Congrats on your new machines! Perhaps you can help me out here though - I just looked up Kioti's website to find out more about that tractor, and I'm puzzled. What does this mean:

Ordered a CK 4020SEH with cab a week ago that is supposed to arrive in two more weeks. It will be replacing a much beloved 2008 Kubota BX23 TLB. We're still cleaning up hurricane Helene damage here in Western North Carolina and I need a larger machine.
I had access to a Takeuchi skid steer for a while and found that I loved the cab. The Takeuchi is going away so getting the CK4020. Previous to now I believed a cab was a waste of money but after having the AC and running through several yellow jacket's nests this summer with the Taki this 68 year old decided a cab is great.
Kubota has been my choice of tractors in the past but my dealer quoted me almost $10K more for a comparable Kubota that has less features. Hoping my new tractor will be as reliable as the Kubota.

A cab is mandatory after you've ran one. Just keep the AC condenser blown out if it is the same stupid design as my CK3510. Good choice with the 40hp model too. I can roll coal if I push too hard. We had hardly any Helene damage on the west side of the mountains.

Thanks for the advice on the AC condenser. I'll keep an eye on it. I live just south of Marion on a ridge so we didn't have the flooding but according to the Emergency Services Director our neighborhood had the worst wind damage in the county. Took seven of us 3 days to cut a quarter mile out of our the neighborhood to the state road. A lot of structure and tree damage but thankfully no injuries. I used to live in the woods but now I live in a field with plenty of tractor work to do.
