Kioti Tractor CK3510 Review - What We Learned after 3 Years of Heavy Use
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- We've put our Kioti CK3510 to the test after 3 years of heavy use, we got the package with the KL 4010 loader and KB2475L backhoe attachment. We've added a few others over the years, but we're discussing how well the compact tractor has performed, what we've been able to accomplish on our home build and developing our homestead in the Colorado Mountains.
Would you like to see us do more?

I have the same ck3510 . Good job to both of you !! I really like your video👌
Glad you like it!
I would suggest a light bar and some individual lights you can U bolt to the roll bar. Any work in the dark (snow clearing) having a lot of light makes things safer and at worst you can always use it as a mobile light platform if say you need to do an emergency repair on the car at night. Never drill into the roll bar so any mounting to it must be bolted around the bar or into existing factory holes.
That you can also put a beacon light on the roll bar will make you more visible when working near the road in low light.
Great suggestions!! thanks
My wife and I have a plan to place a couple buildings on some land we have in the N Utah mountains, a Cabin and a reasonable Steel Garage. I have been shopping for tractors, mainly looking for abilities and size. Your CK3510 is the size (weight lifting capacity) I'm looking at and to see what you were able to accomplish with one that size has made my mind up. Now to settle on the brand. My slope is not quite as steep as yours and the soil is good with some rocks and boulders but I'm confident I can do most of the work myself, well the tractor will. Great Review.
Great! This has been the perfect size for us; we have a lot of videos to see what we've done; look at the retaining wall, and trenching specifically
Tractor maintenance is key for trouble free operation! Usually the first oil change and maintenance filter schedule is the first 50 hrs!
Each tractor is different….I usually replaced filters once a year on my tractor but with the hours you put on I would have done them twice a year.
Great video! Tractors sure are handy
Thanks for the info!
Nice looking kubota.
It's a Kioti
That was the joke, sir.
Sounds like the tractor already paid for itself. I love your channel!! So, what's the next project we get to see you working on? 😁❤️😁
Absolutely! Well I think there is some talk about cleaning up the outside of the retaining wall (boring) and getting some select trees from the woods to make our stair railings and posts. I think Bryan is taking a bike break this weekend.
At 300 hours it' barely broken in. Sounds about a 125$ an hour,with the tractor loader backhoe price of 32,000 $ price for the whole unit. plus fuel & fluid changes = 1.5$ per hour for fuel and 2.75$ per hour for All them filters & fluids. Just waite till the 3000 hour mark then it might have paid for itself!!!
Seeing how you all are away from tiwn and your dealer was 3 hours away, looks like buying a trailor would have been on a must buy option.
Otherwise you made a good choice and made excellent use of your tractor.
Our CK3510 is being delivered next week once the few added options are to be installed once they come in.
The fact we already had bought a trailer made it hard to justify. We do have another dealer that is a bit closer. We sure got our money's worth. You're gonna love it!!!
gotta love a good tractor. top on my list of must have items
Right on
Wow Bryan and Amy.. that's a lot of grief to bare fo r simple maintenance on your tractor!
But it's good you do the basic maintenance yourself. John Deere tractors have proprietary stuff too!
I think it's on purpose to make ya pay big bucks for parts and fixes.
I think you're 100% right about that! Just like mini coopers and other cars these days.
Own 2 Kioti tractors. Bought a new DK45 in 2003 w/ backhoe, loader, post-hole digger, finish mower, and brush hog (over time!) 2,800+ hours on it. A true workhorse. Actually bent the subframe on the backhoe which I replaced and reinforced. Instead of plowing snow with the bucket I bought a 2410 (HST)with a front snowblower. Made a cab for it and it is fabulous...we're in the snowbelt south of Buffalo. The 2410 became a necessity as my orchard trees grew and the 45 doesn't go through. I go 75 hours between oil changes on the DK45 and 100 hrs. on the 2410. Next year I may need to replace the (Industrial) tires. Wish I had the quick release on the loader bucket so I could put forks on easily. I love these tractors and never wished I went green.
Wow that's fantastic! The quick release is awesome.
