    First regen

    Agree with RjCorazza. When I mow, the rad always get plugged up. On my kioti, regens average about every 30 hours depending on the type of work I'm doing. (Now at 1000 hours) I record the hours at every regen. When one injector went bad was doing a regen every 2 hours. I always just...

    Opinions on NX4510

    I have an 2018 NX4510 HST cab. Bought new. Had some early problems that were sorted out on warranty. Now have 1000 hours and overall am very happy with the tractor. Not sure what the HST problems are, but mine seems to function fine. I like the size and weight of the frame. Loader is a...

    NX4510 CEL (check engine light) on and can't turn off

    Will do. Having a hard time paying the dealer to send someone out to just clear the CEL. Probably a couple hours with the travel time. Just hit 1000 hours and despite a few early problems, the last 600 hours have been without any issues. (had an early main seal leak, bad injector and turbo...

    NX4510 CEL (check engine light) on and can't turn off

    Thought of that. But it's been 25 hours since, and everything seems to be working normally. Guess I'll just need to have dealer send out a service guy.

    Had a coolant hose come loose which set ofF the CEL. Reattached hose, filled coolant and now still have the CEL. Anyone know how to turn it off without the dealer?

    Rear remotes for backhoe

    My NX4510 has 2 rear remotes. Neither has the float function. Can I run a backhoe from these remotes that don't have float function?

    3 point

    There is usually a valve just below the seat that is used for adjusting the rate of descent for the 3 point. If you close that valve all the way, the 3 point will not go down. Could that be from that valve??

    NX4510 vents oil from remote valves

    Ok, so could the valve not be working correctly? I have 2 rear remotes. The bottom one is hooked to the top link and never seems to leak. The top remote leaks no matter what I hook up to it. If I lower slowly, the leak is minimal. If I lower quickly, more fluid seems to come out. I will...

    1st time buyer - 35 hp comparisons

    If you are able, driving each tractor on the lot would be worth your time. Each tractor will feel different and some issue you never thought of may show up. For me, I owned a 30hp Kubota for 15 years when I upgraded. I don't like the single treadle peddle on the Kubota. I very much like the...

    Upgrade from CK2610 to DK5310?

    I went from a 30hp open station B7800 to a 45hp cabbed NX4510. I do work in the bush and the size difference does make maneuvering in the trees more difficult. If I am only using the mower in the trees, I either take the bucket off or the entire front end loader. That helps a lot. I also...

    brand new Kioti tractor with issues

    My NX will start to blow warm air in cab before the temp gauge moves. My little diesel takes some time for the gauge to reach operation temp. My tractor had 9 hours on delivery. Next time you take it out, compare hour meter to a watch.

    New Design Tie Rod Guards For The NX Series Tractors

    Hey Jim. I usually have my 7' tiller on the back. I think it's around 900 lbs. And yes, I usually only try to turn when in motion. I do use the loader a lot, so the front end steering often under strain. My son built a pretty big motocross track. Moved a lot of dirt. If that is all that...

    New Design Tie Rod Guards For The NX Series Tractors

    I was quite surprised that despite my tie rod boots being in good shape, there was a lot of play in the tie rod under the boot. At least 3/8"! Waiting for the new tie rods. They must be under a lot of stress with heavy loader work. Hope the new ones last longer than 900 hours.

    Kioti Parts Diagrams?

    My dealer had copies of the service manuals for my NX4510. Best $125 bucks spent. I reference the manual all the time. Bought it because I hope to have my machine for many years. I am old school. I like paper.

    Questions about Kioti tractors

    Joe, I am like you. I hate all the excess grease at all the joints. I occasionally take out the pins on the loader to clean the joint out. I did have a few loose fasteners on my Kioti when it was new. The loader level rod came loose and bent. Just take some time to go over the machine in...

    New NS4710C HST

    One other thing to consider. I'm not sure if your cab is the same as the NX, but there are 2 hollow columns on the front corners of the cab. I just took the top off mine today to install new led lights and new speakers. Found a mouse nest!! Buggers chewed up some wires, but not hard to fix...

    New NS4710C HST

    very nice. Check as many fasteners as you can. People warned about leveling rod coming loose. I didn't check and it folded up like a cheap tent. Yes, the cab is very roomy!! You will definitely enjoy being out of the elements! Have fun.:)

    CK4010, w/ 6' Bush Hog??

    I would definitely get the 6'. I run a 7' farm king rough cut on my NX4510 with 34 pto hp without any issues. Like others have said, you can always just cut 5' at a time if thick, or go slower. I really like the extra width when I am mowing larger areas.
  28. Kioti Dave

    hp needed

    I run a 7' rough cut with my 45 hp Kioti. Can cut pretty thick grass - 4' tall without much problem. The hydrostat is nice as I can adjust the speed on the fly. 90hp should easily run a 10'.

    Quick hitch for a 40hp tractor

    Have a 45hp Kioti. Did the Pat's quick hitch thing. They work ok. Quick hitch is the way to go in my opinion. Haven't had any problems. Did buy some CAT2 implements that I had to modify slightly. Quick hitch with a hydraulic top link. You will never look back.

    I have a 2016 Kioti NX4510 with 2 remote valves. Bottom one is hooked up to hydraulic top link. Top one is used for a rear blade or recently an old home made dump trailer. There is a vent hose on the valve body that spews out hydraulic oil when I lower the dump trailer. This does not happen...

    Kioti Field Cab

    Kioti NX 4510

    Yes, I had a turbo oil leak and a bad injector. When that happened, I was getting a regen every 2 hours or so. New injector, new turbo and all has been good.

    Kioti NX 4510

    On my 2016 NX4510, regen never starts until the tractor is at operating temps. Auto regen is the normal mode of operation(lets you continue to use the tractor). I have had to do a manual regen 3 times which requires the tractor parked and left alone for it to do it's thing. Not sure why it...

    Nx6010 needs to regen daily

    Like Jim said, pull off turbo tube to see if there is oil in there. My NX was generally regening every 30 hours give or take. It erroded to 1 to 2 hours between regens. Long story short, 1 bad injector and a blown turbo seal. Back to 25 to 30 hour regens. Regens last about 20 minutes.
  55. Kioti Dave

    NX4510 CEL and limp mode

    Yes, they replaced one injector and put in a new turbo. Since then averaging 30 hours between regens. Would like to see the interval between regens a little higher, but they don't really bother me at all.

    How far and high can I throw snow?

    Had a B7800 with front mount blower. Would throw relatively dry snow maybe 30 feet out and 15 feet high. Much more effective than pushing or moving with bucket. Wet snow, maybe 20 feet out and 10 feet high. Don't have blower on NX4510 and really miss it.
