KIOTI CK series...PROS and CONS 

I took a paint pen an painted my bucket indicator rod bright yellow. That helps a bit, especially in bad weather.

the jerky top link comes in handy clearing a box blade.

Cab has way more pros than cons. In climates with extreme temperatures and weather, the heater or AC is amazing in a cab. I use my Kioti CK27 to snowblow in the winter in Wyoming and its been great. It's the perfect size to keep a 500' driveway clear and fit in the barn to clear out the stalls as well as the garden to till. This thing is so useful and an excellent value.

Very good review and like your shop with the welding Equipment

Nice 🏆 great presentation 👍 👏 👴🚜🐕😎

Just purchased ours 5 weeks ago w/out cab to clean up 10 or so heavily wooded acres of mountain land. Had the rear tires loaded and ride is considerably smoother and gives me that extra weight. Love it so far and the quick attach is a nice feature as is the backhoe drive off/on frame. Thanks for the video and will follow

love your channel love your tractor most of all love your beer assistant! I gots to get me one of them

If the cup holder is the biggest flaw you have a good tractor. I flipped 3 tractors in my life, now I have a no alcohol rule. The only thing I would change is put independent brakes on the left side.

Still enjoying my tractor taks a while to get to know it

I have the same model. I don't cut brush. For my needs, clearing timber, snow removal, general property maintenance, this tractor is perfect. We have a great dealer here in N. Idaho. Jordan's tractors sales and service. Highly recommended.

Good job on video. Looks like there's lots of pro with the beer lady. 😉

Absolutely love my 2610

Just found your channel….nice videos….I will be purchasing aCK4010SEHST Cab in the next few weeks, and you have given me some great ideas…..keep up the good work!!

This is awesome 👍 I watch and enjoy your video's. Can't wait to see the upgraded lights and blue tooth radio selection. I'm going this week to see the dealers in my area about this exact tractor.

I live in northeast Iowa. We do not have any Kioti dealers near me. Other than on you tube, I have never seen one of these tractors. I like what I see about these tractors. I ended up going with a Kubota. I have been very happy with the Kubota. I feel I would be happy with just about any tractor these days. Good review Kyle. the only thing that I don't like about my Kubota is that it doesn't come with a Keystone girl. Thank God I already had one before I bought the tractor. that could have been a deal breaker.

Thanks for the vid. On the lift arms jerking while raising...not normal. the only times I've experienced that is when the hyd fluid was low. Either low or there is a restriction between the pump and the arms? Don't let the dealer blow it of as "huh, never seen that before" Make them fix it before you are out of warranty. 🤠👍🍻

Nice 1 year review on your CK. I have the 3510 with Cab. Overall very satisfied with mine after 1 year. I agree with your critique points. I have noticed the fogging problem in mine. I have run it with AC on to 'dry out' the air in the cab with success. I'll try changing my vent positions to see if better results. Like you, I had an open station JD and took some adjustment to the cab reducing my visibility. Now I am familiar and have learned how to position the bucket and attach points and where to look. Not a big deal anymore and the cab is simply awesome to have if you live in 4 seasons. Make sure you keep your radiator and screens clean. I was brush hogging one day and they got caked over and my AC couldn't keep the cab cool. After cleaning them out AC returned to normal. The cab work lights are poor (35w halogen) and I just ordered LEDs units to replace. I've come to really appreciate all the standard capabilities and features the Kioti comes with compared to JD. Also, the specs are that much better. The 3E and R series Deeres can only lift 1100-1300. Kioti CK's are good for 1800. 3 pt lift better. Kioti is heavier than JD. I don't understand why JD doesn't at least match these specs by now. I really liked my previous JD but when time to upgrade to a cab the JD was at a minimum $10K more and many options like rear remotes not included. Just can't justify. Thanks again for review. I'll put one of my own up eventually and show what I have done with it. Happy New Year!

Just found you channel, you got some cool shit, proud of you.

Love my 3510. Had an open station Blue tractor that was fantastic. Felt a lot more stable than cab tractor . Until I got 2.5 wheel spacers. I Never thought it would have made that much of a difference. But it does. Third function remote was a must also. Great review and point on .

I put 3 inch spacers in the back tires from Bora-Bora wheel spacers it rides so much better I have a back blade for mine why doesn't jerk you bring it up same TractorI have a back blade for mine why doesn't jerk you bring it up same Tractor My dealer where I live in Canada trying to get a shop manual for a year couldn't even get a hat or jacket

On the bucket level indicator, cut the end of the pipe at an angle so you can see the rod before it gets to the end of the pipe.

If you put your A/C on and then turn the temperature to desired comfort level , windows don’t tend to fog up.

Very happy with my 2610 i bought 2 yrs ago

Great video , I own two Kioti's NX6010 HST and a CS2210 HST . Heavy built tractors and price is right .

The jerky 3 pt hitch is due to the type of valve they use. It's either on or off. That's your "problem. " it's on every Kioti.

I added ballast to my rear tires and that improved the ride considerably

Cut the outer tube at an angle so as the inner rod comes up to level you can see it (v notch)

Cut the outer leveling tube at a 45 degree angle

Good Video I am thinking of up grading from a CS series to a CK just for the cab feature

Appreciate your comments on cab noise being minimal. Is it fair to say you can comfortably talk on the phone and or listen to radio while running the tractor?

Great Vid! Well edited and produced! I've been considering a CK35 HST Cab, do you ever wish you went to the 35 or do you still feel the 26 has plenty of power? Thanks!

What type of mower are you running out back and what is the width of that mower? Thanking you in advanced!

