Yo! Thanks for posting your videos. Keep it up! It's great to see a young family like yours going back to a more wholesome way of life. Happy father's day and thanks for being an inspiration to a young father like myself.
That's a Nice tractor!!! I almost went Kioti. They seem to make a strong tractor. Thanks for the video. I subscribed to check out more of your content. Oh and your Gutter installer is the Dumb A** for installing the down spout in front of the garage door ; ) Have a Great Day!!
Yes the issue with the gears is normal since it's a hydrostatic transmission and the gears are not fully synchronous like on a shuttle shift. This will get better as the tractor breaks in and as others have mentioned, tapping the pedals will help move the gears so they align and allow your to shift.
@@woodlandacres No worries, my L2501 Kubota same thing. I got 60 hrs and it is getting easier. I do try to switch between ranges to help loosen it up. Looks like a great tractor and you will get long use and fun out of it. I usually grease the loader every time I use it. Mine suggests every 10 hrs. I ran heavy equipment for 15 years. I greased everyday. Other equipment that didn't get it that frequently had pin and bushing issues earlier on. Happy tractoring my friend.
Looking at Kioti now. Getting ready to retire from my farm in the Philippines and head to West Virginia. But...being a farmer....I need another tractor. Kioti looks like it....CK2610. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for your Kioti review. My DK arrives this Thursday! Like you, the price point was a consideration for me too. Keep the posts coming, and I’d have probably eaten that rooster! 🐓
I just might if the hawks don't get to him first! I put some more hours on the tractor yesterday leveling the yard but forgot the camera. It hasn't become a habit for me yet to record everything I do. Congrats on the DK!
if you have issues with putting gears in tap, when trying to put it in gear tap either the forward or reverse pedal if yours is a hydro stat and it will drop straight in, the reason why its hard is the tight tolerances and as I was told a slight tap on the pedal aligns it for you to put it in gear. Hop[e that explains it for you
I loaded 9 yards of hard clay by hand this week and it's hard work. I have 8 acres and a tractor would be awesome. I looked at the ck3510 just need more research to determine what model I get.
yup, been there. The tractor is obviously a real time saver so if you consider the amount of time it saves you, its worth it. I did a pretty good amount of research with it being my first tractor purchase, and Kioti just seemed like the best bet for me. The only piece that made me somewhat reluctant in the beginning was the lack of nearby dealers and service centers in my area, so I had to convince myself I'd be ok servicing it myself when needed.
New sub here. Might be time for some Coq au vin there buddy haha. I'm about to pull the trigger on a kioti. New 2610 or a slightly used (120 hours) 3510 for roughly the same price. In leaning towards 3510. I'll have to catch up on some of the other videos
@@woodlandacres yes no regen on the smaller one, but I don't think that would bother me anyhow. More More worried about running implements like a chipper or winch later on and needing that extra power
i picked up the ck4010se this summer, would be interesting to run the 35 n 40 next to each other to see if that 5hp makes any difference...I chose the 40 because i have a steeeeep driveway trying to use a 850lbs snowblower...
Theres a dealer that recorded a TH-cam video like that comparing the kioti models but I don't recall if he used both the 35 and 40. How are you liking the tractor so far?
@@woodlandacres it's main purpose is for snow blowing and grading the driveway at the cabin. I spent 10hrs learning/using it to grade the driveway. Still waiting for the snow...i don't get to spend as much time at the cabin as i would like to so the learning curve will be slow...but so far, i'm loving it.
I have the ck2610. I like things about the tractor but I don't like the distance between the pto and the drawbar. The hood will not stay latched. I have to remove the drawbar if I run any pto equipment on the 3pt hitch. Other then that for what I use it for its not bad.
Even at 5.oo$ a tube (good polyurea Kubogy grease) l spend more money on grease-monkeying than fuel @3.5 $ a gallon. In 812hrs & 4 1/2 years l heard my rig Squeek only ONCE. Grease is WAY-WAY cheaper than pins&bushings. It is WAY better to grease often than slober-pump once in a while (like every 20hours). A couple (2or3) every 4 hrs is my repitore. Never- never have l heard a modern-day machine make that much NOISE!! --sounded like a rattletrap.[Just my two cents] Just took 2 Massey-Ferguson 's for test drives-- a 1825e hydro & a 1840e gear drive & they were 50% &35% as loud respectively. My "Kubogy" a mx5200 manual shuttle & my Massey-Ferguson 1736 powe-shuttle are only 35% as loud as the kioti CK3510SE. Maybe all that clanging & banging was the Re-gen going on? I am in the market for a rig this size 2800-3300lbs & 25-35 horsepower. When l go test drive a kioti l hope they are never this Loud. All brands are on the table & not any one is the clear winner so far. Happy safe Tractoring & thanks for the vidio.
@@donaldstrishock3923 you've got the right idea regarding maintenance. i just need to build a better habit about it with my equipment. Good luck on the new tractor search!
I just put a down payment on a CK3510, the most tractor I could afford right now. I wish you did get the regen on video, personally I'm not looking forward to it I think it's going to be pitta when it stops the tractor from working.
Congrats! yea I didn't have the camera on me, otherwise I would've! Aside from the noticeable heat (and smell), I didn't notice any change in performance. From what I understand, you can continue to operate as usual if it kicks in as long as you aren't working in tall, dry grass.
It doesn't stop the tractor from working. When the regen light comes on simply move the throttle lever so the tach needle points to the 540 PTO mark on the dial and continue working. After about 8 minutes the light will go off and everything will return to normal. I've been through it 6 times in 210 hrs. and its a non issue.
@@garymeyer3294 definitely good report. I did a lot of research on the regens and I didn't find many people complaining about it on the Kioti. I saw several complaints on the Kubota B3350...but didn't see any on the Kioti...never-the-less, I opted to go with the Kioti CK2610 HST since it doesn't have the emission control stuff on it (same hydraulics as the CK3510 so same lift capacities)...and I have been very happy so far 110 hours and 1 year later. IF you are into it for the loader and 3 point hitch, no need for more hp. If you want to use the PTO a lot, that is when you might need more hp.
Run the engine 2400rpm and the regen will seldom trigger. The modern tier 4 diesels are designed to run higher rpm’s to run clean and it won’t hurt them. Avoid lengthy idle time. My 3510 has 400 hrs and only 3 or 4 regens needed.
Yes, for most people it is annoying but we don't mind it. It's also a bonus knowing most people don't want to live near us, lol. And I also grew up with trains right behind us so it's not unusual for me.

