From time to time, my tractor has been having issues of reaching rated PTO RPM, which I’ll post about separately. While looking into this, I found errors in the Kioti CK2610/3510/4010 owner’s manual. My owner’s manual is dated JUL 2018, so perhaps this has been corrected in later versions. My...

Anybody own one of these tractors on the forum? Thanks, Toukow

...... a separate envelope containing large, folded, complete wiring schematics similar to photo? Thanks, Toukow

My fuel filter on a 2019 CK2610 does not match the owner's manual (OM) or the factory service manual (FSM) photos. Both of these show an electrical sensor with associated wires being attached to the bottom of the filter for water detection. I can find no electrical connections on the fuel filter...

I notice that the CK2610HST Kioti manual calls out replacement of the air filter yearly (definitely over-kill for me, given WA), but nothing about the hydraulic and HST filters based on years. It calls for the replacement of these filters at 50 and 200 service hours. I will take a number of...

I was a complete maroon and failed to check my loader bolts in a timely manner on the new tractor. I worked it pretty hard and finally checked them, and some were loose. I felt I dodged a large bullet in that the threaded holes were not damaged, and I was able to torque them properly. I hate...

Per the title, I am hoping you guys can educate me on a few things as far as hydraulics on my new CK2610 HST tractor (30 hours). I wanted to make sure the backhoe was operating a full pressure, hence the gauge installation. I have several questions: 1. I am glad I read in the thread 'Three...

I'm going to do the one year oil change on my relatively new CK2610HST with 22 hours. The owner's manual states on page 7-15, step 9 to 'Run the start motor for approx. 10 seconds to distribute oil to each part of the engine'. In Kioti's great documentation style, I infer they meant 'Run the...

Perhaps a trivial question, but I'll ask just the same. In the past I had read that generally screw type dipsticks are not screwed in when measuring unless specified differently by the manufacturer. As usual I may be missing it, but when I look through the manual I only see the section on how to...

Not sure the approach here is really unorthodox, because I don't really know what the orthodox approach is for this situation. One of the reasons I went with Kioti is Kubota told me I had to sell my 3- point mounted backhoe, and buy theirs for $7k or so. I probably have little use for a backhoe...

I'm hoping you guys can straighten me out. Can you tell me how I'm misapplying the documents at the links? I have attached excerpts from the Miller data (all white documents) at the links, as well as additional Victor tip data (documents with green) . My goal is simply to have the maximum range...

Well, here's my shot at it. I thought I should get it done before I had too many hours on the new tractor (currently 7 hours) . Learned the hard way about making sure the 'L' pins are oriented correctly before installing the roll pin. That Chevy engine orange paint by Rustoleum as recommended by...

I'm adding LED's on the ROPS and was trying to figure out where to tap a switched leg for the light relay. Anyway, I only have 7 hours on the beast, and do not have a factory service manual yet. I found some schematics on the forum showing the electrical for the CK35 which I inferred would be...

I'm going to install a mesh grill guard while the tractor is still new, per advice/reminders on the forum. There are some nice designs shown on the forum, many maintaining the ability to fold down the grill guard. I'm not seeing any true advantage of folding, and am thinking of just replacing...

Since I'm on a roll asking the most basic questions of operational controls on my new tractor, I figured why stop now? I must be using the wrong terms when searching forum, because I do not see this mentioned. As I understand it, the lever in the photo disengages the joystick and stops the FEL...

I'm new to both Kioti's and HST transmissions with a massive 1.5 hours experience, and see no reference in the manual to this component (at least not in the clutch pedal section). Given the fantastic, detailed nature of Kioti documentation (just for fun, check the owner's manual index for such...

Well, I have read somewhere on the forum that if there are no pictures, it never happened, so here is my new tractor. I had bored you previously with a price and option comparison between the CK2610HST and the L2501HST, so this was the end result. Seen one, seen them all to a degree, so I...

