    Maintenance Questions

    I know this is a relatively easy manual lookup stuff but you guys are always way more helpful. KIOTI NS 4710 - about 11 hours 1. I need to get a grease gun and do the fittings I suppose? Do I typically need a special fitting or are they pretty much standard. Can you over grease? Does any grease...

    rear hydraulics going wonky

    so i am pretty sure I left the rear implement in the up position last time I parked the tractor for a week or so. when I got in today I found the lever for 3pt lift all the way forward (which I never do). so I thought that was strange. but I started it up. and immediately found the 3pt lift to...

    3pt question

    I built up the courage to do my first implement change ever this past weekend. Removed rotary cutter for box blade. I'm nearly positive I hooked it back up like it was but I'm slightly concerned. The pins for the stabilizer arms are in the last hole which kind of allows the arms to move a...

    Non Traditional Projects (What have you done with your tractor?)

    Welp.. now I know what I'm doing next time I can get some seat time.

    Sizing attachments (FEL)

    I REALLY like this grapple. I think I need a root rake one like that. Not many rocks to deal with. and I'll definitely need to be cleaning up the ground. Would this be the best type for ripping out thick briars?

    Non Traditional Projects (What have you done with your tractor?)

    What are some projects you've attempted (and accomplished) with a tractor that may be considered abnormal? I'm talking about thinking outside the box (blade) to the max. I don't care if it was the absolute worst possible tool for the job. What are some innovative (or not) ways youve used a...

    What do I need to make this connection?

    I ended up taking it to a shop and they threw a couple together for me that worked flawlessly. bought from Amazon so who knows. but yes. it said NPT. Thanks all!

    3PT question

    That's a great tip too. I do find the tension a bit high and honestly didn't realize it was adjustable. Im sure it's in my head as just a function of knowing that it's smooth going down and jerky coming up, but it seems "harder" to get the lever moving upwards than downwards. Definitely worth a...

    is this an issue?

    Hope its not Rim Guard. That stuff smells like skunk. Nahh. it is water and antifreeze. and I haven't smelled anything in 3 years, since first COVID. Thanks CHINA!! :ROFLMAO:

    3PT question

    OK. so I was correct in my assessment of the knob. You don't find it indicative of anything if the dealer thought otherwise? It's also possible he just figured it was fine/normal and just gave me some busy work to appease my mind. Knowing full well it wouldn't have any affect. I don't know if...

    Tire puncture preparation

    I recently purchased a KIOTI NS4710. This tractor lives on my undeveloped (but, now, looking better!!!) property, across a narrow stream crossing. too narrow/not straight enough (I think) for a truck/trailer capable of pulling the tractor to cross. Anyhow. Is it generally a good or bad idea to...

    is this an issue?

    This appeared to have been the issue. I checked PSI after I finally found the rear tire stems were on the inside facing side, lol. pressure was good and I haven't seen any further evidence of leaking after several uses. THANK YOU!

    3PT question

    I know this is probably a question better suited for trial and error, or the owners manual. I have acces to neither of those things at the moment. so here goes. Kioti NS4710 - 7 hrs. 3pt is pretty jerky when lifting attachment (new/first tractor). it could be normal. I am not sure so I contact...

    Sizing attachments (FEL)

    Would there ever be a time where I would want to buy a grapple (or any attachment) that is smaller than my footprint? What kinds of situations (other than being able to lift more because of a smaller/lighter implement) would it be advantageous? Any? or is it in absolute that you should buy to...

    A few (probably) dumb questions.

    can you possibly explain this a bit more? I just heard about the shaft length issue the other day (and how it's likely you need to trim shafts)? I can probably assume this one is ok since it was installed by dealer? how can you typically get them sized right? how do you cut them?
  16. PatriotOutdoors

    A few (probably) dumb questions.

    Sorry. this is a KIOTI NS 4710 (cab). so towards larger end of compacts.

    Keeping mice out of your tractors engine bay over the winter and summer too.

    When I initially bought property I parked a 4 wheeler RIGHT in the woods and immediately had mouse and squirrel damage. I have since learned that staying away from anything that can be used as cover for a mouse is huge. they don't like being in the open. this is why opening the hood or putting...

    A few (probably) dumb questions.

    1. How easy is it to bend a 3pt connection or PTO? I've got some really thick briars mixed in with very small saplings. Typically, I need to back into these areas to cut them because there are larger trees on the other side that I can't really run over. I'm just slightly concerned that I am or...

    Fluid contamination

    How easy is it to hurt the system by introducing dirt through the hose ends? I just realized I may have done this the other day. Filter should prevent catastrophe, hopefully?

    Dumb, new owner question.

    I was at least able to get this implement (tree puller) working. Had a persistent dripping leak though so I didn't get to use it for nearly long enough. But I did get to use it enough to figure out it's going to be a complete game changer and make the whole tractor worth it. So definitely not a...

    Dumb, new owner question.

    Since you have a 50/50 shot of getting it right, there is a 100% chance it will be wrong. isn't that the truth!!! thanks guys appreciate it. just like confirming these things before I take a flyer.

    Dumb, new owner question.

    This should be an easy one. Does it matter which hydraulic hose from implement goes to which QD (male/female) on the tractor? My guess is it doesn't matter. Since there are two buttons on third function then my guess would be the hose only matters in that it changes the direction of the...

