Well, if it's any help to you or anyone else....After owning both a CK20 and CK25, these tractors are tough! I've really worked both units hard without ANY mechanical failure. I searched long and hard before buying my CK20 a few years ago, and after checking all the major manufacturers websites (and dealership lots) for specification comparisons (Massey, Kubota, Case, JD, New Holland) NONE of them offer a competatively priced unit. Kioti has all of them beat by a mile on lift capacities both 3 point and loader, as well as standard options. I have been very pleased with both of my units and am currently looking to upgrade to a DK40 or 45. The Kioti tractors even look to be built tougher without any shortcuts being taken in production. Hope this helps someone out there!
