Buy the tractor for $2000 less, add $7000 to get it up to par.
Have to modify everything because Kioti doesnt have very good parts buying options.
Seems to me that ANY other brand is a better choice. Unless you like to fab your own parts for everything. but in that case, might as well buy an old used tractor for $5000
Love my dk40 hst. A beast of a loader. Strongest tractor made! They never should’ve stopped the original dk line.
Have had my Kioti DK 45 standard shift, open station for 9 years. It has 2900 hrs and has been a workhorse. Front loader, backhoe, bush hog and carry-all are my main implements. I work the machine hard, but keep regular maintenance schedule. I hated the self-leveling aspect of the loader and found a way to remove it. At this point I'm on the original tires (though the fronts will need replacing this year) and JUST replaced the original battery! Only problems were ones caused by me pushing the limits. Also have a 2410 hst for smaller projects and getting around in my orchards. Every tractor has good and bad, but I love my Kioti's and would do it again.
I'm very lucky to own the last tier 3 DK tractor my local dealer sold. A DK45se. The DKs have been legendary. With proper care it will last forever.
Thanks for letting me do this video with you, Hank. It was super fun, and I'm glad you're letting some orange love on your channel!
Yes sir. You have a nice Tractor 👍 I appreciate you letting me video it.
Well done sir! I enjoyed a full watch! I like the cupholder. Overbuilt is underrated! You've got your machine pretty well equipped! Thanks to you and Hank for this honest review.
@@FromSteelToWood thanks Joe. Glad you liked it cheers👍
Where did you get those adjusters on 3 point
Great video! What wood chipper did you get and do you like it?
Your Presentation of your 4010 KIOTI is the Best I've seen and understand so well. Thanks dirt loads he he . God Bless and this Vedio made my mind up for me ! I'm buying a 35 or 4010.
Thanks for watching 👍 we appreciate the comment
I have a CK4010 with 220 hours with a similar setup. Great piece of equipment, no issues and my dealer has been exceptional to work with.
Thanks for watching 👍
Just ordered my CK4010 today, got it with the loader bucket, backhoe, box blade, 4000lb forks, grapple bucket / 3rd function and brush hog - cannot wait to have it delivered and put it to work.
Congrats man👍happy for you.
You just got ripped off
I have had a CK3510 for 6 months.. And boy do I love the unit..... I look at 5 different brands of tractors and even went back and forth looking at Bobcats... Kioti make a great unit. Just need more deals in the Midwest.
Awesome. It's always good to hear from owners!
The Bobcats are actually rebadged Kioti/Daedong tractors. I think you made a great choice! That is the one MAJOR drawback to Kioti is the dealer network. As I said in the video I drove 3.5 hours to the closest dealer at the time to buy the tractor. Now there are a couple dealers about 1.5 hours away, but in places I never go, so the convenience of them is still low. If they had more dealers, they would be as big as the big guys (Kubota, Deere, Mahindra, New Holland) in my opinion.
One thing i like about Kioti, is they offer a lot more options that come standard when buying. I don't own one but i like them.👍👍👍
Yeah they do. I like them too.
That they do. Most all of the things I pointed out and added to mine are standard on the "SE" series of tractors, which were not available when I bought mine in 2016. Essentially mine is a bootleg SE, made from scratch. But you can't beat the features, quality, and price point, for sure.
I have a 2020 ck3510 and I just added light bars. I loved that they added a hot splice for lights off the right blinker harness as well as hot wires off the headlights under tge hood.
It made adding lights a breeze
I love all the 3 point upgrades. I could use all of those and probably will upgrade. Definitely looks a lot easier to switch and adjust implements than my standard economy 3 pt. Thanks for posting!
Yeah Adam, makes it nicer for sure.
Thanks! They definitely make it easier to switch up implements and adjust my landscape rake. And I think they are pretty economical to add for the most part.
I have a 2017 CK3510 and love it. I added a third function hydraulic like you did, a light bar (front and back facing), a flashing strobe (I do road work on my camp road), hooks on the bucket, a small fire extinguisher, an ammo box to carry tools and chains and a backup camera with 4" display. Also, added a factory mirror (a must have). Love my tractor, Kioti is well built and they covered a crack in my backhoe subframe even after it was out of warranty. Great tractor.
