Not on mine. Are people sure there is someone with float on rear remotes. I honestly had never heard of float on rear remotes before. There is sometimes confusion about spring loaded remote valve or not but I don't recall float as an issue.

My dealer say's "No such Beast as float on those remotes"

Well. I went with the bobcat. I couldn't pass on the savings. Along with the savings came 0 % for 5 years and free delivery. I'll pay the 350 for the rear remotes and still be way ahead. I will most likely add 3 rd function and a joystick type loader handle with buttons for a future grapple. Near future. Keep up the good posts on this site. It's been great reads and ill be hanging around for sure.

Good Job and welcome to the pack, the albino Kioti

Lol. I second that. Just keep out of the sun.

What would FLOAT on the rear remotes be good for ???
The 3 point has no down pressure on basically floats. I have no idea what you would use float for with rear remotes.
I know I have never run into anything where I needed a float feature on my rear remotes.

Hey, an orange rattle can will fix that bob-kitty right up.. Congratulations on your new tractor. White or Orange, don't make no difference, you will enjoy the heck out of it.!

James, Didn't you say you had a float setting on your remote?

Nope not me.. I had the detentes removed, but that does not equal a float setting.. not like what you have on the FEL.

That's what I was tinking about, sorry.

I would have done the same thing. When Bobcat pulls the plug just by a few extra cans of Chevy Engine Orange and come back to the Kioti forum. We don't discriminate against albino tractors.

Top link, believe it or not, there are people that mow stuff so rough that the articulated point on the mower does not allow for enough movement of the mower and using a chain for the top link IS NOT SAFE and only allows for extra movement towards the tractor, not away from it.

Side link, yes the 3pt hitch can float up and down. But it will not allow an implement to float side to side. That is where a floating side link can make a huge difference with how a project comes out. There must be some use for it, all the deluxe John Deeres starting at the 3000 series have it mechanically available in their lower clevises along with Kubota with the 8540 and up. Several of the other manufacturers also have this floating option available on their larger tractors. All the different manufacturers that offer this have it built into the lower clevises of the 3pt hitch. All that I suggest, is to have it available in the hydraulic at the tip of your hand vs the clevis and have to stop the tractor each time you need this to make use of this option manually.

I personally use this option when finish grading my roads. At intersections, the camber of the road changes going from one road to another. You don't want the implement to follow the tractor as it changes, but want the implement to follow the actual ground that it is above. Another TBN member "Piston" uses the float function to rake his rough fields and is quite happy with the outcome.

Just a few examples.

Well then, My Landpride mower has the extra long top link connection. Kioti does not offer a float on remotes.

That is to bad if this is true. I have a call into my local Kioti dealer (about 200 miles away) and at least they said that they had no idea if it was available or not. Apparently Kioti is closed for the holidays and he said that he was going to check and get back with me next week.

I know for a fact that many Kubota guys had no idea that Kubota offered their rear remotes with the float function. But then again many dealers have no idea what Top & Tilt links are either.

Draft. Float on rear remotes. Orange paint.

The only reason I wanted to float is my hydraulic top link for ease of hooking up implements. The cylinder would not have a fast enough reaction for use on a shredder. too slow.

I could not get float on my remotes. Why?

The second set of remotes I added to my CK30 had float and I assumed the second set for the DK would be the same, but it wasn't. I haven't asked about it, but it probably won't make a difference at this point.

Is there a float option for the loader ?

No, all the loaders have a float position. Most loaders from most manuf. from the past 20 + years will have it standard as well.

kiotiken, did you install the 2nd set on both of your tractors or did the dealer? Are they the same type of valve as in will the valve for the CK bolt onto the DK?

I knew that there was someone on TBN that had float with one of their remotes on a Kioti. So it is at least a possibility. :cool2:

No, the dealer did both. They were installing a cab on the CK so they added the second set while they still could (easily) and the DK has a factory cab and I was told one of the rear (loaded) tires would have to come off and that it was going to be a 2-3 hour job for the dealer. Since I didn't want to play with an 800# tire and figured 2-3 hrs for them was 2-3 days for me, I took a pass and let them do it.

The levers in the cab are vastly different on the DK vs the CK, but I don't know about the valves themselves. I did mean to ask why the one they just installed didn't have float, I'll try to remember the next time I'm talking to them.

I am still confused about float on rear remotes. How do you set the float position and what does it do? I understand and use float on my FEL.

Agree, How do you go past the c or d position? Maybe he means detent?

 

[kiotiken]

Exactly the same as the FEL. For the remote, there was a C and D position and beyond the D (if memory serves, but whatever was down) it went into float. As for why you want float in remotes, I think I actually started a thread way back asking the same thing. Some people pointed to implements that could be used for it, but the one answer that makes sense to me (and the reason it's important to Brian (MtnViewRanch) is for TNT. It's a lot easier to hook up the top link if you can put that remote in the float position, otherwise you're running back and forth trying to get it adjusted perfectly.
