CK30 50 hr service question

[Wattsfurniture]

Well my CK 30 is ready for the 50 hr service. I am going to have the dealer do It I think, but I cannot make sense of the manual as far as what is to be done.

Is hydraulic fluid replaced at 50 hrs? I just can't tell from the chart.

Anything else other than filters and engine oil?

BTW the tractor has performed flawlessly.

Les,
I didn't pay much attention to the book but took the advise of everyone here and changed both the Hydraulic fluid and oil as well as all three filters. That was about three weeks ago, and I've put another 20 hrs on it since. I'll be doing the fluid and filter changes (100 hrs) by August
No problems here either

My 50 is comming up soon, and everything will get changed. I didn't dicker with the price, but told my dealer if he threw in free delivery and the 50 hr, he had a deal...so he will be doing the first one. I would hope that alot of other stuff gets checked along with the 50hr, so on a new machine it's not a bad idea. I am going to pay the difference and have all synthetic fluids installed....gives me the warm and fuzzys......

On my 50 hour service, I did all three filters, engine and hydro oil, and front axle gear lube. You will be surprised at the metal shavings on the magnetic drain plug for the main hydro oil drain. Other than that, everything else was just checking, adjusting, and cleaning as per the manuals service recommendations.

I did my 50hr service, no big deal I replaced all filters and fuilds. I would suggest if you do your own have a big oil drain pan handy. Recheck your book for the proper amount of fuilds needed, I didnt do that on my 100hr service and thats not good.

I am just ablout to do my 50hr, too. Note that Kioti put hyd oil in the
front axle at the factory. The manual calls for gear oil. This may
have been intentional for break-in. It has been true for both CK30s I
bought, as well as for the new CK20 I just picked up.

Well, the chart in the manual is ambiguous. Mine is a ck30 gear, and dealer says transmission fluid is first changed at 100 hr. I don't know about the front axle. I'm just having them drive up with the filters...and a new BEFCO finishing mower! Comes tommorow.

I think I should call the factory on this one since the manual chart is basically unreadable.

Mine is a ck30 gear, and dealer says transmission fluid is first changed at 100 hr. I don't know about the front axle.

The only service I did at 50 hours on my DK 35 was greasing the machine, and a motor oil and filter change.
Hydraulic oil, hydraulic filter and front axle was done at 100 hours.
Changed my Air filter at 200 hours. Fuel filter at 4 or 500 hours.

I did not see a phone number on the Kioti site so I can't call and ask.
The dealer delivered the oil and filter kit yesterday, so I'll go ahead and do the service. They also delivered a BEFCO 72" finishing mower, and it looks very nice. Can't wait to try it....may play hookey from work to change oil and mow!

There is a contact system that uses an email type form on their site. It is not easy to get phone numbers for Kioti but the response to their email system is decently quick. I would ask them to get an answer from the horses mouth. Their responses usually include a contact phone number.
