This is just me talking about my thoughts on this Kioti CX2510 Compact Tractor. There is so much I didn't talk about in this video and will try to get a more detailed review on this tractor when I can.
I have a CX2510 cab. Handy little machines. The AC is a godsend when 100 outside with 100% humidity. First HST tractor Way batter when working with loader. Like the review. Good old owner just telling it like you see it A third function with grapple is well worth it. I use it constantly
Funny you mention a cab, the dealer got a couple new cx2510's in right after I bought mine and they had cabs and they were so nice! Great for when you have blowing winds moving snow too. I definitely would like a third function. A grapple would be a gamechanger.
Love them Kiotis. I'm on my second one. 2013 I got my first one then it was a cs2410 with a backhoe I just broke the front loader and December this year and to the dealer and it was gonna cost a lot to fix it So I bought a CX-2510 with a cab in a backhoe. Move the lot of snow with it and stayed warm and dry. Only have 40 hours on it most of that was moving snow. Good luck with yours
Have one. Rear tires need to be loaded AND sometimes add balast for heaviest loads. The thing is so stout for its size, you MUST keep it low and slow if turning or moving on anything but level ground. Very capable machine!
My dad and i are picking our new CX2510 up on the weekend, that black box is a very good thing to know about and the maintenance of all the pins and bolts is good to know, thanks alot eh!
Awesome! They are handy to have around. I would call your dealer and ask if they know about the defective part and ask if they have it in stock, that way if you have it fail on you, they don't have to order it and have it backordered for weeks or months while being unable to move your machine. Grease those pins like crazy! Congrats on the new unit!
Another thing to keep in mind when the rear tires are lifting up is that all the weight of the loader and the weight of the tractor are now being supported by the front axle and tires.
@golgothagarage absolutely, and I ran it that way for a long time without realizing that. I have some videos on my ballast box you should watch. Made a huge difference and I can't believe I put that stress on my front axle for so long
@@skywatcherranchswr not sure. Could be the smaller cylinder rams. I can only lift around 700 lbs on front and maybe 1000 lbs at three point. Yes, it’s larger but has much more plastic and probably weighs less than your Kioti. I’m not disappointed but definitely wish I would’ve went with something with a mid pto.
@TxGuitarPlayer I wish when I bought the kioti that I could have included some more attachments in the financing deal. I miss out on a lot of opportunities to use it because I don't have many attachments. Had someone ask me if they could pay me to brush hog a few acres, and I don't have a mower of any kind for it, lol
@@skywatcherranchswr I hear ya. We don’t have snow here in SE Texas often, so mower attachments are a necessity here. I think you have a great machine. Thanks for sharing the video and information
Great vid, I’ve been watching a lot of vids on the Kioti’s and in the market for a compact tractor. Right now I am in between the Mahindra 1100 series and the Kioti 2510. I want to primarily use this as a snow removal tractor for my driveway and property and then use the tractor on my hunting property…clearing trails and pushing brush around. After watching your vid I think I’m sold on the 2510. I know what to look out for, limits of the machine and to grease it before every use haha…just picking. Thanks for doing this vid, I hope to make some in the future too.
@BarryPeck24 that's excellent! Prior to posting youtube videos I mainly moved snow with this tractor and it's a total beast. Cleared 5ft drifts from the cornfield. Snow is far less dense than dirt so it's amazing how much it actually moves. I never got much of a chance to look at Mahindra units as the nearest dealer is very far from me. The kioti dealership only being 20 miles away will come out and fix any warranty issues if they arise. Great service. If you do buy one, see if you can work a 3rd function kit into the sale, in will come in handy at your hunting property if you want a grapple for trees and brush. I have quite a few videos on this machine, I try to use my financial investment to help others out without signing the papers. Overall I'm happy with it!
@@skywatcherranchswr Im glad you said that I will ask about it if I go with the 2510. im also considering the CS2520 which is the next size smaller than this 2510. I am thinking of going that route of tractor, with a front end blower and soft cab, and then keep the bucket/loader in the garage if theres room. I guess for me it comes down to price and payment, in your vid you stated that you purchased this one for 15,800 I think...well you are correct about the price now its 19k for the CX2510 now... you timed it perfectly. Anyways im still going to do more research, price comparison and what not and then make my choice. again great vid with a lot of info. hope to message you back with an update on which one I went with.
