    Maintenance Questions

    I know this is a relatively easy manual lookup stuff but you guys are always way more helpful. KIOTI NS 4710 - about 11 hours 1. I need to get a grease gun and do the fittings I suppose? Do I typically need a special fitting or are they pretty much standard. Can you over grease? Does any grease...

    rear hydraulics going wonky

    so i am pretty sure I left the rear implement in the up position last time I parked the tractor for a week or so. when I got in today I found the lever for 3pt lift all the way forward (which I never do). so I thought that was strange. but I started it up. and immediately found the 3pt lift to...

    3pt question

    I built up the courage to do my first implement change ever this past weekend. Removed rotary cutter for box blade. I'm nearly positive I hooked it back up like it was but I'm slightly concerned. The pins for the stabilizer arms are in the last hole which kind of allows the arms to move a...

    Welp.. now I know what I'm doing next time I can get some seat time.

    Sizing attachments (FEL)

    I REALLY like this grapple. I think I need a root rake one like that. Not many rocks to deal with. and I'll definitely need to be cleaning up the ground. Would this be the best type for ripping out thick briars?

    Non Traditional Projects (What have you done with your tractor?)

    What are some projects you've attempted (and accomplished) with a tractor that may be considered abnormal? I'm talking about thinking outside the box (blade) to the max. I don't care if it was the absolute worst possible tool for the job. What are some innovative (or not) ways youve used a...

    What do I need to make this connection?

    I ended up taking it to a shop and they threw a couple together for me that worked flawlessly. bought from Amazon so who knows. but yes. it said NPT. Thanks all!

    3PT question

    That's a great tip too. I do find the tension a bit high and honestly didn't realize it was adjustable. Im sure it's in my head as just a function of knowing that it's smooth going down and jerky coming up, but it seems "harder" to get the lever moving upwards than downwards. Definitely worth a...

    is this an issue?

    Hope its not Rim Guard. That stuff smells like skunk. Nahh. it is water and antifreeze. and I haven't smelled anything in 3 years, since first COVID. Thanks CHINA!! :ROFLMAO:

    3PT question

    OK. so I was correct in my assessment of the knob. You don't find it indicative of anything if the dealer thought otherwise? It's also possible he just figured it was fine/normal and just gave me some busy work to appease my mind. Knowing full well it wouldn't have any affect. I don't know if...

    Tire puncture preparation

    I recently purchased a KIOTI NS4710. This tractor lives on my undeveloped (but, now, looking better!!!) property, across a narrow stream crossing. too narrow/not straight enough (I think) for a truck/trailer capable of pulling the tractor to cross. Anyhow. Is it generally a good or bad idea to...

    is this an issue?

    This appeared to have been the issue. I checked PSI after I finally found the rear tire stems were on the inside facing side, lol. pressure was good and I haven't seen any further evidence of leaking after several uses. THANK YOU!

    3PT question

    I know this is probably a question better suited for trial and error, or the owners manual. I have acces to neither of those things at the moment. so here goes. Kioti NS4710 - 7 hrs. 3pt is pretty jerky when lifting attachment (new/first tractor). it could be normal. I am not sure so I contact...

    Sizing attachments (FEL)

    Would there ever be a time where I would want to buy a grapple (or any attachment) that is smaller than my footprint? What kinds of situations (other than being able to lift more because of a smaller/lighter implement) would it be advantageous? Any? or is it in absolute that you should buy to...

    A few (probably) dumb questions.

    can you possibly explain this a bit more? I just heard about the shaft length issue the other day (and how it's likely you need to trim shafts)? I can probably assume this one is ok since it was installed by dealer? how can you typically get them sized right? how do you cut them?
