I took delivery of my new CK2510 about 2 weeks ago. The dealer dropped it off and then wouldn't demonstrate the BH (which was the only part I hadn't experienced while shopping). He said "read the manual, it's all in there". Well it's not, and his attitude should have foreshadowed my problems.
BTW, the manuals are not very good.
I figured out everything and checked over the machine. One bolt is missing from the left rear wheel and the drawbar is not there; also there is provisions for the Slow Vehicle placard but it's absent as well. I called him, he'd said he check into it and I haven't heard from him since. I think he's written me off for future sales since he isn't close.
One day after working with the Kioti I experimented with folding the ROPS; it won't. Ahhh! The top part was mounted backwards; easily fixed. Now it folds onto the drivers seat:thumbdown:. Ahhh! The left and right mounts were swapped; also easily fixed. Except that they stripped 3 out of 8 mounting bolts.
One they drilled out and replaced with a bolt and nut, the other two they left in the stripped hole.![Mad :mad: :mad:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
So now my ROPS is held up by 6 bolts instead of 8. Oh and I found that 2 bolts are missing from the under-fender support the ROPS is bolted too. There is also the mis-routed wires and loose bold holding on the fuel tank. So ... don't trust M&H Tractor in Middletown, NY.
I've contacted Kioti and am awaiting a reply. I hope they do well by me.
But the little machine performs well. My buddy with a bigger Kubota L3010 was impressed with the power of the BH (his is a Woods) but the levers are reversed.
