HST with a loader?

No.

Find another dealer. A dealer who says this is either incompetent or lieing. Either way, you don't want to deal with him.

( He sells Kioti and Long/Farmtrac and it is quite a large dealer. )

How many models of those tractors have hydrostatic transmissions? A few of the Kiotis? I think your answer is obvious. However, that Kioti CK30 hydro is a pretty darn nice tractor. It's probably so popular your dealer has a tough time getting them, so my original thesis applies. </font>


Kioti makes 3 models that are HST, 20, 25 & 30hp. Long/Farmtrac has 2 models, 33 and 39hp. Both brands probably have about a dozen gear offerings each, perhaps more than that from Long/Farmtrac. My guess is the dealer doesn't know much about repairing an HST if one ever goes down, but that doesn't seem to happen very often . . .not that he would know.