Great job on the videos, just found and subscribed to your channel. I know it’s in a couple videos could you do a little bit more indepth on inside the cab with noise etc at working rpm? It seems quieter than a JD 1025 cab I’ve been in. Thanks👍. Really looking at the Kioti line.

bucket level indicator .... do not cut the rod just mark it with a piece of tape

Turn your ac on and it won’t fog up.

Quality

I couldn’t agree more about the visibility. I had a open station ck2510 and it was a lot easier to see when doing loader work, but I wouldn’t give up the cab now. I’ve been looking for a way to upgrade the cup holder as well, I look forward to seeing what you do. What are you using to plow snow? I just put a 78’’ HLA snow blade on mine and it’s awesome. Next upgrade I need is loaded tires.

Hope you have better luck with yours than I do with mine

I have my own complaints with kioti but the fuel tank and size I actually like. The DK is on the side and they had issues with splitting and being damaged when brush hogging. I put 3 light bars on my kioti 2610. Kioti also includes the steering in gpm hydraulic flow, it's really 60% of advertised. And yeah the 3 point is Jerky, I had to fine tune mine w lever under seat. I also have an open station which I like and stand up to hook up to forks and grapple

How tall is that garage door?

Depends which JD you get when it comes to the 3 speed hydro. My JD 3039R has a 3 speed hydro. I believe most of the economy series has just a 2 speed. Good luck in the Kioti. I considered one but the dealer network here in southern Indiana is really lacking. (1 in my area and it's 1 1/2 hr drive.

I have a ck2610 with 270hrs it's a little under powered for mowing my grass and stability was really bad till I put 6in wheel spacers on. Yes the tires are filled with fluid. I do love the lift capacity of the front end loader. I use the tractor for cleaning up tree jobs I do. Been thinking about a stump grinder and chipper for it.

Hi, I know this video is a little older, but I was also experiencing a jerking/chattering problem with my 3 point hitch on a 2017 CK2610 that ive had since new. Just this year I figured out it was the way I was lifting the hitch. For whatever reason, if I just take the 3 point lever selector and move it directly to the spot I want, it does not jerk at all. If you want it all the way up, just pull the lever all the way to that position. It's almost like it has pre-designed spots in the height range selection. Try it out, let me know if it works for you.

You should have mentioned linked pedal.. 👍

Enjoyed your video, very informative, so would you rather have a open station, or a cab, if you really had to make a choice. Thanks

How tall of a garage door do you need to be able to pull that into your shop? Thanks

I used to plow snow with an open station Farmall C. I bought this one because I wanted a cab with heat. I don't care about A/C, I only use it in winter. Re: fuel capacity How many hours does it take you to brush hog the 7 acre field? I get 12 hours out of a tank (7 US gal.) with a 2012 CK27hst plowing snow. I used to get only ten then I did some exhaust work to it. Now I get 12. Mine is chained up on all 4 corners. I run 20 lbs air in the loaded rears and 35 lbs in the front. My ride is brutal thanks to the chains. I think your rears are too hard.

All cab tractors fog up. Turn your ac on and have your temp setting to hot. You get the heat and it pulls the humidity out.

Great video ! Have a question - Have a 2020 CK35SEHST - with 205 hours of trouble free problems - Great tractor - But the DK5310HST Cab cam in yesterday that I put on order a year ago... Still going back and forth if I want to make the deal as in I love my 3510 open station and not sure if I'll love the cab the same - Have 16 acres in NC. Ok question --- I have a hydraulic Top link such as you on my open station - favorite add on - When hooking up implements and adjusting the top link on my open station, I can reach across the top and feather it in and out as needed--- How do you adjust your top link when hooking up implements with the cab ? Obviously having 2 people its a no brainer but , often times my wifes doing other chores .... am I missing a simple solution as Ive never owned a Cab tractor. thanks for any input.

I like the kioti tractors I’m thinking about getting one. There is video out there on RU-vid about the tree point doing the same thing. The guy got rid of the tractor but I think it got fixed I can’t remember what the fix was try and find it on RU-vid. Good luck and tractor looks nice.

Just run the fan and not the heat thru the heater( turn the water off to the heater)it will not fog up

What size engine?

I use to run heavy equipment and the windows fogging up was always a problem but to solve your problem of fogged up windows run the air conditioner with the heat on problem solved

good review i have just received a nx6020 which i am still getting familiar with was really looking forward to the rear lift control but in australia kioti told me they are not avalible because of safety regulations would you mind sending some pics so i can make something up as they also wont sell me the part

i see your your tractor has a Ronson sticker on it where you from i just bought one from Ronson in Lowell indiana

What was the criteria as to why you went with hydrostatic versus gears? I’m debating.

seems like air in the 3 point?

I love my ck2610hst too. Great video. Better if you were mic'd

Check your hydraulic fluid level......and cup holders are for your empties 😂

is that a std height garage door?

How much does the cab add to the price?

What is the height of the cab on the CK?

Did your dealer understand that you’d use the tractor for mowing a 7 acre field? What worries me about the 1000-3000 series JD tractors is their all too small for their HP. All brands have these issues. The old Ford Red Belly Tractors had this issue. The N series tractors ranged from 20 -30hp. After the 600-800 series started the HP jumped but the weight did change that much. Many an old time farmer will tell you horror stories about operating them.

Can the cab be purchased after already owning this tractor.

Jerky 3 point hitch ? Precise loading ?

Any leak down on the loader ?

Brother, you lost me at keystone.

My Ck3510SE is junk. Most horrible purchase I have ever made.

Terrible audio

You don't know squat about tractors.
