New owner Kioti CK 2610 HST

[801555]

hi,

I just took delivery of a new Kioti CK 2610 HST and noted a knocking/rattling noise in the rear end. (see attached video). When I push down on the clutch pedal the noise completely disappears, is this rattling noise normal?

No way that is right. Shut it down and call your dealer.

Is the PTO engaged?

hi, I called them right away and they picked it up next day, they are checking it over but are telling me the sound is normal

That doesn't seem right. But why does an HST have a clutch? My TYM is HST and I have go pedals and brakes... Why does Kioti have a clutch?

hi, it is required to start the tractor and change into H/M/L

Where do they put the clutch, when you have HST pedals and brakes?

Ok, I see now. That is weird… I’ve never seen a clutch on an HST. I have a 4-range hydro, but no clutch
