CK30 Cabs

[psuedofarmer]

i followed your other post where you state the tractor size you're looking for.. sorry i didn't respond to that post, but i'll toss in my 2 cents here:

have you considered buying a larger tractor? i've read what you're going to use it for, and IMHO (take it with a grain of salt from another 'telecom' guy), you'd be better served by a larger unit, one with a cab.

if your budget permits, i'd strongly suggest that you look at a larger tractor. i'm very familiar with your area, and judging from what you're going to use it for, the extra HP (with a cab) might be more appropriate in the long run.

good luck

I have to agree that a larger cab model might be more in line with 80 acres. I didn't realize the size of the jobs when I first read this post. A DK45S may be up the right alley.

Well anybody who want to contribute to the Makato fund, by all means. Budgets are budgets.
You probably missed my original post regarding pricing etc. I have 80 acres of solid woods in the Cherry Mountains. Only open area is the drive and around the house. I'm going to use the tractor for snow removel, cleaning out the bottom 12 acres of undergrowth and dead falls in the pines, cut and haul wood out, keep the drainage ditches clear and again back to the drive, keep it in good shape which is a biggy. The crown is really important due to the run-off during the melt. I'm sure I'm in for a whale of a time first winter but I've got you guys for moral support...............
Anything above a 30 is tough to haul if need be so I'm holding there.
The Fremar Cover guys are looking into this situation which will be good for the dealer guys. I would expect the price point to be below 1k and probably several hundred below that.

I would think that the popularity of the CK25/30 line and the now availability of factory cabs on 30hp range MF's and Kubota's would prompt Kioti to introduce a factory cab. I would buy one ASAP. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Not to get completely off subject here, but have you seen or heard any info on the DK45S cabs? I have not seen one or heard of anything yet coming. Just wondering.

Well I tried to e-mail Kioti customer service to "put a bug in their ear" about a hard cab kit for the CKs but my e-mail got bounced back as undeliverable. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
Does anyone know a working e-mail address for customer service?

Keep trying. I know in the past someone at Kioti was adjusting the security settings for their email and set it to high.

When I entered my zip code, I got a price of 1995.00. There are some nice options available also. I don't mind the cold yet, but some day................. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Finally got through to customer service (their email seems to be working quite nicely now) and I received the following response to my inquiry about a cab for the CK25/30. I thought that I would post it here for your enjoyment...

Not really saying much, but I guess we will just have to wait and see what happens. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Hey KiotiKevin, hows bout those pics? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I think you were lucky to have received even an acknowledgement of your e-mail. I sent "customer service" an e-mail about a cab for the CK25/30 models on the 13th of Oct and have not heard any thing from them. But I understand. I also sent them a testimonial for the CK30 last January as did others and to date this model still does not have one posted.

But even with out support from the builder the tractor is great and the support from my dealer, Moore's Corner Inc., in Granville, NY is outstanding.
