I enjoy your videos. I purchased a CK2610 back in April and wished I would have gotten a tractor in my younger days (now 60 yrs old). It sure would have made my life easier. These tractors are amazing at what they can do. I had the third function and root grapple added to mine when I purchased it. Keep the videos coming as I have enjoyed all of your neat things you have added to your Kioti.
Hi Douglas, glad to hear you are enjoying your tractor. They definitely do make life easier. Got a lot of projects that I wouldn’t even attempt without the tractor and attachments. I really appreciate the positive feedback and thank you for checking out the videos and commenting.
I have a 2012 CK27 I bought new. It came with the adjustable leveler you installed. I also just bought the hydraulic top link and that is a game changer along with the piranha tooth bar. Something you should look into also is a quick hitch. I bought mine at harbor freight years ago and it makes hooking up attachments much easier. Thanks for the videos.
Hi Paul, makes me wonder if that used to be standard equipment on all their tractors and like everything else these days, now they go a cheaper route. I do have the hydraulic top link and tooth bar and as you said they are both game changers. I also have the harbor freight quick hitch. Haven’t used it on the Kioti yet, but I do use it some with my Massey. It works with most of my attachments, but there are a few that it doesn’t work with. Thanks for checking out the video and commenting.
As always a great video. I don't understand why Kioti doesn't include this as a standard part, my 1953 Ford Jubilee even has a crank adjustable one. Someone else, don't remember when or even where I came across this add on part. But made a note for a future purchase. They claimed that the part was available through Kioti. Part nomenclature/number was CKA 123 (as you referenced) "whole goods kit" priced at $75.00. Sure beats the heck out of the "manually adjustable" one! Also heard that Kubota has one that supposedly fits Kioti, Kubota part number L8430, don't know the price or if it really would adapt for the Kioti. I like my CK3510SE-HST but irritated by the jerky lift (standard equipment) of the rear hydraulics! Thanks again for the info!
Hi John, totally agree with all your statements about the crank style adjuster and the 3 point lift system on the CK3510. Like you, I love my Kioti, but they really need to take a look and improve the 3 point lift system. It's things like this that could really make the CK series stand out and make a huge improvement on a really good tractor. Thanks for checking out the video and commenting.
Same here. My 1995 MF-231 has the crank style and all the older farm tractors i've driven over the years had it as well. Guess it's like everything else these days, pay more get less. Thanks for checking it out.
Thank you Sir!!!! I am going to get a 4020. My 35 year old ford 1520 had a crank adjuster. I thought that lame thing is very cheesy on all the UA-cam’s I have watched. Even from dealers. Why in the heck is it not standard. I move that a lot with different implements. Thanks again. You answered one of my questions
Yes Sir, you are very welcome. I totally agree, should be standard equipment. You know how it is now days, pay more get less. I grew up on Massey's and Ford's and they all had the adjustable cranks. Thank you for checking out the video and commenting.
Good morning, does lift arm come with grease fittings? On yours, I can see the grease fittings but on the image online it doesn't appear to have them. Appears to be just plugs to protect the threads. Thank you for the video. I always enjoy your videos.
@@staceyhodges6036 yes, it has 2 grease fittings. As you could probably see around to 4:05 mark in the video there is one on the upper part near the crank and one down lower where the shaft extends out. They came already installed when I received it. Thanks for checking out the video and I appreciate the kind comments.
Great video, and thank you for sharing. I'm interested in getting one of these. My question is, do you get more, less, or the same up and down travel as you would with the oem part? Thank you!
Thats a great question. I haven't actually compared it. I'm thinking it's about the same, but I will take a closer look and compare the travel of the old one and see if I can give you a better answer.
Hey, thanks for getting back to me. I went ahead and just ordered one off eBay. The value I will get out of this, if it isn't the same as oem for any reason will likely be much more. I'm glad you shared this though. I've been having to move mine up and down a lot lately, cutting a new road, so this will be a game changer for sure.
