This fellow speaks the truth, time to get on changing that. 🍻

That's that sweet, sweet, SE package. 😉 Very nice! Welcome to the club/family/fraternal organization/sorority... 🤣

What is the OEM, is it Iseki? If you found the equivalent model, perhaps that could make it easier to narrow down?

Because our manufacturer of choice doesn't like us, let alone love us. 😥

Had to look those up; no thank you.

Are you making an analogy regarding the difference between folks in power and those who are not; or are you suggesting the possibility that aliens have infiltrated our bureaucracy? Regarding the former; they're still people, even if they're not the people. Regarding the later? I'm open to it...

Which, for better and worse, is made of people. Not only people, but a group of them, and groups of people are the worst.

Dementia is terrifying; I'm sorry your other-half's mother is going through this. Just take the cleaning and sorting as it comes, it's going to be emotional. I'm sorry you and the missus are going through this, and it's admirable, the extent your doing your best to be there for her and her...

Not long ago I saw a thread on this, let me see if I can dig it up; I'm under the impression it's basically a Check Engine Light.

Roughly 5 horsepower per foot; however a finish mower at least seems to offer a little more flexibility. I'd attribute this to it's regular use as lawn or field maintenance, as opposed to clearing overgrown areas.

Serious question here- are you surprised by this?

Have any self-driving pieces of political goodwill collided yet? I'm hoping the footage will at least be amusing.

What a world we live in. The only thing worse than people is more people.

I've spent a lot of recreational time around windmills, despite my loathing of them, and I've never seen one lose a blade. That would be terrifying. What I oddly enjoy is the very odd noise they make; a lot of folks find it un-nerving, and I suppose I did at first too, but they're kind of...

Your windmills are cordoned off? How are you supposed to urinate on them if you can't get to them?

Great analogy, and solid advice.

Had to look up what that is/was; fascinating.

Man, that does look like an exceptional time.

Who installed the Rimguard? Was it your Kioti dealer?

Neil already took a pretty good ribbing for this bit of fear mongering; I felt it a bit unbecoming of him. Now, that isn't to say there won't consolidation in the industry, but it's not likely going to be one of the OEM manufacturers. Kioti, TYM, Mahindra, LS; these companies are not likely to...

Toothbar? I'm a fan of the BXpanded Piranha; I had one on my old Deere, and just installed one on the Kioti. I'm a fan.

The best selling bit is explicitly what I was reffering to.

All squares may be rectangles, but a rectangle is not necessarily a square. None the less, I didn't realize who DeWalt's parent company was, so thank you.

I'm under the impression it was Stanley Black & Decker that owns Cub Cadet now. Still, an odd thing.

That is so crazy; it's a little scary, kind of cool, and just unique. I never would have imagined I'd learn so much from thread necromancy. An adorable little bird that impales it's prey like a psychopath.

I run a 60" on my CK2610 and have yet to run into a situation where it's been a problem; however, I had the blade when I purchased the tractor. If I were buying new I'd probably opt for a 72 inch, but if the price is right I don't think you'd regret the 5' box.

Coincidently enough, your local New Holland dealer carries the Workmaster 25S, which is an MT125 in a nicer blue. I'm sure Lowes will sell enough of them; this was announced at the big machinery show this year.

🤣🤣 How do you guys like it?

Bobcat supplies their own attachments, whether it's their own or another supplier; so there is actually a pretty big difference in the capabilities.

What Ariens is that, the Ikon?

The new large frame MT2 machines are something else; the cab model especially is full of nice features and what looks to be a really comfortable layout. I know it's a simple thing, but the HVAC controls on the fender, with the plastic cover, I think that will be a hit.

Residential zero-turns typically don't have a ROPS.

My dealer suggested Shell to save some money; here is the lubricant page for the CK-10 series.

It is rather annoying that they've got that caveat in the marketing; I don't understand why, given the manuals with the equipment rate it at full height from the pin, something like ~95 inches. Now the worst thing Kioti ever did was create the KL2610 loader; what a piece that was, and the...

Kioti needs to really clarify this stuff. The KL4030C lists 1,969 pounds, at the pin, to full height; that's right from the Owner's Manual. Tractor Data lists the same numbers, and also lists the KL4030's numbers, which are similar, and also at full height...

So there was just a blanket implication that the homeschooled are stupid, and it was indeed out of nowhere? I wasn't going back through the thread to see if there was any tie-in.

How predictable.

That is a really cool little tractor.

I feel like somewhere between A and Z, I ended up with numbers.

Care to expand on this? I don't recall seeing the topic brought up prior.

