Great video, I just ordered my first tractor. CK2620SE and was worried it wouldn't be enough. Your test showed me how capable these things are. Love it!
One tip...when you have a large log like the one at 3:20 in the video, after grabbing it with the grapple, set the grapple on the ground and "roll it back"...then open the grapple and the log will roll closer to the tractor...then close the grapple again. With the log closer to the tractor, it will be easier to pick up and also make the tractor more stable because of better leverage. I have done this many times.
These Kioti's are really great machines. Have the big brother CK3520 with the factory backhoe, which is fantastic ballast. I also have a large grapple and have picked up 3 or so 10-12 foot 15-18 inch diameter pine logs at one time, and have also picked up the entire rear of our Dodge Ram Hemi truck. NIce job, and love the fun you're having, Amigo! Keep it up and enjoy and be safe.
I am not much for tractors David but you video is getting great views so lots of people must be liking your new toy! P.S. Your tractor looks very fancy, going back out to my shovel now :)
Well, Sir Mr David you have delightfully demonstrated how to pick up HEAVY things using a small tractor. Not only doing the heavy-duty lifting safely----You used the "rear compound leverage" technique. By doing so you have "Saved" your front AXLE!!!! The loaders ( power)on the kioti's CK 2610--4010 & TYM-RK37 are really too powerful for the front axle. The "top open" bevel-gear spindles are Week! As ALL other similarly classed machines. The tapered vertical spindle shaft crushes the top bearing & "special internal-bearing-seal" (Very Expensive part) every time!! The tell-tale sign is the start leaking within a measly 250 hrs of use--- typical use in 2 to 2 1/2 years. I have seen this many times & haved fixed this PROBLEM more times on "capacity-reved-up-tortured" New & just out of warrenty rigs. Your fine demo should only be used once a year at best. The by-pass hydraulic valveing is the only safty "green-horns" usually go by!! Not to only mention rough & uneven ground limiting factors. The front loader really compounds front axle weight leverage. Just a Great vidio "how-to" demonstration!! Also liked your belt attire- never know when you will need that "wrench". Happy safe Tractoring Mr David. Thanks for the vidio.
Why thank you kindly and thanks for watching I'm glad you pointed out the front axle and me not destroying it because I actually never thought about that due to my inexperience so thanks again 👍
Hey Dave!! New subscriber….I’ll be taking delivery of my new CX 2510 in May. I may not get to all of your automotive stuff, unless it’s GMC Sierra or Ford Escape stuff, but the tractor/gardening/wood processing stuff, all on my playing field!! You’re environment looks similar to ours as well, I’m in NH. Liked the Kioti lift test! I spent a couple of years researching and in the end, Kioti was the best choice! You seem thrilled with yours!!😁
Hey Keith! Welcome aboard and thanks for subscribing! I definitely enjoy my tractor. Not a regrettable purchase AT ALL. I am excited to hear that you have a similar purchase coming soon. I hope yours works out as well as mine has. I look forward to hearing about your adventures on your new tractor! My knowledge is limited because I am a new tractor owner but drop me a message if you have any questions and I'll do my best to help you out!
@@motivatedbydesigns no problem Dave….this will be my first as well! Hard to believe for the life I’ve led that I’ve never owned anything larger than a lawn tractor. But at 62 and creeping up on 63, it’s time to leverage technology!!🤣 Thanks for the greeting….I hope to binge a bit on your other videos tonight! 👊🏻🇺🇸
you'll get used to having that extra weight on the rear and you'll want to leave it on there all the time. Are your rear tires loaded? (if you mentioned it, I missed it)
The tires are not load yet as money becomes more available I will be doing it. Definitely leaving that log hole just for the weight it's been awesome!!
Hello friends, Pastor Fred here. Just found you today, like your video, will watch more. Just curios, what part of the country are you in? Keep it up!!
Hey Mr C, thanks for watching and commenting 😎 I don't remember the exact weight but I think they were around 500 or 600 pounds...I think my next video after this one I did weigh them if you want to check it out 😎👍
Well, considering its size, the big final bust log could possibly weigh slightly over one ton, which is consistent with Kioti's advertised max loader lifting capacity of about 1830 lbs.
Thanks for watching and commenting. I did post a video on the rough weight of the logs if you care to check it out and I will say that was a good guess!! The video is called... Introducing the S10s and why I had to move them. Then weighing logs with the Kioti tractor.
@@robs8882 I don't remember but I think it is 1835lbs at 59" or 60" height. I think that spec is at the pins or close to it. Not on the bucket cutting edge. I have a kioti 2610 and it easily enough picks up 1300 lbs round bales of hay and my set of forks weigh 195 lbs alone. I don't think they exaggerated the lifting capacity because I have filled tires and I can pick the back end up off the ground without trying. When having heavy loads at the far end of the forks then it gets even more tippy. The 2610 is a very good value for money. I was used to John Deere before I got my kioti 2610. Now this is the smallest tractor I ever owned because the one I sold before buying the kioti had around 80 hp. But I would buy it again over a John Deere. I don't know about Kubota but I imagine it's better value than the Kubota tractors. Kubota has some pretty dumb designs in my opinion. Saw one Kubota and the oil filter is sticking out in the perfect place to get punctured. The forward and reverse control pedals are really nice on the kioti balso. Most comfortable I Kubota. He has bought every Kubota brand new. His last one was around a 100 hp i think. Was back to the shop in unser 50 hours. Plus the cab is noisy.
Kioti's have, by far, the greatest hydraulic flow, greatest lift capacity front and rear, and greatest horse power to the PTO of any other compact tractor on the market, hands down.
You can read specks all day real life experience shows. I read specks I traded for Branson it wouldn't work with Mahindra the way I work one. Now have another Mahindra wanted a kioti the dealer around here was ass hole. But don't make no difference as long as a person is happy with what they got.
@@mikerequa820 I agree, enjoy what you have as long as it gets the job done. I recall a time when I didn't own a tractor and I would have taken anything lol. Thanks for commenting
Hey Ben, It is a HLA. If you head to my channel. my video for my year anniversary for the tractor I talk about my implements and the grapple is in there for the Specs and specifics. Thanks for watching and commenting 😎
@@davidtenley5993 I had my dealer take a look at mine and he said it was fine and if it were to break I do believe its covered under the warranty that I paid for
I have the same tractor and love it. I bought it with the backhoe and added a Michigan Iron Works hydraulic thumb. It is a work horse. My only complaint is the hydrostatic drive eats up a lot of the engine power. It sounds like your rear remote hydraulic lever might be engaged. In the center position it won't put pressure to the rear remote.
Thanks for watching and commenting I don't have any hydraulic in the rear just the pto and the 3 point lift . Unfortunately I couldn't afford to get the backhoe arm.
@@motivatedbydesigns Thank you for the videos! I financed the backhoe with it when I bought it because I knew I would want it and coming up with $7500 in the future wasn't going to happen.
You get a thumbs up from me just because you are carrying a pistol. Nice.