Hey, thanks and same to you! I can only hope I leave a decent impression raising my kids this way, lol.

LOL! I adjusted the downspout so its no longer sticking out. Thx for the sub! More content in the works..
Awesome dogs. Thanks for the video. I just bought a cx 4020.
Congrats! How are you liking it? I kinda wish I went bigger now, LOL
@@woodlandacres I didn’t wanna to fork out the extra money, but I knew I would be like you and want more horsepower later. I love the tractor so far.
Thanks for the great video. I just ordered a Bobcat (same tractor) and like you will be a first time property/tractor owner.
Its becoming more desirable than ever before to adopt this lifestyle!
Yes the issue with the gears is normal since it's a hydrostatic transmission and the gears are not fully synchronous like on a shuttle shift. This will get better as the tractor breaks in and as others have mentioned, tapping the pedals will help move the gears so they align and allow your to shift.
Good to know, makes me feel like I shouldn't consider it a bad thing now.

@@johnstaub359 good to know, thx for the tip on greasing!
Just rock it back and forth while in your seat while throwing it into gear. Works every time. Awesome tractor.
It's been good to me, but now I'm wishing I went bigger!
I'm fixing to do the same thing man I'm glad I found your channel
love the enthusiam of other tractor owners!

Hope you can get your hands on one! Seems like everything is tough to come by these days..
Great video, thanks!
Thanks, I need to work on getting some more up.
Glad I got the CK2610HST...no regen, but still same hydraulics (loader and 3 point) capacities.
yea I was worried about the regen mostly bc I'm not familiar with it, but now that i've been through it one time I'm not too concerned about it...yet.

So I guess that means its "normal"? Thanks for the insight!
@@woodlandacres I was told this by the dealer when they dropped it off, and it works like a charm
It’s normal. My Kioti does it and so did the New Holland I owed before it. You’ll be fine.

You can use either a 60" or a 66" bucket on that loader

not sure you can go wrong with the 3510, but i dont think you have to worry about regen on the 2610?

yea like most things, "perfect" is hard to come by but i still don't have any regrets with the kioti
Yeah they say do all the joints on the loader every 10 hours.
Its a full time job keeping up with maintenance on all the equipment!

Get yourself a cordless grease gun. Makes life much easier.

@@woodlandacres you have nice Rancho and dream garage.So you will be happy live where you are 🙋🙌
Go with the hydraulic top link.....and a hydraulic side link. Enjoyed your video.
Thanks, got the hydraulic top link now!
That is the dumbest downspout installation I have seen in a long time.
LOL, dont worry. I fixed it! No longer is it at risk of my wife behind the wheel
Did you ballast the rear tires? It's necessary IMO. It'll add 700 pounds to the back end down low. Really important for loader work.
I've thought about it, but no haven't done it yet. So far having the box blade attached has worked
Touch the gas pedal lightly and it'll drop right in.
yea, i finally figured that was the trick.
