loader for ck30

[c23380]

About to pull the trigger on a ck30 and I am stumpling on the loader options. I like the kioti loaders, especially the extra pivot points on the bucket cylinders. I also like the way it is close to the engine, so when the loader is off, you do not have mounts sticking out so far. I do wish kioti had the quick attatch system on their 130 loader though. This brings me to the woods.......Dealer said same price for either and the woods has the quick attatch bucket. I would like to hear some pros and cons from those who have the woods setup. Thanks

Hello C23, Get the Woods LC102 for your ck30. Make sure you get the 60" bucket and not the 66". That loader is a beast on the Ck30 and will be all youd ever need on a 30 hp machine,. I believe the Lc102 lifts 1650lbs to full height at the pivot compared to 1150 with the kioti 130 loader. The woods will also have quick attach capability. Good luck

I'd also go with the Woods. You can never have enough loader power and the CK30 is easily heavy enough to handle it (with appropriate ballast). I don't understand why the KL130 is so close to the KL120 in power given the 50%+ increase in horsepower between the CK20 and CK30/35. I believe you can get the Woods in orange (maybe Kubota orange though).

If I could have gotten the woods loader for the same price as the 130, that would have been a no-brainer....

I can't tell you how many times i wished i had the quick attach on my '30 loader. I ended up trading fo a DK40......

Go with the Woods!

Good info so far guys, however I think it is the lc96 loader which is 1200 lb load rating. Is this still abetter loader tan the kioti?

The price difference between the two Woods loaders, Lc102 and Lc 96 shouldnt be more then 3 -400 dollars, well worth the Lc102 performance. The Lc 96 is no better the the k130 by Kioti. But thats up to you. Good luck
