3200, better rig, better choice?

I have a 2006 CK25. My pump failed at 300 hours. Kioti replaced it. Loader, look at model number KL130B is the new style. KL130 is the one that cracks. Easy to tell. If loader crossmember passes all the way through the arms as a round pipe, it's the new loader and not prone to cracking. Ask the owner about the injector pump to see if he has changed it out. Most fail aroun 200 to 350 hours, I think.
