Kioti CK owners

[Mtsoxfan]

I've recently purchased a CK3520se hst, and am looking for ideas on customizing. Specifically, but not limited to chainsaw holder, larger tool box holder, chain holder. On my New Holland, it was easy to fit things on. The Kioti is set up differently, so I'm interested in seeing (with pics please) how you are customizing your CK. Any modifications really...

Fill the tires and get a ballast box if you plan on using the loader at all. Others will say just use an implement you already have, but a dedicated weight box will be much smaller and more maneuverable. Bright flood lights on magnets attached to the rops so you can point them forward and backwards depending what you are doing. Plus you can hang then underneath when you aren't using them so they don't hit anything like branches. The cheapest accessory that I use every time and wouldn't want to go without is a steering wheel spinner. 12 dollars on Amazon

Thanks. I have a ballast box from other tractor. Only used it when lifting near max, once I had a few butt clench moments. Other tractor had perfect sized square hole in loader arm for chainsaw, Kioti is round.

Filled tires and always have an implement on the back.

The chainsaw holder is one of the less expensive ones from Amazon but it works great.

I got the idea for the little toolbox and magnets from this site and it's worked great.

I have led lights for the ROPS but haven't installed them yet.

Ballast is important for safety but people need to understand that it also saves your bevel gear case seals.

How did I miss this thread? Oh my. I'll post all the little changes I've made over the years. I'm not a welder, nor am I terribly creative, so most of my mods are money thrown at the problem, but they may inspire.

I'll grab some photos today.
