Product: CK30/CK30 HST

I bought a CK30 about a year ago. I waited till I had used it a year give my two cents about this tractor. Now that I have used the guts out of this tractor I feel I can give and honest opinion about it. I have used John Deere, Massey Ferguson, Kubota, International, Ford, Oliver, David browns, and Longs. This tractor beats them all. As far as I am concerned KIOTI has a life customer. I use this tractor to do anything from mowing my yard to finish digging a pond. It does it all. Power has not been a problem at all. Easy on fuel and easy to use. I have a front end loader that works great. My father in-law farms and uses a bob cat for his front end loader, He couldn’t believe that the lift height on the bucket was almost as high as it. If you are looking to buy a tractor I would highly recommend this tractor. It is priced very well and the warranty is great. The only complaint I have is with the gearing from 4low-2 High. I wish they were geared a little different but they are not that bad at all. Not enough to stop me from buying it again. As far as starting in cold weather, it was 3 degrees here, yesterday and I went out to start it to clean the driveway. As soon as the glow plug light kicked off it fired right off with no delay. My father in-law bought a new John Deere a month after I bought this tractor and it doesn’t have any kind of cold weather assistance like glow plugs air heater or block heater. The dealer did install a block heater as a courtesy. In my opinion, (as a diesel mechanic) every diesel needs something to help in cold weather it is just a diesel thing. They don’t like the cold! That being said, keep up the good work and don’t try to follow a trend of plastic cheap made tractors. This is a solid steel heavy made tractor!
