Thanks for your kind words. I try my best to research equipment before I buy and it was tough getting information so I thought other people are having the same problem. Thanks for watching and commenting. TCT
I am in agreement with most of these comments. I have watched hundreds of these videos, many of which were factory authorized and/or produced. This presentation and presenter were, hands down, the best I’ve seen. I certainly appreciate the effort.
Emilio, I am humble by your kind commitment. When I was shopping for a tractor I couldn’t find very good information so I set out to do my best at educating people on options they should look for. Thanks again for watching and commenting 👍TCT
I’m glad you found my video informative. I too had researched tractor for a couple years before I bought my Kioti and unfortunately there wasn’t much detailed info. Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
With a big investment like a tractor i too spent many hours researching each brand. Glad you enjoyed the video and found it informative. Thanks for watching and commenting. TCT
I have owned many Kubota tractors, my next tractor will be a Kioti or Yanmar. Kubota is fantastic but way overpriced now. Don’t buy JD period in my opinion. (Kioti makes Bobcat. TYM makes BadBoy and Branson which is now rebadged TYM as well.) LS makes for New Holland and some LS have the Yanmar engine. If price is a main concern TYM if you have a dealer close.
Be nice if they showed prices on their website. I'm leery about companies that aren't transparent with pricing. RK pricing (and customization) is on their website so I can configure the tractor exactly how I want it and know exactly how much I will be paying. I have a Rural King about 15 minutes from my farm, so repairs would be convenient also.
To my knowledge JD, Kubota or Kioti don’t offer internet pricing. I was frustrated trying to get pricing on my tractor as well. But each dealer offers different packages/bundles. You’re smart to chose the dealer that’s close and can offer after sale service and is convenient. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
I have a kioti 2610 I put that tractor and places that you should not put a if you buy Kubota or John Deere they would be broken the kioti is stronger than both of those tractors put together. My kioti ck2610 is still like brand new but it has 1500 I use that tractor I use that tractor everyday.
Steven that’s a great endorsement for the Kioti 2610. With 1500 hrs you definitely use the heck out of your tractor. Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
Some great info for folks Tony. Agree super important to buy from a local dealer and in my view, a well established dealer. With my Kubota, I order any parts today before 2:00 and they are waiting for me at the parts desk tomorrow morning at 8:30 am. Many subscribers have left comments on my channel about waiting weeks or months for parts on lesser established tractor companies. Have a Happy New Year and wish you lots of success for 2023!
GP as we’ve all learned from experience, it’s not always about price. In today’s world service is extremely important. May you be healthy, happy and prosperous in 2023. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Excellent concise communication to inform prospective compact tractor buyers. I’ve been researching tractor options and have watched close to two dozen YT walk around reviews. Yours takes the cake for clarity, worthwhile detail, and dash of humor. Thanks Tony
I really appreciate your kind words. A tractor is a big investment and I want prospective buyers informed of what’s available before they go to the dealer. Like the old saying “knowledge is power “. Appreciate you watching, commenting and supporting my channel. 👍TCT
I wrote in the beginning asking to compare this with the Kubota. Regardless, you could have sold me on it by your explanation alone. GREAT JOD, much thanks.
Happy New Year Tony! That was a fantastic review of your tractor and it’s functions. It was far better than any video I have seen from a dealer or manufacturer. Anyone looking to purchase or upgrade a tractor should see this video.
Tony, your videos are great! I really appreciate how you miss none of the details. I especially appreciate your Kioti videos. They really should send you some commission. Lol! I’m awaiting delivery of my new Kioti CK4020SE HST. I got the third function valve and Tar River grapple for mine, along with the Kioti KB2475L backhoe. I’m very fortunate to have a Kioti 5 paw dealer in my area who loaded the rear tires at no extra charge.
I’m glad you enjoyed the video. You’re gonna love that CK4020 for sure! I would have loved to get the backhoe but couldn’t justify it. Boy was I wrong, I could have used it multiple times. You’re lucky you have a 5 Paw Kioti dealer that close and it sounds like you got a great no-charge addition with them loading your tires. Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
I'm a Kubota fan myself.... But I will say with the way you go into detail and explain features on a tractor.. is by far the best I've ever seen... I actually enjoyed it
Appreciate your kind words. I’m glad you like my video, when making my videos I put myself in the shoes of a first time tractor buyer who has a lot of questions. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Glad you enjoyed the video. I too purchased the Kioti for the lifting capacity. Best part is all the 10 series have lifting capacity of 1835 lbs regardless of the HP you pick. Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
Very good Tony, like yourself, after doing research before buying my kioti, when I went to the dealer I felt like I knew way more about them then the sales guy did. Kioti sure is a good bang for the buck!
Gin I agree, it’s sad that as consumers we know more about the products than the sales person. You’re right Kioti/Bobcat offer a real value on a tractor. Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
Glad you enjoyed the video. I tried to answer questions for the first time tractor buyer or show why Kioti is different than other brands. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Hey Tony, I like the SE. I couldn’t get one in 2020, I did get the CK4010 HST with loader and backhoe. Great machine, added the bucket cutting edge, extra rear hydraulic port, as well as the 3point links like the SE. I plan to add a grapple this year. One thing that you mentioned was adding an angled blade on your loader frame. I have been told in the past that is a bad idea. Angled loads can twist your loader frame, as they are designed to push and lift.
Dave even though you didn’t get the SE, with all the things you added you almost have the SE model. During Covid 2020 I too initially wasn’t able to get the SE model. I lucked out and one showed up at my dealer and I was first on the list and bought it. I wish I would have gotten the backhoe option. Thanks for the warning on the side pressure of the angled blade that surely makes sense. Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
I was extremely skeptical about the new R14 tires but they have proved extremely dependable in all weather conditions. Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
Your experience in sales shined thru with this complete and thorough review of what to look for with a tractor. 👍 Biggest pro would be universal attachment compatibility. Dealers stab customers when they are locked in to using only their attachments. Best wishes for a great new year Tony.👍
Rikki, after visiting multiple tractor dealers and doing my research, Kioti was the clear winner on what you got for your money. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Trading in my 1025r for a brand new kioti ck2620 next week. I cannot wait to get away from john deere! This video was exceptional and informative, thanks tony!!
Nick you’re gonna love the Kioti 2620. Drop me a comment after you’ve had a chance to use it and let me know your thoughts. Thanks for watching and commenting.👍TCT
As someone who is a potential first time tractor owner I found this video the most useful of all I have seen. Most assume you already know the features a tractor offers or what you should look for but for me I have no clue. This has helped me tremendously. Thank you!!
I’m glad you found my video informative. I was a new tractor owner not too far back and wished I could find unbiased information vs a sales pitch. I appreciate your kind words. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
I have a 2021, CK3510SE, open station with backhoe. I bought it right in the middle of the supply chain shortages and couldn’t find any color tractor especially one with a cab at the time. When I did find this one, I could not get any other options or accessories. I found the backhoe about a year later. However, this is my second Kioti tractor and they run well with few problems. My biggest complaint, besides the closest dealer being three hours away, is the difference between obtaining service/repair parts and what they call “whole goods” (options that should have been available on a new tractor, but if your tractor wasn’t equipped at the factory with these options, forget it- like a cab, canopy, backhoe accessories, etc.) With whole goods there is no guarantee you can order them and no guarantee when they will be delivered and you are changed for trucking from the east coast to the west coast where I live and it can get really expensive, really fast. Service parts are readily available from the dealers.
Will thanks for sharing your information. I am fortunate in that my Kioti dealer is 17 miles away. I was not aware of “whole goods”. I know it a tractor didn’t come with some of the accessories or options like the SE model the dealer will try to use a non Kioti alternative (example third function valve). So far I to have been extremely happy with my Kioti tractor. Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
Really excellent and thank you for helping us. I really didn't know about this company, and nearly bought another company's tractor. These seem to be really nice machines, and the tips and experiences you have done such a nice job explaining to us are invaluable. Others have complained about the factory 3 point hitch, and it makes sense to invest in an improved system. Really sensible. Thank you kindly for the time and effort to help the rest of us!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video and found it informative. Regardless of whether you buy A Kioti or and other brand you will be better informed to make a buying decision. Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍TCT
Wow that’s a lot of tractors. In todays market there are a lot of good tractor brands out there. Main question for most people is what are your specific needs for a tractor. Can’t wait to see the new implement on your recent road trip. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Russ, I’ve left my lights on the ROPS since I bought my Kioto and haven’t had a problem but I may change them as well. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
When is your Kioti Sales Video going to be released?? 👍👏🚜 This could really help a salesperson at a Kioti dealership!! Thanks for all the great info Tony 👍 you brought out many points , important points when selecting a tractor (Model). Appreciate all the info 👏 Happy New Year Tony & Family 🎉 Rick
Rick I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I made it because I couldn’t find much info when I was looking to upgrade my tractor. I know some people will appreciate things I pointed out they may have forgotten. As usual I appreciate you watching , commenting and supporting my channel. Happy new year to you and your family.👍TCT
Happy New Year to you and your family!! That's a really nice and quality built tractor. I had a 3032E John Deere but sold it a couple years ago. Now I have a Cat skid loader which I use almost everyday. You can never have enough equipment and attachments lol. Stay safe my friend
Tim I almost bought the JD 3038E before the Kioti but it didn’t have the lifting capacity that the Kioti has. I struggled with the question of Skid steer or tractor? Both have pros and cons. Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
I was going to trade my 20 year old John deere in on another john deere but after months of research and investigation I came to the conclusion that the Kioti tractors were the best tractor for the money. I bought a new ck3510se with a 60 in. brush hog, and I could not be happier. It is a better and stronger tractor than the comparable John Deere and 8,000 dollars cheaper, it even came with dual remote hydraulics and adjustable link ends, it also came with a 66 in. front bucket that will lift more than the John Deere can. Love my new Kioti..........Robert
Robert I’m glad you came to the same conclusion I did about the Kioti. I too was going to buy a JD 3038e but after researching all the brands Kioti came up on top. Was an easy choice to make. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
James, glad you enjoyed the video, I can tell you I’ve owned mine going on two years and know I made the right decision to buy the Kioti CK4010SE. Once you’ve had a chance to use it for a few months let me know your thoughts. Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
@@TonysCoolTools I've had my DK4210SE for 3 days now. I'm loving it so far. Bought it with a bucket, grapple, pallet forks, box blade, and landscape rake. I only put 2 hours on it so far because it's too wet out.
Great video, Tony. You did a terrific job pointing out all the features of your Kioti. Most UA-camrs I watch have orange tractors and I don't hear them complaining about them. We bought a smaller Kubota tractor last year and have no complaints. But if I upgrade, it will definitely be a Kioti CK series. Keep up the good work.
You are right in that there are a lot of Orange tractors on UA-cam channels. They make a good tractor at a fair price. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Ian, I did a lot of research before buying my Kioti and it was frustrating that the sales people couldn’t answer my question. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
I've watched a lot of walk around videos on the Kioti CK line, but I don't remember any of them mentioning the raisable PTO shield as in this video. A raisable PTO shield is a significant advantage when hooking up PTO powered implements.
