I am looking at a Kioti CK20 to replace my JD655. I have looked at the JD 4110, but since my the engine on the 655 failed catastrophically after only 530 hours (apparently a design flaw with the injectors) I am not to happy with JD.
The Kioti appears well built, actually very well built, and for the money seems a much better buy. My question is the transmission on the Kioti. Does their HST transmission have a clutch? My JD has a hydrostatic transmission with only forward and reverse pedals …. No clutch. I plan to ask the dealer when I get back next weekend, but thought I would ask.
Thanks

The CK 20 may have a clutch (not sure).
I believe I read somewhere they do have a Clutch. Its not needed for Forward/reversing or stopping, only for changing range High/low . ....

I just purchased a Kioti CK-20 HST. It does have a clutch pedal. You need to have the clutch pedal pushed down to start the tractor and to shift from Hi to Lo or Lo to Hi ranges, just like mentioned above. One other thing though, the clutch pedal has a hook that you can lock the pedal in the "down" position - (disengaged), if you will not be using your tractor for a few months. This prevents the clutch disc from rusting to the clutch plate thus making for an interesting start on the next time you want to use your tractor. It has been known that tractors with clutches, no matter who made them, can have this occur if the tractor is stored for several months without being used. Whos would ever drem of storing a tractor like that for several months without using it. I try to find things to do with mine all the time, even driving around the back yard. ....