@@tibs2059 Awesome, glad the video was helpful for you. Another thing, you may already have one, is a hydraulic top link. It is a game changer when doing box blade or land plane work.
Yes, I do have the Hydraulic Top Link and will never not have one moving forward. Big-time game charger, as you said for sure. My order just came and from top to bottom you get a total of 2.5 inches of movement with this part. More then anyone should ever need for there box blade. Thanks again for making this video. You are the only one that has done a video on this part and this is going to be another game charger for me. Good times and God bless!
I need to get one! I have same tractor. I agree with the 3pt hitch is jerky. Had a kioti rep from wendell NC at the farm show tell me its the nature of that machine. Aggravating though😒 Sometimes i wish id a ket my kubota L5030.
I feel your pain. That's really my only complaint with this tractor. I think it is the type of valve they are using. I have a 1998 MF-231 and the 3 point lift is as smooth as silk. Thanks for checking out the video and commenting.
I had the same problem, not easy to find. I kept checking back on eBay and finally got lucky. It shows out of stock now, but keep checking back and hopefully they will get more in. Also may want to check and see if your dealer can order it. Thanks for checking out the video and commenting. Here is the eBay link I ordered mine from. www.ebay.com/itm/254935485140
That’s where I got it around 2 weeks ago. When I first started looking it was also out of stock every time I checked. Guess I just got lucky and checked it when they had just got some in. Keep checking, hopefully they will get another shipment, but I’m sure they will sell out fast. Thanks for checking out the video.
No, none are missing. There are 6 total. 2 are normal studs that the nuts go on from the outside. 4 are threaded bolts that screw into threaded holes in the wheel hub. I can see where that does give it the appearance that some are missing when looking from the inside view of the wheel. Thanks for checking out the video and commenting.
I’ve never seen one on any tractor on left side I’m guessing because you can adjust the one on right side up or down which will also affect the lift arm on left side. In other words, if you lower right link arm it will touch ground first and make left side ride higher. If you raise right link arm it will allow left side to touch ground first and ride lower. Hope that makes sense. Thank you checking out the videos and I subscribed to your channel.
i have a ck3510 as well and noticed you have the solid pin adjustable stabilizer bars on yours. mine has the chain ones. did yours come with them stock? did they come with the extendable bars that i also do not have?
Hi Phillip, yes the pin type stablizers came stock on my 3510se. Not sure if that's because it's the SE model. Yes, it does have the link arm extensions, which does make it much easier to hook up the 3 point attachments. I'm pretty sure the link arm extensions are stock on the SE model and not the case on the standard 3510. Hope this answers your questions. Thanks for checking out the video.
Good video first person to show how the adjuster arm works in all the videos I have seen
Thank you !!

In my very limited experience, anything that help dealing with the triple hitch in a more easy way is totally worth it.
Very true. Just wish they would put some of these accessories on the tractors of today like did did on our Massey’s. Thanks for checking it out.

Thats a huge improvement! I have one like that on my old 8n, never liked the one on my kioti.

Where did you get it? eBay lists it but has been “out of stock” forever. Can’t find it even listed anywhere else.

Keep checking, hopefully they will get another shipment, but I’m sure they will sell out fast. Thanks for checking out the video.
I may be mistaken but are you missing some lug bolts in the rear?
No, none are missing. There are 6 total. 2 are normal studs that the nuts go on from the outside. 4 are threaded bolts that screw into threaded holes in the wheel hub. I can see where that does give it the appearance that some are missing when looking from the inside view of the wheel. Thanks for checking out the video and commenting.
I’ve wondered why this type of adjustable link isn’t also on the left side??? Tim in northern TN
I’ve never seen one on any tractor on left side I’m guessing because you can adjust the one on right side up or down which will also affect the lift arm on left side. In other words, if you lower right link arm it will touch ground first and make left side ride higher. If you raise right link arm it will allow left side to touch ground first and ride lower.