That's a great idea about the fire extinguisher. 👍 Good to hear about your tractor and dealer!
Great review. I just ordered a Kioti DK4520 even though the dealer is 250 miles away! The local tractor dealer sells Bobcats which I understand are nearly identical, but I really wanted a Kioti and not a rebranded machine...
Great review y’all love all the extra’s you know I’m Kabota very close dealership to me . Also the Kabota Insurance is outstanding hands down the best . 250$ deductible
Thanks for watching Y'all👍
Yeah I'm looking at older non computerized models and pre-Tier 4 smog crap
Thank you for doing this video and to Brandell for taking the time to do a walk around!!
Yeah man, enjoyed it. Glad you liked it 👍
Bought the 4020 ten hours so far an it's awesome tons of power an build like a tank
I have a ck-40 with a non turbo four cylinder. I really appreciate the features and reliability. It starts in the coldest weather we have had since purchase and the loader moves tons of snow every year. Had no mechanical issues with it; don't know any thing about the turbo engine.
Thanks for watching 👍
Do you plug yours in ?
@Patriot-pq1ku never had to our diesel provider blends winter grade diesel when the temp drops
One comment , being down south you will not run into a problem with cold . If you have a skid steer hyd coupler , they do not work in cold weather . When hooking up you need to use a tiger torch to heat the couplers , then run into trouble caused by burning the o-rings . Lots of people will put a at coupler Hooked back to back with a bobcat coupler , then just plug the adapter in for winter use
Dont forget the light bar and the shift of the hazard lights from the roll over bars to the finders.
I have had a CK30 for 13 years, no complaints at all.
That's cool. Good to hear from long term owners👍
How does the paint hold up as they age ?
One of my biggest peeves with Kabota their oxidized paint
I've had my dk45hst for 11yrs! Great tractor!
Just bought my second Kioti. The first one was a lk2554 which I've worked for almost 25 years. Only changed 1 water pump in that time so it was a no-brainer to upgrade to ck3510. Plan to run both because they are just that good. Can't recommend Kioti tractors enough.
Nice
Hamiltonville Farm - Your buddy did an excellent review
Thank you kindly
Skipped over the light bar! But I do like that setup. Trying to track down a way to get some lights on the ROPS on my 3510SE
Try the Kioti facebook group. They have a good group over there.
Great review. He does everything heavy duty! Especially loved the cup holder.
Thanks buddy
Thanks! I try not to skimp on details, and I think heavier is better.
I have a Kioti CK30. Mine is 4 yrs old and never had a lick of trouble with it. That green paint is expensive compared to Kioti. It is heavy built and all metal tractor. The main thing is to perform scheduled maintenance.
That's true. They are nice machines 👍 have a good day.
That's one heck of a cup holder! LOL
Lol. I know right. He does high quality builds 👍
My only complaint is how expensive parts are and that Kioti forces us to take it to a dealer for work. For instance the injectors are 600+ dollars each (parts only) and they can easily need to be replaced due to dirt or bad gas. The injectors also need to be programed in to the computer which only a dealer can do. Same with the CEL, only the dealer can reset it which ours charge 100 dollars to use the scanner on your tractor. I think that is where they make the 6k price difference from.
I like the upgrades and going by the color it has to be a good one. The Kubota parts are a plus also. Both of y'all have a good one 👍
Thanks much. You do the same👍
Awesome tractor review and great to meet the owner as well .. You should do a series on tractors and their owners which would be a great story I think
That's an excellent idea!
Very well done video. I don't think I heard you mention the long standard warranty period, but that also got my attention.
Cool, thanks
The Kioti looks like a nice tractor! Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Same to you John. Take care buddy
Here in s my 2 1/2 year review of my 2019 CK 3510.
First off, love the tractor, it is my 2nd Kioti, first was a LB1914. I had that for 10 years before being able to afford a larger model.
Truth....
The company does not have their shit together.
Parts system is super jacked up, every dealer I have went to for parts complains (5 dealers) that looking up parts is a nightmare.
