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.Roadkill95 said:

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.

Don't Despair just yet-
Check out this stuff Wallace had pointed out to me today
eBay Store - TTC Tractor Equipment: Front Hydraulics Front PTO, Front Road Sweeper, Snow Plow
This guy is a German designer who makes all kinds of cool accessories for Kioti tractors.
The cab is pricey, but just amazing what he's created.
The front mount hydraulic setup can be equipped with a gear box to connect to the mid PTO so you can put any rear snowblower on the FRONT of your kioti tractor. Use your normal loader joystick to point the chute and pick up / lower the blower. Just awesome.
He may be making setups for mid-mount mowers since Kioti doesn't offer them for CK series anymore.
Lots off good stuff going on here. Need to look into it some more. If anyone finds out more about TTC's product line, let us know.
Some of his vacuum setups look really slick too. Ya good love cool engineering like that. This guy looks like he's got something really good going here.

Personal preference I guess. I know many who definitely like the RFM, but I do not want the extra legnth behind me. I feel I have better control of the mower when it's underneath me. I can see at all times exactly where the mower deck is and how close I can get to things. I have obsticles to mow around and I don't think I could manuver as well with a RFM. Mostly, I don't like the extra leghth. also I have an incline I mow. I mow it going up and down the incline. the top rolls up onto a road. I was afraid that If I had a RFM the mower would lift as I was cresting the top to the road and thereby leaving the crest unmowed, then at the top the extra length would be more than I wanted to work with when turning around to go back down.
