Kioti CK20HST vs CK25 Manual

[chazzy]

Hello All,

I just got some quote as following:
1. CK20 HST w/ 50" FEL & 50" Box Scraper for $14,400 + tax.
2. CK25 Manual w/ 60" FEL & 60" Box scraper for $13,600 + tax.

My major intended use is for clearing brushes/weeds on a mostly flat 5-acre field. The same dealer also quote me additional $2,000 for a 60" rotary brush cutter. They also said would deliver the tractor for free to my place, 60-mile trip.

My questions are:
> How important is to have hydrostatic trans for my intended job?
> Are the prices reasonable?

Thank you in advance.

you should really post this in the Kioti forum.

I don't know about 2k for the 60", sounds high to me, but there might be a price difference between coast.