I totally agree with you. My last tractor had a fixed PTO shield and it definitely was tougher maneuvering the PTO shaft in place. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Thanks Tony. I went with Kioti because of Dealer and Ergonomics. as You know I'm a bit bigger LOL and My DK fits Me well and My Long legs and size 13's Do not play well with the Treadle Pedal. I have the Hydraulic Shuttle Shift. Mike M.
Mike the DK definitely has a bit more floor space and doesn’t have the hump in the middle which is really nice. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
I have a Kioti which is about ten years old. They've fixed a lot of little irritants I have with mine, like the fuel tank. Mine is five gallons and it's on the hood and, I like the double paddles because snow often gets packed under the single paddle. The linked pedal looks very useful.
I totally agree with you about the fuel tank on top of the hood, my New Holland had that and it was a PAIN! I didn’t have that problem with the single pedal but could see it happening. I guess I could go either way sing or double, it’s what you get use to. Glad you enjoyed the video, appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
I mean to tell you, this video is as good as I’ve seen on coverage for a Kioti. Absolutely excellent! I got mine a few months ago with a cab and saw lots of UA-cam videos but this was very well done! Happy New Year & I look forward to seeing more of your videos!!
Appreciate your kind words. I’m sure you’re enjoying your tractor as much as I’m enjoying mine. Happy New Year as well. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Happy New Year Tony! Well, it just gets better and better! Your presentation skills are now excellent! Look out Chris 😊 Looking forward to watching more good stuff this year! Cheers Tony! Len (Devon 🇬🇧)
Thanks Len! Chris, Kenny and I will be having fun in 2023. May you and your family have a safe, healthy and happy New Year. Appreciate you watching, commenting and supporting my channel.👍TCT
Great video Tony Dealer support is a huge factor. I had a John Dear 110 tlb tractor and I would never buy another piece of equipment from that dealership ever again great unit Terrible dealer to work with. Found out a friend ended up taking over a kabota dealership and switched over to a kabota L47 tlb and never been happier and got a heck a a great service team and dealer support from them.
Dana people don’t understand price is not the most important part in buying a tractor. As you pointed out Service is extremely important, especially when your tractor gets older. Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
Christopher, I would do my due diligence and check out several other brands first since this is a big purchase. That way you know what options you like and need to get on your tractor. The Kioti had all the options I was looking for in a tractor and the price was competitive. Thanks for watching and commenting.👍TCT
Great review of your tractor, showed us everything about it. 👍 Saw you on " in the woodyard " with Chris the other day. Funny stuff you are really a good sport playing along especially at the A&W. 😁😎
Chris and I have a lot of fun doing videos together. Glad you enjoyed the video. Stay tuned, you’ll see Chris in a couple upcoming videos. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
Wow now that’s an amazing in-depth knowledgeable review !! I was going back and forward between yanmar , bad boy or kioti . After this not only did I make a decision I also know what extras to put on ALTHOUGH I’m gonna have to fabricate a gard for those side hose connections !! Thank you
Glad you enjoyed the video and found it informative. I was in the same boat you were and didn't find too many in depth videos when I was shopping for a tractor. I like your idea about doing a mod to cover the hoses. Thanks for watching and commenting.👍TCT
Jack I’m glad you enjoyed the video, I tried to pack as much info that the dealers many not mention or let you know. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Nice video. I have a lot of thinking to do but the absolute biggest thing to me is dealer location and capability. Kioti was actually at the top of the list and will stay there after seeing yours. Happy new year buddy.
Yup dealer location is extremely important. There are many good brands out there, it’s all about what your needs are in a tractor. Mine was lifting capacity, Kioti was the best at the time with a lifting capacity of 1835 lbs. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
nice video Tony. Appreciate the walk through. I have never heard of them until recently when i saw it "In The Woodyard". i have a little JD 1026R that works for me most of the time. I've thought about upgrading and this is definitely an option. i really like the 3 pt arrangement. thanks for showing.
Glad you enjoyed the video. The JD 1026 is a real workhorse and extremely popular series for JD. There are a lot of good brands out there now, do a little reserch before you upgrade and compare for both price, options and specs. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
I know this is a year old video but I have an idea. I would remove the rops yellow lights and mount each on magnets. With a quick connect for the wiring, the lights could be stored safety in the garage until needed. I use my Tractor in and around trees. Like someone else said: don't need those turn signals in the woods. Just my 2 cents.
I definitely agree that’s a great idea. I seldom use the lights and having a magnetic base would make sense along with an electronic quick attach/detach. Thanks for watching, commenting and your suggestion.👍TCT
John I’m sure you could share a lot of information on tractors with your experience and knowledge. You’re right, there are so many brands of tractors out there it gets confusing for a first time buyer. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Only problems with my Kioti. A/C went out during our summer heat wave. Took the dealer two visits to fix it because several parts failed at once and they only thought it was a simple fix. Then it broke on a site while brush cutting. Just lost power and wouldn't turn back on. Costed several hundred to get it replaced on site. Third time broke while clearing snow for a client. No steering. Nothing. I would suggest for a $43000 investment you look at a higher end brand. Mines a cabbed cx2510. It's been in the shop several weeks with only 38 hours on it. I hope 2023 is a better year for my tractor. Maybe I will actually make money with it 😂
Lehel I’m sorry to hear you’ve had so many problems with your Kioti. I’m sure it hurts twice as much in that it sounds like you make a living with your equipment. I hope you get it straightened out. Please drop a line if you change brands and let me know what you purchased. Appreciate you watching and commenting.👍TCT
I just purchase a new tractor, a Ck2620 with cab, loader, and box blade on the back. I've never owned a tractor before, and have wanted one badly, for snow removal and general home maintenance for people.
John that sounds like the ultimate snow removal machine. Depending on how much snow you have to move the loader bucket typically can do it. Some people opt for a plow on the front or use the 3pt grading blade for the rear. Another option is a snow blower either front or rear mount. They all work, I’m sure you’re going to enjoy that Kioti. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
I have a Kubota 2004 l2800. I bought a K ioti geartractor 3510 in 2022. My impressions are. It has 3 gear speeds unlike the Kub. which had two. The metal itself is not as thick as the 2004 L 2800. The paint is cheaper or thinner. The loader is different. It works one function at a time. The Kubota could do two functions, raise and tip or raise and curl etc. The safety system on the Kioti is direction and speed both in neutral and parking brake on to get off the tractor and keep it running. The price on the Kioti was VG. The Kubotas are in limited sizes and the prices were much higher. The Kioti takes some getting used to,. They Have LS tractors and TYM tractors here too. TYm I heard negative stuff about from an owner. LS I heard decent reviews from owners.Main use of our tractors are woods stuff, but not deep woods work. Snow plowing. Dirt moving. Grading. Smoothing. Rock moving. We sold many of our attachments because we had no use for them and why have them just sitting around? Most sold at a profit. Wondering if the black bucket might be Titan? It has Skid Steer attach as standard and that is extra on a Kubota.
Thanks for the detailed on your Kubota 2800. I’ll tell you there were things I liked about my 1998 New Holland that the Kioti didn’t have. Naturally things aren’t manufactured as beefy as they were in the past. The hydraulics are different regarding the simultaneous lift and curl function. But with all that being said I really enjoy my Kioti, and for the price I know it’s a value. Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
Hi Toni, we think similar, I bought a 2012 bobcat ct235, it’s a kioti underneath. I looked for the metal fender’s, joy stick location, both steps, quick connect attachments for the purchase. I do like the newer hydra coupling location being up high, mine is under the platform like the 3rd attachment box and has been a snap point in brush. Next purchase should be kioti due to new local dealers, I’ve been burnt having it hauled 40 miles for service. Keep up the good videos! 👏🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Larry Bobcat decided to get ack into the tractor market and as you know is a Kioti with different paint job. As I mentioned service is a very important consideration which many people don’t think of. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Dealer is the most important thing about a big purchase I’ve never seen a Kiote dealer. I’ve seen Deere new holland Kubota and LS I’ve had Deere for years and picked up 0:11 a few Kubotas. Having two Woodyards I have duplicates because there 200 miles apart. Kubota fits into my lineup and dealer support is close. I don’t have a truck and trailer large enough to haul them in if need be. I pay them to pick up. Can’t see spending 100 k on a truck and trailer large enough to haul. They shouldn’t need to go in for years anyway. Peace
William dealer support/service is one of the most important factors when buying a tractor. Kubota was my first choice when starting to look for a tractor. However, after much research the Kioti came up on top for two reasons. Kioti had the highest front loader lift capacity and they hade the best overall price based on all the options. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Thanks for pointing that out. When I was shopping for a tractor I found depending on the brand and dealer certain accessories came with or were additional charge. Doing your homework when buying could save you hundreds if not thousands. Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
Up north those might be standard options, but not here in TX. Last week I test-drove the Kubota L4701 and MX5400 and neither had the bucket level indicator or the block heater. I found out a Kioti dealer is within a half-hour drive as well, so now I'm looking at the Kioti tractors. Test drove the John Deere and they don't have the loader capacity until you go to a tractor with the price too high. Also, the "E" series John Deere such as the 3033E doesn't operate the bucket raise and tilt functions at the same time. So keeping the bucket level as you raise isn't as smooth as the Kubota. I have yet to see how the Kioti does on that.
In my experience you won’t be disappointed. I’ve been extremely happy with mine for the 2+ years I’ve owned mine. Good luck with your purchase! Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Glad you enjoyed the video. It’s always frustrating as consumers chasing information when we want to buy a major piece of equipment. I wanted to give people tons of information prior to the purchase process. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Excellent video there Tony I think uh when I get to buying a tractor I definitely will use that information so thank you very much and have a very blessed new year
Mike I’m glad you found the information informative. I know when I was shopping for a new tractor I didn’t know what questions to ask since there are so many things to consider. Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
Why does George need a Kioti, because he don't own one yet....I been looking at Kioti (ck2610) for a while just not sure if I will have much use for it. I really love this tractor compared to the Kubota l2501 I used for a while on my 8 acres. We dont get much rain so grass is cut maybe a handful of times and that's my main use.
Ha ha I bet if George gets a tractor he’ll find a ton of things to do with it. Remember the old saying “happiness is how much diesel fuel I can burn in my tractor in a day” Thanks for watching and commenting.👍TCT
Glad you enjoyed the video. After doing my research and for the money I felt the Kioti was the best value with the most options I was looking for. Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
Tim my wife tried to talk to me about getting the cab model and I would really appreciate it during the few times I do snow removal but I’m constantly jumping in and out and having a door would slow me down not to mention I’m in the woods a lot and concerened about breaking the glass door which are not cheap. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
I was skeptical at first since they were new in the industry but I’m super impressed with them . They definitely are easier on grass then my ag tires were. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Just came across your channel! Wow you are excellent at explaining things well! I think Kioti should hire you for marketing! I have a 2017 CK2610 and love it. I had no idea that shroud covering the PTO can be lifted. Just put my chipper on today and it would have helped. Now I know. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for your kind words, glad you enjoyed the video. If you like this review check out some of the other ones I’ve done. Like you I really enjoy and use the heck out of my Kioti. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Gerry, glad you enjoyed the video and found it informative. When I was shopping for a tractor I had a lot of questions and couldn’t get a lot of answers even from the “sales people”. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Hey, if you can come up with a horn that sounds like an 18-wheeler with tires all locked up, I will buy it.. it would be great on my parent's Ford C-max and my F250
