On the price: The maker's own published starting figure for the base build. A dealer adds a loader, a deck and freight on top.

Lift figures are the maker's and are quoted at whichever point the maker chose; the about page explains why two loaders with the same number do not lift the same pallet.

From owner discussion and long-term write-ups

What owners say

What they like

  • 1,631 lb at the 3-point is compact-class capacity from a 24.5 hp machine, 400 lb more than the sub-compact CX2510 manages
  • The KL4040 loader lifts 1,657 lb at the pivot pin and reaches 98.5 in, which is genuine trailer- and truck-loading height
  • 9.0 gal of fuel, up half again on the CS and CX models, so a morning of loader work does not need a jerry can
  • Under 25 hp means Tier 4 Final without a diesel particulate filter, rare in a 2,690 lb compact
  • 72-month powertrain coverage with no hour cap and 24 months bumper-to-bumper with no deductible
  • Gear, hydrostatic, SE and cab trims all share this chassis

What they complain about

  • 24.5 hp moving 2,690 lb plus a loader is the thinnest power-to-weight ratio in the CK line
  • 10.5 gpm is the lowest pump flow of any CK, and the CK3520 above it jumps to 11.7
  • Kioti lists loaders by tier rather than by model, so which loader a dealer actually pairs here is worth confirming in writing
  • The 1,631 lb hitch figure comes with no measuring point, so it is not directly comparable to a maker quoting lift at the ball ends
  • It sits about $900 above the CK2620 at identical horsepower, and Kioti does not spell out on one page what that money buys

A 1,969 lb loader hung on a 24-horsepower compact is the headline here, and nothing Deere or Kubota sells at this output comes close to it. The $20,712 figure is for the hydrostatic CK2620H; the manual version saves about a thousand.

The 20-tier CK at 34.9 hp, and the cheapest way into Kioti's 1,826 cc common-rail engine. Its KL4030C loader lifts 1,969 lb at the pin - more than the pricier 40-tier CK3540 - which is the argument for buying the older tier. Gear $24,265, hydrostatic $25,171, cab $36,937.
