TimTools99- I have 100hrs on the tractor now. It definitely has good points and bad. The good: starts really easy. runs good. with the ag tires it is less tippy than my old kioti. If you get a tractor with HydroDrive ... get one 10 hp bigger than you are used to. My old Kioti 30hp gear drive will work circles around this new CK35. I like the Hydro for Loader work and in general it is very convenient. NOW THE BAD: does not have the power for pulling or lifting on loader or digging with the backhoe that my old 1996 30hp GEAR drive tractor had. I think it is due to the HST drive. That takes a lot of power to run. Because I must run the CK35 at a high RPM to satisfy the HST and Hydraulics ... it is NOT as fuel efficient as my old Kioti tractor. It is a give and take. If you think you want the HST then be prepared for this.
Roy- Great review! Thanks.
bert26a- The Kubota set up is much better for attaching the backhoe. I've thought about getting a tractor with a proper loader/backhoe set up but I don't really like how this connects.
Duncan Maxwell- Nice review. My folks have the same tractor and backhoe. But our backhoe must be an earlier model because I have to remove the three point arms to put it on. It's my least favorite job out there changing them over. It must also be my parents least favorite job because they always leave it for me too do even if it means putting off a digging task 3 or months till I get out there to do again.My observations about the power loss through the HST match yours. yes 10hp more to cover loss.
cedarview2- Nice filming and editing. Easy to see how your connecting things and thank you for no loud music in background! Very well done!
Philippe Bélanger- I like the way Kioti as to leave 3 points arms in place when installing the Backhoe
Tony Lay- Very informative video. Good job, and thanks for the info.
mtnfordman- Enjoyed your video and congrats on having a very nice machine.
m db- Excellent Review mate. Cheers
andlinux- That's fast your backhoe review !As always great review, very good video and sound editing, good voice over.Good demo to see how you can work with this.The new machines can do more than the old ones, we've got an old Deutz D30 tractor here :)
Kaegis- I want either the Kioti or a Foton 60hp. Problem in Australia is that everything is too expensive compared to say, USA where you guys get better pricing. There is no laws in Australia that says how much something has to be sold for. Unfortunately.

Xtinnoker- great review.
Blast357- you should try to move the boom toward you while digging, just curling the bucket hold the dirt against the boom and it falls on the pins. not that it will break something but its dirty and the paint will come off ;)
kiotiwild- Very well done video. I recently purchased a ck30 with the same backhoe. It is hard to find helpful videos for the Kioti. I am having some difficulty getting the boom latch to engage on mine. The ears don't seem to reach over the pins on the boom. Any suggestions?
mymomsagirlpoopgood- please make more of these
r1bourg- I have a B7510 Kubota with a 6 foot Woods backhoe. Have pulled many hardwood stumps to 15 in diameter. Just need to be patient. Start about 15 inches out where roots will break off. Can use the aide of a saws all. Dig all around then rock the stump to loosen underside roots and dirt. Then pull horizontally using root as a leaver. Do this a few times then roll up out of hole. My machine is a 21 hp so lifting the stump out is a challange. Some are easy at 2 hours and a 2 foot is all day.Good review of Kioti.
smokeringtx- cool review! fixin to get me a kioti tmrw
Teddy Moore- sir, looks like you are missing the metal pads that bolt to the downrigger feet. I see the bolt holes like mine.
vincent Hébré- Very interesting , thank you very much.Do you think this backhoe have enough power for removing stump ? ( 10-15 inch diameter )