@@skywatcherranchswr hey could you tell me the height in inches of the CX2510 with the ROPS down? I can’t find it online when I look it up. I’m worried the CX2510 I’m buying won’t fit through my garage door
@BarryPeck24 I can't measure it right now but I know it's no taller than 6ft. My garage door was only 7ft and when I put the rops down it fit through no problem. I will measure when I get a chance though
Thank for an honest review of these tractors by the way the Bob cat tractors are a kioti painted white. I’ve been looking at them for a while trying to decide whether or not if I want to buy one or not, still haven’t decided on it yet.
That is concerning about the bucket pins getting sloppy. When you did your 50hr. Service was the hydraulic filters hard to get off? Mines comming up on the Service time. Thanks.
If you use an auger on the back of this tractor Be very slow about lowering it down as you dig a hole!!!! Go down about a 1/4 way of the auger then stop going down and bring it back up. If you get the auger stuck you can nudge it back and forward and with the raise up it will usually free up the auger. If not you will have to disconnect the auger and turn the auger backwards using a big pipe wrench.
I have the manual model. It's awesome for it's size. The backhoe is very impressive. Got on a friends john deer and it beat my balls up. My Kioti came standard with a air ride seat which is a ball and butt saver. Iv'e pulled some very big stumps sweet gum up and out of their holes using the backhoe. This smaller tractor doesn't have to regen like the bigger tractors.
South Korean manufacturing is excellent. I would be completely confident it would match anywhere in the world for quality including the quality of materials used. I'm thinking about this exact same tractor too.
so if you leave that CX on a large farm for a few years you will come back and find a NX? (goldfish story) lol. nice video. one thing you will learn like all of us. you will always want a larger tractor! ps the cx is perfect for the yard you have. if you get a few acres you will wanr CK at the smallest. id go DK> this addiction effects most tractor owners! lol
Man's giving very good advice about buying an electric grease gun. Mine will use an entire tube of grease if i have my grapple on and the backhoe. 60 something grease fittings! Please, grease every fitting before using your tractor. I only have 125hrs on my backhoe and my main cylinder has bleed down already.
I would Greece the loader every time I would use it specially in heavy use Greece is cheap and if you are to buy an attachment I would buy a tiller if you do dirt work what's the loader kill the ground first a lot easier on your loader
My back tires are ballast and I run mine with the backhoe. So when im using the loader I have no issue at all with the back tires coming off the ground. I have gone in for a full load of wet dirt and it not lift it.
Nice review. I was looking at the CK but I’m really thinking about the CX cause I like being smaller and able make tight turns. I wonder if they’re gonna update it soon like the CK and DKs
I am struggling with the idea that you find a pressure relief valve in the hydraulics "a little weird" and that you can't over stress the loader to the point of failure. You've got that exactly backward. A properly designed and correctly functioning hydraulic system, in ANY machine (even older skid steers) will self-limit.
They just have a pressure bypass valve all machines do. You can probable put shims or change the spring in the bypass valve to increase it a little. Are rear tires loaded?
I should have got a Kubota. My Cx2510 ran for 5 hours. The dealer picked it up but before he did the forward pedal went to the floor and the tractor barely made it to the garage. Then the lever for the 3point fell off. Never found it. The dealer said it was a bad weld. Purchased Dec. 22 2023 and still at the shop. I wonder what else will fail when the grass gets longer? IMO at this point it's a POS.
A "Working Man" can NOT have Enough Tractors "laying around". Sounds like only 3.1 hours per month of use ,is kind of "expensive" per every month of payments. Have you READ & Throughly Understood the OPERATOR'S MANUALS for HOURS or do "Go fer IT". The salesmen's "run-through" & U-tube instuction vidios ONLY offer about 5% of what IS IN the OPERATOR'S MANUALS. As far as my "Track-Tor's" go ; l SPEND WAYMORE MONEY on GREASE than Fuel. I see that you "Fell for" the "Quicky-hitcheys SCHEME " also;; mine are gone or laying in the "scrap-heap". Sounds like some "lock-tite" & auxiliary lock washers WILL BE in your future Repitour. Thank you Sir for the Excelent vidio and happy safe tractoring. Best wishes with all your endeavours.
A tractor is one of the most useful pieces of machinery you can own if you have any amount of acreage. Especially seeing as people are spending 30k+ on a UTV to ride on trails I’d say this isn’t a bad purchase in the long run. Everything mechanical/motorized will need maintenance/repairs at some point. Go to your local John Deere, Kubota, New Holland etc. and look through the garage door windows and let me know what you see.