How much this unit sir,
Wow they are over 40k with just the loader and backhoe out the door now. Crazy wjat two years can do
oh wow!
Correct. Prices on all brands have gone up a lot
The subframe for backhoe is so you don't break your compact tractor in half literally.
ok thanks
Your review helped in my decision to go with Kioti. Purchased a ck2610hst for our 4.5 acres. Great content guys! keep up the good work!
Awesome! Thank you!
@Big Bear Hungry where can I watch videos on kioti problems?
Hi guys , if you take a large thick garbage bag and pull over the seat on your backhoe when you finish your tasks your rear end will thank you in inclement weather..By large I am referring to garbage can size..
WEll man; wish we had that tip 3 years ago! LOL thanks!!
Yes I have the RK 37 with backhoe also use a large heavy duty trash bag for both tractor and backhoe seats all the time
For homestead maintenance, a must have equipment. Good investment indeed. Thanks for the guided tour on the Kioti. Kioti should compensate you for the promo.
You bet! I like the sound of that idea!
To rest the computer for the tractor can you disconnect the battery or is it more involved ? Pretty country y’all have a nice place
Someone else suggested that, so we will try that next time.
Great tractors I love mine have a hardy extendable hoe on dk45 been a great machine
Very nice!
Did you say it cost you $500 to rent that trailer, I think with your situation I would think about buying a trailer. I have a John Deere 4200 compact tractor that I have owned for over 20 years, finally got around to getting pallet forks this year.......love them. Thanks for sharing.
It was $100 to rent the trailer and the tie downs; but then again he did have to rent it twice, once for each trip. LOVE the pallet forks!! thanks!
@@ColoradoMountainLiving At the 10:26 mark it sounded like $500, glad it was $100 instead.
young man ,
Kioti loader tractor CK3510 / IS GREAT TRACTOR ! .
ALLWAY HAVE SOMETHING ON THE REAR OF YOUR TRACTOR , WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE ! .
I BOUGHT MY IN 2001 KUBOTA B7500 TRACTOR / I WISH I BOUGHT KUBOTA LOADER TRACTOR BUT I DID NOT , I JUST HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO BUY KUBOTA TRACTOR B7500 , I PAID CASH FOR MY TRACTOR ! .
GEAR TYPE TRANMISSION JUST A BIT MORE PWER THAN " H S T "
Thanks 👍 Thanks for all the info!
Do you wish you put a cab on it, or do you think that a cab would get in the way?
Good question! Perhaps a cab for the winter!!
Thank you for this review. Just bought the CK3510 w/ backhoe, box blade and grapple. In having not much experience I need the tractor for maintaining a 1 mile gravel road here in the Mtns of NC. I was given a gift of a foot of heavy wet snow my first week of having the tractor this past January. In never having used a tractor in snow, I used a scraper blade and 4W low.. Have to say I was amazed how well that scraper blade preformed in getting a nice curl off the sides and clearing within a 1/2 inch of the gravel on just a few passes. When everything melts will learn to clear an area for a barn thats heavily wooded, should be good practice on the backhoe as well.. so thanks for your video, it gives me confidence that this model can handle the jobs in front of it.
That's great! Hope you enjoy it.
Молодцы ребята, трудолюбивые и с такой техникой интересно работать, успехов и здоровья Вам …😄👍
thanks
Thanks for your video, I found it searching for Kioti reviews. I'm trying to decide between the 2510 or the 3510. I have 14 acres in East Texas that I'm building a small RV park on and have been asking around about tractors. I'm wanting the frontloader and backhoe as well as a box blade and brush hog. Someone mentioned to me that the emissions are an issue so he said to buy the CK2510 vs the CK3510. I'm a new tractor person so am hoping for your suggestions on this. Will the 10 hp make that much of a difference and should I be worried about the emissions? Appreciate your experience and guidance. Thanks, Jeff
Dont think emissions are a big deal. We have to do the regen process occasionally, but it's really easy, you just let it do it's thing. we have over 600 hours on ours, but the issues we've had have been related to computer programing issues. Our service dealer said they rarely see Kiotis come in for maintenance issues. I'd go with the larger 3510 , since I think it comes with the larger backhoe bucket. Good luck- you'll be happy with it!!
