    Give LSE a call. Mike claims to be a high volume dealer that sells all over the country.

    I'm not trying to talk bad about Kioti BUT, a good friend of mine bought a used one several years ago. The front hogs head exploded from lack of oil on his way home. He lived 3 miles from the guy he bought it from. Yeah, it could have been prevented, etc.

    Last week it stopped moving, he text me Saturday and said the synchronizer something something is bad in the trans and it's gonna be almost $7 grand to fix it and he's just going to buy something else.

    I don't know if the trans is a common problem or not. His is a CK27.

    hard to get a better deal on an old one cause you wont get that 0% financing...

    that payment says you are looking at about $32K tractor. Thats a LOT of tractor. or a lot of extra's.....

    you can get into a CK3510 or 4010 for way less than that in my area. My CK4010 with FEL was $25k when purchased.
    Maybe they went up a good bit?

    Inflation is a bitch, and it has impacted the tractor market pretty hard.

    Looks like a Kioti CK3510 HST is about $26k now. If only I knew I needed a tractor when I bought my house 3 1/2 years ago. :annoyed:

    Yep it looks like the prices went up a good bit.

    Isn't that how it always goes?

    They come to market with a great product cheaper than the competitors.... Then after selling a bunch they jump up real close to everyone else's....

    Sure hope mine lives a long time.

    Getting ready to head out to the shop & drill out some trailer pins.

    I've got a bunch that have the little slide thru cotter pin thing to hold them on.
    Gonna bore that hole out to take a regular flip lock tractor pin.

    Any of you guys done this before? Looks like it should still be plenty strong.

    Even if its a bit more, sometimes the local dealer can be better than getting it cheaper from somewhere you cant go to for service. Just something to consider too.

    I'll put this here for you with sheds. I had a piece of 4" pvc pipe I found on the side of the road about 10' long and cut a slot with the skilsaw and slid it over my tin where I walk into my shop to keep the water from running on my head when it rains. I drilled some holes on top of the pipe and screwed it into the ridge on the tin. I sealed the high end so it will go the way I want it. We'll try it for real tomorrow, can't beat free fiddy.