Maybe you've just got a pretty sweet AC. 😏😏

This was my thought as well; TYM has taken over all the channels I watch.

I mean if you're going on specs, a 20 series TYM will out work a Kioti CK all day long; the TYM is a larger frame size, and therefore a more capable machine. The only way the two will compare is on PTO horsepower.

That's rough; may your neighbors be blessed with the supportive community it sounds like you folks have. It's good to hear the majority of livestock made it, and especially that the family is well.

So I re-read your post; what has you settled on these two? They're quite different. I've got a CK myself, a 2610, and it's a great little tractor. Excellent hydraulics; however, the TYM would naturally be superior in that regard, it's a larger machine.

@ptsg hit the nail on the head; a more direct comparison would be the Kioti DK-20 and TYM 20 series, or Kioti CK-20 and TYM 15 series.

At this point, that'd have to be on purpose.

What happens when laborers are obsolete?

The lack of unskilled labor at an affordable cost is a problem we created; but, most of our problems are of our own volition

Yes, you don't have payroll for a computer. We are automating ourselves to hell.

You'd think the warranty would be easier to find...

Congratulations on living through the Carter administration; can I get you a cookie? Perhaps some milk?

More than likely it's due to insurance or taxes; some places get real particular.

Always the best option.

There are worse situations to be in than having to buy a new truck, lol; tough choice, though. I think, personally, I'd go with the Ram as I'm under the impression they're making deals. They're the "oldest" HD on the market, they're selling slow right now, and they're up for a re-design soon...

I've got an old Fluke that left the Army with me; it just works, so long as there are batteries.

I, unfortunately, have no doubt about that.

4 years ago you could still find a worthwhile fixer-upper in Northern Maine for around $50k. COVID raped the local housing market.

Ah, cool!

Is Andrew a neighbors kid? It's wonderful you've got someone you can rely on to take care of the place while you're out, and that you've invited him to be a part of the process. Now, obviously the kid is going to enjoy anything he can operate, it's all new and fun; what is YOUR opinion on it...

That's... not at all one I recognize.

That's a great idea; it's creative, and avoids copyright infringement lol. It will look so good!

Yeah. I know. I don't live there, I live here, and I still can't afford it. Thanks for working hard to keep reality right in my sights, lest I drift off to a world as crazy and unrealistic as 5 years ago. My tractor and my truck combined don't add up to a modern mortgage payment, it's *******...

Needs and wants are different things; you're not going to explain the enthusiasm into me.

I just like V8's, but what I like doesn't sell. It's not whining to lament the loss.

I'm under the distinct impression you'd go to your local Kubota dealer. 😄

They're coming; of course farms have to continue existing to buy new equipment.

No thank you, lol; I don't have a quarter mil to drop on a house, a used tractor of that price is just a painful tease. 🤣

In 10 years the used models will start making it out my way. 🤣

They sure are pretty, but they don't exist in my region; I've never seen one in person.

That's a really good price!

Oh I've posted the photo before; the accident is going on 2 years ago, and I'm just lucky I didn't kill myself or anyone else. If you'd like to know details I don't mind, but I'd rather do it through PM.

Looking around the website gives me the feeling it's a scam page; be careful Willy. [EDIT]: While I couldn't get a picture of the actual address, it's a residential area. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/New-Hampshire-Ave-Bay-Shore-NY-11706/111539470_zpid/

Misuse of a safety device. Like leaving the ROPS down and putting your seatbelt on. 🤢

It was; it never struggled to find the right gear, and had power for days. One hell of a truck. Fortunately, it was just me and my own damned foolishness. It was bad, but one of those situations where one has no one to blame but themselves, but sometimes we need that smack upside the head to...

The 8 speed automatics RAM uses might be the best transmissions on the market right now; I genuinely miss the transmission from my RAM 1500 more than any other one thing from that truck. I can also attest that they're a safe truck.

Under 25 horsepower doesn't have to meet the same standards; though I believe that changes for Tier V. 🤢

Well, we get a few outages a year that last a couple days. We try to be ready with fuel on hand for the generator, but it's not like we have the ability to keep more than a few cans around at the moment. Yet I can't help but think we're still better prepared than many by virtue of at least trying.

I can't offer any help, but I'll give your post a bump to keep it at the top of the page.

Your dealer is full of it; now I would use the Kioti filters, but even my dealer suggested I go with Shell over Kioti fluids to save a few bucks. So long as it matches the listed specifications, you're good to go. You can read the warranty right here. It's a PDF file from their website.

That is so cool!

Finished it just before dark.

I do forget that the 2610/20SE doesn't have an ECM; now if only it was available open station.

