Kioti CX2510


Used the CX2510 to clear a widow maker in the back yard. In the vid you can hear it bog down, soon as the 200 hour service is done, I'm going to turn it up to 35HP.

Be sure to post up the results of the fuel adjustment; that's for sure something I'm interested in come warranty expiration time. These simple engines yearn for more fuel from the factory.

I would think a 3 range transaxle would help you too; maybe one day.

Nice little stick of firewood! Git-er-done. (y)

Yeah a 3 range would be ideal. The Kioti is the heaviest tractor in this frame size. Great for loader work but it is harder to get it moving. 2,308lb tractor, 605lb loader, 30lb tooth bar, 342lbs of rim guard tire ballast (when both rears are full), and a 175lb scrape blade comes in at 3,460lbs or so.

I chose the Kioti since it was the heaviest compact and had by far the largest hydraulic pump at 11.3 GPM. If it had a 3 speed trans like the CK2610 it would be a beast. High gear is about useless unless it's on flat ground. Hopefully when I tune the engine back to 35hp it will solve that problem.

Also for anyone interested.
Even Daedong's website shows the 3A165 as a 34HP, doesn't even show it as a 25hp in the chart. This engine is built and designed as a 34hp. It just happens to be able to be de-tuned to 25hp. I'm just some guy from the internet but from my research the 25hp has 2 shims reducing the timing 2* and has less fuel. From a design aspect, it was supposed to be 34hp.