Dang the Kioti handled that weight just fine!
It really did .. thanks for watching and commenting 😎

You need to learn to roll the bucket back.

Haha... fair enough and I do agree that my tractor videos get a lot of views
With a set of forks instead of a grapple it would of picked it I got one and i own my own sawmill business I love that tractor
Higher rpm's full throttle the hydraulics will work harder also

This comment makes me think the lower lift weight of the kubota might be better for longevity concerns.

Hahah... what's up Prepper101 thanks for watching and commenting 😎
Where did you get your Carry All PTO attachment and how much was it? Thanks!
I got my carry all from tractor supply. I think it was around 300 hundred bucks but I don't really remember. I Hope that helps
Hello friends, Pastor Fred here. Just found you today, like your video, will watch more. Just curios, what part of the country are you in? Keep it up!!
Hey Pastor Fred, I live in NJ
I'm getting itchy just watching all that poison ivy on those logs.
Haha 🤣 thanks for watching and commenting
Nice tractor does good job of liftin. Thanks for sharing be safe have fun
Hey Mike, thanks for taking the time to watch and commenting
According to the log calculator that 23 ft log weighs 1377 lbs.
Awesome I have to Google this log calculator
I don't know what kind of tree that is but your tractor is a kioti and that is what really matters! Nice video
Hey, Gravy train I agree haha Thanks for watching and commenting 😎
Love watching actual log lifting testing the limits. What were the weights?
Hey Mr C, thanks for watching and commenting 😎 I don't remember the exact weight but I think they were around 500 or 600 pounds...I think my next video after this one I did weigh them if you want to check it out 😎👍
Why the gun? You get wild animals there? I live in Australia and guns are outlawed for the common man. Sucks!
We have bear, coyotes, and Fox on the property
Ah okay. I'd be armed too!
Why the gun? Because, merica! 😄
Just posted a video on my channel about it if you want to check it out
Because we can, unlike you aussies who have given up nearly every right you once had.

hmm, I could only see 1,200 as the capacity to full height. maybe I had the wrong model ck2610.
