Kioti CS2510 .. taking off (and back on) the FEL, and front snow blower ??

[Joe Dee]

Greetings ...

I have a CS2510 with cab on order + the FEL and SB509 front snow blower. I've been searching for videos on removing / reattaching the FEL as well as the SB50 but can't find any on YouTube or the Kioti site. I found them for other brands, can anyone share a link or tell me where they can be found?

Thanks,

i'll try and get a few pics or a vid for ya tomorrow. it's pretty easy to remove/attatch by yourself. if the 2510 is the same as my 2610, you first have to slide the (gold) kickstand feet up to release them from hooks.(they are spring loaded to stay against the hooks, so they aren't flopping around, getting caught on stuff.) then you can lower the kickstands to the ground, and relieve the weight from the hinges. then remove the pins. after that, lift the FEL till the hinges clear. then back out a bit so it all clears. the last step is to remove the hoses and put colored caps on the the remote connectors. having the HST makes it easy, i don't even have to climb up in the seat to remove mine. just make sure ya take your time and keep your eyes opened. make them show ya how when they deliver it. it's easy and quick and a good dealer will be happy to show ya how to operate the tractor safely.

Many thanks. The dealer told me the FEL legs/supports are not attached to the arms but snapped into a retainer (somewhere on the frame I guess?) then pinned/clipped into position on the arm for use. I'm sure they'll give me the once-around before unleashing me with it!

Much appreciated...

FWIW, i have a FEL and 6’ front mounted blower. Its recommended to remove the loader when using the blower, but i have discovered that the loader can be raised approximately 6 feet and secured there with a hydraulic ball valve (shutoff valve) in the appropriate line. Then i relieve pressure with the joystick and unhook all 4 loader hydraulic lines and use the tractor hydraulics to lift the blower and swivel the chute.
A little clumsy with the arms there, but the blower does not lift high enough to touch the loader arms. I do remove the forks/bucket before mounting the blower, but the arms are up there. They are still lower than the roof of the cab.

My dealer did the first swap from the loader to the blower, in the fall, and back to the loader, in the spring at my shop as part of the deal.

It helps that the dealer is five miles from my shop, though.