Individual parts are almost always included in a group, have to buy the whole kit, not individually.
The seat (ugh) cheap and fall apart quick. I keep the tractor under roof for storage, but when using it for the day and not in the seat, it is vulnerable to the sun (cracks). Average replacement cost per pad (not frame) is $250 for bottom pad and $250 for backrest.
Oh, and good luck getting parts the past year (and currently (2021)).
CK3510 does not have a seat cut off switch, but does have a wire that goes bad and causes key to turn it on to fail. Factory trained mechanics took weeks to figure out.
I have had enough and will be buying a 50-60hp Massey Ferguson or New Holland in about 4 months when I can get parts to fix and sell this Kioti.
I live about 100 miles from their NC plant.
Thanks for watching
Hey Hank & Brandel such a GREAT review. With 3 years of use & 100hrs the ck4010 is just a puppy. My " other orange" tractor is just OK, a mx5200 manual shuttle tlb. Looking for a smaller rig like yours, but in comparison the other " orange" tractor falls on it's face in 95% of the time in all categories. But just really like the Massey-Ferguson 1825e ( because l have a 1736 power shuttle: a little bigger & Pure luxury). This kioti ck4010 rig might be the perfect "one-only" tractor to have. I just like 3 or 4 tractors laying around!! Keep all them fantastic vidios comming Mr. Hank.
Thanks!
Late to the party, but really enjoyed the video! I have a CK3510SE and really want to add the levelers, added the hydraulic top link, worth every cent paid for it, $250. Did not understand the reference to "whole goods kit" as compared to "parts" price difference for the levelers? Not knocking the CK, but by the time you add the accessories, the CK has got to be close in price to the SE?
That guy was pretty good he did some nice modifications to that machine
Thanks 👍
Damn Good interview on that tractor...Thanks.
Thanks for watching 👍
Some people say not to buy kioti , some people say best tractor ever, I don’t know who to believe, I think I’m just gonna get a massy Ferguson
I been thinkin of getting a 30 to 40 hp tractor and wanted to see what you would recommended. Some of the options I would like are 4x4, Front loader and HST. I have 8 acres to take care of and my old tractor just keeps breaking down.
Trying to decide between a kioti and Branson 25hp tractor. Branson dealer seems to be better costumer support but I’ve had my heart set in a ck25 or 35 horse power.
I'd go Kioti now because Branson got bought out. But if you have a TYM dealer near you, check them out.
I enjoyed the walk around Hank. Thanks to Brandell too.
Thanks Ronnie. Good to hear from you 👍
@@HamiltonvilleFarm Yeah man!
What a great video! Brad certainly knows his Kioti in and out! Great presentation guys.
Thanks y'all. That means a lot coming from you guys👍
@@HamiltonvilleFarm keep up the videos! you guys are growing fast! Love the content. If your ever in our neck of the woods let me know :)
I guess one reason I'm looking at older model Kubotas/New Hollands or whatnot is the lack of a computer. I really want to be able to work on my own tractor and anything modern computerized just makes me quiver at the cost of time and dealer charged to diagnose a computerized tractor.
Yeah I hear ya. That's something to consider for sure
I totally understand. I'm a bit different, since I am a diesel mechanic by trade. I would have to buy the diagnostic software, but I feel super comfortable with the dpf, electronic, and computer diag stuff. But it is definitely not a simple diy issue, either!
Exactly why I bought my Kubota L275. Was looking at the L2501 but seen a great deal... love the sound of the kubota engine!
@@Gwalker0220 I hear ya. I'm looking for a bit larger machine in the 40hp range.. lots of em around...
@@HiddenValleyHomestead I'm in Alaska and tractors go alot higher and there few and far between... I got the l275 for six grand with a back blade and 900 hours... Which is a steal up here... I've only got about five acres and don't need much bigger... Mainly just pushing over trees and clearing land... Its a 27hp but seems more powerful...
Sounds like a great Tractor
It is John. Thanks for watching 👍
Wish I had a closer dealer up here its green or orange $$$ I'm screed
Great video, I love how you take the time to explain things in a simple easy to understand way. You did not mention the light bar setup or what is up with all the hitch pins on the ROPS, can you explain those items?
