    How old is your Kioti tractor?

    Well, mine has 1.6 hours on it. New CK3520 can with backhoe. Sold my CX2510 because I really wanted the backhoe and felt that the CX was under powered.

    From a Kubota B2601 to Kioti CX2510. Am I nuts?

    The CK has a 3-speed hydro, but the CX only has a 2-speed. My Kubota B2601 had a 3-speed, and I operated in Medium most of the time. I operate the CX2510 in low range most of the time. It really is fast enough for most tasks. I occasionally shift to high to transverse the yard, but that is...

    From a Kubota B2601 to Kioti CX2510. Am I nuts?

    The two-speed HST is a little disappointing, but I knew that going into my purchase. The high range is really only useful for traveling from A to B, and even at that, the terrain must be nearly level. For example, the road past my driveway has a hill on it, and even at full throttle, the tractor...

    New Kubota Corrosion

    A very bad idea. Have you ever seen a classic car that a person threw a tarp over it to "preserve" it, only to find the interior filled with mold? If one wants to prevent condensation from forming, one needs air movement. A ceiling fan set on low does wonders and costs pennies to run.

    An EV??????`

    A part of the "myth" that EVs eat tires may be due to the Tesla X. That particular car uses different sizes of tires for the front and rear, so it is impossible to rotate as would "normally" be done. My buddy has a Tesla X and is lucky to get 25k out of his tires. So, in that case an EV does...

    An EV??????`

    Why would you post that with a question about it being an EV? Are you daft? It is an older Mazda sitting at a gas pump. Apparently, you hate EVs and will do anything to discredit them. Unreal.

    From a Kubota B2601 to Kioti CX2510. Am I nuts?

    I got rid of that vibrating and shaking Kubota. Could not be happier with my Kioti, although I have minimal hours on it so far.

    Those with CX2510's?

    I have never bought into the resale value reasoning. I buy a piece of equipment to fit my needs and wants. I purchased a CX2510 with a cab about two months ago. I love it so far, but I have very few hours on due to lack of snow up here. When I purchased mine, the sales guy pushed me hard to...

    Tractor decision

    Funny. I have a set of forks and use them a lot to move logs, steel, pallets of crap, etc. When we moved to our new house, the wife palletized everything, and I loaded the pallets into the semi with my tractor. When the new house was done and ready to move into, we brought the semi back, and I...

    Tractor decision

    I will say it again. He clearly stated he wanted a cab. I am hardly being a butt about anything. I am sure that Barry has probably seen tractors without cabs. What I don't get is someone coming into a thread and saying there is no way you could pay him to have a cab. Ok. What does that...

    Tractor decision

    He clearly stated he wanted a cab. Who cares you worked in a factory your whole life. Let me say it again, he wants a cab. Why don't you get it?

    Tractor decision

    Maybe he has worked outside his whole life and you couldn't pay him to sweat, freeze or be rained on. Sheesh.

    Tractor decision

    Maybe he will actually be careful. Maybe owns a semi. Maybe his woods are all tall oaks. Maybe he will clear pathways with a chainsaw first. Maybe he... He rightfully wants a cab.

    I had R4's but now have R14's. I like the R14's.