Often does it go through the regen process? Can you use during the process? How economical is it on diesel fuel? Good review. Thanks!
Not very often; like once every few months. You cannot use it during the cycle; which can last 30 minutes. Hard to answer the question about fuel economy, I suppose it's dependent on the type of use.Also DON"T SKIP the REGEN Process!!
Operate at around 2k rpm and you will regen less often.
Operate it at 2400 rpm ALWAYS after warming it. This is a modern tractor and this will not hurt it. It works most efficiently at that speed. It will regen itself automatically in less than 5 minutes. Do NOT stop running it! This the proper procedure. You only have to stop and regen manually if the dash light is blinking. It probably won't even need a manual regen if you operate at 2400 rpm (the PTO speed mark on your tach). Speaking from experience on a CK4010SE. The owners manual states the computer will need to be reset if you don't run it at high rpm which reduces soot and if you don't pay attention to the warning lights and regen properly.
My 2016 CK3510H with 250 hours uses maybe just over 1/2 gallon diesel per hour. I run it 2300-2400 RPMs, great for engine and hydraulic pump. Auto Regen has cycled maybe three or four times snce new. Per the manual, when the regen light comes on, set idle, parking brake, and shift to neutral. Walk away. Takes about 5-8 minutes then the light goes out. Go back to work. No issues other than preventative maintenance. Forks, box blade (with hydraulic top n tilt), loader (have Piranha Tooth Bar on bucket for hard or rocky soil, saves front bucket edge) and backhoe, each all used all the time. Post hole digger next on the list!
Just found your channel - wow you are such an inspirational couple. Thanks for the detailed review - subbed 🙂👍
Welcome aboard! Appreciate the support!
When I moved here in Tennessee back in 05 I had to purchase some form of riding mower to mow over 2 acres of lawn so I bought a 23 HP Craftsmen at Sears. In 12 years I beat the poor thing to a pulp; new tires and wheels, new deck, front suspension, many new mandrel assemblies and at least a dozen or more deck and drive belts. I have a hill that slopes like your deck side of your home and was forced to, because it would not climb the hill, sit on the fender and mow perpendicular to the fall line and, yes, I still feel it in my back. In fact I named the tractor “The BackHammer”. I must of put enough parts into that thing to pay for it at least three times. So 3 years ago I upgraded to the top of the line Cub Cadette tractor/mower and now, with a locking differential, I can climb the hill. I’d like to buy the box grader for this small tractor since it’s time to redo my driveway with stone, I have neighbors that would come and do it for me but self subsistence is important to me. Your video about the Kioti tractor and implements is inspiring since only after a little more than 100 hours my Cub Cadett GX3 25 HP is taking a beating. I see a finish mower or a bush hog in your future.
Oh wow. You sure got your money's worth from your machine. I think Bryan is leaning towards Bush hog.
Hello from Canada. Love your video and you guys have been very busy Your video has helped me make my decision to go ahead with the 3510. I live in a real snow belt area and I am going to install the tow behind Inverted snow blower so you drive forward while clearing. They have become very popular as most residential snow removal companies are using them over the last few yrs. I own a similar size JD but I can’t get a cab for it due to its age. JD are a lot more money compared to the Kioti Thx and keep having fun.
Excellent! Hope the snowblower works out great. We don't regret our purchase at all.
That's how I started following you guys! I bought 1, 2yrs. ago now! 460hrs now! not any problems here, just maint. I noticed you don't have anything on the outriggers? I used pieces of 2" channel bolted to the pads, really makes it bite when using the Backhoe! stops the sliding around!
Well isn't that great! SO glad you've had such a positive experience with your Kioti! Bryan was just talking about adding some bottoms to the backhoe pads.
