now in the K club :)

Closed on my new CK 3510HST today. I found this in early March before the COVID19 situation and just could not pass up this deal.

CK3510HST
KL4030
Quick Attach Bucket STANDARD
Deck Mat
3rd Function Valve kit
2 rear remotes (1 center/1 detent)
R1 tires by CHOICE. Must have Ag tires for my uses.
rear Ag's 1/2 full of Rimguard by dealer
Did not want the telescoping arms because I prefer Pat's EZ change
Did not need the other items that came with the SE.
Ordering the EA Wiked tooth bar tomorrow.

Before tax $20,949. I had my mind set to purchase the other Orange but their quote was not even close. Also, compared to other orange IMO this had a more comfortable/roomy operators platform. So ended up with Kioti.



They have another 3510 on sale that is a gear drive and I bet its even more reasonable in cost. Let me know if you want their info.

That would have been pretty hard to pass up if you wanted a tractor. Yep. Congratulations, and welcome to the pack.

One caution about the detented remote. We have seen when inexperienced operators use the tractor they accidentally put the stick into detent and can cause the pump to deadhead and overheat. It is usually when they loan the tractor out or wife or son operates it. One cure for that is to either have the detent balls removed (what I did) or if you don't want to do that put a loopback hose on that remote. That way if the control lever gets detented for a period of time it won't deadhead. Fluid will flow back to tank. Deadhead=bad.

Too pretty to get it dirty!

Many thanks. Great info. I am not well trained enough to know about the detent balls but before I departed I asked the dealer for a loopback hose. The loopback on the rear remote is actually one of the photos I posted. :thumbsup:

I like your EA single lid wicked. For over 10 years I have been clearing invasive Japanese bush Honeysuckle (lonicera japonica) from my place. Removing it has been hugely helpful in a number of ways. I have various ways of removing it with the roots. If you pull it WITH the roots rather than just cut it the removal methods are all somewhat labor intensive therefore I only remove 1-2 acres per year.

So I am looking at the EA 55" wiked root rake for helping me to remove this destructive invasive alot easier.

Good luck with your tractor. Looks like you bought it at Hoover Tractor great people to work with. Bought my CK30HST FEL/BH in 2006 and working great.
