Kioti CK30 4.50 star(s) (22)

Kioti CK30
Model Year: 2004

I don't use my tractor very often. Mostly for yard mowing and moving a little dirt. I have a 60" finish mower, and this tractor has more than enough power to handle some very tall grass, wild rose bushes, and tree limbs. I am very pleased with this tractor and if i ever buy another one it will be a Kioti. The only problem that I have had is the gas gauge does not work.

Pros: Starts every time after sitting for weeks, good power
Cons: Gas guage, FEL control handle comes loose

CK30HST in North Central MA
Model Year: 0

This little tractor is definitely a workhorse. I have done things I would have never believed I could do. Have backhoe, bucket, box scraper, bush hog, blade and tiller. I DO keep it inside which definitely helps with the cold, harsh winters of New England. I bought this tractor on price and warranty... was the ONLY one in it's size to offer a 4 year which a lot of other manufacturers are now offering. Would recommend this tractor ONLY if you have a REPUTABLE is in your area. Parts were hard for me to get.

Pros: Ease of use and quite the worker!
Cons: Battery connections and parts availability.

My Ideal Tractor
Model Year: 2005

I'm a 65 YO woman with more ambition than brawn. I needed a tractor/loader/backhoe to do my heavy digging and lifting. The Kioti CK 30 has been a perfect fit for my uses. The tractor and loader are over-designed and so far I haven't given them a job they couldn't handle. The Kioti backhoe has a few weak areas which required repair welding and reinforcing. I seldom use the hitch and have yet to need draft control for a tillage implement. I have added the second remote hydraulic outlet so that a post hole drill can be mounted on the dipper arm in place of the digging bucket. This works well. I have had no warranty issues and the routine maintenance is simple and the parts easy to obtain.

Pros: Engineering design is excellent. Hydraulics are just right for the size of the tractor
Cons: None so far.

Kioti CK30 HST
Model Year: 2010

Shopped around at the AgExpo. Couldn't pass up the deal on a pull tractor. Got this one with FEL, BH, Rear Blade, Auger & Ind. tires delivered to my door with a fresh service and low low hours. So glad to have this machine. It really is an enabler..

Pros: Has some power-yet maneuverable too.
Cons: None so fa

Kioti CK30HST
Model Year: 2006

I have had my Kioti for about 4 years now and can't say a bad thing about it. I have taken care of my property and driveway as well as moved hundreds of yards of stone and dirt without a hitch. It has been the perfect size tractor for what I need it for. Not to big, not to small and never lacked for power. Only problem I had with it new was battery cables. I kept having to tighten the cables because the tractor would not start and after a year or so of that I found out I had overseas metric cable ends. I bought new cable ends and installed them and have not had a problem since. That's the only reason I gave reliability and dealer 4 stars instead of 5, otherwise it has been a great tractor for me.

Pros: Great value for the money, build quality, comfort and ease of use.
Cons: None I have fould yet.

Ck 30 gear model
Model Year: 2007

I reviewed the different models around this HP and when looking at the features and stats of the Kioti I found they weigh more than competitors and are around or below the other prices. for my applications, weight is important. As for dealers, I bought mine over 150 miles from home, with the intent of not really needing a dealer very often. I perform all maint myself, and get parts online or whenever I get over to a dealer. I have been very satisfies with it's performance, and would buy another Kioti in the future. I intend on purchasing a loader in the future and can review that at a later date

Pros: Weight, durability, hydralics
Cons: Filters on the bottom, low hitch height with R4 tires

New Kioti and Loader
Model Year: 2010

A great tractor that's easy to work with and very powerful.

Pros: Best for getting on and off.
Cons: A little more leg room would be nice.

Kioti CK 30 w FEL Little Work Horse
Model Year: 2009

We have been using this tractor for a year now, and have no complaints. It is often put to work in the bush pulling out logs (12-14" diameter & approx 10-12'long) with no issues.The back tires are filled, and this makes a huge difference. I bought the Kioti over Kubota because of it's weight for the same HP tractor. I have also moved a lot of heavy clay dirt, and no back wheel lift at all. The PTO HP is good as we can use the snowblower, and just go through thick snow without a problem.

Pros: Weight, power, build, and dealer service.
Cons: Back fenders are too long for my bush use , as I have bent the right fender and broken a light, but so what.

CK 30 gear
Model Year: 2010

I purchased the ck30 after 4 months of shopping around. I use it for snow plowing in the winter, has a 66 inch Normand rear snowblower, and for making firewood, around 200 cords a year, Woody hydraulic winch makes it easy. Other useful implements include KL130 loader, box blade, snow bucket, reversable snow plow, forks and post hole digger. This is my 2nd Kioti tractor and not the last.

Pros: Strong build, high ground clearance, easy toand maintain, simple machine, it gets excellent fuel economy.
Cons: Wish it would have a middle range, too much of a difference between low 4th and high 1st gear. The skid-steer quick-attach makes the bucket too far away from the loader, which reduces loader breakout force.
