Future of the LB1914?

SteveZ · Feb 3, 2003

I am in the process of shopping for a tractor, and the Kioti brand has really impressed me. Specifically, I am thinking about the LB1914. Now that the CK20 is coming out, has anyone heard of Kioti's plans for the LB1914? They seem to be very similar, so I wonder if both models will continue to be produced, or will the CK20 serve as a replacement for the LB1914.....................Steve

Keep in mind this is just my opinion, but I can't see them continuing with both models. The CK20 is available in both HST and manual models, and they are so similar mechanically.

FWIW, I just ordered a CK20 w/loader...for March/April delivery.

I believe it's still up in air. I've heard it is going to stay as a sort of economy line, 3054 too. I've also heard it may become a TLB only model, 3054 here too. We sell quite a few 1914's this way. If you are worried about parts, don't be. KIOTI has discontinued a few tractor models over the years. As of this time NO parts have been discontinued. They have been here since the mid 80's. That is a pretty good record!

As I understand from Kioti Marketing, the 1914 and the 3054 will remain in place. The will be tweeked over the next year to give them some newer looking features and designs.