Well, if anything could get me out west, it would be something involving my tractor. Have you reached out to owners to gauge interest?

Finished one side after getting back from the hardware store, but now the little guy has a baseball game. Guess I'll set another battery on the charger... 🤣

There's got to be something about it; the way you talk about it, the stories I'd heard growing up, it was like welding was almost a calling- an art so to speak.

Welding is really an art; my grandfather was a welder for the local shipyard, and my uncle does underwater welding at the same place. I have always thought it was extremely cool, yet I have never tried.

Those did well to capture the feeling. 🤣

Feel like coming out East? 🤣

Is Kioti still in the pipes for a turbo kit?

I ran my step bit (I think that's what it's called?) down to nothing, almost through the first hole. So I got everything ready to do the other side, and I'll grab two new bits in the AM. This is happening now; lol, it's personal, like a bad sequel. The Kioti is outside for the night, sitting on...

I enjoy the heck out of little things like this, so it's fun for me. That said, the CK10/20SE series have the telescopic stabilizers, but they also have DPF and an ECM.

For better or worse, that's one personality trait my stepfather left me with; the ability to start a project with no end date.

There, just in case... ...I get around to finishing this tomorrow.

...is boring. A long while back I picked up telescoping stabilizers for my Kioti; they'd be on now, but you need to weld on a part. I don't weld. Since then I've considered taking the piece to be welded on to the lift arms, I've looked at TYM part only to see they wouldn't work. Come to find...

Some folks suggested purchasing the sister something for the garden, as a continuation of the birthday wishes; I like that. I'd do that with the remainder, after I did top off the diesel used.

Awesome!

How is your dealer? This is an important question, particularly with Mahindra. Some dealers don't make tractors, dealer prep, pre-delivery inspections, customer service, or continuing existence a priority.

If you can't be her matchmaker, consider putting her up on Craigslist to a good home? Around here someone would take her in, just out of love of chickens.

I don't need to, I've got a CK; however, the NS 4710 caught my eye a while back, and one day I'll own one. Maybe the NS 4720 will have a proper fold to it. Of course, if we're one day-ing, I really like the NS cab. It's a really nice machine, strong and simple. Comfortable.

That floor mat is worth it, just for the foot comfort alone.

Like, why doesn't it have the same bar as the NX? 🤷‍♂️

I am really disappointed that they didn't use a more traditional fold with the NS' ROPS, it's so large and awkward.

Now that is going to be useful!

It's good to hear you were able to work with the credit card company, but it's terrible you were caught so blindsided.

Maybe use a 6 foot blade? Or 5.5? I used to clear snow with a subcompact, and moving from a garden tractor it was a big step up. Yeah, the Kioti CK I have now obviously does a better job, but a payloader would do even better. That's a sliding scale for sure.

Oh ****! Yes, you may very well want this! It links the throttle response to the drive pedals, and allows you to operate at a lower general RPM, the machine increasing it according to pedal response.

Get a 3rd function even if you're not planning for a grapple; plan to expand, plan to find more than you ever imagined for that tractor to do. It'll never be less of a headache to add these items than now. What about telescoping link ends? I don't think telescopic stabilizers are an option for...

It's funny about LS operator stations, they used to be terrible. I don't mean recently, but 20 or so years ago. Look at LS/LG made Farmtrac and Montana tractors, they were pretty mediocre even for the time. Well, that's my opinion; I think others may have said something, because they offer among...

What year is that Ford? That interior is clean.

Very cool.

That's a pretty good, simple, solution.

Since that cat was sent Amazon does it still have 9 lives? Or is 7 a more realistic number?

That sure is a nice machine, and LS knows cab ergonomics. How are you liking that comfortable operator station?

In which case, love them as I may, the dogs are my last priority. At the end of the day, they're animals.

I had to turn off the window controls in the back too, because my Shepherd figured it out.

I just fold the ROPS. I already damaged the garage with the old 1025R, I can't do much worse than that with the Kioti if I'm at idle, feathering it into the garage.

And that's how Gen Z adapts to heavy equipment; or perhaps how heavy equipment adapts to them.

Looks just right to me!

That is really damn cool.

Man, that does sound good. Personally I'd add some pickle slices and white onion!

Officers always come into the room looking for attention. 🤣🤣 Welcome, brother.

Those are my thoughts as well; the missus disagrees with me, but we don't have to worry about that any time soon. I wouldn't be comfortable with the idea.

While this is true, Arly doesn't strike me as the type to neglect regular maintenance. It'll see those oil changes, no doubt.

It seems you've made the right choice. 🍻

That does sound real good.

