New member from Mossyrock. I will be doing 50 hour service on Kioti CK30

[Richatsalmoncreek]

Hello everyone. I bought a new Kioti CK30 manual in order to help me work on 8 acres I own in Mossyrock, Wa. Most of it covered with Alder, and doug fir. In the past, this land had a lumber mill on it and thus has lots of history. It also has lots of stuff buried on it that we dig up from time to time. We built a home on it a year ago and really enjoy living in the country on this beautiful property. I now have 50 hours on the Kioti and thus far, it has done a good job with the work that needs to be done. Initially had a starter problem, but once replaced, it is working just fine. Since I have never owned a tractor and am not mechanical, this first 50 hour servicing will be very interesting. I am amazed at how expensive it to do this job. Transmission fluid is not cheap. Does anyone have any tips on this project? Are there any videos? I look forward to using this forum as everyone here has a ton of experience that I will be able to utilize.

G'day and welcome to TBN from Downunder.

I'm a bit surprised that your 50hr service would include replacing the transmission fluid. Change the Oil & oil filter, maybe the fuel filter, YES. Torque your wheel nuts, YES. Inspect/clean the air filter, then check that all of your hoses & connections are tight. Finally do a full grease routine = DONE.

The tranny is usually after many more hours... check your owners manual for the schedule.