Thank you for the kind words 👍
Like we said, too many features. The light bars are just 24" single row LED light from northern tools. I use the itch pins to hang stuff, either on the pin end (adjustable or box wrenches, tie, downs, etc) or the handle end (caribeeners for all sorts of things like hanging keys or gloves).
I just bought a 2610. So far I like it. I have only put 7 hrs on it so far. I like that the front end loader will lift over 1800lb to 8 ft high.
Cool deal👍 they are powerful!
@@HamiltonvilleFarm yep. I got the 66 in grapple and picked up things that I needed counter weight to hold tractor on ground.
@@crazyfarmer2564 👍 yes sir
@@crazyfarmer2564 I normally have a counterweight on the back when using the grapple (~600lbs), and my rear tires are filled with water (~460lbs). You can find used ballast boxes cheap (paid $50 for mine) or make one (lots of concrete barrel builds online). I have been really impressed with this tractor and the bigger grapple, especially with good ballast.
@@brandellfleming3225 I've got plenty of attachments for the back for weight. Just seeing what the tractor will do without anything. I bought this tractor to mow grass and clean out the neighbor's barn. And if it will do anything else.
Very well Enjoy your Video so far I have a 25 acre farm Starting out with a B2650 Kubota .
Right on👍 those are nice tractors.!
Hello there! Yes indeed your video was well done and very informative - thank you for getting this information out. I have a 2020 CK2610. Does anyone have a part number/website link for the 3-point bevel gear adjusters?
Hank and Brad - nicely done video. Going to throw in my 2 cents worth on Brad's up grade for the front tie down point. Totally agree with the his point for one to be there and that is the best place. But instead of a "D" ring I added two hooks. When tying down you can get a cross pull on the front end, greater security and I believe, at least my state, it is mandatory way to tie down.
Always good to be as safe as possible 👍 good comment!
I thought the same thing never seen anyone tie down a piece of machinery from a center hook. But still I love his additions
You may need to strengthen up that cup holder a bit buddy. I don't know if that will hold or not.
Lol
You added all the features that come on the SE! Nice. I put a lighter grapple on mine (250 lbs) so I can lift a little more.
Thanks for watching 👍
Which grapple did you get? Everything Attachments? My current grapple is so heavy it makes the back wheels lift up if I get a big log in there.
No. I wouldn't get an EA grapple. Im using Homestead Implements. PINNACLE series.
That’s a good looking tractor. There is a lot of great compact tractor options out there.
Yeah I like it👍 thanks Scott.
Great video!!! Good work guys.
Thanks for watching 👍
I wish Kioti would put pricing on their website.
Thanks for watching 👍
Great video 👍 Kioti makes a great tractor. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks buddy👍 hope you have a good Thanksgiving.
@@HamiltonvilleFarm Thanks and you and your family have a great Thanksgiving also.
Best cup holder on the market
That's hilarious.. 1/4" cup holder.. I like this guy!!
😂😂
Nothing but the best for this great machine!
Maybe I should put one of those heavy duty cupholders on my kioti because I do drink heavy cream in my coffee.
😂👍
I’m a huge fan of Brandell!
This person obviously knows what she is talking about!
Me too👍👍👍
Good video ,your buddy/neighbor Randall is a pretty smart guy I like the modifications he made and his thinking behind them it is funny all the similarities between the Kiotti and Kubota , especiacially that they have got away with the Orange color for so long big Companies are usually pretty protective of their Trademark colors , I know a Powder Coating company that was doing Coke machines for a number of years and because of his inventory of that color it’s often the cheapest color you can have him do your parts in you are not allowed to call it Coca Cola Red ,as the official name is Soda Pop Red and is patented
Right on 👍
Nice rig! I like the grapple! I need me one LOL!
It's the same one I have. I agree you need one. Lol. They're a game changer. Hope all is well buddy
@@HamiltonvilleFarm Yes all is well! Sorry I was off all week and wasnt on the Tube much!
Which tractor is a better quality and more reliable tractor, Kioti or a Massey Feeguson?
