Our new Kioti CK2610 - Why we bought this over a Kubota... 

Nice to see another fellow Kioti owner. Welcome to the pack!

I bought a Kioti RX 6620 about 9mos ago...I looked at New Holland , LS, Mahindra, Kubota, and Yanmar.( I already own a small Yanmar.) My 1st test drive was a NH 60 hp workmaster. I couldn't believe how disappointed I was with it. HUGE turning radius, very clumsy controls, clutch, ergonomics, etc. The Kubota dealer didn't seem very interested in doing business, no follow-up, had heard about Mahindra emission problems that lead to engine failure and no warranty support. Had heard great things about Kioti from Multi-line tractor dealers and Kioti owner RU-vid videos. So I just had to decide which model. Started looking at CK and DK models 50-60 hp. Then test drove a RX 7320 at the dealership that I ultimately bought my 66 from. Man! What a joy to operate! Ergonomic, intuitive, powerful, comfortable. So after several months of test drives and studying the specs. I got the RX 6620 Cab. I absolutely love it! It is a BEAST! Loaded with features, some that Kubota doesn't even offer, like a rear 3 point control for hooking up implements so you don't have to climb up and down on the tractor. And it was about 10k less expensive than Kubota! The only issue is the rear end gets light with a lot of weight on the loader...common problem...so I added 800lbs of wheel weights... helped a bunch but I'm planning on making a 3 point mounted balast weight for when I don't have an implement on back for tight space maneuvering. Bottom line...I would encourage any tractor buyer to at least look at a Kioti before buying anything else! I think you've made a wise choice and welcome to the PACK!

You're going to love your tractor,I have a 5310 HST what a great tractor. Good luck young Man! Butch Ashland Ohio

Good video, I have a CK10 also, the clutch is for the PTO only (and starting). To help with smooth shifting, just engage the hydro stat by pressing the forward or back peddle then release, you may need to try a couple of times, but it will shift smoothly without effort. If it's hard to shift don't force it, just try the above again, it just takes a split second to do. I hope this helps.

I live in southwest In. and bought one five years ago and I have the same problems with my, But I won't get rid of it because I really like it and it has done more than I expected.

Apollo is already planning our trip out there so he can drive the tractor around, haha.

Tap you direction pedal and it will go easy same with 4 wheel drive. You can adjust your seat by turning the knob

thanks for sharing the video, congratulations with your new tractor, nice looking tractor

I’m in the middle of the purchase process for the CK2610 hst. For your shifting between H/M/L. Lightly press the forward or backward pedal then try shifting. That’s what my dealer told me. The clutch is only for the PTO

A good dealer is the most important part of the decision, not necessarily the brand.

The gear shifting issue is related to the hydrostatic trans. Tap the forward or reverse slight to change gears.

Nice tractor! I bought it's twin, a Bobcat CT2025. I gotta recommend you consider getting some pallet forks. They'll change your life. I use them ten times more than the bucket. Also, if you'll be using the loader for more than 400 lbs, you're going to want/need some rear ballast. You can get two birds stoned at once and get whatever attachment that'll work as ballast as well. Good luck!

Nice unit 👍

I got the insurance on my tractor (another brand), and I think it is well worth the price. Thanks for your insight.

Good video! 👍🏼

I bought a kioti nx4510 because my kubota dealer didn’t want to give me the time of day and it’s been the best thing that has happened. I love my nx4510.

I literally was going to buy a Kubota for somewhere in the ballpark of $45,000. I had great credit. It would of been a slam dunk buy, but the salesman failed on his part. He never followed thru with his side of the deal. Basically blew me and never called me back to finish the sale. Seen the salesman at a sporting good place and his jaw hit the ground when he seen. He tried to get me to come back into kubota and finish the sale. He was totally embarrassed and started making up excuses after excuses for not calling me back. His loss and Kubota lost out on $45,000 and possibly future business from me. I refuse to go back to that Kubota dealership.

Ty information al. Get dealer to adjust linkage on shifter 😳👴🏆🚜🐕😎

I am with you on the price of the Kubota. I didn't even go to the dealer. I looked at bobcat and when I found out that they were just white painted Kioti tractors, it seemed a little like buying off of color. The bobcat had a backhoe that was a little heavier duty than the Kioti brand but I went with the Kioti because in Colorado I found a dealer that had a pretty good deal. I got implements and the tractor with the bucket for a decent price. It just was a no brainer. The insurance was a must for me as we have too many damn thieves out there. I have been very happy with my Kioti. I am like you that I will be using the heck out of my tractor for about a year and then maybe it will sit a bit and I can just mow or work someone's property a little but the option there is to sell it. With how hard it is to just get a decent tractor the resale seems pretty good. They make an insert for the cup holder to hold the larger insulated cups....look on amazon. Look at the aftermarket canopy....it is a game changer.

It's funny you mention Kubota...funny meaning sad, I had the EXACT same experience 2 years ago. Was actually leaning toward the orange ready to get the final "convincing" I needed to sign a deal, dealership here couldn't be bothered to discuss a thing. Crawled all over the model on the lot, not a single rep engaged. Tried to find someone and it seemed as though I was more a bother than a customer....went green based almost entirely on the great customer experience. Kioti was a close consideration, almost non existent in my area though.

