Hit 100 hrs

K man · Jun 25, 2019

Hi all just hit 100 hours lol on my 2014 Kioti CK 30 HST and no issues at all with it. Love this tractor best investment ever and I am glad that I bought my Kioti. I use it mostly in the Winter for blowing snow and a bit of landscaping when needed so that explains the low mileage.
When I was shopping around I looked at John Deere, Kubota and Kioti and chose Kioti because for the price,quality, dealer knowledge, all the bells and whistles that can with it could not refuse.
This was the last year of production and the newer models had less options on them and I guess it was to keep the pricing down. Just thought that I would let all Kioti tractors that they are the best brand out there.

My 2004 model year CK30hst purchased in 2005 has worked well for me. One repair under warranty. A fuel gauge sending unit. Oh, I finally got new R4 front tires last year because of cracks in the sidewalls.

That is a very minor warranty claim and happy that you're tractor has been good to you too. As for tires not sure how long they should last I guess weather had alot to do with it. Did you get your tires loaded for more weight.

I'm sure the weather effected the front tires. The rears are fine. All four are Titan brand. I didn't load my tires. I don't have hilly terrain and it works fine. For loader work, I just have my 6 foot back blade on. For Winter snow plowing, it can get packed or icy so I chain all four tires because sometimes I may have a foot to move. I use 2 link ladder style. 3/8 inch link chain for the rear and 1/4 link chain for the front. Just the rears would do it for pushing snow but I found I couldn't steer well. With chains, it's like a little tank.

My driveway is a bit of incline and never had to use chains yet and I have been here 20 years. My tires are loaded and have a front mount blower and rear blade for snow removal. I also have a side x side with 6 foot blade for pushing snow when it is light. You can see it in my avatar. It is nice to have the toys to work with :thumbsup:

My 2014 CK30HST just turned 275 hours today. I use it for mowing grass, blowing snow and hauling firewood. Very happy with it. How many hours on your 2004? Dutchy
