The CK20 is a very nice tractor and would in all likelihood have been plenty of machine for what we do on our property. However, I also know that most people like me (1st time buyer of a new tractor since I ran our old Ford 8n growing up) wishes they would have purchased the next size up. So I carefully looked at our specific needs and figured out that a 25hp unit would be fine, in fact, it's what four of my neighbors with similar properties have and they do just fine. So with all that in mind I ordered a DK4520 Gear drive with a loader, a heavy 6 foot box blade, pallet forks, and a post hole digger with a 12" auger. Two of my neighbors have John Deere's, one has a New Holland, and one has a Bobcat. I'll be the only one in this area with a Kioti. This channel and others helped me to decide on the Kioti brand...
Hi Mike, I love my CK4010. The one thing I wish Kioti would do, is to improve the hydraulic system or valve for the front end loader. It could be a little faster, and combining the lift-curl, and down and dump functions like the Kubota would make a great improvement.
Mike, the CK20 series are very nice tractors with a wide ranges of features and options that will help get the job done. Thank you for taking the time to put together another educational LSE video on a reliable and fantastic Kioti tractor! Take care and I’ll see you down the road…
Great job Mike we started with a ck 35 hp se and now went with DK 5310 and it is a great tractor. We also purchased the Kioti zero turns last year and great products thanks to you and Anthony.
Canadian viewer here , yes we have to comply with emissions rules. I absolutely love my 26/20 se cab tractor. Purchased after four years of looking at tractors from nearly every manufacturer.
The CK series is very nice. I considered them but I decided on a Dk4210SE instead. The extra 500 pounds loader capacity was the biggest selling point. I just moved 10 tons of stone today in no time. It’s a pleasure to operate!
That's why we went with a DK. I have very large boulders to move, land to clear, roads to maintain, post holes to dig, etc. My dealer added 80 lb weights to each rear wheel and filled the rear tires with ballast. I also leave the 530 lb box blade on the back when doing loader work. Such a great setup!
Mike, I want to thank you. I have been looking at these 2620 tractors and Kioti's website seems pretty vague, or just plain hard to find, what exactly comes on the standard tractor. Well you cleared that up. I may have missed it due to interruptions, but I’m not sure the tires. Are AG tires standard and then an upsell to get the R14s? Thanks.
I own a KIOTI CK 30 and it is a little older but with the same options except a 30 hp engine with out any emissions. Also own a larger Kubota 5140. After owning both for many years, I will say that the KIOTI is a much better tractor in my opinion. I like my plain Jane and hope KIOTI keeps its quality the same. The paint is amazing. The kubota, not so much. The orange finish is a weird shade of pink. Comment on cruise control, “stupid”
Kioti's website lists the open station CK2620 weight as 2679lbs. You are comparing the cab version against the open station models from Deere and Kubota.
I do have a question, the rear outside level to raise/lower the 3 point hitch arms while behind the tractor. Standard on se models. Is there a kit to add this to a non-se ?
Why do they cut themselves out of so many buyers. They need to lower the bend in the rops so that people can put it in their garage, everybody doesn't have a 7 foot garage.

That's fantastic. You bought a heck of a solid tractor.

Fantastic review. Does the CK2620 start easily enough for you in the winters of Great White North?
@@LSE_TRACTOR sure does.
@@northernhumidor5615 Thank you for the answer. As you can imagine, it's a bit milder here.
I’m running a 72” snowblower on a 2620 and have no complaints so far. I’m quite impressed with this machine

James, thank you for sharing! Yes, same HP as the CK4020 with more loader capacity.
Thank you for your videos ! I wish I could have bought from you but your 125 miles away, but I did come and buy some accessories. Thanks again !
Great job good info. Thank you

Ag (R1) tires are standard, and Industrial (R4) are optional at no extra charge. R14's are available for $220.00 more.
Q can you talk about draft control? and the 4 spots you can pin the top link and how it effects the draft? T494/T574
For now I know kioti is the best baby for the buck... Best tractor period with a discount price

I am not. I said "Tractor and Loader" every time I spoke of weight
@@LSE_TRACTOR I am referecing the spreadsheet at the end of your video.
I do have a question, the rear outside level to raise/lower the 3 point hitch arms while behind the tractor. Standard on se models. Is there a kit to add this to a non-se ?
Not all "SE" models, it is only standard and available for the cab models.
@@LSE_TRACTOR ok, so not available as a kit for non cab models?
Roger that, Sir
Nice Thanks. CK2620/87 hrs. - N Idaho -

I didn't think that there were lower garage doors, than 7'.
You can fold it down. It's not that difficult.
Never seen a garage door lower than 7 feet...😅
I forgot to tell you I bought it with 20 hours and did I tell you I love hats and enlarge shirt
P r o m o s m 👊
Get to the point
