Read articles →An owner-operator's honest critique of the Kioti CK2620 at roughly 42-50 hours of real use, structured as a 5-loves / 10-hates list. The complaints are specific and pointed, jerky loader hydraulics, aggressive stabilizer feet, loader geometry problems with forks on slopes, and a warranty-related story involving TYM. Best for shoppers seriously comparing Kioti against Kubota or John Deere on loader performance and value.
An owner-operator on a budget rural property in Oklahoma sharing candid first-hand impressions, with no apparent dealership affiliation, though limited equipment experience is acknowledged in the video itself.
