Was out brush mowing for a few hours today, without any issues. Rough terrain, but mostly just pasture grass and weeds, goldenrod, etc... When I called it a day, I raised up the mower to drive home on the road, and immediately smelled hot hydraulic fluid. Got off the tractor, but didn't...

ck3510se, did my 400hr service this spring, Just did another engine oil and filter change last week, kioti filter, rotella oil. It did a regen a couple days ago, at 513hrs, and ever since, the exhaust is smelling somewhat like an older diesel. Not exactly, but definitely a noticeable odor that...

My tractor came with an Interstate battery when I bought it in 2018. The battery did not survive the cold this winter, and won't hold much of a charge anymore. Need a new one, just curious to hear what others are using, I'm in upstate NY, where winters are below freezing for long stretches at...

I've had the tractor a couple years now. When I first got it, I did a lot of backhoe work, at lower rpm's, and I got my first regen at only 18hrs. Ever since, I always run the tractor at higher rpms, no matter what I'm doing. I'll let it idle for a minute or two, to warm up when I start it...

Finished doing some mowing yesterday, and found a screw partially embedded in a front tire. It was about 3 threads deep into the rubber. I took it out, and there doesn't seem to be any air leaking, but since the screw was in the thinnest part of the tire, I'm a little worried about that being...

I've got 120acres of former farmland. On one end of the property I've got 2 former hay fields that are approx 300ft wide, and a quarter mile long. There was a hedgerow dividing these 2 fields, consisting of a single row of trees (mostly maple and ash), however, over the past 30 years of...

My first 2 oil changes were done using a Cub Cadet branded diesel oil (dealer is also a Cub Cadet dealer, and he said it exceeded Kioti's requirements). Most recent oil change I had to switch, because he was out of stock, and said it was going to be a while before he got more. He recommended...

I'm looking at a Danuser 18p chipper for sale. It's been stored inside forever, and is in surprisingly good condition for it's age. It definitely needs new knives on it, but otherwise it seemed to run just fine. I've tried searching online for a manual, or any other info, and haven't been...

Coming up on 1yr with the tractor, and just about to hit 150hrs. My dealer isn't open on Sundays, and I'm just sitting here this afternoon trying to budget some upcoming expenses, and trying to figure out what the service is gonna cost me. I'm guessing somewhere around 300 bucks for filters...

Recently picked up an old homemade 3pt wood splitter for cheap. Only thing it needed was new pioneer connectors on the hoses, as the old ones were leaking. In the process of changing these, I lost probably about a quart of fluid. There's no bleeder on the cylinder on the splitter.... do I...

I'd like to add a step to the right side of my 3510. It's got the mounting holes already there for a step (same as the left side), but the Kioti step won't work, because of the loader hoses and bracket that are underneath the right hand side. Has anyone fabricated their own step, and have any...

Got an old roached out firewood wagon from a neighbor a few days ago. It's 4'x8', so pretty decent size. It was in rough shape though. All of the lumber was rotten, and most of the steel needed a lot of cleaning up (and a couple small patches). 3 days of work later, I'm pretty happy with the...

Obviously I forgot to put the most important block under the back end....now I gotta deal with this nonsense. Front end is 2 feet off the ground. Not sure yet how exactly I'm going to drop the front end enough to get it under the tractor. Any tips to prevent this from happening? Other than...

Not my picture, just grabbed it off google to show the problem bolts. They're the short bolts that hold the little teardrop shaped plates on. I noticed it because one of them came completely out, and the teardrop plate had spun 180 degrees, and grease was everywhere. I checked them all, and...

It was 15F all day here yesterday, and -9F overnight. When I bought the tractor this summer, the dealer (and other brands dealers I was looking at) said that the heaters weren't necessary here. But when I went to get the tractor out this morning, I checked the fuel tank, and it's definitely...

Will be using the bucket for snow removal this year. My driveway is about 350ft, but it's in pretty rough shape. A mix of 3 different sizes of gravel, and the peak in the center is too high in some places. Didn't want to spend all winter fighting with the cutting edge on the bucket digging...

I searched, and found a thread with some info, that my ck3510 axle pivot grease fitting is a 1/8-28 bspt fitting. I went to Napa this afternoon, and took the broken one with me, they sold me a 1/8 that I'm pretty sure is NPT (the packaging is not clear). It does not fit, I can get about 1...

One week old ck3510se, 18.5 hours on it (mostly backhoe work at fairly low rpm's so far). The manual isn't crystal clear when it comes to the 2 different types of regen, and I've got a couple questions. I believe I got the passive regen light on this afternoon. I kept rpm's up while the light...

Currently planning out the lumber order for the garage i'm building, and I need to make my final decision on the door height. I know literature specs say 99.3 inches, but that's with rops up, and I believe ag tires. I'm trying to find the measurement with rops down and R4's. Bonus if anyone...

First post on here, but I've been reading a ton on the forums, reading reviews, etc. I'm shopping for a new compact to handle a variety of tasks on the property I recently purchased. It's 37.5 acres of upstate NY hillside. Most of it is wooded, and I do plan on harvesting firewood. My...
