My Ck25 HST psi ??

I think all brands have there days 

Absolutely true.

No brand is perfect, but what you may find is that each brand has a couple exceptional tractors in their line up and each brand has a couple that are simply lacking. But even the exceptional tractors can have problems.

Just to keep you all up to date - I haven't heard back from my dealer yet. I'll give him a call this week and let you know.
Don't get discouraged about the HST; I believe it all boils down to what it is you want to do with your tractor. This I think is only minor detail. I love my Kioti and the HST for that matter, I just want to make sure that I am getting the most out of what I got, regardless I am still happy with it.

( gee whizz John.....I am not an kioti owner yet, but I'm still not sold on the HST, still putting my money on the GEAR. But I will contined to read and listen to you, and all the others information.......I think all brands have there days at times. )
I'm sure not trying to talk anyone into HST. Nothing wrong with gear drives, and they keep going when an HST hits relief. I still like my HST, but I could use any plain gear or shuttle shift just as well. I simply like being able to just push with the foot while both hands are busy with wheel and joystick. That's the only advantage for ME. John

Well here it is guys. A long awaited follow-up to my original post. My dealer (Proudfoot Motors, New Glasgow, N.S.) came to pick up my CK25 and take it back to the shop (3 hour drive each way) 2 weeks ago to address my concern with lack of power . Although I had nothing to compare it to (I never owned a tractor before in my life) it just didn't seem right - just a hunch I guess. Well my hunch was right. After the mechanic relayed the information to Kioti , the mechanic tried different suggestions from Kioti to try to resolve the problem and in the end Kioti shipped a new HST transmission to replace it.(under warranty)
Spoke to my dealer today it is all together, working great and ready to come home ! Although it took a while to resolve based on a hunch it was worth the wait. Lookin forward to some more seat time. Kudos to Kioti and Brock Proudfoot (and his mechanic - Dick) of Proudfoot Motors. Can't get any better service than that from a dealer 3 hours away.

I don't know how to post a link to the original thread. But if you click on kiotikevin it will take you to my profile and click on 'all users posts' go to January 19th and you will see 'My ck25 stalling'. By the way - I got 2 1/2 hours seat time doing some landscaping yesterday. Works like a charm !