Jeremiah no need to upgrade old blue if it’s working for you. Main reason I upgrade was I wanted more lifting capacity otherwise my New Holland served me well. Thanks for watching and commenting, 👍TCT
Happy New Year to you and your family Tony. Nice job on this video. We have run a Kubota for a number of years, I had to rebuild the hydrostatic transmission around 1,000Hrs due to an improperly hardened thrust washer that the pump pistons ride against. Unfortunately the tractor was out of warranty that by age not hours on the tractor. I really like the ergonomic features of the Kioti tractors and the pedal arrangement on yours over the rocker pedal, especially when operating the tractor for long periods like mowing. I have been hesitant on getting a new tractor that has regen and def after all the $$$$ problems and inconvenience some of my friends have experienced with newer diesel trucks. I guess time will tell on the small tractors. Smart choice on the removable cutting edge, especially if one uses the buckets cutting edge alot, that is one thing I wish I would have put on my 70hp John Deere bucket. You do a great job of keeping your tractor looking like new.
It definitely sounds like you’re more mechanically inclined them I am. I definitely use my tractor almost on a daily basis but I’m fortunate to keep it in a heated pole barn which makes a huge difference. I agree I wish mine didn’t have the DPF but the only way new tractors come without it is if its less than 25hp and I needed something more powerful. Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
We just shopped Kioti yesterday and we really had a difficult time trying to justify the CK3520 over the CK2620. They both lift the same amount, something we know we’re going to utilize in caring for our horses, snow removal, landscaping and material handling. The dealer actually advised us to consider the potential hassle of emissions and the computer components before making a decision. Now that was very telling, as the dealer is really looking out for the customer long-term! The price point was the other part of the discussion. Paying a little less is getting us more equipped with the loader, 5’ mower, box blade, and bale spear. We were also advised that high altitude can be an issue but the dealer felt that at 7100ft we would NOT have issues with the CK2620. Can anyone on here give us some confirmation of this information? Looking to finalize this purchase this coming week. Thank you.
Very informative as always Tony, thanks. Now I just need a bigger yard to justify buying one of these a-tract-ive toys! Happy New Year to you and your family Tony!
Tony, Think out of the box. It could be a “yard attraction “ and the bucket can suspend your bird feeders. There is always a way to justify a tractor!!!😂 Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Hopefully you can use the info if you’re thinking of buying a tractor regardless of the brand. Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
@@bigjermanprepared3164 Now I’m jealous, would love to have had that attachment. Oh well maybe the next tractor. Let me know your thoughts after you’ve put it through its paces. 👍TCT
Daddy say go as big as you can afford. Horsepower and weight. Of course if you need a small tractor get the biggest that will fit your needs. Nobody ever said this tractor has too much power.
Your Daddy is one smart man, the advise is spot on. Definitely buy the biggest your budget will allow as long as it meets your needs. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Ray, I nearly soiled myself laughing so hard at your comment. I definitely will be using that sales approach with the color White. Both tractors are actually identical, there are several options Kioti keeps for their models only, but I know from my dealer there are work arounds to get those options. I appreciate you watching and commenting. 👍TCT
@@TonysCoolTools my coworker told me she made her husband buy the Bobcat 2025 because white looks better in their yard. My wife went along to look at Bobcat and Kubota. She said she thought the white one was pretty. I immediately stopped and called my coworker. Her husband said, see know you know why I got a Bobcat.
Tony another consideration when trailering a tractor is, your truck. Is your truck strong enough to safely pull all that weight? So many people think there half ton truck is capable of doing it. I’m sure the dealer can inform you what size truck to have.
Dennis you are so right, Surprisingly the dealer didn’t mention a thing especially since most of the time your new tractor is delivered to you which is sold as a no-charge bonus. Many things to take into consideration, not just the tractor. Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍
If your 1/2 ton pick-up truck can't trailer a 3500lb tractor,a 2000lb trailer & 2000lbs of misc equipment = 9500lbs its a 1/4 pickup truck ( very rare) better trade it in or just make 2 trips.
The "Only reason" a half ton pick-up truck can't pull a trailer with this little 3500-4000lb tractor is it must be "badged" as a " Gressy-knen-sin" or a "Tinker Toy-yoggy".
Glad you enjoyed the video. I have the CK4010SE. I needed a bit more PTO power, so I went with the 40HP engine which has 33HP at the PTO. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍TCT
TONY! Kioti just called, they want you to run the company because you know more that all the other people at the company combined! Best video yet!
Ha ha thanks, they have a job for sure but it’s cleaning the toilets . 👍TCT
You should sell Kioti tractors. Very informative and well filmed.
Thanks for your kind words. I try my best to research equipment before I buy and it was tough getting information so I thought other people are having the same problem.
Thanks for watching and commenting. TCT
I am in agreement with most of these comments. I have watched hundreds of these videos, many of which were factory authorized and/or produced. This presentation and presenter were, hands down, the best I’ve seen. I certainly appreciate the effort.
Emilio, I am humble by your kind commitment. When I was shopping for a tractor I couldn’t find very good information so I set out to do my best at educating people on options they should look for.
Thanks again for watching and commenting 👍TCT
I’ve been researching tractors for about 3 years now and you have been the most helpful, thank you
I’m glad you found my video informative. I too had researched tractor for a couple years before I bought my Kioti and unfortunately there wasn’t much detailed info.
Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
I’ve spent over 20+ hours researching Kioti v Kubota. Great informative video. Straight to the facts!!! Thank you sir.
With a big investment like a tractor i too spent many hours researching each brand. Glad you enjoyed the video and found it informative.
Thanks for watching and commenting. TCT
I have owned many Kubota tractors, my next tractor will be a Kioti or Yanmar. Kubota is fantastic but way overpriced now. Don’t buy JD period in my opinion. (Kioti makes Bobcat. TYM makes BadBoy and Branson which is now rebadged TYM as well.) LS makes for New Holland and some LS have the Yanmar engine. If price is a main concern TYM if you have a dealer close.
Be nice if they showed prices on their website. I'm leery about companies that aren't transparent with pricing. RK pricing (and customization) is on their website so I can configure the tractor exactly how I want it and know exactly how much I will be paying. I have a Rural King about 15 minutes from my farm, so repairs would be convenient also.
To my knowledge JD, Kubota or Kioti don’t offer internet pricing. I was frustrated trying to get pricing on my tractor as well. But each dealer offers different packages/bundles. You’re smart to chose the dealer that’s close and can offer after sale service and is convenient.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
This is the 5th vide I have started and by far the most helpful. Thank you
Joshua glad you enjoyed the video and found it informative.
Appreciate you watching and commenting.👍TCT
I have a kioti 2610 I put that tractor and places that you should not put a if you buy Kubota or John Deere they would be broken the kioti is stronger than both of those tractors put together. My kioti ck2610 is still like brand new but it has 1500 I use that tractor I use that tractor everyday.
Steven that’s a great endorsement for the Kioti 2610.
With 1500 hrs you definitely use the heck out of your tractor.
Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
Some great info for folks Tony. Agree super important to buy from a local dealer and in my view, a well established dealer. With my Kubota, I order any parts today before 2:00 and they are waiting for me at the parts desk tomorrow morning at 8:30 am. Many subscribers have left comments on my channel about waiting weeks or months for parts on lesser established tractor companies. Have a Happy New Year and wish you lots of success for 2023!
GP as we’ve all learned from experience, it’s not always about price. In today’s world service is extremely important.
May you be healthy, happy and prosperous in 2023.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Excellent concise communication to inform prospective compact tractor buyers. I’ve been researching tractor options and have watched close to two dozen YT walk around reviews. Yours takes the cake for clarity, worthwhile detail, and dash of humor. Thanks Tony
I really appreciate your kind words. A tractor is a big investment and I want prospective buyers informed of what’s available before they go to the dealer.
Like the old saying “knowledge is power “.
Appreciate you watching, commenting and supporting my channel. 👍TCT
I wrote in the beginning asking to compare this with the Kubota. Regardless, you could have sold me on it by your explanation alone. GREAT JOD, much thanks.
Happy New Year Tony! That was a fantastic review of your tractor and it’s functions. It was far better than any video I have seen from a dealer or manufacturer. Anyone looking to purchase or upgrade a tractor should see this video.
Dick, may you and your family have a healthy, happy and safe new year! 👍TCT
Tony, your videos are great! I really appreciate how you miss none of the details. I especially appreciate your Kioti videos. They really should send you some commission. Lol! I’m awaiting delivery of my new Kioti CK4020SE HST. I got the third function valve and Tar River grapple for mine, along with the Kioti KB2475L backhoe. I’m very fortunate to have a Kioti 5 paw dealer in my area who loaded the rear tires at no extra charge.
I’m glad you enjoyed the video. You’re gonna love that CK4020 for sure! I would have loved to get the backhoe but couldn’t justify it. Boy was I wrong, I could have used it multiple times. You’re lucky you have a 5 Paw Kioti dealer that close and it sounds like you got a great no-charge addition with them loading your tires.
Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
I'm a Kubota fan myself.... But I will say with the way you go into detail and explain features on a tractor.. is by far the best I've ever seen... I actually enjoyed it
Appreciate your kind words. I’m glad you like my video, when making my videos I put myself in the shoes of a first time tractor buyer who has a lot of questions.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Excellent video! I bought the ck3510SE. It is a joy to own. I chose them for the lift capacity and the FEL controller location.
Glad you enjoyed the video. I too purchased the Kioti for the lifting capacity.
Best part is all the 10 series have lifting capacity of 1835 lbs regardless of the HP you pick.
Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
Very good Tony, like yourself, after doing research before buying my kioti, when I went to the dealer I felt like I knew way more about them then the sales guy did. Kioti sure is a good bang for the buck!
Gin I agree, it’s sad that as consumers we know more about the products than the sales person.
You’re right Kioti/Bobcat offer a real value on a tractor.
Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
Hi Tony! Nice overview of the Kioti tractor. It's a nice machine. I need to get some rear remotes on my Kubota.
*Keep on tractoring!*
Researching a Kioti tractor, this video was very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to share your setup and experience!
Glad you enjoyed the video. I tried to answer questions for the first time tractor buyer or show why Kioti is different than other brands.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Hey Tony, I like the SE. I couldn’t get one in 2020, I did get the CK4010 HST with loader and backhoe. Great machine, added the bucket cutting edge, extra rear hydraulic port, as well as the 3point links like the SE. I plan to add a grapple this year. One thing that you mentioned was adding an angled blade on your loader frame. I have been told in the past that is a bad idea. Angled loads can twist your loader frame, as they are designed to push and lift.
Dave even though you didn’t get the SE, with all the things you added you almost have the SE model. During Covid 2020 I too initially wasn’t able to get the SE model. I lucked out and one showed up at my dealer and I was first on the list and bought it. I wish I would have gotten the backhoe option.
Thanks for the warning on the side pressure of the angled blade that surely makes sense.
Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
Lots of information! Glad to hear your thoughts on those R14 tires in snow.
I was extremely skeptical about the new R14 tires but they have proved extremely dependable in all weather conditions.
Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
Your experience in sales shined thru with this complete and thorough review of what to look for with a tractor. 👍
Biggest pro would be universal attachment compatibility. Dealers stab customers when they are locked in to using only their attachments.
Best wishes for a great new year Tony.👍
I agree totally with the universal compatible attachments.
Happy New Years to you as well.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
in the bang for buck category I say KIOTI
Rikki, after visiting multiple tractor dealers and doing my research, Kioti was the clear winner on what you got for your money.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Trading in my 1025r for a brand new kioti ck2620 next week. I cannot wait to get away from john deere! This video was exceptional and informative, thanks tony!!