    What do I need to make this connection?

    So, I'm curious if I'm not doing SOMETHING wrong. but I can't get these new parts to tighten completely on each other. especially the 1/2 inch male NPT to QD(1/2 female NPT). The threads line up great and mate up perfectly for the first 4 threads or so and then it just won't turn/go on any...

    First Time owner questions (NS4710)

    Just FYI. I was able to get into float. I'm not sure what the deal is but it seems like the joystick is rotated or something. float is not "behind" down. it's behind down and roll back. once I noticed that I realized down wasn't straight ahead (in relation to mount) like the diagram showed. down...
  25. PatriotOutdoors

    What do I need to make this connection?

    good info. hadn't considered sealant. what happens if a fitting comes loose? death and destruction or a bit of an annoyance? also. back to a previous question. does it matter which hose from implement goes to which side (male/female) QC on tractor? I assume it doesn't matter but I also assume...
  26. PatriotOutdoors

    What do I need to make this connection?

    That would make more sense but there is some damage on one of the hoses on implement (1/4 inch) so it made sense (to me) to switch them out with new ones and I opted for 1/2 inch. so I guess, instead of converting from 1/4 to 1/2 on tractor side, I'm doing it on implement side. Thinking about...

    What do I need to make this connection?

    So what I've got is from implement cylinder - 1/4 female JIC to 3/8 Male JIC. 3/8 female JIC to 1/2 Male JIC 1/2 inch hose with female JIC on both ends. 1/2 JIC male to 1/2 NPT male. 1/2 NPT female Quick Disconnect (iso 5675) pair. Assuming I mate up with fitting on implement and quick...

    What do I need to make this connection?

    That's what I'm finding in my, now month long, tractor ownership journey. absolutely nothing is really standardized nor is anything easy to find online. Still trying to find hydraulic cylinders for top and tilt. Was going to check PSI on tires last time I was there because of apparent ballast...

    What do I need to make this connection?

    Does this help any? part appears to say 1/2 PT-22k but that doesn't really return any results online. also. on the attachment side... this is 1/4th JIC, correct? does the size of the hydraulic hose matter? IE can I get a female to female 1/4JIC to 1/2 JIC, carry out the line with new 1/2 inch...
  30. PatriotOutdoors

    What do I need to make this connection?

    so we're thinking this is 1/4th what would the maximum PSI be in something like this? I found these 1/4th to 3/8 nipple or whatever. is this sufficient @ 6000 psi? and then a 3/8th female to male quick connect. could very well be 1/2 but I rolled the dice to hopefully get it going this...

    First Time owner questions (NS4710)

    I tried this again. today with no luck. the joystick indicates float. the loader and instructions below joystick indicate float but I'm not able to get to it. should it engage without moving bucket down much? I try pushing it firmly and quickly from top and it just gets to ground. I tried the...

    is this an issue?

    great tip. thanks. I'll give that a shot.

    is this an issue?

    I noticed this today on my third outing with new tractor. has to be ballast liquid leaking, right? is this an issue? can't be a big leak. I don't think it could've been from another source. ground is BONE dry but it was sprinkling rain a tiny bit. the other tire doesn't look like that. obviously...

    What do I need to make this connection?

    this is a dealer installed third function valve on Kioti 4710. Im a new owner so I'm not sure what I'm looking for but I'm guessing it's something fairly common. the hydraulic hoses on the attachment can fit inside of 3rd function coupler.

    Do front skid steer attachments work for tractor front end?

    Assuming the flow is sufficient? I would figure they do, but there might be some general concerns regarding forces on the loader that wouldn't be present for a skid steer? looking at this front end auger in particular but asking, really, in general. https://mechmaxx.com/products/150155 this...

    First Time owner questions (NS4710)

    oh. hey. one other question if there is anyone left. what's the situation with ordering implements online? especially in terms of delivery. my initial concern was that they were expecting equipment to be onsite so that the (heavy) implement could be unloaded but I guess they use lift gates and...

    First Time owner questions (NS4710)

    I know. I do apologize and appreciate the patience. I'm sure most/all of this will come with experience. I'm just terrified of destroying my most expensive vehicle ever (by far) by doing something that seems normal to me but somehow ends up being the absolute worst thing you can do to a tractor. 😭

    man I'd love to send you a picture or even just explain it to you but I don't have a picture (and it's an hour and a half away) and I don't remember EXACTLY what it looks like as I haven't studied it and only been around it 2-3 times. After scrolling through the internet for 20 minutes trying to...

    First Time owner questions (NS4710)

    good point. I was going to ask about grapples too as I had considered getting a grapple first and just trying my hand with the that to see if I could replace a tree/post puller with it. but yes. the designs I've seen make it look like it'd be difficult if not impossible to grab straight trees...

    First Time owner questions (NS4710)

    Awesome! that's some good info! so the draft control is probably going to be unused in my applications (not really doing any "farming"). Regarding the throttle..... I know PTO should be at that 540 level does that apply to loader use too? As I understand it, you'll cause more Regen cycles if...

    First Time owner questions (NS4710)

    Hey guys. Enjoying owning my first tractor (NS 4710 HST CAB) but don't have too much idea of what I'm doing yet so a few questions. I know some of these are probably really lame questions so I apologize. Hardware/Equipment 1. The third function valve leaks fluid. Pretty badly if I accidently...
