Adjusting the MLS valve on a Kioti CK3510

apTractor · Nov 13, 2018

Just bought a 2019 Kioti CK3510 and am trying to adjust the MLS valve. From what I've found online, the jerky operation of raising the 3 point lifting arms while the post-hole digger is attached is due to the MLS valve needing adjustment. I've reviewed the service manual and can't find anywhere that it spells out how to do that. Anyone out there that can help? Thanks in advance for any advice!

Does this help

Please post back and let us know if that actually helps.

My understanding is that the MLS valve will only control how quickly or slowly an implement is lowered (I.E. it is installed on the discharge side of the lift circuit and restricts the fluid flow thereby controlling lowering speed) and that the clunky lifting is the nature of the beast so to speak.

If I am incorrect - I would love to know.

Thanks & Good Luck.

Thank you both for the replies to my questions. From what I've seen, the MLS valve is what adjusts the upward motion, NOT the downward float. That is controlled by another knob on the tractor. In the video that Rneumann recommends, he does exactly what I want to do. However, the demo is on a CK20 which has a completely different location and access to the MLS valve. Let me know if anyone else comes up with any great ideas or approaches. Thanks!