As someone who is a potential first time tractor owner I found this video the most useful of all I have seen. Most assume you already know the features a tractor offers or what you should look for but for me I have no clue. This has helped me tremendously. Thank you!!
I’m glad you found my video informative. I was a new tractor owner not too far back and wished I could find unbiased information vs a sales pitch. I appreciate your kind words.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
I have a 2021, CK3510SE, open station with backhoe. I bought it right in the middle of the supply chain shortages and couldn’t find any color tractor especially one with a cab at the time. When I did find this one, I could not get any other options or accessories. I found the backhoe about a year later. However, this is my second Kioti tractor and they run well with few problems. My biggest complaint, besides the closest dealer being three hours away, is the difference between obtaining service/repair parts and what they call “whole goods” (options that should have been available on a new tractor, but if your tractor wasn’t equipped at the factory with these options, forget it- like a cab, canopy, backhoe accessories, etc.) With whole goods there is no guarantee you can order them and no guarantee when they will be delivered and you are changed for trucking from the east coast to the west coast where I live and it can get really expensive, really fast. Service parts are readily available from the dealers.
Will thanks for sharing your information. I am fortunate in that my Kioti dealer is 17 miles away. I was not aware of “whole goods”. I know it a tractor didn’t come with some of the accessories or options like the SE model the dealer will try to use a non Kioti alternative (example third function valve). So far I to have been extremely happy with my Kioti tractor.
Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
Really excellent and thank you for helping us. I really didn't know about this company, and nearly bought another company's tractor. These seem to be really nice machines, and the tips and experiences you have done such a nice job explaining to us are invaluable. Others have complained about the factory 3 point hitch, and it makes sense to invest in an improved system. Really sensible. Thank you kindly for the time and effort to help the rest of us!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video and found it informative. Regardless of whether you buy A Kioti or and other brand you will be better informed to make a buying decision.
Thanks for watching and commenting.

