Hi folks;
My DS4510 has (occasionally) made a loud single clack sound that seems to be coming from the left rear wheel. (Though it is hard to say, for sure)
The tractor is 5 months old & in the 75 hours since new, it's happened maybe a dozen times.
My kioti dealer hasn't been helpful. Before I start making an issue out of this I wanted to check with more experienced folks on the forum.
Anyone heard of this before?
The tractor functions are all normal. In all gears in two & four wheel drive.
The noise seems to happen only once. It makes no difference operationally when it happens.

Do you ever use the diff-lock? Sometimes they're not real quick to disengage and I've seen some older units of various makes that will "pop" out and make a somewhat disturbing sound.

turn steering wheel hard right and goose it, then go straight for 15' then hard left and straight that should disengage the locking diff.

Can also just drive slowly forward and alternate the right and left braking some.

Interesting... I'll give that a try & pay attention whenever I use the diff lock.
This is very reassuring. Thanks guys!

My CK makes a very disturbing pop when coming out of the diff lock. I think it's just the differential unlocking, and nothing to worry about. If your noise only happens every once in a while and doesn't get worse, I'd not worry, there's a lot going on down there that can make noise.
