Thank you for the interesting comments. I think the point is probably valid, that there are expensive, well made items, and less expensive (probably Chinese) items and they have more similarities than differences. I think that the less expensive "knockoff" items mostly will work well, and are...

Hi, I've been researching small flail mowers for my 25hp CUT. There are some reputable brands I can order online, and I'd buy them based on reputation (Befco, Caroni, EA, etc.) but I'd prefer to purchase locally, and I'd rather spend less money as I'm not going to use it very aggressively. So...

My tractor has loaded tires. I don't think I can adjust them to be wider, but I can buy a kit to put them out a few more inches, and I may do that. I appreciate the vinca minor suggestion and I'll see if I can find some to plant. I don't know if it was this type of vinca, but vinca drugs were...

I will definitely keep an eye on HD for a sale. Thanks for that suggestion. I would love it if I could use a rear finish mower. I do have a 3 point hitch and PTO, but the layout of the land would make it really challenging to do. I'm not the most experienced tractor user, so I'll have a more...

I've done a lot of reading about riding mowers and the manuals all list an amount of slope that is considered safe, and none of them consider anything beyond 15 degrees to be safe. The robotic options are interesting, but I want to be able to do my entire yard with one machine. I'm going to...

Thank you all for the helpful ideas. Most of the really good options are just too expensive. I like Gem99's suggestion to seed with ground cover. I'm not very knowledgable about that kind of stuff. Do you have any suggestions for what I could seed it with that would be low maintenance? It's...

I hope this is the right section for this question. I have usually done my lawn with a self propelled walk behind mower. The last couple of years I hired someone who used a riding mower. This year I'd like to do my lawn myself again, but my knees are not up to doing it all with a walk behind...

I also have a CX2510 and agree with the power. I AM interested in those spacers though. I have to work a lot of slopes and ruts and it can get a little scary. Seems like they are easy to install and would add quite a bit of stability. I'm thinking of doing only the rear though. My tires are...

This is an old thread, but I just watched your three videos and I'm now depressed and jealous of your North Carolina earth. Here in New Hampshire I couldn't begin to work the earth like this. It's boulder after boulder, and ledge rock everywhere. Anyway, I enjoyed watching your videos. Very...

I want to add one piece of advice. I skimmed the 5 pages of replies and didn't see this mentioned, and I don't know how experienced you are, so I hope I don't come off sounding condescending. I moved some large rocks/boulders when I was new to using my tractor (Kioti CX2510). The one lesson I...

Thank you all very much. I spent a fair amount of time trying to figure out what the various adjustments did in terms of raising the blade. From what I could tell, the only adjustment that would actually raise the blade higher was to somehow shorten the lift arm. So I did try using the upper...

Hi all, I recently bought a back blade to use mostly for snow but also for dirt this summer. I've been disappointed to find that the blade keeps catching on things because I can't raise it high enough off the ground. I was thinking that maybe I could replace the left, non-adjustable lift arm on...

My 2020 Kioti CX2510 compact tractor started stalling last week and it became progressively worse over a few days until it would not run at all. The fuel sediment filter looked like it was packed with pink grease. I removed it and I from what I can find on the internet, this is what gelling...

Hi, I understand that I should let my tractor run for 5 minutes or so until the temperature gauge starts to move. I keep the tractor in my garage, so if I let it run for several minutes in the garage, the house really gets a lot of diesel exhaust fumes, which smell really bad, and probably are...

I've been trying to find out if my hydraulic lines are running too tight a curve. I can't find any guidance online that I can understand, but i sure don't want them to be at risk of rupture. I'm attaching pictures if that is helpful, but would appreciate it if anyone has advice on this. Thanks.

I am a new tractor owner and I recently posted because I had a disturbing incident where my rear wheel came off the ground when I was lifting a heavy rock using the grapple on my Kioti CX2510 with loaded tires, and no ballast. I learned from the discussion that it's important to have rear...

The front yard along my driveway is very uneven and makes it difficult and potentially dangerous when I'm trying to have a catch with my son. Plus it looks bad. I've been reading about tools that I could use to lower the high spots and raise the low spots. I don't care about tearing up the...

I've watched dozens of videos about being safe on a tractor, but none of them prepared me for the reality of using my first tractor. I have a Kioti CX2510 (25hp CUT) and I've been using a grapple to move some large rocks around. Some of these rocks are probably 3-4 feet long and 2-3 feet wide...

I have a 2020 CX2510 and have been cutting down some trees and I'm thinking that a log splitter would be great to have. I initially thought it would be a no-brainer that I could buy one to use on my tractor. I've been reading for the last few hours and am utterly confused. I don't split a lot...

Hi, After a lot of research, I bought a 2020 Kioti CX2510 which seems like the perfect fit for my small piece of land. I bought it with a loader and a Workspace root grapple. This is the first tractor I've ever owned, or ever even used. The grapple hits two of the hoses when I curl the...

I'm close to buying my first tractor and I really like the Kioti CK2510. The other tractor I'm considering is the Kubota B2601. There is a lot I like about the Kioti and it's also less expensive, but I'm wondering about the two range HST. I have never owned a tractor before, so I really don't...

Hi all, I'm very close to my first tractor purchase ever and it's become a choice between the Kubota B2601 and the Kioti CK2510. Both will be equipped with loader, backhoe, and grapple. I'm on 3 acres of hilly land, half of which is heavily wooded and unlikely ever to be fully cleared although...

I'm deciding between a Kubota B2601 and Kioti CK2510. One issue for me will be storage and I haven't seen numbers online for total length with backhoe. I'm assuming the Kioti is longer because of the second seat, but does anyone have the actual numbers? I'd swing by the dealers to look, but...

I've been reading and learning from this forum for a year and have decided that the Kioti CK2510 is the tractor that would best suit my needs. There is one dealer in the area, and he's pretty close. I went by today and got a quote as follows: CK2510 HST (I don't know what model year. Does...

Hi, First, thanks to everyone who contributes to this forum. The information has been invaluable as I've figured out which tractor is best suited for me, a process which has taken a couple of years and many visits to dealers. I'm planning to buy a Kioti CK2510 HST with quick attach front loader...

Hi, I live in NH on 3 acres of hilly, wooded land. With LOTS of rocks. I've been thinking that I'd like to move some rocks out of the way, maybe clear some trees, so I'm in the process of looking for a tractor. We have a Kioti dealer very close and Kubota and Deere within about 20 miles. LS...
