The CK20 is a very nice tractor and would in all likelihood have been plenty of machine for what we do on our property. However, I also know that most people like me (1st time buyer of a new tractor since I ran our old Ford 8n growing up) wishes they would have purchased the next size up. So I carefully looked at our specific needs and figured out that a 25hp unit would be fine, in fact, it's what four of my neighbors with similar properties have and they do just fine. So with all that in mind I ordered a DK4520 Gear drive with a loader, a heavy 6 foot box blade, pallet forks, and a post hole digger with a 12" auger. Two of my neighbors have John Deere's, one has a New Holland, and one has a Bobcat. I'll be the only one in this area with a Kioti. This channel and others helped me to decide on the Kioti brand...
Hi Mike, I love my CK4010. The one thing I wish Kioti would do, is to improve the hydraulic system or valve for the front end loader. It could be a little faster, and combining the lift-curl, and down and dump functions like the Kubota would make a great improvement.
Mike, the CK20 series are very nice tractors with a wide ranges of features and options that will help get the job done. Thank you for taking the time to put together another educational LSE video on a reliable and fantastic Kioti tractor! Take care and I’ll see you down the road…
Canadian viewer here , yes we have to comply with emissions rules. I absolutely love my 26/20 se cab tractor. Purchased after four years of looking at tractors from nearly every manufacturer.
Great job Mike we started with a ck 35 hp se and now went with DK 5310 and it is a great tractor. We also purchased the Kioti zero turns last year and great products thanks to you and Anthony.
The CK series is very nice. I considered them but I decided on a Dk4210SE instead. The extra 500 pounds loader capacity was the biggest selling point. I just moved 10 tons of stone today in no time. It’s a pleasure to operate!
That's why we went with a DK. I have very large boulders to move, land to clear, roads to maintain, post holes to dig, etc. My dealer added 80 lb weights to each rear wheel and filled the rear tires with ballast. I also leave the 530 lb box blade on the back when doing loader work. Such a great setup!
I do have a question, the rear outside level to raise/lower the 3 point hitch arms while behind the tractor. Standard on se models. Is there a kit to add this to a non-se ?
Why do they cut themselves out of so many buyers. They need to lower the bend in the rops so that people can put it in their garage, everybody doesn't have a 7 foot garage.