I ate a good number of those as a kid; not my favorite, but not bad at all either. If they were good enough for the King, who was I to complain? 🤣

How much of this 5 acres are you planning to mow?

As someone who purchased a box blade new, I've got to second this; buy used if you can.

This is crazy and true; for many there is a weird psychological bit where if something is being given away we feel it's worthless. Yet, the same thing could get a small price tag on it and someone will inevitably purchase or steal it.

It's worth asking a couple bucks for on CL or Marketplace. They're good for what they are, sure enough. You'll really get more use out of a proper sized box anyhow. 48 to 60 inches, depending on the overall size.

You make me want to make financial decisions that will displease the wife; like buying a 20 year old diesel pickup. It's awesome to see you so thrilled with the truck.

I've got to say, there are folks on here who could argue with you about anything- but no one can say you've got bad taste.

I watched that one a while back and really enjoyed it; he really goes into the plus/minus of the machine. What blows my mind is the half-assed Chinese cooling system rigged to the Kubota diesel. If this fellow wasn't so mechanically inclined he would have been screwed.

Nope; sell it, buy a proper one. A subcompact tractor will eat that Brinly. It's a good product, but wrong class of equipment; not to mention it won't cover the track of the machine.

That's not bad at all these days. I paid $27k for a CK2610 outfitted like an SE 2 or 3 years ago; so between inflation, a higher horsepower engine, and the SE package I'd say $33k feels right. Go take those specs and price out a Deere or Kubota... 🤢

I have nothing good to say about this.

You may be right, you may be wrong, lol; I had to build my 2610 the way I wanted it. The new machines, SE or not, are all pre-wired for it- and that's pretty cool.

I don't recall them over coming with a 3rd function; are you thinking of rear remotes?

This. I won't talk down any other type, but I will say out of all the grease guns and fittings I've used, Lock N Lube is the easiest and most convenient. I've been nothing but impressed.

Between me, my wife, and my children, we have quite the assortment. They've got bottles of all kinds, I might grab one, but just as often I'll fill a coffee thermos with water.

You know, I don't remember what I paid for mine, but on the CK-10 series they didn't have the buttons pre-wired on the SCV arm. So I would at least think that would save some on the price. This new Kioti setup looks nice; back when I purchased my tractor the dealer recommended the W.R. Long...

Well, easy enough; crew cab truck, put the seats up. When I get out, put the windows down a little and make sure the 40/20/40 split bench is up, and they're confined to the back. Of course this does nothing to contain hair, but it works otherwise.

I just saw this thread; the missus brought home two bushes last weekend. They're a first for me.

We sure are running backwards into the fire.

You have to push past that point; they don't want you accidentally dropping the loader into float.

Men are women, women are men, and if my wife's Kia identifies as a forklift so be it. 🤣

I'd trust a 4.3 to do more towing in the long term than any turbo 4; there is no science behind it, just personal opinion and bias, lol. You've got a good truck.

Lots of intersectionality here, like a modern college campus. I used to haul firewood in the trunk of a 1986 Crown Victoria; it saw more use as a truck than a lot of the pickups owned by my peers at the time. Though I suppose that it was just a lame sedan, with it's anemic 5.0, lol.

So you're going to say this and not post pictures of what I presume is a Ram TRX? Rude. 🤣

Call a local news channel, explain the situation to them; they'll eat this up, and you'll find a resolution. Most affiliate stations have some form of consumer protection department; our local CBS station calls it 'On Your Side.'

I'm not reaching here, this isn't a hill I'm trying to die on, your arguments have just been poor thus far. I would make the informal argument that a truck in the traditional North American sense was a body-on-frame, front-engine, rear-wheel drive vehicle (typically with the option of a...

Literally from what you just posted- "vast majority feature"

Here is a fun one; this was my wife's when we married, and it was a fun ride.

I never called it a pickup, I called it a truck, and I did so for a reason.

Different states would differ; here in Maine an S-10 Blazer and a Silverado half-ton are both passenger cars, but that doesn't make either a Mercury Sable. I'm not speaking of how your state organizes vehicles into different registrations, I don't care how they want to tax things. I'm speaking...

That's so foreign to me; as long as you're under 10k you can run passenger plates all day, over that you need 'commercial' plates. I basically have passenger plates on my F350, and it's totally cool so long as I don't go over 10k pounds GCWR. I can only speak for Maine, though. Ironically, at...

S-10 Blazer had a full-frame; certainly a truck by modern standards. 😉

Bush Hog makes sturdy landscape rakes, varying sizes and weights, though they're a little pricey.