How is the parts support for these tractors? Some say the Kioti is complete junk others say they are good and the biggest concern i have is getting parts..
Thanks Hank! Great tractor, I looked at a KIOTI before I bought my John Deere but there wasn't a dealer close to where I live. I live in Kingman Kansas, it's a small town and there is a John Deere dealer in my town. Just 1.5 miles away. I really like my John Deere 2038r, no regrets.
Thanks for watching 👍
How has the DPF and regens been? Any issues with that? Thanks for the great video.
nice review, I have the PATS on my JD 2032 love them
Thanks for watching!
Nice tractor! That thing is loaded out!
Yes sir! it's nice👍
Thanks buddy!
Another great video! I think Brandell is a natural 😁
I hope so because he's in my next 3 videos. Lol.
I absolutely love my 3510! Great power, fuel sipper, reliable, and comfortable enough to work all day
Right on. Thanks for watching 👍
@@HamiltonvilleFarm
400+ hours with no issues other than a screw falling out of the loader control knob. 🤪
bought Kubota L2501 2nd day started hiccups like misfire, Dealer kept for 12 days, put more than 4 hours, Got worse, make more damage to the tractor, Now I have nothing but REMORSE. I should have bought KIOTI ..!!
Thanks for watching 👍
thanks for a great review
Thanks for watching 👍
The original dk’s came with extendable lower links
Oh fantastic!!! I been waiting for one of these... Gil has the 21 hp. I need a 40hp....so Ima watch every second!!!
Thanks brother I appreciate that. Hope all is well out West👍
You won't be disappointed at all! Just make sure you work with a good dealer that you are comfortable with.
@@brandellfleming3225 Are there older non computerized models out there?
@@HiddenValleyHomestead there are, and they are actually more feature packed than the current standard CK10 series (roughly equivalent to the CK10se). They are CK20, CK25, CK27, CK30, and CK35. Well, I'm not sure about non-computerized, but they do not have the tier IV emissions (dpf, Regen cycles, etc). So they are at least a more basic version.
I've owned a 46 hp Kiot for 5 years now. Love this tractor, I call it the beast!
Hank, I enjoyed the overview of Brandell's Kioti tractor. He is very talented, judging from all of the things he has added to his tractor. What was that comment about a Kubota. Lol.
The telescopic stabilizers for the 3pt hitch are actually a Kubota accessory item, part number L8430. The comment was that many people think Kubota and Kioti are the same tractor, or from the same manufacturer, which is wrong. Two completely separate companies, Kubota is from Japan, Kioti is South Korean, with Kioti's parent company being Daedong, LTD.
And thanks for the nice words!
Yeah im glad to call him friend
@@brandellfleming3225 I was just messing with Hank since I have a Kubota.
Between you and Gil from Camp Patton I may seriously consider one of these. I LOVE the loader control CLOSE to the operators seat. Price and no smog crap cuz the S Koreans build a great low particle engine eh? Hmmmmm
So have you guys seen any good used ones out there? Gil says the 60hp was like 37gs... I want this 40hp model though... gonna check out the link you posted. Thanks again guys!!
The engine does have a dpf, but I've seen no issues, and haven't heard any from the Kioti group I'm in on Facebook, either. I've regen'd three times, the first two due to low RPM operation. Since I've been running the tractor between 1800-2000 rpm all the time, I've not had any accelerated dpf issues. $37k for the 60hp dk60se cab seems a bit high, but for an NX might be in line. I've gotten prices on a dk5310se cab for around $30k in Florida and Tennessee.
Cool Scott
@@brandellfleming3225 Thanks for.that!
@Eli Dicken Thanks Eli. I have a half mile road that desperately needs grading with drainage put in and then rock and gravel. And then I need a snow blower which these tractors with the 3rd function front hydraulics make for an awesome front blower setup. I also need a backhoe as well as all the normal farm stuff. Tiller, brush hog, box blade, rear blade, chipper... And the rear hydraulics built in are an awesome upgrade. Now in top of all that I want to start a tractor service once I get to Idaho so a little beefier frame with a bit more power I think would handle the extra use... I also need to dig a foundation pad, clear a couple acres for an orchard and dig a walipini greenhouse. Between the drainage ditches and the walipini I need that backhoe. And a bigger one at that so with all that in mind and all.the research I've been doing a 35-45hp tractor I think would be just right.
