New Member - CK20 HST

[stallion143]

Hello to all! Just purchased my 2014 Kioti CK20 HST...Only have 8 hours on her as yet, but I've moved a lot of downed limbs & trees, bladed my driveway & purchased a set of pallet forks. This is my first tractor. I looked @ Mahindra, Kubota & Kioti. I believe I made the right choice. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Stallion143,
I think you will enjoy the tractor as well. I did a lot of research prior to my purchase and found the CK20S to be the overall best in its class. I love that it has just about the same foot print as the CS2410, but is much heavier. The new CK 2510 was not an option when I bought mine, but again, overall, I love my CK20S. I have pulled a heavy duty 4 foot brush cutter through 4' high weeds with as many saplings as weeds. I was able to to that in 3rd low (manual transmission) and could have went faster, but these mountains are a little to steep. You loose a little hp to the PTO with HST, but I would anticipate you being able to do the same. It will pull a five foot finish mower, but I use a 4 four foot for ease. I pull a single 14 inch turning plow with no problems. I pull a 6 foot drag disk. If you don't have the rear tires loaded, do so because it makes a big difference. Welcome to the forum and congrats on your Kioti.

Congrats and welcome to the forum, I have over 800 hours on my CK20 HST (bought it used with 600 hrs on it). It has done what I needed it to do so far. Did you get the clamp on pallet forks? I have been thinking about getting a pair.

Enjoy

Rancho,

I thought about clamp-on forks, but I went with the pin-on ones. I can see my load better & generally when you use the clamp-on forks, you lose some lifting power because the forks are out farther and that reduces how much you can lift...Plus, my dealer gave me a good price on the ones I bought. $625.00

hey Rancho, how much did you give for your tractor if you don't mind me asking.

I paid 8500.00 for my CK20 HST with loader and finish mower and brush hog and box blade and extra bucket along with a 7x18 dual axle trailer. Plus the guy delivered it from south florida. I thought it was a pretty good deal.

850.00??!! I'd say that was an excellent steal!

$8500.00 was still a steal. $850.00 is highway robbery..

Ah ha ! My old brain mixed up your post and the OP and came up with my erroneous posting.

Good deal !
