Just ordered my Kioti CK3510

[jazzy61]

I looked at JD and Kubota tractors also. I liked them all but the Kioti seemed more intuitive to me (first tractor). I also liked the price for the Kyoto. I ordered the:
Box Scraper
Quick Hitch
FEL
Pallet Forks
Backhoe with 26 inch bucket and thumb
Third function hydraulics

Over all the price was 33,587 plus tax

I also ordered the Woods 60BBX Rotary Cutter

I should get it dropped off next week.

Congrats...you will have so much fun !! I have a Woods 48BBX rotary cutter...great machine !

 

[jazzy61]

Thanks. I have read and learned so much on this forum. I can't thank everyone enough for all they have shared. This forum helps us all make better decisions.
I just rented a skid steer and their version of a brush hog and I am trying to reclaim 16 acres in my back yard. I have grand children and I want to give them an area to play in, go karts, golf range, baseball or some other activity. Maybe even grade an area for an ice rink. We will see how things work out. I am very excited. I am on youtube every night trying to learn how everyone uses their implements/attachments.

Nice! Congrats- great package

 

[jazzy61]

Thanks Shucksters. I am pretty geeked. I just read your other post. You have a great looking tractor.

I think you are going to be very happy with your purchase. I have a 2010 CK35HST - great little tractor, couldn't be happier!

I ordered the:
Box Scraper
Quick Hitch
FEL
Pallet Forks

Congrats on your order!

Just a heads up - I took delivery of a CK2610 last month, with a quick hitch, box blade and rear blade . All attachments came from the same "manufacturer/importer". The quick hitch is manufactured to the Cat 1 specs, so it's not to blame, but neither the box blade nor the rear blade will interface with the quick hitch without modification.

On the box blade, the lower link attachment points are approximately 1 inch too wide, and the top link attachment point is not in plane with the lower mounts. To correct the box blade would require the removal/correction/re-installation of the mounting brace/brackets. Which would destroy the paint/powder coating on the implement.

On the rear blade, there is an issue with getting the top attachment point of the quick hitch to work with the blade structure as supplied.

Fortunately, the solution is obvious - the quick hitch is going back to the dealer, and a Pat's Easy Change is on it's way here.

If I had to do it again, I would get the dealer to prove that the attachments work with the QH, in their yard.

Thanks for the heads up, I値l call Monday to make sure everything will fit. I did just check out Pats Easy Change and agree it looks like your answer. My tractor can稚 get here soon enough. Thanks for your advice.

Amen brother...I'm waiting for mine too. I spent 3 hours going over it with a fine tooth comb last Friday.... I can't pick it up until they install all my extras. Killing me!! (In a good way ;-)

I've had my CK3510hst for 9 months, will hit 200 hours on it this week.

Had some attachments from my previoius tractor..4' landpride box blade, county line post hole auger (good for more than just post holes BTW), titan quick hitch (similar to pat's), a 3 pt reciever 'hitch' and receiver type carry all from harbor freight. Don't use that as much since this tgractor has a loader and the last one didn't.

got forks (titan) and use them nearly as much as the bucket.

Added a back blade (used mahindra), 6' brush hog (bush hog brand, sold the 4' king kutter).

Picked up a 60" heavy duty landpride finish mower..probably want a bigger one (72") but got a good price and it's rare to see 72" ones around here for sale (of course I saw one a week later...). Did a 'test' mow' on this and WOW, much better than my old kubota and belly mower.
And 5' set of j-bar disks.

Added a tool box (ammo can mounted behind the gas tank) to hold tools/clips and pins, a rag, etc)

Added ROPS lights (wired off the rear tail lights so no switch needed)

Middle buster is on the list for this year, maybe the larger finish mower. I'd not pass up a tiller at a good price...so far disk then till with a walk behind reverse rotation rear tine that cost $150...

Enjoy your machine!!

Congrats on your purchase, welcome to the forum and "The Pack".

 

[jazzy61]

Thank you everyone for the welcome. I appreciate it. Prof fate, you have a lot of attachments. You must have a lot of fun with them. I can't wait for mine. I was just told that my backhoe is due in today or tomorrow and then they will need a day to get it ready. (I thought it was already in stock :{
I need to get it before I can order the Piranah Tooth bar. I need to measure the inside of the fel. I also, have a wicked root rake grapple on order and I need to check the hydraulic couplers to make sure they get the correct ones on the wicked root rake grapple. It will probably come on Thursday, the day I leave for out of town for the weekend..

Shucksters the wait is the worse. I feel your pain. I won't see mine until it is delivered. I'm a little over 30 minutes away, so I hope to see it in a few days.

Soooooo, I received my tractor this morning (not sure how to download pictures to the forum) and I went out to my field and immediatly got stuck!!! My property was very wet and very soft (clayish) and now I need to get it unstuck. It is supposed to rain pretty much all week. So, I can't even get unstuck without immediatly getting stuck again. I am totally open for suggestions. I have the back hoe on and the forks.

 

[JimHbar]

..........:ashamed:

First - do you have it in 4wd?
Second - Sounds like you are about to learn how to use the backhoe!

Whatever you do, be SAFE about it!

So...nothing like your first pickle LOL. Advice- whatever you do, don't get frustrated or panic and cut corners and mess something up. Might do better without the backhoe weight right now once you get it out...on another note...still waiting on my tractor (had to order 3rd SCV valve) so hopefully Friday...