We have a John Deere 3033R with the Yanmar 1.6L 3-cyl diesel engine. Has been a continuous problem since we bought it new. We purchased the extended warranty that is up August 2021. Every time we take it in for repair, they have it for weeks. Seriously thinking of getting rid of it next year. We have a New Holland dealer near us, may check them out. A neighbor bought a Rural King tractor early spring this year and loves it with no issues. It's worked hard to.
Yikes, that sounds like the ultimate hassle. Weeks? who can spare their tractor for that long? Let us know what you decide on.
@Patrick Elliott It's a 2015. New, hard to start. Faulty injection pump. Dealer had it three weeks. 45 hours, developed diesel knock. Tech bled air from fuel system. Didn't help. Took to dealer. Had 3 weeks. Got it back and 10 hours later while checking oil before use it was very high. Smelled like fuel. Back to dealer for 5 days. Injector issue and they changed oil & filters free. Still is hard to start. Dealer can't duplicate the problem ? Blew out 3 lift cylinder's on backhoe. Just took backhoe attachment to dealer. Had it 1 week 1st, 1 week 2nd, 3 weeks last. 100 hours developed electrical issues. "Tractor is pole building kept". They fixed it on site. Tech seemed to know exact problem. Took 3 days to get harness. Intermittent hydraulic issues. Filters constantly changed and system bled. Using the loader will sometimes stall the motor. 140 hours got transmission code. They changed something and it's been OK. Had 2 weeks for that. Right real wheel bearing seized. Dealer had it 5 weeks for that. The fuel delivery system and hydraulic systems have been consistently problematic. There is constant adjustment of hoses that work loose. Quality is just not there. I got the 60 month Power Guard warranty when I bought it which is up. Time to say goodbye.
Be careful with the New Holland. They're made by LS which have had more than the usual problems with their DPF systems according to other you tubers. Also, I've heard Rural King can't fix their tractors in house and has to send them off for major repairs.
Can you get a cab for it? Might be nice for bad weather
That's s good thought. Plowing during a blizzard has it's downsides.
Question: Have you guys given any consideration to setting 10 foot poles with red flags along the edges of the road etc. so you can see where you need to plow to and where you can dump snow when the snow is deep and the visibility is poor? Um... now before the snow starts in earnest?
short answer yes- likely will try the fiberglass poles with a painted tip.
I love my Kioti no failures just basic maintenance.
It's a great machine!
Love Kioti Tractors. If you need to reset computer try disconnecting the battery cables. Touch positive to negative cables together.
Cool thanks! That just may come in handy!!
I understand that you should put a resistance between them, as straight connection can overload computer during discharge.
@@ColoradoMountainLiving
I'm looking at one of these for myself. I have a question. How was the overall price compared to other tractors you considered before you picked the Kioti? Thanks in advance.
It was 10K less than most other comparable tractors with similar attachments. Possibly more, depending on the brand.
@@ColoradoMountainLiving I was hoping you would say that. I thought I was seeing things or maybe looking at the wrongs sites for information. Thank you. This'll be my future tractor for sure.
I compared the SE version of the CK3510 with a Kubota LX3310 and L3560 last weekend because the Kioti essentially splits the difference between those two Kubotas in power, lifting, size, etc. Comparably equipped with mid PTO, 3rd function, draft and position control, the LX3310 was $30,149, the L3560 was $37,046, so an average of $33,598. The Kioti was $27,799. I think the Kioti will require more maintenance and will have enough additional depreciate to negate the lower purchase price. Plus, Kioti putting the brakes on the same side as a split pedal is not a good layout on the HST models. What you save buying cheaper gets eaten up by maintenance and depreciation.
Did you have problems towing with the tacoma - is your tacoma v6 - how far did you tow the tractor?
No issues with towing, it was a 3.5 hour drive up into the mountains.
@@ColoradoMountainLiving Are you running stock suspension?
Great tractor review and helping hand around your new home. Loved the convenience, your creativity, sharing your stories and without any doubt the tractor design. Cheers.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for being a fan!
I live in NW Montana and was looking at this exact model today. I too am building our house this spring. Snowblower is my top priority for our 200+ yard driveway. Hope to see your review. I appreciate the honest review of issues.
