Woods lc102 loader ?

[CurtC]

I've seen this loader recommended a couple of times as having better specs than the kl120/130 loaders. Does anyone here actually have on on their Kioti and can comment? How much did you pay for it?

I have one with the quick attach option and I like it. However, this is my first tractor so I don't have a lot of experience with FELs let alone the KL130. I only did a few little scoops of dirt with the KL130 in the dealer's back lot. For what it's worth the LC102 feels stronger.

I have the Woods 66" quick attach bucket and I've picked up some nice heaping buckets of clay (not wet but not dry either).

I bought it as a package with the backhoe and tractor. I was told by more than one dealer that the Woods package was only a few hundred more than the all Kioti package. The downside of the Woods package is warrenty and maybe financing. Woods warrenty is only 2 years.

On paper this FEL is a much better match for the CK30. I needed to maximize FEL lift yet stay in the relatively compact size of the CK series. The only other similiarly sized machine that out performs this combo is the Kubota L35/L39...at about twice the cost.

They are very nice loaders from what ive seen. They come in orange as well, very close match for the Kioti orange. I run the older replacement on my ck30 the Woods 1012, im very happy with mine and im sure the Lc102 is even better. The cost difference was only about 300 dollars in 05 for mine, i say well worth it... Matt

Those loader arms look huge compared to the KL130. Do you have a picture with the bucket attached to the loader?

If the LC102 comes standard with universal quick attach then that is worth more than $500-600 right there compared to the KL130. It also means that the standard bucket will already be QA compatable so will save the hassle of welding on a $100 adapter plate to the bucket.

The warranty is not different I don't think than Kioti's. Unless they have changed the policy, the vaunted 4 year Kioti warranty only covers the tractor. In the past the loader and BH warranty from Kioti was only a year so the Woods might actually be better.

It has better lift capacity and it even comes in Kioti/Kubota orange.....Sounds like a score to me!

I believe you are 100% correct. The warranty on the attachments (loader and backhoe) are only one year. So for the money the woods might be a better choice so long as the price difference is minimal.

The quick attach is not standard. My dealer had to order it with this option and I never asked how much more it was since I needed it for my tree shovel.

This is a 66" bucket.

BTW, Just so everyone knows, black is the new orange

I dunno, feels a bit formal to me. I'd feel underdressed in my ratty t shirt.
