Kioti CK30HST Pulling Power?

[VT365]

My CK30HST will not always break traction(or Spin) when in low range 4WD, when pulling a heavy load. Sometimes the HST will just load up a little and not break traction. Tractor is a bit heavy for the HP(3055lbs.) Is this normal?

This tends to be the norm for all HST tractors, it is a simple relief valve opening to prevent any damage and to prevent lugging the motor which is what a gear tractor would do if traction was good. Sometimes a little higher RPM will get the job done, but I wouldn't go over the max rated RPM's (3000 on my CK20HST).

When I owned a CK30HST it would spin the wheels in low range 4WD. I think if you do a search in the Kioti forum you will find some posts on pressure settings in the transmissions not being high enough on some new tractors. Your dealer can check that setting and they can increase the pressure if needed.