Tony, another great video! I have owned 3 Kioti tractors and have been pretty happy with all of them!
Wow that’s a lot of tractors. In todays market there are a lot of good tractor brands out there. Main question for most people is what are your specific needs for a tractor.
Can’t wait to see the new implement on your recent road trip.

Happy New Year to you and your family!! That's a really nice and quality built tractor. I had a 3032E John Deere but sold it a couple years ago. Now I have a Cat skid loader which I use almost everyday. You can never have enough equipment and attachments lol. Stay safe my friend
Tim I almost bought the JD 3038E before the Kioti but it didn’t have the lifting capacity that the Kioti has. I struggled with the question of Skid steer or tractor? Both have pros and cons.
Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
I was going to trade my 20 year old John deere in on another john deere but after months of research and investigation I came to the conclusion that the Kioti tractors were the best tractor for the money. I bought a new ck3510se with a 60 in. brush hog, and I could not be happier. It is a better and stronger tractor than the comparable John Deere and 8,000 dollars cheaper, it even came with dual remote hydraulics and adjustable link ends, it also came with a 66 in. front bucket that will lift more than the John Deere can. Love my new Kioti..........Robert
Robert I’m glad you came to the same conclusion I did about the Kioti. I too was going to buy a JD 3038e but after researching all the brands Kioti came up on top. Was an easy choice to make.

