5 extra hp

[bubba43]

How hilly? Track loader hilly? The only thing I can do on a hill with my Kioti HST 6010 is going up and down with the grades. You sure a tractor is your best and first choice.

That extra power goes to the wheels, but when I'm working on a hill, I'm in my lowest gear anyway.

Its not that bad. But, there is some spots that I will not even try and go up on my 4 wheeler. I run my CK30 up and down them now. Its just a little slow going.

Dealer...Dealer...Dealer......it is said throughout TBN
I have bought many cars in my lifetime. I can recall only one time needing the dealer...Peugeot diesel (POS)
I have three tractors all bought used.
None has ever been to a dealer.
Any necessary parts come by UPS from Messick's...450 miles away.
I have an equipment trailer, and can take any tractor with issues, to any shop I might want. Most everyone with a tractor SHOULD have a trailer.
A dealer to me, is as worthless as **** on a boar pig!

For those with a Tier IV tractor though,it might be best if the dealer is your next door neighbor.

You are spot on about the Tier IV crap. I've had my share with it and it has cost me over $1500.00 out of pocket for warranty work that Kioti refuses to pay for.

Hill痴 and Hydro痴 are not a good mix if you are dead set on Hydro my suggestion is get all the Horsepower you can cause your going to need it

I'm going with hydrastatic so that my boy can operate it safely and I do alot of grapple work. I do agree with getting all the hp that I can. That HST really robs the hp.

I dont believe that formula works for diesel, only gas. Diesels are low RPM high torque engines.

Of course it works for Diesels! The formula is a basic engineering definition of horsepower, applicable to any power source.

Even a water wheel.

After negotiations with my dealer, the NX4510 ended up being over $2200 cheaper than the 5010. I have one on order and should have it in 2 weeks. I priced a Kioti box blade while I was there, man they are expensive.

Congratulations! Post pictures when you get it home!

You probably can find a good deal on a used box blade. I have had good luck going used on most implements.

Good deal, hope you like it.

Congratulations on the new tractor!

Don't you already have a box blade for your CK?

I think the Kioti-branded box blade you looked at for your new NX may be a re-branded Woods BSM84 BB, with Kioti paint. I say that just based on pics that another TBN member posted a few weeks ago of his new Kioti blade. If so, the Woods BSM84 is a very nice match for the NX4510 at 750 lbs, especially for the hilly conditions you describe. I've had one in steady use for nearly six years on my NX4510HST cab and would not want it any bigger or heavier. For a price reference, I paid about $1,300 in early 2014. I see them listed new online for about $1,400 now, so if that's what your Kioti dealer is quoting, that's actually not bad. Very rugged construction.

I do have the box blade from my old tractor but it is only 5 foot and I now need a 6 footer. Threepoint, that's exactly what the dealer wanted for a six footer. $1400.
