I was just wondering if you ever heard of Orchard Hill equipment? They are a Kioti dealer (and Mahindra, Cub Cadet, Yanmar) out here in western Mass and it's the place where I bought my Mahindra tractor. For the record, Kioti was my number 2 choice for a tractor, after the local Kubota dealer apparently had no interest in dealing with a female customer. When I was tractor shopping I was looking at both the CK20 and the Mahindra 2015. In some ways the CK20 was better than the 2015, and in some ways the 2015 was better. They were both excellent machines. In the end, it all came down to better financing and a better price from Mahindra.

I am not familiar with them but I am sure I will meet them at some point.Best of luck with the new tractor and I am sure Orchard Hill is happy to hear you are pleased with them.

Kiotikid,
I really liked the DK65 with cab and self-levelling loader that I had on trial up here in Ontario. Kiotis seem to come standard with alot of features that are optional on others. What really disappointed me was that no EHSS is available.
Any idea when or if Kioti is going to offer a power shuttle tranny on these.
Also they need to address some cab ergonomics issues such as relocation of synchro shuttle floor shifter from left side of seat to steering column (restricts access), foot accelerator pedal and heat/AC blower fan capacity which seems lacking. The front wiper seemed very weak when I tried it, seemed to be a struggle to move only part way across the windshield. Other that these minor issues I thought the tractor was well executed with excellent paint and build quality.