@@TonysCoolTools I've had my DK4210SE for 3 days now. I'm loving it so far. Bought it with a bucket, grapple, pallet forks, box blade, and landscape rake. I only put 2 hours on it so far because it's too wet out.
Great video, Tony. You did a terrific job pointing out all the features of your Kioti. Most UA-camrs I watch have orange tractors and I don't hear them complaining about them. We bought a smaller Kubota tractor last year and have no complaints. But if I upgrade, it will definitely be a Kioti CK series. Keep up the good work.
You are right in that there are a lot of Orange tractors on UA-cam channels. They make a good tractor at a fair price.

Ian, I did a lot of research before buying my Kioti and it was frustrating that the sales people couldn’t answer my question.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
I've watched a lot of walk around videos on the Kioti CK line, but I don't remember any of them mentioning the raisable PTO shield as in this video. A raisable PTO shield is a significant advantage when hooking up PTO powered implements.
I totally agree with you. My last tractor had a fixed PTO shield and it definitely was tougher maneuvering the PTO shaft in place.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Thanks Tony. I went with Kioti because of Dealer and Ergonomics. as You know I'm a bit bigger LOL and My DK fits Me well and My Long legs and size 13's Do not play well with the Treadle Pedal. I have the Hydraulic Shuttle Shift.
Mike M.
Mike the DK definitely has a bit more floor space and doesn’t have the hump in the middle which is really nice.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
I have a Kioti which is about ten years old. They've fixed a lot of little irritants I have with mine, like the fuel tank. Mine is five gallons and it's on the hood and, I like the double paddles because snow often gets packed under the single paddle. The linked pedal looks very useful.
I totally agree with you about the fuel tank on top of the hood, my New Holland had that and it was a PAIN!
I didn’t have that problem with the single pedal but could see it happening. I guess I could go either way sing or double, it’s what you get use to.
Glad you enjoyed the video, appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT

Great video Tony Dealer support is a huge factor. I had a John Dear 110 tlb tractor and I would never buy another piece of equipment from that dealership ever again great unit Terrible dealer to work with. Found out a friend ended up taking over a kabota dealership and switched over to a kabota L47 tlb and never been happier and got a heck a a great service team and dealer support from them.
Dana people don’t understand price is not the most important part in buying a tractor. As you pointed out Service is extremely important, especially when your tractor gets older.
Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
Looking into getting my first tractor and really like what I see on the Kioti tractors. Great review of tractor and options. Thanks.
Christopher, I would do my due diligence and check out several other brands first since this is a big purchase.
That way you know what options you like and need to get on your tractor. The Kioti had all the options I was looking for in a tractor and the price was competitive.

Nice video. I have a lot of thinking to do but the absolute biggest thing to me is dealer location and capability. Kioti was actually at the top of the list and will stay there after seeing yours. Happy new year buddy.
Yup dealer location is extremely important. There are many good brands out there, it’s all about what your needs are in a tractor.
Mine was lifting capacity, Kioti was the best at the time with a lifting capacity of 1835 lbs.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
nice video Tony. Appreciate the walk through. I have never heard of them until recently when i saw it "In The Woodyard". i have a little JD 1026R that works for me most of the time. I've thought about upgrading and this is definitely an option. i really like the 3 pt arrangement. thanks for showing.
Glad you enjoyed the video. The JD 1026 is a real workhorse and extremely popular series for JD. There are a lot of good brands out there now, do a little reserch before you upgrade and compare for both price, options and specs.

