"The tires need water to hold back down when using a bucket. The front lights quit working, the fuel gauge does not work properly, and I had to replace the ignition switch which Kioti had a problem with. Overall the tractor is reliable other than these minor issues. "

"I replaced my 2004 Kubota 25-horsepower HST four by four with loader and belly mower for a Kioti CK 35-horsepower four by four with a loader, backhoe and rear mount mower for half the cost of the Kubota. I was a little reluctant at first because I had never heard of Kioti, but I'm glad I took the chance. It does everything the Kubota did at half the cost with more attachments. They put a lot of the owner's comfort and easy of operation in mind when they designed this tractor without the attitude or cost. I have cleared property, plowed snow, towed a car stuck in the snow, dug trenches and in ground fire pits, moved felled trees, and cut 5.5 acres of land with it, and it still looks and runs like the day they delivered it. I would definitely purchase another Kioti tractor should the need arise. "

"After six years of steady use, I have no regrets about purchasing my CK35. I've only had two issues over the past six years: the lower radiator hose fail earlier this year and the relay for the emergency flasher and turn signals failed (couldn't find the relay so pulled the fuse). This tractor is a real workhorse and extremely reliable."

"Hi, I am Greg from Bloomington, IN. Finally got to the position financially to buy a tractor. Have been a Kubota fan for many years. I did not want a hydro tractor and at the time the similar Kubota only offered the hydro trans. Kioti had the shuttle shift trans I wanted. Got lucky and found mine online, only had 62 hrs. on it. Had just been dealer serviced. Looked brand new! Since then has been a joy to own. Had a few minor problems since purchase, nothing major.(ignition switch, and hydraulic leak off the distribution block for loader) Two 45-cent O-rings to fix. Good power and easy to service. For a 35hp tractor, hard to beat the value. I would buy another one again, just a Cadillac in my opinion!"

"I purchased this tractor for a couple reasons. The size of the Kioti CK35 is small enough to leave space in my garage, get under apple trees relatively easy, yet strong enough and versatile enough to be productive and useful. It does not have many hours on it yet, very reliable. It gets used in extreme cold. I do wish I had a cab somedays."

"I find that the tractor consumes a lot of diesel."

"Bought this machine in Oct 2010...very satisfied with overall quality & workmanship. Tractor is easy to service; filters are easy to locate & change. Implements: I use a 12" PHD, 5' box blade, 5' brush hog, 5' disc harrow, 6' landscape rake, along with the dealer installed FEL from Kioti. My property is much easier to keep maintained with this great tractor. Kioti made it easy to own through their finance department.."

"Got this tractor, Kioti CK35 HST with a Woods 7 foot backhoe new almost 3 years ago. What a great tractor! It is my first one and looked for about 6 months before picking the Kioti. Has been better than expected and is well built/finished. Everything is well placed for safe operation. Wish I had gotten it years earlier. "

"This is truly a great and reliable tractor that I expect will last a long time. The design and layout of the tractor is exceptional. The only thing I would change is the location of the transmission and hydraulic filter. Owners have to be very careful when navigating over small stumps that can roll up into the underframe of the tractor. In my case, it resulted in breaking the filter housing which was fairly easy to fix (less than 100 dollars) Unfortunately, once that happens the tractor cannot be moved since it relies on the same fluid for the transmission and hydraulics. So that leaves you stranded where you are unless the tractor can be towed to the barn and that again is very difficult with the front loader sitting on the ground. This happened to me, but taught me a valuable lesson. We all go through the tractor 101 stage and I was no exception. I still love the machine and the dealer I bought it from has also been exceptional. Also, the weight of this tractor (3000 lbs) helps keep the tractor balanced and grounded. This machine is like a new pair of shoes when you were growing up. Love it!"

"Very good tractor. It should have the ag. tires not the industrial. Foot throttle and shuttle shifter hard to move at first. "
