I think it was an Orchard Hill Farm equipment put out a video saying the NS has the same solid front axle build as the old DK.
I had been debating between the NS and NX. My dealership said they would not ever get an NX sent to them unless a customer specifically ordered it. They conveyed...
In Jan/February, with the help of the TractorByNet group, I looked into tractors and ended up pulling the plug on the NS4710 with a cab. Since delivery, it's pretty much only been used for snow removal. That changed this week.
Finally got to test out the tree puller. It's a CID quick attach. I...
Sorry to start two threads back to back but very different topics.
Was watching (if youtube links aren't allowed the video title is "First Ever Air Conditioned Subcompact Tractor! Kioti CS2530 In Depth Review!" by Tractor Time With Tim). Just after the 5:30 mark he mentions they're offering a...
In the NS owners manual the dashboard key shows "Auto Balance Lamp." I've looked on my dash and the opening for that light isn't there so believe they must have stopped offering it. Out of curiosity, looked for the kit and found it for anywhere from $300 to $900. The indicator seems to show a...
I hadn't thought to crack the window. Thanks for the suggestion. I had been running the AC with the heater. Living with Maine winters, that's second nature to me.
I'm happy to report that the fogging really hasn't been as bad as the first couple of times I used it. Thinking back, when I first...
Oh. You may want to ask your dealer what the actual PTO is. Per the Kioti online brochure it's 36.3. However in the owners manual it says 33.6. I reached out to Kioti's online contact and they refuse to answer. They say it's a "tech" question and that's for the dealer. BS. Anyhow, I haven't yet...
I didn't get a quote on the 47DK but did on the 53. It was 3k more than the NS47. Add in the standard features that are options on the DK and there's another 1k in extra costs.
I'm liking my NS4710C with the hydrostatic transmission. Had it less than a month. The only things I've noticed that...
Well happily thinking it must have been I wasn't starting it with the rpms at min. Overnight it got down to -8 and this afternoon when going to take care of the snow it was still only 15ish. Did the normal start it and let it sit routine. Went back and was able to build slowly to the appropriate...
I'm hoping this is what it is. I'm fairly certain that I've been completely dropping the revs and letting it sit for 5 minutes but it's possible I've left them slightly above min. Would much rather it be something dumb I've done that's easily solved than a manufacturer defect.
I'll know for...
I was thinking this but there's nothing in the manual about this. It's weird it'd be silent about it. It's been fairly normal for winter temps. Having the RPMs limited until the engine warms up would make sense. Both times it was after about the same duration when the engine woke up. Figured I'd...
I got a Kioti NS4710 HST last week and don't think it initially was like this, but am not certain. It's been somewhat cold (0-10 degrees) overnight. I have an engine block heater and the optional fuel warmer. I've been starting it and letting it run for 10ish minutes, then raising and lowering...
Arrived today. The tractor/loader/backhoe got dropped off around 1:30 and the attachments around 4:30. Was working from home today so got a bit of time to play with it before it got dark. Not really a lot of stuff to do at the moment. Not enough snow to dig in and no soil I want to dig until...
My understanding, and when test driving there wasn't a 3rd function installed, is you're not able to do all three movements simultaneously. The sales person said that and that matches what I've found online through this forum.
I'm biased as tomorrow getting a Kioti delivered, but...
The dealer I bought from exclusively sells Kioti tractors. There was another dealership nearby that sold both Kioti and Mahindra. I stopped at another place that sold Massey and Yanmar. Another place I stopped at sold McCormicks but the...