The Branson brand doesn't exist any more, but parts are still available. We have three Kioti dealers in a 20 mile radius. All are very knowledgeable.
Sad to say tractor brands come and go. You are extremely fortunate to have 3 Kioti dealers that close.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
I know this is a year old video but I have an idea. I would remove the rops yellow lights and mount each on magnets. With a quick connect for the wiring, the lights could be stored safety in the garage until needed. I use my Tractor in and around trees. Like someone else said: don't need those turn signals in the woods. Just my 2 cents.
I definitely agree that’s a great idea. I seldom use the lights and having a magnetic base would make sense along with an electronic quick attach/detach.
Thanks for watching, commenting and your suggestion.👍TCT

You’re right, there are so many brands of tractors out there it gets confusing for a first time buyer.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Only problems with my Kioti. A/C went out during our summer heat wave. Took the dealer two visits to fix it because several parts failed at once and they only thought it was a simple fix. Then it broke on a site while brush cutting. Just lost power and wouldn't turn back on. Costed several hundred to get it replaced on site. Third time broke while clearing snow for a client. No steering. Nothing. I would suggest for a $43000 investment you look at a higher end brand. Mines a cabbed cx2510. It's been in the shop several weeks with only 38 hours on it. I hope 2023 is a better year for my tractor. Maybe I will actually make money with it 😂
Lehel I’m sorry to hear you’ve had so many problems with your Kioti. I’m sure it hurts twice as much in that it sounds like you make a living with your equipment. I hope you get it straightened out. Please drop a line if you change brands and let me know what you purchased.
Appreciate you watching and commenting.👍TCT
I just purchase a new tractor, a Ck2620 with cab, loader, and box blade on the back. I've never owned a tractor before, and have wanted one badly, for snow removal and general home maintenance for people.
John that sounds like the ultimate snow removal machine. Depending on how much snow you have to move the loader bucket typically can do it.
Some people opt for a plow on the front or use the 3pt grading blade for the rear.
Another option is a snow blower either front or rear mount.
They all work, I’m sure you’re going to enjoy that Kioti.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
@@TonysCoolTools , Thank you.
I have a Kubota 2004 l2800. I bought a K ioti geartractor 3510 in 2022. My impressions are. It has 3 gear speeds unlike the Kub. which had two. The metal itself is not as thick as the 2004 L 2800. The paint is cheaper or thinner. The loader is different. It works one function at a time. The Kubota could do two functions, raise and tip or raise and curl etc. The safety system on the Kioti is direction and speed both in neutral and parking brake on to get off the tractor and keep it running. The price on the Kioti was VG. The Kubotas are in limited sizes and the prices were much higher. The Kioti takes some getting used to,. They Have LS tractors and TYM tractors here too. TYm I heard negative stuff about from an owner. LS I heard decent reviews from owners.Main use of our tractors are woods stuff, but not deep woods work. Snow plowing. Dirt moving. Grading. Smoothing. Rock moving. We sold many of our attachments because we had no use for them and why have them just sitting around? Most sold at a profit. Wondering if the black bucket might be Titan? It has Skid Steer attach as standard and that is extra on a Kubota.
Thanks for the detailed on your Kubota 2800. I’ll tell you there were things I liked about my 1998 New Holland that the Kioti didn’t have. Naturally things aren’t manufactured as beefy as they were in the past. The hydraulics are different regarding the simultaneous lift and curl function.
But with all that being said I really enjoy my Kioti, and for the price I know it’s a value.
Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
Hi Toni, we think similar, I bought a 2012 bobcat ct235, it’s a kioti underneath. I looked for the metal fender’s, joy stick location, both steps, quick connect attachments for the purchase. I do like the newer hydra coupling location being up high, mine is under the platform like the 3rd attachment box and has been a snap point in brush. Next purchase should be kioti due to new local dealers, I’ve been burnt having it hauled 40 miles for service. Keep up the good videos! 👏🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Larry Bobcat decided to get ack into the tractor market and as you know is a Kioti with different paint job. As I mentioned service is a very important consideration which many people don’t think of.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Dealer is the most important thing about a big purchase I’ve never seen a Kiote dealer. I’ve seen Deere new holland Kubota and LS I’ve had Deere for years and picked up 0:11 a few Kubotas. Having two Woodyards I have duplicates because there 200 miles apart. Kubota fits into my lineup and dealer support is close. I don’t have a truck and trailer large enough to haul them in if need be. I pay them to pick up. Can’t see spending 100 k on a truck and trailer large enough to haul. They shouldn’t need to go in for years anyway. Peace
William dealer support/service is one of the most important factors when buying a tractor. Kubota was my first choice when starting to look for a tractor. However, after much research the Kioti came up on top for two reasons. Kioti had the highest front loader lift capacity and they hade the best overall price based on all the options.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
That is not a tank heater. it is a block heater.... And that comes stock with Kubota along with the level indicator
Thanks for pointing that out.
When I was shopping for a tractor I found depending on the brand and dealer certain accessories came with or were additional charge.
Doing your homework when buying could save you hundreds if not thousands.
Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
Up north those might be standard options, but not here in TX. Last week I test-drove the Kubota L4701 and MX5400 and neither had the bucket level indicator or the block heater. I found out a Kioti dealer is within a half-hour drive as well, so now I'm looking at the Kioti tractors. Test drove the John Deere and they don't have the loader capacity until you go to a tractor with the price too high. Also, the "E" series John Deere such as the 3033E doesn't operate the bucket raise and tilt functions at the same time. So keeping the bucket level as you raise isn't as smooth as the Kubota. I have yet to see how the Kioti does on that.
Thanks for this info. Exactly the tractor I’m looking at.
In my experience you won’t be disappointed. I’ve been extremely happy with mine for the 2+ years I’ve owned mine. Good luck with your purchase!

Why does George need a Kioti, because he don't own one yet....I been looking at Kioti (ck2610) for a while just not sure if I will have much use for it. I really love this tractor compared to the Kubota l2501 I used for a while on my 8 acres. We dont get much rain so grass is cut maybe a handful of times and that's my main use.
Ha ha I bet if George gets a tractor he’ll find a ton of things to do with it.
Remember the old saying “happiness is how much diesel fuel I can burn in my tractor in a day”
Thanks for watching and commenting.👍TCT
That's a super nice tractor. Good Video
Glad you enjoyed the video. After doing my research and for the money I felt the Kioti was the best value with the most options I was looking for.

Thanks, Tony. Great information, articulate, and very concise. A "libation" holder? You cracked me up! 😂

I have a Kioti CK2610. Love it 👍👍
I agree the frame size of the CK 26, 35 and 40 series is identical and for me is the perfect size.
Keep on burning diesel 👍TCT
Thanks Tony for a GREAT REVIEW! I’m considering an RX cab model. Tim in northern TN
Tim my wife tried to talk to me about getting the cab model and I would really appreciate it during the few times I do snow removal but I’m constantly jumping in and out and having a door would slow me down not to mention I’m in the woods a lot and concerened about breaking the glass door which are not cheap.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Love them tires no issues on the grass
I was skeptical at first since they were new in the industry but I’m super impressed with them .
They definitely are easier on grass then my ag tires were.