@Eli Dicken I'm thankful for your input. And Hank and all you guys clueing me in on the price point made me take a look for sure.
I added a Branson.
👍
the question that was what is the three point hitch is it 0 ,1,2,or 3, for the kioti tractor?
3 years and 100 hours? And I thought mine was a garage queen!
👍
Not really a garage queen, but I just use it as a utility machine to move stuff around the house. I think I put 40 hours right around Hurricane Michael cleanup, but that's the most extreme use it's seen.
Brandell Fleming nothing wrong with keeping the hours down! Just as long as you don’t armor all the tires! Lol. I had a fit when I put the first scratch on it.
@@davidhorne2326 lol. That's right..... Brandell if you armor all the tires, I'll never let you live it down 😂😂
Well I did *sort of* wash it the other day for it's big screen debut. Most of the mud on it is still left over from Michael this time last year, though!
Good video 👍
Thanks for watching 👍
I have also recently bought the 2610 myself. I got a tlb, love it. Added the floor mat, rim gaurd and hydraulic top link as well. Love that too. Have a rfm mower and with the way the top link mount is built on the rfm with the flex in it, the top link is the best thing since sliced bread. Question, are the kubota parts a direct bolt on or did you have to fab up some mounts?
That's cool to hear. I'm sure Brandell will read this and answer your question, but with me glancing at it, I don't think he had to. But he'll tell you for sure 👍
I had a Deere MX5 5' rotary cutter, and with the hydraulic top link I could literally sit it on brush to cut away. I love it! The Kubota L8430 kit is more or less bolt on, with one modification. The Kioti lift arms are taller, so you have to cut away a locating bracket from the lift arm end. It is intended to keep the end of the arm from twisting, but seems to be useless. So far, I haven't had any issues and they've been on the tractor for over a year.
How about a video on a Kioti NX Tractor?
That would be awesome. I'll see if a dealer will let me use one👍 those are nice tractors
Thanks a lot!
Can’t count the seat as a negative. All tractor seats are garbage. I have a JD and a kubota. Both seats are cracked and torn and trash.
I hear ya
Got a good source for all your add-ons? I have a ck2610 which shares the frame with your 4010 so I'd be able to buy the same stuff. Also, awesome tractor!
I'd ask your dealer. They are an excellent resource. Thanks for watching 👍
@ RaizT1 Are you aware you can crank up the injection pump screw to gain approximately 10 more h.p? Now you essentially have a CK3510 without the DPF BS. Of course you would be voiding your warranty but it's something to think about when the warranty runs out. There's plenty of videos on the subject on TH-cam.
ckeck Hinomoto tractors with yanmar engine, made in south Korea, are great
I saw you had a 3rd function valve on the tractor; where is the electrical power source for the valve at. I am putting on a 3rd valve and having a hard time understanding the instruction for the electrical connect.
The one that I had was wired straight to the battery
LIKE THE ONE I'M RIDING
Thanks for watching 👍
I believe the Bobcat CT2040 is the same tractor. So if there's a Bobcat dealer closer than Kioti, they can do the repairs.
Thanks for watching!
Hi,
What brand and where did you purchase the 3-point leveling box links for your tractor?
Nice overview video!
They are a Kioti accessory. Kit number cka123. Make sure you ask for the wholegoods kit through sales (or sometimes parts). It is MSRP of ~$75. The "replacement part" cost is $225 for the exact same item! They are handy as heck and I highly recommend them!
Thanks Brandell.
Hank, Can you ask Brandall if he would buy another Kioti, or buy a different brand? Ive looked at Kioti's online and their price is very reasonable...too cheap?
Get a Branson! But Kioti's are really nice too. Good tractors.
Definitely not a cheap tractor just because the price is lower than other brands that offer fewer fearures. Prices are going up on everything anyway. Love my Kioti!