Push the directional pedal just before you select your range and it'll slide right into gear so in a pretty quick sequence push the clutch in hit the Ford directional pedal and while you're still holding the clutch in but only around one second or less after you let off the directional pedal select your range low medium or high and it will slide in no problem

Thank you for talking about buying and Finance. I see you own a Chevy truck. I have always been a Ford pickup buyer. My last two pickups were FORDS three quarter ton. I had the same experience you did going to Ford Dealership. I had a Ford truck. The guy would NOT even test drive my 2000 for trade in value. He said I would have to put money down to be on the wait list, even for low mileage 2021 and newer pickups. I said "WTF" no way. I had already gone to Dodge Liked the Cummins engine. That Dealership TEST drove my Ford NO requirements to buy, he found Low mileage Dodge Cummins he would bring in for me. I went to the local Chevy dealership, and fell in Love with the used low mileage 2021 1 Ton- Z-71 Silverado Duramax Allison 4 door 8 foot bed. Must have an 8 foot bed. My 2000 power plant was the V-10 Gas engine. Terrible fuel economy, but great hauler for my boat. The Chevy salesman talked more about his fishing trips, and no pressure to buy, spent as much time as we needed talking about everything (GM) had to offer. He let us take the truck for driving as much as we wanted. Gave us better Trade in value for my 2000 Ford. As soon as I started driving the 1 Ton with the driver's seat being fully automatic adjustment. Loved the comfort, felt like my wife's parents CADDY. I have taken it in soft Ocean sandy beaches, just powers through the soft sand. I have taken it up on the mountain pass in state with unplowed side roads to my brother-in-law at the ski area The snow was up to the frame of the truck, it just powered though in 4 × 4 LOW. Like you said about experience with sales staff. I changed my life long Ford buying to GM because Dealership just did NOT seem to care about me when I went in. My wife had a Ford (Flex) after the warranty expired the service at Ford Dealership just seemed to NOT care anymore. I have always bought a Ford vehicle. This Silverado 1 Ton is my dream pickup. I love driving her.

Push the hydro pedals for a moment to help shifting the LMH (meshes the gears)

I had a KIOTI CK30 for 5yrs, No issues at all, very heavy tractor. I needed a larger tractor and was going to buy another one but dealer went out of business so I sold it and bought green since I have a dealer 10 miles away. The next real dealership is out of state and if I did have a issue didn't want to travel 10hrs+ to bring it in.

Bro, youre like my twin right now. Everything you said I am doing for the same reasons.

I own the ck3510 with the same front loader and both tractor with ballast of course will out lift same size kubota John Deere and new holland and tym

On a shifter that’s sticky pull it toward the gear you want until it stops with the clutch in, once’s it stops dont jerk it or force it but hold tension and ease off the clutch it will align the gears and go right in. Jerking it will result in broken parts eventually

Hi when you do get a third function kit installed get a grapple it makes life a lot easier.also check out Tractor innovations they are located in Eugene Oregon and they make a good set up for a diverter valve kit that way if you run a tiller plow which I recommend get the hydraulic top link that they sale as well you can run the third function plus the tiller plow . sincerely Jason from Georgia

Hard shifting…slightly nudge forward or reverse pedal and shifter will drop into gear

Better than John deer

I used a l2501 for about 20 hours but can't find a CK to try out on the property. I wanted a DK but maybe a loaded ck2610 will be enough for my 7.5 acres.

I have the same tractor and love it too. Have you already turned up the fuel pressure or considered it? From what I have been researching the motor in this is capable of producing the 35hp of its bigger brother, but they had to cut it down to 26hp to be below the thresholds of a diesel motor requiring emissions crap. Any thoughts? Thanks

Based on how tractor prices are increasing, you can probably use it three years and get 85% of your purchase price back. Monthly payments are cheaper than renting a tractor, if you need a tractor on a regular basis.

Yanmar is about the best you can get. I'm going to have to go a hour out of my way to get a Yanmar, but to me it's not a problem!!

kubota typically is over priced... I bought a kioti ck3510SE this summer and love it so far after about 100 hrs

Why we bought this over Kubota? PRICE...

Generally speaking, Tractor dealers and tractor sellers are the most untrustworthy people 😀

I did the same…Kioti dealer excellent Kubota not so….

Kubota L2501 is better, 100 cubic in engine, beast of a machine, gear drive is the way to go, and KTAC insurance is the best in the industry.

You should have went to another Kubota dealership...

No offense but I do not know anyone including myself who has worn out an ankle from operating the Kubota forward/reverse single pedal. I have been using my B2100 since 1998 and neither the pedal nor my ankle have given out. I my opinion the dual pedal is barely okay as an alternative to the shuttle because in a panic an operator can press the wrong one and instead of reversing that person ends up running into an object or if lucky pressing both and nothing happens, the latter is the best possible outcome. The other part of the 2 pedal is the lack of fine control to position the tractor ...with the Kubota shuttle the operator can position that tractor within a 1/2 inch of any spot desired ..on flat ground ,up or down hill. Kiotis are nice tractors and if I was in the market to buy a new tractor I would consider them but for two things, they have a horrible website as opposed to Kubota , and in my neck of the woods the nearest dealer is 60 mile away versus 2 Kubota dealers 18 and 22 miles respectively...parts for Kubota are pricey ...but they make them available for the first to the most recent tractors they make. Tractors are a big money investment , Kubota hold their resale value for all the right reasons. By the way, nice tractor 👍..have fun 😄