Good luck! We just ordered a tractor mounted snowblower, so as soon as it arrives, we will do a review and also of one after getting to use it!!
How long is your tractor with the backhoe attached. Waiting on my tractor and want to build a shed for it.
Great information here.
Excellent review of your Kioti tractor. Very good units! I also have a kioti, the DK40 model. Pushing 900 hrs on it now. At first some people called it a toy, but nobody disputes its usefulness now . Amazing how much you can do with these tractors!
Very nice! Agreed!! thanks
I cover my tractor seat with a tarp when the tractor is left outdoors, That seems to keep the seat in nice condition.
That's a good idea!
I cover my tractor seat with a tarp when the tractor is left outdoors, That seems to keep the seat in nice condition.
That's a good idea! thank you
uhhh . . tip it forward. My Deere seat leans on the steering whhel and somewhat cover the cluster. Farmer have done that for a long time. Also no morning dew if you find you need to hop on it.
Do you feel like you should have purchased a bigger motor? Do you think you could have been ok with a 25 hp motor? I’ve been looking at your exact same tractor but the 25 hp is tempting because of the lack of exhaust maintenance.
The 35 hp has worked out well. i would not have gotten the 25 hp. I do a lot of backhoe and loader work lifting dirt, logs, huge rocks, gravel, unloading materials with the forks. The backhoe is also good just for ballast when the loader is picking up something heavy. We also have a 6' x 2' snowblower which needs the hp. The only thing, which is comfort related, would be a cab.
Thank you for the excellent review, and congratulations on your lovely property. Have decided on this identical model, and hope to have it in the next few weeks. Be well and enjoy!
Right on!!
I live not far from you in Golden where did you buy your kioti and have you been happy with the dealer? I am looking at the same tractor. Thanks
In St. George the dealership there. they are great, just a bit far to drive for maintennnce.
Really helpful review, thanks, it has helped me in my search for the right small acreage tractor
Glad it was helpful!
Living in Colorado especially you do need to be prepared for all types of snow removal and moving ,heck I was out there inJune years ago running around in shorts and T shirt and we got caught in a Snowstorm outside Denver that dumped about 6 inches really fast , for the most part most of the Kiotti owners seem to be pretty happy with their tractors overall I like their pricing FYI on your bucket you should keep a eye on local Craigslist for used Buckets I’ve seen lots of Skidsteer buckets for sale very inexpensively that may be a good option look in both Heavy Equipment and Farm categories
Thanks for the tip on used buckets!
Lake George!!!! Phone changed it to St. George and I didn’t see it before post. Sorry.
Ah mystery solved!
How much do these tear up/rut the yard or grass turf in general? I was thinking about getting one, but I have about 6-7 acres of grass yard. And also using it up around the house for mulch, I was concerned that it might be too big of a machine for those jobs. Thanks
It will depend on how dry or wet your turf is. You will get ruts of you use on wet soil. It will also tear up the grass and leave dirt if used on very dry soil. Perhaps a lighter weight/smaller machine might be better for your needs. But it does tear up the grass. Since it's mostly dry conditions for us, we end up with a lot of exposed dusty dirt , if you drive over an area multiple times in a span of days.
Do you think you could have gotten by with the 2610? Or did you need the extra HP?
No sure, do to the digging, we really got our moneys worth out of what we have..Probably woudln't have wanted to go smaller.
If you had it to do over wud u get a cab? I’m thinking you have to remove the backhoe frame and add a snow blower frame if you buy a front snowblower. Kiote shud have engineered a multi frame that can stay on and not impede on the loader or other attachments. Just saying!
It pretty much comes down to cost. adding a cab and capabilities for front PTO makes the machine price go up to $10K or more. so it made more sense for us to keep the costs lower. We'll see after this winter if the opinion changes.
I love my kioti. I think you will need chains on the rear wheels for the new snowblower because the blower will make your front wheels "lighter" and loose traction in the snow.
Nice! We seemed to have no problems this year with the front chains.
Which tractor is a better quality and more reliable tractor, Kioti or a Massey Feeguson?
Never drove a Massey, so can't say.
