My NX6010

Turns out that Fleet Pride in Bemidji was able to repair the broken driveshaft and set me up with a new hand guard all for only $295, less than half of what a new Woods driveshaft would have cost me from my dealer.

With the lake level down and unlikely to rise since the county made changes to the drainage of the three lake chain, I've been mowing down cattails that are on the shoreline. Trouble is that every 30 minutes or so I need to stop and blow out my radiator.

Yes! And it could simultaneously power a companion Turbo Chaff Interceptor to divert the junk from the airstream of the radiator in the first place. All well within Eric's impressive design and fabrication capabilities. :thumbsup:

Eric, how does the Fleet air wand in your video differ from the HF telescoping wand? Telescoping Blow Gun

I couldn't find it in a quick search on the Fleet web site.

The tractor genie is better than the wand and really does a better job for two reasons: first, it has a fan tail end that put more air out over a concentrated space. Second, it has a ninety degree bend that doesn't take up space. I like it.

Thanks for the link.

I plugged all the holes I could get to in the front of the radiator in hopes that would keep some of the grass seed from getting into the screen. Combine radiator systems have solved this problem a long time ago. Go Eric.

I'm down in the cities away from my tractor. Can somebody do me a favor and tell me the Donaldson part number for the NX air filter?

Thanks!

Edit: here are the Kioti NX series filter numbers.

Kioti part numbers:

NX series hydraulic filter T4620-38033
NX series HST filter T4125-38021
NX series engine oil filter E6201-32443

The Donaldson air filter must be the P827653 number.

Yup, Donaldson P827653. Here's a pic of the box, showing Daedong part no. as well at lower left.

This is the Donaldson safety filter number if you want to add it also.

P829332

A minor issue solved by yet another bungee strap.

 

[k0ua]

why does the holddown bolt let go? Does it come out of the metal tab? or did the hold down bolt break? or is it just slipping out of the hole in the tab? If it is just slipping out, just put a little more bend in the crook of the bolt. I have never had mine move or loosen up or anything. and I go over a lot of bumps and a lot of hills.

 

[Illini22]

Mine loosened up on my dk too, unfortunately one of the threaded rods was lost. Bungee for me too

As an operational update on my NX6010, after one month of sitting in the forest and receiving a total of seven inches of rain, and not being started, the brake safety switch became flakey. With the parking brake on, my tractor did not start. To my ear it acted like a flat battery. After the battery passed a load-test, I then found the fault with the brake pedal safety switch. After about 40 pumps on the brake pedal the switch started working normally again, a thing that I found out just as I was making a YouTube video to document the fault (cameras make things work, see).

Anyway, all fired up, I made a different video.

Nice video, Eric. Nice trailer also. New? Looks like it'll pay for itself quickly on your project!

On the NX brake safety switch, had you left the brake lock engaged for the month? I haven't looked into it, but I'm assuming it's a normally open switch that closes when the brake is on. I usually leave the brake/brake lock off when parked for very long, if the tractor's level and the FEL bucket and rear implement are down. But that's just because I don't like the idea of the brake lock's spring being constantly compressed. Wondering if it might also avoid the issue you had from long exposure to the weather.

I've had this trailer for a couple of years. I originally purchased it just to clean up windfalls, material transport, and to haul what I planned would be a sub-compact tractor for use at the five acre lake place. Then I stumbled upon the new place and bought it sight unseen. Now, like my 20' trailer, I wish I had purchased a bigger dump trailer.

Brake switch wise I hadn't considered your idea. I simply left the parking brake on because that's how I always park it.

Anyway, too much of this prompted the dump trailer purchase.

I forgot to post a photo displaying how the NX series draws air in under the hood as something of a follow-up on my thermostat swap.

Under a full load in medium with my rotary cutter, the temp gauge climbs and I presume that the tractor would eventually overheat if everything is as plugged as shown in photo below. This loaded up, the tractor will also run too hot in high gear as well. Blow everything out and it is all good. After the first time the temp gauge climbed above normal, I've learned to keep an eye on it when mowing down tall grass and chase back to the truck and clean things out as needed.

Speaking of blowing out the oil cooler, radiator, and condenser, I really like the Radiator Genie wands. So much so I did a video review earlier this summer.

Nice job on the video Eric.

I've noticed in a couple of Kappers videos and this last video that you made the NX6010s engine seems to bog easily. I wonder what is up with that?
