No not for last 2 years

I saw a bobcat CK20 clone with a MMM in a recent trade mag. You might want to inquire with them about it.

We have one left in stock...

I wonder if you are considering a MMM because you were trading up in tractors from a lawn tractor and thats what you were comfortable with? They are NOT convenient to mount and dismount the implement.

The Kioti MMM is also close to double the cost of a similar RFM as I recall. I know I was able to buy both a Bush Hog Squealer and a Rhino finish mower for what the Kioti MMM would have cost. Maybe they have dropped prices but I'd still stay away from a MMM on anything bigger than a Kubota BX myself.

I just spoke with a Kioti dealer in Pine Bluff, AR yesterday about a MMM for the CK20S HST and he said that both a side and a rear discharge were available.
Is this not the case? Any info would be appreciated as this is one of the
tractors that I have narrowed my search to.

Thanks,

I would check to see if they actually meant a 3 point mower, it is rare (not done?) to have a rear discharge mid mount mower. the reason being, if you hit something (rock, piece of metal, etc) it can be thrown into your (expensive) rear tires... however 3 point rear discharge mowers are common (and better than side discharge ones according to some), they are supposed to leave the clippings more even, and not windrowed.

Thanks aczlan for the quick reply. I guess I had a case of operators headspace
and did not look at Kiotis site until just now. They list the KMR03-72" Mid-Mount
but alas it shows compatibility with only the DK35 and DK40. Seems strange to
me. Does anyone know if there is a smaller one in the pipeline or if possibly the
Bobcat mower mentioned elsewhere on the forum would work? I am very much
wanting a MMM because I will need to use the tractor to mow my 1.5 ac yard
in order to justify the purchase. Thanks in advance for any infor and just
wanted to let everyone here know this is an absolutely awesome board with
a wealth of knowledge and information!

Thanks,

Hey harley I bought a CK20 this spring and bought the landpride 60 inch 3 point hitch finish mower. Love it. It is easy to attach, cuts great and the rear discharge is the way to go with a mower.

 

[IslandTractor]

I used a 60 inch Rhino rear discharge finish mower with my CK20. Nice combo.

You might find an old Kioti MMM in some small dealership somewhere but I believe they are out of production. The MMM is much more expensive than a RFM.

I recently bought a CK20S with a Kioti 60" rear mower for my 1.5 acres. I was a little worried since I had been looking for a MMM. The dealer I bought from had both, but recommended the rear mount. It ended up coming down to cost for me (I think it was ~$900 cheaper for the rear mount mower). By buying the rear mount, I had quite a bit of money left over to use towards other implements (a front plow in my case). I've mowed about 5 times now and am still getting used to the rear mower, but it isn't as difficult as I thought it would be. I am able to get into corners and under larger trees much easier. Some trees and landscaping I can get as close or closer to than with a MMM, some I can't and just have to trim around. It really is easy to remove and install the rear mower. I can't speak to how easy/difficult it is for the MMM.

I have a 66" mid mount mower on my Bobcat, takes all of 10 minutes to remove.....and that was my first time at it, just wish it were a drive over deck