You guys are right down the road from me, and i’m looking at the same tractor from the same dealer...small world. Thanks for the upload..:)
Very cool! You'll love it!
Looking at this or similar models. Do you know if the snow blower can go on the front? Or just the rear?
I think just the rear on this model, no front PTO.
My construction site will be on a hill so this episode is of much interest to me. The leech field site may be have same consideration. Looting sounds like a PU in auto parlance. I would probably go for convenience; a low rider, a Lamborghini Ventrac (lol).
Good, glad it was helpful!
Great info keepem coming.. great channel
Thanks, will do!
We own a DK45SE HST and similar to you, we've used our Kioti for everything. We have the 2485 stick, 80 inch snow buck, forks and 7 foot york rake. We've designed a 6 foot work platform for the forks and use that to transport anything. We consider our Kioti the 2nd best investment, first is our 9 acre property. Thank you for the great video. Todd in NH.
Thanks for sharing! We agree- have used it for everything.
We just bought the exact same implements for our new CS2520! So far we are thrilled with it. We have 8 wooded acres and an existing pole barn. Going to convert the barn in to workshop/residence then a house further back on the property.
That's great!!
These CK series Kioti tractors are darn near bullet proof. Looks like I am not the only one who puts on some hours. Great work horse in a compact pact package. Nice video.
That's just great to hear. Thanks!!
Looting? Ignore that..
LOL
I’m thinking you wud be better off with a rear snow blower cuz you wud have to change the mounting brackets every time you change over from backhoe to snowblower. I’m thinking it’s a major pain to do so.
The snowblower is 3 point hitch so you don't need to change the brackets. We take it off during the winter anyway.
@@ColoradoMountainLiving I’m talking front snow blower!
So basically if your doing any building yourself this machine is a must
It's been for us!
Wowwww. Are you still having fun living outside town? Do you both have fulltime jobs? How "off-grid" are you?
Yes definitely happy to be living outside of town. The only pain is having to run errands that are in town on the weekends. Bryan works full time plus and hour commute- so about 50 hours a week. Amy works about 30 hours a week from home. I would say not off grid. We are connected to electric power; natural gas and internet; we we do have intentions of converting to solar.
Your audio seems hopeless, maybe you could re-edit it with a voice over??
Can you be more specific? I thought it sounded pretty good. What exactly are you hearing/not hearing?
Only hear on left ear very muffled as if your mic is facing away from you behind camera. Hope that helps. I have noticed this in other videos but it is fixed when you change camera view (not editing)
Jade White Dove sound is only on left channel. Nothing on right!
Ok this is good info; we were using external clip on mics; so that must be it. We each were wearing one, feeding into one receiver; not sure how to fix that; I don't hear the difference in the editing via the computer. So you are saying you hear it when wearing headphones?
Colorado Mountain Living , yes. I wear the right headphone when I’m in the clinic in case someone wants to talk to me. And at first I thought you had no sound. I tried the left and your sound was coming from that side only and this continued through nearly 80% of your video. The last 20% had normal sound through both ear phones. So what ever change you made through that point corrected problem. I hope this helps
Can you put a snowblower? I also live in Colorado in the mountains.
yes we have a snowblower for it, check out our videos on it. Woodmaxx
YOUNG MAN ,
MAKE SURE U TRY BUY NEW " TANDEM TRAILER , NEXT TIME GO AROUND , WILL PULL ALOT BETTER / AN SINGLE AXLE TRAILER WILL JACK K IN THE MOUNTAIN
Tandem trailer. got it! thanks
Please get ag tires , I have very similar terrain and they really help, good luck.
Thanks!
Helpful, informative review. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Have 2020 model, put 30 hrs on it and did 6 months worth of work. Gotta love it. Still waiting on backhoe, grappler, and plow blade. Gonna be a lot of fun!
Excellent! We could certainly add a bunch more fun attachements.
YOUNG MAN ,
IN THE WINTER MONTH U CAN USE SNOW FOR WATER !
Very true. Wish we thought of that last year- because we need the water now!!
