MMM all rear discharge?

Roadkill95 · Nov 22, 2007

Are all of the MMM for the ck20 rear discharge? That would be a deal breaker for me.

I bought 1 year ago and mine was equipped with the DMM-60 deck (Italian made and a beast) and it is side discharge.

Not sure if you can still get them, but there are pictures on Kioti's site under implements / mid mount mower -- scroll to the bottom and one of the pictures is the underside of my deck w/ the side discharge shown.

I've been pretty happy with it and if you search for all posts by me, you'll find one that has pictures of my lawn fresh cut with my deck.

Roadkill,

I don't own a Kioti (have the other Orange), but had to comment. I was surprised to you're question as I always thought the MMM were all side discharge. I figured the 3PH were rear discharge, MMM were side.

See...I learned something today!

The only MMM I see listed on the Kioti page is for the DK35 & DK40, a 72" MM and it is shown to be a rear discharge. There is one picture of a side discharge mower, but the rest are for rear discharge. The discharge description for all of their mowers is "popular rear discharge". The only mower I see listed for any of the CK series is the rear mount, 48" or 60" rear discharge mowers. I see no other mowers listed for any other tractors... did I miss something? I had been wondering what might be available if I wanted to put a MMM on a CK 25-->35 series, I have not decided which one I want yet.

A little heads up....
There is no mid mount mowers available from Kioti for any of the CK series.
Unless you are lucky enough to find a dealer with one left over.

One other thing, when we did have mowers from Kioti you were not able to put a backhoe set up with a mid mower set up.
The only way you could install a loader mower and baqckhoe was if you used a Woods 4 point mounted backhoe.

Woods did not list that their backhoe would work with Kiotis CK 25 and 30 machine, I took a chance and ended doing alot of fabricating to get one on a customers tractor.

It still shows on their site but just 72in rear discharge. I would think that a large % of people buying a tractor this size may want a 62 in mower. Now you say there is none.

I think JD may be like that also you have to remove the MMM to have the BH, but I'm not positive.
I guess most people don't mow with a BH on anyhow.

If you look at the 'Application Chart', the only machine that mower fits is the DK35 & DK40.

No I mean if you get a Kioti backhoe you can not have a belly mower.
The brackets that you put on the machine interfer with each other.

Before I purchased my Kubota this year I was considering a Kioti. the deal breaker came when I could not get a side discharge MMM, in fact the dealer stated that he would not sell me a MMM. He felt they were not of sufficient quality. the only mower he recommended was a RFM, which I didn't want. the dealer said Kioti was working on a better MMM but was unshure when they would be available.
