Kioti CK20S hst or Kubota B2320 hst

[joe48]

Gee Karl,
I was just skimming this post again and it occured to me I just saw an ad for Provonost snowblowers and that if you wanted a front mount, Provonost now has a front 3pt/PTO kit for most tractors with midPTO.
Be interesting to see what it costs for a CK20, my neck isn't getting any younger and 2-3 hrs looking over my shoulder blowing snow AIN'T much fun!
(gotta bust your chops: you own 2 Kioti's now and you ask about Kioti vs. Kubota??!! Well Duuhhh!!) (I know youre concerned about towing with that poor abused Ranger. Take the money you save with the Kioti and buy an older Ford F250/350 for heavy towing.)

Thanks everyone for the advice, i guess it's gonna be another kioti:drool: The one thing i did like about the kubota was the 3 range HST. Both are good machines, but be keeping the extra$$$ for that expensive front mount-blower. BTW still have the old ranger, but also acquired a used '03 gmc 2500HD to pull my trailer around. I'll post pics of the tractor when i get it. :thumbsup:

Sounds like your getting a great little tractor and a great towing rig at the same time! :thumbsup:

Cool! I'll bet that feels great.
I'm anxious to hear more about your backhoe and how it performs.

Very Nice! :thumbsup:

They look rugged with those AG tires vs my Industrial's.

Yeah they look nasty, but only on the rears, the front ones look like junk I wanted R4, better for all around use, but after such a long wait, i took the first CK20S HST TLB that was on the lot, went to get it myself, couldn't wait an other day for it to be delivered:laughing:

You need some "Big Foot" pads for the BH stabilizer. They will help anchor the tractor while digging. Do a search on TBN to see what they are. Pretty easy to fabricate a pair yourself if you have the tools.

Sweet new ride! Now for the big one, let's see a picture of all three of them side by side. :thumbsup:
