"I love this little work horse. I have a LandPride rake/blade combo to maintain the road & driveway…it works well for a small tractor. Then I found a good deal on a 3-point snow thrower, it turned out that it needed auger bearings and some routine fix in'. After getting the snow thrower all ready to go, I mounted it to the tractor in the fall to check that everything was good. It ran perfect, but then came the 1st big snow fall. Naturally I was excited to try the new toy. As soon as I backed into the 1st snow bank, I realized that when I push the cloth to stop the tractor, it would also stop the snowblower PTO. Then when I let the clutch out again, the auger/impeller/shoot were all packed with snow, and the shear pin on the pro shaft let go. Bottom line is that i could not figure a way too use the snow thrower attachment so I gave it to my friend in Vermont to use with his Massey (that does have a 2-stage clutch feature). So I was disappointed to learn that my Kioti was missing that important feature, not to mention the $$ and hours I put into the snow thrower. Now I'll go back to pushing the snow around with the bucket (unfortunately)."
"I have had my tractor for about 10 years and only put about 15 hours a year on it. I keep it in a garage out of the elements and have had it serviced by the dealer at 75 and then again at 150 hours. My major complaint is that the shifter for the front wheel drive keeps disengaging while running and I am constantly pushing it back down into position. I also had a number of the wires in the engine compartment (for the head lights and the temperature gauge) fray and disintegrate due to vibration and rubbing on the radiator hose. Another problem is that the pre-heat coil light stays lit after the engine is started and the key is in only the run mode. All this with less then 200 hours on it and very light yard use. "
"Good size for small horse ranch, not a problem getting through gates, but can carry a bale of hay. No problems so far, starts right up and runs like a champ. Bought with 328 hrs, now has 350. My only complaint is that it appears to only has 2 speeds, fast and very slow. Maybe I'm doing something wrong."
"I purchased the tractor after getting snowed in and having to clear the driveway (approx 400 ft) by hand. Since then it has hauled a lot of rock, dirt, gravel and stove wood. The 4 stars for Build Quality is due to the factory forgot to seal the ignition system and the tractor refused to shut-off. Local dealer (Run-away Tractor) replaced the wiring harness (under warranty) and the tractor has worked great since. I also have a scraper blade, a turf buster plow and driveway scraper box."
"I have owned the CK20hst for just over 4years, in which time I've not had any real problems from the Daedong Manufactured parts. I had it fitted with a Daedong mid mounted mower deck and a front end loader again a Daedong option. I believe the mid mounted mower deck was manufactured in France and this is what has gives me the problems. In 400 hours I've put two sets of bearing into the blade hubs. This is the cheap part its the drive belt for the blades that costs a lot ($650 AUS). At the beginning of this year, I purchased my second Daedong (Kioti), which is a EX45HST and have already got 200 hours up with out a problem."
"4 stars for reliability & build quality because a part was left out in the right front axle. The dealer stood behind it though. Otherwise, it's a great little workhorse."
"Excellent little tractor that I have owned since new. Primarily it is used to do various landscaping tasks on approx 2.5 acres--lots of dirt hauling and rock moving with the loader (KL120) and backhoe (KB2365) attachments. Cat1 3 point hitch adequately powers our post-hole digger, log splitter and 60" snowblower. Local dealer(Kerby Independent Tractor Service) provides excellent service and has taken care of the few issues that have come up over the past 4 years. Tranny rad failed(leaked)do to extreme cold."
"I replaced my old Ford 2N with the Kioti CK20S. What an improvement. No problem mowing with a 6' finish mower or a 5' bushhog. I picked the Kioti over the Massey and Kubota because of its extra weight and lift capacities. So far I'm very pleased. "
"Have not had this tractor long, but very impressed so far. Bought under Free FEL program. Primarily used for a field, mowing 5 acres and moving by-products from 4 horses. Has great power and torque. The seat is comfortable and controls are well placed. Time will tell on the reliability, but it looks good so far. I spent a lot of time researching tractors, but kept coming back to the Kioti. My previous tractor was a 1952 Ford 8N so this is a huge improvement. I plan on keeping this tractor a long time and would recommend to anyone "
"Overall Bottom line: This tractor can actually do everything I need, and is offered at a fantastic price. If you don't have much slope I'm sure you'll be happy. For me, I have some pretty steep areas, so I chose to step up to the CK30 instead primarily for the increased speed - i.e., to save time. My opinion: You probably don't want this one if you want to do finishing mowing - this tractor is MUCH heavier than it's competitors. A minor issue - could be just my unit-the PTO is noisy when engaged but with the clutch in, I tended to drop the PTO out instead."
