    Fender-top Tool Boxes - Kioti CK3510

    Within days of buying my Kioti CK3510H I was looking for a way to carry a few hand tools and basic supplies. Several searches gave me a lot of ideas but nothing that satisfied my basic requirements of : simple, cheap, unobtrusive. So I ended up with a medium size Plano "ammo box" on each rear...

    CK Series Remote Kit CKA111 Installation Tips

    Yes, it is about kit CKA111 to add two rear remotes to a CKxx10 series tractor. My understanding is that the Kioti backhoes for CKs use a separate hydraulic feed that is separate from the rear remotes and is not valve controlled. I don't have a backhoe so I don't have first hand experience to...

    Thoughts on moving snow with a 35hp CUT

    I thought I'd close the loop on this thread with thanks to all who provided input and suggestions. I ended up buying a WoodMaxx SB-72 snowblower that will surely simplify my snow management issues. There are a lot of positive reviews of this unit around TBN and I will just add that those...

    CK Series Remote Kit CKA111 Installation Tips

    I just finished installing the CKA111 dual rear remote kit on my 2020 Kioti CK3510H and want to put down a few notes to help the next guy who tackles this kit. It isn't a difficult installation but it is tricky in spots and is made much more challenging by the poor instructions that come with...

    Thoughts on moving snow with a 35hp CUT

    I used to think so too but I did some research when I moved here and found that the answer isn't quite as simple as the formula (3% per 1,000' alt) that works for gasoline engines. Even non-turbo diesel engines have a much lower power loss than gasoline engines up to some much higher altitude...

    Tractor securing.

    Before you cut them in half, consider using one end on one corner and the other end on the opposing corner. Run the unused and slack center section of chain under the tractor where it can lay while the corners are tied down. Use your chain binder of choice at each corner. THIS video gives a...

    Thoughts on moving snow with a 35hp CUT

    Good thought. I think a moderately clever person could put some modest wings on to increase the width to 66".

    Thoughts on moving snow with a 35hp CUT

    That's a beautiful picture. Yes, there is still a lot of snow in the ground and some roads in my area are still pretty narrow. We might get 5" more snow out of a front moving through tonight but it all helps for drought relief. We had to evacuate twice last summer/fall due to nearby wildfires so...

    Thoughts on moving snow with a 35hp CUT

    Since my original post I have spent some time digging out drifted driveways for two neighbors. One of the neighbors has an F350 with chained AT tires and a Meyers 7' plow. He got about 20' in the wet drifted snow and pushed up such a pile of snow that he could not move any further. One i dug out...

    Thoughts on moving snow with a 35hp CUT

    I have an old and very heavy rear blade that I use for grading the drive but haven't been tempted to try it on snow. None of the areas I clear are paved or flat so it would take a steady hand on the tiller to get the snow without scraping up the drive surface. It is heavy but not as heavy or as...

    Thoughts on moving snow with a 35hp CUT

    I live at 7,600' elevation in north-central Colorado on the eastern side of the continental divide. My tractor is a Kioti CK3510H with KL4030 FEL and R4 tires with chains, and a 900# ballast block out back. This is the time of year when we get our biggest snows and it is always wet, heavy, and...

    Mirrors

    I found a really cheap pair of 5"x7" golf cart mirrors on eBay that turned out be not totally crappy. For $15/pair, you won't have to cry too long if you knock one off and drive over it. HERE is the eBay link. I attached the mirrors to the FEL frame on my Kioti CK3510H using H-F tool holder...

    Let's see some homemade 3 point ballast!

    I made a 3-point ballast block for my Kioti CK3510H using the frame from an ancient 3-point scoop. I boxed that up, added some rebar, a loop of chain on top, and a hitch receiver, and then mixed up (14) 60# bags of concrete. The finished weight is somewhere between 900# and 1,000#. The block is...