Hello All: Can you please educate me on the uses of a tow bar of this size? How are you using it? I'm getting ready to order from Ken's Bolt-on, so thought I'd ask in case I should add something based on your comments. I can only see a 1 1/4" shank tow ball or a very large shackle (my 3/4"...

This post will probably come across as vague and foolish, but I hope you will bear with me. I have a history of buying stuff, not dealing with it immediately, and when the time comes it won't work or is defective and already out of warranty. Granted, sounds like a personal problem, which it is...

Hello Everyone: I've seldom searched for something where I've found so little information about it. I can find a company based in the UK that sells buckets for heavy machinery, and see some postings for this brand for sale (different models, most links don't work anyway). Anyone know anything...

I went and saw my new tractor yesterday, now waiting for the options to be installed. Being new to specifying tractor tires and the associated impacts, I was surprised at how much higher the first step was now that I'd asked for R1's. So I started reconsidering my decision, and the dealer said...

I will most likely pull the trigger this week on one of these two. Searching pricing on the forum makes me envious of other areas of the country. I do not think the Pacific Northwest has great deals on tractors, or I just suck on negotiating deals, which is a real possibility. It's also...

Hello: I'm getting ready to buy a new tractor in the next week or so, and visited two Kubota dealers yesterday, asking option pricing on the L2501HST. I've only owned one tractor in my life, and that's a 1979 Ford 1700, so my hydraulics knowledge is based on that model and that era. It uses a...

Forgive the stupid question, but I'm looking at buying a new CK2610HST in the next week and I've never purchased a new tractor before. Someone here noted to make sure to check any ongoing incentive programs from Kioti, saying dealers do not always tell you about them. So I checked, and found...

Thought I would toss this out in hopes one of you can see what I am overlooking. I installed a 10 micron hydraulic filter on my tractor and it proceeded to blow the filters within doing 6 lifts with the front end loader. The schematic attached for the Prince SV valve is exactly the system that I...

I had recently looked at a new Kubota and liked the additional step offered on newer tractors. My knees aren't what they used to be, so I added the step below to my 1700. I put it at 13" vs 20"of the height of the main foot deck. Obviously it changes the ground clearance, but not an issue for my...

I was going to replace the springs on the shift levers, so was looking at the parts diagram below from Messicks. I noticed the part #47 shown as a seal. I've had hydraulic fluid issues with this tractor so figured what the heck, I'd do those at the same time. So I was surprised that when I took...

I worked on this about five years ago, have a leak, and can't remember the details unfortunately. I have a basic question for anyone familiar with the adjusting components. ITT shop manual says that the box should be filled with 134 transmission fluid, and filled up to the opening plug. Fine. My...

I posted in the New Holland section on looking to sell my Ford 1700 and buy a L2501 Kubota. Given I'm in WA, I figured I'd explore taking advantage of exchange rate and contacted a dealer in Vancouver, BC. I was surprised when he said hew would not sell me a new tractor, only a used one. I asked...

I thought of selling my Ford 1700 for no other reason than accessibility. With size 14 boots and a gut to match, it is not the easiest thing to get in and out of. It has plenty of horsepower for what I need and I've got a few 5 FT wide implements which she handles without issue. I've got her in...

I'm a novice. I was trying to hook up a three point backhoe to which I've extended the lines 10 feet to help get it into position. I'm standing there and hear the sound of the tractor change. I look around and find one of the extension hoses has fallen off. Things seem jerky on the backhoe so...

So I decide to repair my leaking front end loader tilt bucket cylinder on a Ford 770 FEL. There is a photo of the seal I'm discussing at the forum link below: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/hydraulics/322312-ford-770-loader-cylinder-rebuild-2.html#post3906279 My mistake is ordering a kit...

I'm about to embark on rebuilding the tilt cylinder on a Ford 770 loader that is on my Ford 1700 tractor. At the link below the gentleman encountered issues, which hopefully I will be able to avoid. I'm lucky in that the original poster scanned the page which I assume will be similar for the...
