I was just looking at our local (Ocala Florida) Craigslist and found this.
Kioti CK25 Tractor It seems like a pretty reasonable price to me if it is not too old.

Looks like a pretty good tractor. It has the older style backhoe and looks to be in reasonably good shape. That set-up likely sold new for about $22-23K without the trailer.
The condition is more important than the age at this point. You want to make sure it was cared for and had the upgrade to the loader. Check the oil, Trans fluid and coolant to see if it is clean. Shake the backhoe and front bucket to check for wear in the bushings etc.
If it all checks out, I don't think it is a bad price at all for that rig.

That's a reasonable price for the whole setup and KiotiDave's new price is right on. Mine is a 2005 CK30hst with KL130 loader and KB2375 backhoe. As mentioned, check it over and if in good condition, I'd go for it if that's what you are looking for. The fel bucket looks like the original. I'd imagine it is a 2005 to 2007 by the rops being jointed in the middle instead of at the bottom. If you ask the person for the serial number of the tractor, the first character, a letter, would tell you the year. A is 2001, B is 2002 and so on but it has low hours, hopefully not beaten, and if service properly, the year doesn't mean that much. I have that older style backhoe and haven't had any problems. You just have to remember that it is a smaller backhoe and won't be like a big tractor's or dedicated tractor's backhoe. It works well but takes smaller bites. I have the older style loader also without the update/add on cross brace. Maybe I'm just lucky but there are no cracks in the original brace at the inspection/access hole. To check for cracks, just remove the bolts holding the cover on and look at the corners of the rectangular hole in the cross brace. The cracks normally showed up at those corner bolt holes. Good luck if you look at it. If you need more info, just ask and I'm sure the members can help.
