Next will be the Kioti CK2610 / CK2620 (Bobcat CT2025). I still haven’t acquired one of these tractors. I’ve been looking for a used unit locally without much luck. So, I’ll likely purchase a new one in the next couple months and then we’ll get to work. Interesting enough, there’s also the SE model with Cab (and A/C) so we’d like to make one Turbo Kit for both models as we did with the L3240 but, we’ll have to see (we do know the air cleaner assembly is in different locations so there will be differences between the Kits but, we’d like to make minimal modifications between the two models to save costs).

You can use my Kioti.

Well, I don't need to replace my B yet, but if I ever do I'll be calling you for an L2502 kit!

 

[JeepHead]

I am anxiously waiting that 2502 kit to come out!

 

[Rdrcr]

The L2502 Turbo Kit will be coming too. Nothing is secured yet but, we have an OEM dealer that might be willing to lend us a tractor for fitment. If that happens, it’ll speed up the development process for the L2502.

Shipping a tractor from Maine to Washington and back wouldn't be cheap, but...

I need to not scheme without getting the wife on board first.

 

[Rdrcr]

Let me know if you get your wife on board. We can work out the details at that point.

But, rest assured, we will have a Turbo Kit for your tractor.

The gentleman that dropped off the L3240 brought his camper. So, while we worked, him and his wife enjoyed the Washington coastline.

^^^^^
Plus, if you bring us the tractor and our intention is to develop and design a Turbo Kit....you get free installation!

Turbo brothers!

We had a successful day at the dyno with the L3240. The L3240 Turbo was able to match my L2501’s 44 HP / 35 PTO HP.

However, it is worth noting, the owner of the tractor wanted to keep EGT’s well below 1,100 degrees (1,041 degrees in this case) and settled on a fuel setting of 1 1/2 turns which produced 33 PTO HP.

During this testing session it was great to see how small incremental adjustments in the fuel settings affected performance while on the dyno.

Overall, the L3240 and S2T Turbo Kit performed flawlessly and provided incredibly consistent performance throughout the testing and dyno session. We’re very pleased with the results and the customer is extremely happy!

Suffice it to say she is not on board at the moment, so I'll just have to be patient until I can purchase the kit.

It was worth running it by her.

^^^^
Completely understandable. My lady wouldn’t approve either.

Having a few more years of warranty under my belt to throw away wasn't a big selling point.

 

[Rdrcr]

I was recently contacted by a local Kubota owner with an LX2610 Cab that wants a Turbo Kit. So it looks like we'll probably have a couple new Turbo Kits for 2026!

While I'm excited to see your work expanding, and the LX-10 series is a big market, I'm sad to see it isn't a Daedong lol.

Thank you!
We appreciate it!

You have nothing to fear!
The Kioti CK2610/CK2620 and Bobcat CT2025 is next on the list to get a Turbo Kit. The Kubota LX2610 Turbo Kit will follow afterwards.

And, I'm hoping to have a CK2610/CK2620 or CT2025 on my property in the next several months to begin testing.

Mike

 

[tacticalturnip]

You'll have it ready for sale around the time my warranty expires, lol.

Perfect timing!