@@HamiltonvilleFarm this is exactly what i have been struggling with while waiting for delivery of a Kioti CK2610 (from korea i mean)....i could cancel and get a Branson, which i could pick up now. There is a dealer i went to that carries both Kioti and Branson....he said he has trouble getting Kioti parts and tractors, but no issues with Branson. I like the cockpit of Kioti better than Branson but like the heavy dutiness of Branson....Help, i cant decide!!
I don't know why more people don't have grapples on their tractors. In general, far more useful than a bucket.
💯👍
That is the problem that we have around here. No Kioti dealers. We had a TYM dealer but something must have happened. He isn't dealing in them anymore. Was in business less than a year. That won't help Kioti
Yeah we need one closer for sure 👍
The dealer network is slowly growing and now numbers over 400 in the US. You're right, though, this isn't one of the major brands in the US, mainly because Deere puts the squeeze on everybody else with its crappy tractors.
@@pineforest7528 I don't know about them being crappy tractors. I looked at the Deeres before I looked at Mahindra and Kubota. I felt like Deere was catering to a market of suburbanites who will only do things like finish mow and other light yard work and chores. I don't like that their loaders aren't easily removable. I don't like that they are Deere proprietary, meaning they need to be paired up with only their stuff and I didn't like that the drawbar was optional. Really John Deere? Optional drawbar? Aluminum rear ends?
You know what Pine Forest? Maybe they are crappy tractors after all.
I can't get past all the plastic, starting with the hoods. I have an X540 and the hood is cracked in multiple places. The manual actually warns owners not to leave the tractor in the sun. Imagine that, a tractor you can't leave in the sun! One day the throttle knob actually came off in my hand; the plastic had cracked clear across it. (The engine is a good one, but Deere didn't make it.) On places like Tractorbynet the reviews of Deere tractors are deeply depressing to any Deere person. The older Deere tractors were great but NO MORE. I REFUSE TO OWN A PLASTIC TRACTOR. Already had those when I was a kid.
@@pineforest7528 I totally agree. Deere is riding on their reputation from the past. Big mistake on their part. Can they not see these other tractor manufacturers coming up behind them? They are in for a real wake up call.
Are those Industrial or Agro tires ?
Even after the tractor has rusted away, and there is nothing but cockroaches left, that cupholder will still be around.
Lol. That's funny😂
I'd worry more about the engine and hydraulics.
Anyway we can get the part numbers on the adjustable sidelinks and rear remote kit he has? I'm not finding them for the prices he was saying
The sidelinks are actually a Kubota kit, L8430. I think it is advertised as being for the L3200. My local Kubota dealer had it in stock and it was $175. My remotes are CKA110, available through sales as a Kioti wholegoods accessory kit. The kit I have is two spring remotes. They also have two more kits: spring/detent and then two detent remotes. I think they were around $400 for the remotes at time of purchase. My dealer didn't charge labor for the install.
Hank he needs a Rhinohide canopy just like mine on my 3510!
Yeah for sure ...I'm gonna talk to him about that👍

That and the sawhaul are on the requisition list for sure.
What u use it fur
I have a CK3510SE HC and love it but would love to upgrade the 3 point adjusters to the same ones shown here. Do you have a good source? Are they actually a Kioti part? Thanks for a great video!
Thanks for watching. Read through the comments. I think someone mentions the part in the comment section. If not, reply,and I can find out for you. It is called something to the effect of "whole parts" or something like that. I can't remember off the top of my head.
Best video I’ve seen on the kioti. I’m considering this exact set up.I’m hearing a lot about the emission control. Has that been an issue for you? Also is the 40 hp. a good motor for this tractor ? Do you feel like it needs more power or could you have done as well with a lower hp.
There's no issues with emissions. Alot of people like to complain about emissions, but it's just a fact of life today. People also complained about automatic transmissions and fuel injection in cars. Run the machine at operating speed (~1800rpm) and you won't have any issues.
And I haven't felt the need for more hp, but I don't do a lot of ground engagement. I lift a lot of things and use weird implements like chippers and stump grinders.
I like the tractor but so many add ons I wonder what, if anything, comes with the tractor that would entice me to buy. I’d like to own one with a front end loader and a backhoe but not interested in making a ton of changes to to get it where it’s acceptable.