The '99-'07 GM trucks are among my favorite, great workhorses and good family vehicles too. I owned 4 of them over the years. That said, where do you live to have separate registration classes for a half-ton pickup?

I don't know what your truck is, but it sounds fun, and I enjoy fun. [EDIT]: I, obviously, missed the photo that is there now. That is cool.

It's a small tractor, but a tractor none the less; the Ridgeline is a small truck, but a truck none the less. The Ridgeline won't do all the things my F350 can do, but frankly, my F350 will never do all the things my F350 can do. My basic needs could be met with a Ridgeline, it's just not my...

Well, I died choking on my coffee as I read that.

Folks, if you're going to insult one another, at least put some effort into it. I've heard considerably more creative vitriol out of my 13 year olds peers.

Oh wow, Pika, that is impressive.

Yup; you want to talk about a machine to not be trifled with.

Well seeded spam has been reported.

If I let another man slap me like a ***** for a few minutes can I make enough money to pay off most off my debts? I'm alright with that.

What loader and bucket? I'd recommend the 66" bucket.

Amen. In a tractor this small you'll never get the maximum lift out of the loader without ballast; these machines will lift a lot, but without counterweight you'll find your arse end in the air long before then. Personally, I run loaded tires and a box blade, as I don't like the single use...

I'll also say this, we know our children more than anyone else. By age 6, my oldest had his own little lawn tractor, sans deck; my youngest? Nah, nope, he got a Power Wheels tractor; that little turd is far too daring for his own good.

I'm just going to say that as a tractor guy I wouldn't let my 8 year old operate a zero-turn; as an adult I found myself quite surprised at how fast those things move the first time I operated one. That's not a tractor, in a child's hands it seems more an armed go-kart.

The salesman tried to talk him OUT of the CX? What the... 🤔

I'd consider getting something like this.

I will be buying these from my dealer, but I've also purchased parts from Nolts and Michigan Iron and Equipment. They're both really reliable. Hope that helps!

I love that interior; it's great when you've got dogs, and it's why I like the basic interior of my truck. You guys will get a lot out of this new Ford.

No, not in a machine with as flexible maintenance tolerances as a tractor.

Man, I wish the damn Wuhan Flu hadn't killed Joe Diffie. 😢

Would you say that you had to Fix It Again, Tony? 🤭

I'm sure it's going to hit like 'DUH,' but better to ask the question than remain in the dark. That's what forums like this are here for.

1/10 of an hour is 6 minutes; for example, 6/10 would be 36 minutes of engine run time. It's literally just the minutes until the next hour is added to the clock. 🍻

I guess I'm getting old, they look like sisters to me... 😢😄

Hooking up isn't the problem, clearance is; that is what makes them 'limited' Category 1.

@SmallChange that is extremely impressive, I wouldn't have given any thought to setting up something so useful in such a small place; it seems so, industrial, on a miniature scale.

Mitsubishi made. 😉

If you don't mind, would you post a picture of this setup? It's not something I'm about to copy, but the idea sounds really inventive.

The CX is your sweet spot, and from the sound of it you know that; now, to get him on board. If you're insistent on one machine the CK wouldn't be for you. You can mow your lawn with it, of course, but you don't want to; it's not a lightweight. How is your property? Is it hilly? Rutted...

You'll never regret the CX over the CS; that said, just how heavy are these bales? You may find the CS to not even be an option if they outweigh the small machines abilities. Have you looked at the CK2620 (or a leftover CK2610)? Are you two insistent that all this be done with one machine? A...

New ballast is always a welcome addition! Today I ordered loader stops and a Piranha bar for the Kioti; next comes filters and oil to make up for a little neglect.

That looks quite rugged; stout was mentioned prior, I think that's a good assessment from afar.

I love that, even buying used, you color matched to the Ranger. 🤣 I look forward to seeing how the Bronco Sports works out for you. I really like them on principle, but I'm a giant so I have long ruled them out. They're quite handsome vehicles, and your dogs obviously approve of the interior.

Yes, yes I am; it's got me this far.

With an MX I think you're a prime target for the Pro! I took to thinking about it and decided to go with the standard Piranha; my need for a factory look is outweighed by my wallet and a bit of mulling. I placed the order. I am definitely looking forward to mounting it on the Kioti.

The load distribution on that trailer looks great; the two axles must really help.

Man, that's rough; good luck on the change.

I laughed so hard that I started coughing. 🤣

Beautiful machine as always; the weather is looking nice too.

That's an excellent outlook, and your neighbor I am sure will enjoy the outings.

A little money into it and that truck will be an absolute gem; excellent find!