@TonysCoolTools my kid has a skid steer with tracks I ended up finishing the job because he was destroying the yard
Good job, thank you.

@@TonysCoolTools Thanks Tony👊🏻
Awesome video! I have the ck3510se for almost 2 years now. I absolutely love it. I did a 1 year review video on it. Really enjoyed the video.
Glad you enjoyed the video. I just subbed to your channel, looks like you’re having fun with your Kioti.
Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
Just came across your channel! Wow you are excellent at explaining things well! I think Kioti should hire you for marketing! I have a 2017 CK2610 and love it. I had no idea that shroud covering the PTO can be lifted. Just put my chipper on today and it would have helped. Now I know. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for your kind words, glad you enjoyed the video.
If you like this review check out some of the other ones I’ve done.
Like you I really enjoy and use the heck out of my Kioti.

Super video Tony thanks you very much it helped me a lot.
Gerry, glad you enjoyed the video and found it informative.
When I was shopping for a tractor I had a lot of questions and couldn’t get a lot of answers even from the “sales people”.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Happy New Year , Great video on the Kioti , thanks for sharing.
Scott glad you enjoyed the video.
Happy New Year to you as well.

Hey, if you can come up with a horn that sounds like an 18-wheeler with tires all locked up, I will buy it.. it would be great on my parent's Ford C-max and my F250
ha ha Daniel, I’m sure someone sells a horn that sounds like that.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Very well done.
If not the best reviewer , easily in the top three.
Am glad you decided to do you tube videos.
Congratulations
Jean thanks for your kind words. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Appreciate you watching, commenting and supporting my channel. 👍TCT
Great walk around Tony! Someday I will upgrade old blue👍👍
Jeremiah no need to upgrade old blue if it’s working for you. Main reason I upgrade was I wanted more lifting capacity otherwise my New Holland served me well.
Thanks for watching and commenting, 👍TCT
Happy New Year to you and your family Tony. Nice job on this video. We have run a Kubota for a number of years, I had to rebuild the hydrostatic transmission around 1,000Hrs due to an improperly hardened thrust washer that the pump pistons ride against. Unfortunately the tractor was out of warranty that by age not hours on the tractor. I really like the ergonomic features of the Kioti tractors and the pedal arrangement on yours over the rocker pedal, especially when operating the tractor for long periods like mowing. I have been hesitant on getting a new tractor that has regen and def after all the $$$$ problems and inconvenience some of my friends have experienced with newer diesel trucks. I guess time will tell on the small tractors. Smart choice on the removable cutting edge, especially if one uses the buckets cutting edge alot, that is one thing I wish I would have put on my 70hp John Deere bucket. You do a great job of keeping your tractor looking like new.
It definitely sounds like you’re more mechanically inclined them I am. I definitely use my tractor almost on a daily basis but I’m fortunate to keep it in a heated pole barn which makes a huge difference. I agree I wish mine didn’t have the DPF but the only way new tractors come without it is if its less than 25hp and I needed something more powerful.

We just shopped Kioti yesterday and we really had a difficult time trying to justify the CK3520 over the CK2620. They both lift the same amount, something we know we’re going to utilize in caring for our horses, snow removal, landscaping and material handling. The dealer actually advised us to consider the potential hassle of emissions and the computer components before making a decision. Now that was very telling, as the dealer is really looking out for the customer long-term! The price point was the other part of the discussion. Paying a little less is getting us more equipped with the loader, 5’ mower, box blade, and bale spear. We were also advised that high altitude can be an issue but the dealer felt that at 7100ft we would NOT have issues with the CK2620. Can anyone on here give us some confirmation of this information? Looking to finalize this purchase this coming week. Thank you.
Very informative as always Tony, thanks. Now I just need a bigger yard to justify buying one of these a-tract-ive toys! Happy New Year to you and your family Tony!
Tony, Think out of the box. It could be a “yard attraction “ and the bucket can suspend your bird feeders.
There is always a way to justify a tractor!!!😂
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Awesome video, very good !
I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Hopefully you can use the info if you’re thinking of buying a tractor regardless of the brand.
Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
@Tonys Cool Tools I'm getting a kioti ck2610 next week. I can't wait!
With a backhoe 😆
@@bigjermanprepared3164 Now I’m jealous, would love to have had that attachment. Oh well maybe the next tractor.
Let me know your thoughts after you’ve put it through its paces. 👍TCT
Happy New year! Nice informative video!
Hi Harry, Happy New Years o you as well.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
reminds me of the bobcat model with the valve for the 3 point
Ken ironically todays Bobcat tractor is nothing more than a Kioti painted White with fewer features.
Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
Daddy say go as big as you can afford. Horsepower and weight. Of course if you need a small tractor get the biggest that will fit your needs. Nobody ever said this tractor has too much power.
Your Daddy is one smart man, the advise is spot on.
Definitely buy the biggest your budget will allow as long as it meets your needs.

Jim I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
Unfortunately you got the transmission part wrong. It’s a regular manual shift and not the shuttle. I wish they offered a shuttle shift option!

I bought a Bobcat 39hp (CT2040) aka a white Kioti. Women dig the white it was an easy sell.
Ray, I nearly soiled myself laughing so hard at your comment. I definitely will be using that sales approach with the color White.
Both tractors are actually identical, there are several options Kioti keeps for their models only, but I know from my dealer there are work arounds to get those options.
I appreciate you watching and commenting.
👍TCT
@@TonysCoolTools my coworker told me she made her husband buy the Bobcat 2025 because white looks better in their yard. My wife went along to look at Bobcat and Kubota. She said she thought the white one was pretty. I immediately stopped and called my coworker. Her husband said, see know you know why I got a Bobcat.
Tony another consideration when trailering a tractor is, your truck. Is your truck strong enough to safely pull all that weight? So many people think there half ton truck is capable of doing it. I’m sure the dealer can inform you what size truck to have.
Dennis you are so right, Surprisingly the dealer didn’t mention a thing especially since most of the time your new tractor is delivered to you which is sold as a
no-charge bonus.
Many things to take into consideration, not just the tractor.
Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍
If your 1/2 ton pick-up truck can't trailer a 3500lb tractor,a 2000lb trailer & 2000lbs of misc equipment = 9500lbs its a 1/4 pickup truck ( very rare) better trade it in or just make 2 trips.
The "Only reason" a half ton pick-up truck can't pull a trailer with this little 3500-4000lb tractor is it must be "badged" as a " Gressy-knen-sin" or a "Tinker Toy-yoggy".
Great video Tony! Very informative. Happy New Year to you and your family. Have a great day, stay safe and may God bless…
Donald glad you enjoyed the video.
Happy New Year to you as well.

Thank you for sharing!! What is your tractor model?
Glad you enjoyed the video. I have the CK4010SE. I needed a bit more PTO power, so I went with the 40HP engine which has 33HP at the PTO.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍TCT
