New Kioti Please help! Many issues

[Midniteoyl]

No, my wr long came with a replacement grip for the joystice with 2 buttons. There was one pipe fitting that is eliminated in my install. Had to remove seat to get to it.

Did not know this. Last one I saw didnt.

Sorry to the OP, what a pain in the butt.

Your choice of a rinky dink dealership who doesn't even have a service department is the root of your trouble here. They obviously botched the 3rd function install and are deadheading your tractor hydraulics somewhere, which is robbing your power.

Sure, you might not be able to run high-range up a steep hill, but if you can drive on flat ground and move your loader around, the entire tractor hydraulic system is suffering badly. Why did you think it was ok to keep using the tractor in this condition? STOP USING IT UNTIL FIXED!

Folks, when buying new : VET YOUR DEALER. Demand to see the service shop and meet the staff. Ask questions.

But back to the OP - try not to get your clams all steamed by things taking a week at a time. This is normal. The mechanical issue here must be rectified, but be aware - it is going to take more weeks of downtime. Hang in there.

If it came with the Joystick w/ the buttons, pretty sure it was the Kioti kit.

The valve is installed under the right step.

The KIOTI 3rd Function Valve for a CX2510 does not mount under the right step. The KIOTI Valve mounts to the RH Front Loader Bracket.
Hope this helps

I do not know hydraulics, but wanted to chime in on the joystick. The buttons are for 3rd function, whatever it may be. Up/down, open/close etc.
dealer told me to install 3rd function, they sell a kit that attaches to joystick to run to hydraulics. Maybe it's just a Kioti brand of what aftermarkets sell. Doesn't sound like that dealer is too promising. Good luck. New Kioti here, only issue is with me getting used to it, and comparing to last tractor. Guess they don't all operate identically. I do miss the fancy seat that my NH had.

Hate you are having issues. I'm not a mechanic but installed my third function/diverter valve myself. My switch was different than the one shown above. Mine has a rocker switch. Sorry it was about 8-9 yrs ago so I am not 100% sure what I had to do. I followed the directions from WR and it looks good and so far has worked about 8-9 yrs without issues.

I also took out the detent for the rear remote. My FIL who was using it off and on accidently engaged it once. Removing the detent forces you to use the stick/handle to make it work. I am/was ok with that. I basically only used the rear remotes for my flail mower or post driver.

Hes, and mine, like like this post: https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/new-kioti-please-help-many-issues.651725/post-7382428
Which looks like the OEM 3rd function.

I left 1 with detent, one without. I need the detent for wood splitter
