what are your thoughts on the kioti ck20s, as far as how it rates wiht the rest of the tractors in its class
How are you liking your CK20s?
I love it and work very well with almost anything in the range of CK20. Remember, always maintenance for a better and improvement of the machine. It is best to work with the machine than forcing it. Because forcing it cause a break down and/or replacing the parts that may cost you. Even a Kubota, John Deer and few others are the among with problems. So, if you are buying a Kioti, go for it. Look at some specification that best describe the different spec of tractors. I find the Kioti does more than any type of tractors I seen. In my opinion, but not my call to make, go through the specification first and find a good deal out of it. Remember Kubota and John Deer has three years warranty. The Kioti has five years warranty, so which one do you prefer?
I bought one last week after researching this size for 6 months. I had an older Yanmar, which was indestructiblec, but I sure do like the CK20s.
Ah, good. Just give yourself a chance to work with it and you'll find it very useful for many things. Mine has a Hydro-static Transmission and work very well in most common places as you did with a bush hog.
I was using her tractor for a bit and found that in low range the hydrostat would stall out. I was surprised that it wouldn't spin in four wheel when I tried to use the loader lifting and pushing at the same time. I have the turf tires on and even they wouldn't lose traction. Just used to more power I guess.

I have run manuals most of my life. Have used the hydrostat on large dozers and it is true to them all a light hand is better for pushing.
Not to downgrade any tractor, but the best all around tractor I have had was a 336D yanmar. The transmission was the best I have had. It had four ranges with a powershift 3sp plus reverse. Tilling in low range was great, very slow. Working mode was mostly in 3rd range. Had good pulling power and could shift up and down in an instant without losing momentum, and had power to back up using the loader. I wish other manufacturers would hop on that one.