We are considering the same tractor and also live in the mountains of Colorado. We were warned by a dealer about our elevation and clogging the diesel particulate filter. What elevation are you guys at? It doesn't sound like you had any of those issues. Thanks for the video, it was really cool to see the different uses for the tractor.
We haven't had any issues that we know of particular to high altitude. we are at 9300 ft.
Thanks for the review. Very helpful! I'm starting to do the same things you have done (also in Colorado). It's good hearing about your experience.
Glad it was helpful!
Your front bucket is in great shape compared to mine, but I have abused the ground engagement edge because our ground is mostly limestone. Flipping out 1200 lbs chunkers has warped that edge. I’ll be buying the backhoe this spring.
Oh wow!
You can have a double edge cutting edge made to fit your bucket. Bolt on. Will strengthen your bucket remarkably.
You guys Rock !

Ashland Ohio
HAHAHA!!
Hi kids!! If you were closer I would weld that up for you. That gap is to wide to run a bead you’re going to have to weld a steel plate across it
Well that would be nice. Good to let us know about the gap size.
Colorado Mountain Living 👍👍
Nice eloquent presentation. Very helpful for potential tractor purchasers
I would love to have you two as neighbors
Thanks 👍
How often does the oil need to be changed?
Seems like he's averaged about 2-3 times per year so far.
At first 50 hours then every 400 hours for the tier 4 engine.
You are lucky that you had only one engine problem in three years.
Very lucky! thanks
Can you share what chains you got and where you got them from?
Bryan cannot remember, he's thinking maybe Tirechains.com; but he got the front chains, not the rear chains.
I appreciate your review. Good job!
Glad it was helpful!
Un tracteur sert bien pour pleins de choses est les efforts en moins 😊🤗🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷bisous de France j,adore vous regarder
Yes absolutely!
Was the “bogged down” issue caused by a regen failure or oversight? I know that the regen system will go into a limp mode if you ignore or miss the warning.
Think it was related to the cold and not using the block heater. Since we started doing that, no problems this year at all.
@@ColoradoMountainLiving
Sounds about right. Really cold starts cause a lot of soot to build up in the cat. Regen is supposed to counteract that, but if it fails, the computer will go into limp mode. Did the shop suggest using a radiator cover during low temperatures?
@@ColoradoMountainLiving
We had to use ether on our old equipment and cover the radiators during the winter in Korea. The 800 and 900 series trucks couldn’t reach operating temperature when ambient temps dipped below 15 degrees. When we received the 1000 series trucks we didn’t know how to act on cold mornings. The starting procedure was almost effortless.
Sold my Simplicity Legacy XL diesel. Still kicking myself...
Dang it!
@@ColoradoMountainLiving what dealership(Kioti) did you use in UT? I live close to you guys.
So I have the same tractor and configuration and I have found high range almost completely useless with even the slightest hill even without any implements on the back. Does anyone else experience this, or should I start troubleshooting?
I think the only time we've ever used high gear is the time we drove the tractor down the road a mile, flat road. It just saved some time.
I have a 2610 and hilly property I hardly get out of low range. Guess if I had of went with the 35 it still would have been too small
Are you able to pull a grader box full of stone up your driveway?
I want to get the 2610 for driveway maintenance but we have some steep hills and I worry about hydrostatic.
good info!!
Very smart choice. Smart people
Thanks!
I love my 3 point log splitter attachment. Might want to check one out.
Cool!
do you have to depress the clutch to engage the pto?
yes
Hope you enjoy the snow blower. Everybody seems to really like them

I was thinking about buying a ck2610 then forgot about the tractor when saw your cute wife!😁
LOL!
Good info
Glad it was helpful!
I saw the CK3510HST today but did not pull the trigger. I need a trailer, brush hog, loader and box blade which made my total $29,450 before Tax, Insurance and assembly fee.. The backhoe is nice just not sure how this small tractor will due so didn't bother asking for the price on it.. I will continue to do research before buying. Kubota told me $31,000 on the L3901 package and when I got there it was over $43,000 which made no sense to me. Great video.
Yes ,, important to do your own research.
