- Looking into getting a Kioti Tractor?
Well check out this video in which Marshall goes over some of the history that backs the Kioti Tractors. This video goes into detail on Kioti and Kubota's early 1980s relationship, Kioti's time in the USA, What products they offer, Their recent 13 million dollar investment in their headquarters, And who builds these awesome tractors!
In this video we thought it would be nice to show you 3 models that have basically changed over the past 20 years and what their changes have been, we used a Kioti LK3054, then a Kioti CK30 HST and then the All new kIoti CK3510SE HST
Kioti first brought their tractors into the USA in 1986, but it wasn't until 1993 that they established their full Headquarters Plant in Wendell, NC.

I can listen to this guy talk tractors all day long. I owned a CK27, it was a great machine.
Bought a brand new Green Tractor in March 2016 and used it lightly. Then in May of 2018 I bought a 10 acre farm. I needed to use a brush hog for clean up. I picked one up off of Craigslist for $400.00 bucks. I hooked it up to the "new" tractor and the PTO would not come on in the rear. I called the dealer who closed their location and moved 30 miles away from me for help. Didn't offer any help on the phone said "bring it in and we will take a look at it." "Might take a while we are busy. " I explained that I bought the tractor new from them and hadn't used the PTO since I bought the tractor. The Tractor had 60 hours on it at the time. He said "well you are out of warranty by 2 months and it will be $90.00 an hour for us to look at it." I asked him if he was serious, because this tractor was still like new with only 60 hours and I bought it from them. I had never tried to use the PTO till now. I said "how do I know you guys even hooked it up right? I asked if there wasn't anything they could do? They offered nothing! No technical help/support, check this, or that, and repeated "bring it in and leave it. We will call you when it's ready." Needless to say they really pissed me off! I crawled all over the tractor looking and found the connector wasn't all the way on. I put it on and bam it worked.
But, the more I thought about the madder I was getting over the lack of green support. I was as green loyal customer as you could get. Even had a sign on my road the said "J*** D**** Lane with a small latern. Hats, gloves, license plates, etc. My middle son even had a belt buckle and birthday cake made like a tractor. So, everytime I looked at the tractor I would get pissed. I talked over with my wife and decided to trade it in for a larger tractor. I looked at them all and I bought the Kioti DK47SE-HST 4X4 and never looked back. What a beast of a tractor! It had way more power and features of anything close to it! The Kioti folks were awesome and gave me the best deal trading in the Green tractor. I can't say enough good things about those folks at Bluegrass Lawn and Tractor. Curtis is the man you want to buy a tractor from he knows his stuff. They have a huge shope and plenty of technicians. I'm glad I took the green guys advice "bring it in and leave it" I did and couldn't be happier with my Beast! I bought it Sept 2018 and now I have 53 hours on it and it purrs like a diesel!
That's an awesome story... I bought my kioti 2007? dk45s in 2019, used 1200hrs... I've ALWAYS wanted kioti and never knew why..... I was set to buy a newholland, having "WORKED " with them, I knew they weren't highly reliable, but GOOD workhorses when you keep an eye on things (stupid failures)..... I have over 250hrs in this tractor and it's still impressing me! I frown on many other tractors in its class/size becuse I consider the kioti OVERbuilt... amazing how they arent more popular
LLOYD I have gotten this same story from many others and I also have been personally disgusted by Deere. That company completely lost touch with it's customers. Greed and self importance went to it's head and now it's reputation is going south.
I have a CK4010 with 220 hours, couldn’t be happier with product and my local dealer
Nice video Marshall. I appreciate all the info. Good to see the Kioti numbers keep increasing!
Thanks Andrew! People are catching onto the great product that kioti puts out! Company is growing fast.
I bought a CK 30 last November from a Kioti dealer here in Florida. It’s a 2015 with 200 hrs and looks new.
I’m really liking it. I have a WoodMaxx wood chipper 9990 and that 30 hp does a great job.
It now has 225 hrs and out of hibernation. I also have a Kubota 5240 big brother and old faithful Ford 3600.
I do like the Kioti, nicely made and good value.
P😮😮😢😢😢😢😅😂
Great video, loved the history lesson and my 1995 Daedong L3503-D. Great, reliable yet powerful 35hp tractor. It's exciting to hear how fast Daedong (Kioti) is growing. They need to advertise more on TV and radio!!!! I believe once the word gets out, people we see just how well they are built and how much more bang for the buck you get over the other big name tractors ( JD, Kubota, Massey Ferguson, New Holland, LS, and the list goes on). To who ever is reading this. If you are in the market for a tractor, check out the Kiotis before you spend your money, i think you will be surprised at the build quality and features. Even my 1995 Daedong L3503D was ahead of its time and still running strong.
thanks for watching! Kioti tends to really impress people when they see them in person or are lucky enough to try one or own one :)
@@orchardhillfarmequipment4347 i agree.. if you are a dealer and you are in good with Kioti, i really think you should call their marketing department and tell them to ADVERTISE ADVERTISE ADVERTISE. I Believe most people know nothing about Kioti . I didn't until i typed in 35hp tractor's. And they were about last to pop up.. they need to get their name out there
@@johnnyturbo8460 I highly agree. I do my best to help spread brand awareness for the company through tv, social media, youtube, internet pages, and much more. However the company could definitely benefit from some serious marketing efforts. I have asked them multiple times why there are no crazy TV campaigns and such. No real reason. From a dealers standpoint of over 30 years dealing with Kioti/Daedong I can tell you I have never seen a company grow as fast as they have in the last year. However they could double their growth with more marketing efforts.
@@orchardhillfarmequipment4347 that's great news of their growth. Maybe they are (like you mentioned in the video) up sizing their abilities and wearhouse so they can meet the needs, and then really start marketing.. with that said, now's the time to buy Kioti, once word really hits the streets i bet we will see a rise in prices just like kubota and beyond. Because i honestly feel Kioti is a better tractor.
@@orchardhillfarmequipment4347 I recently demoed a CK3510SE and was blown away. The quality and refinement of the machine was much more then I was expecting. The dealer was a pleasure to deal with and the prices to value ratio can't be beat. The reason Kioti is not advertising is simply because they don't have to. You said yourself that they are growing leaps and bounds without it. By not advertising they can keep the prices down which translates to more sales and more growth.
Trading in a green tractor for a CK3510se HST cab next Monday. The kioti / LS dealer I worked with is amazing, and the value for what you pay is unbeatable on these Kiotis.
Try Massey furgeson for small tractors waaaaayyyy cheaper
But kioti are nicer tbh
Just bought the ck3510se, love it can't beat the price for what u get.
@@tpike46w Enjoy it! The CK310SE is a great tractor for the money!
@@narellebenson3047 Masseys are more expensive than Kiotis.
bought a ck30hst in 2013 and love it at 500 hours old! Out grew my ck20 that was a year old and traded it in for the ck30. Built my own removable grapple for the factory bucket and use the tractor all the time with multiple attachments. Would not be without it.
I own 2 Kioti tractors, a 41hp DK40se and a CK3510 HST. Absolutely wild about both! The CK 3510 HST is my fave of all my tractors (I also own 2 compact MF's) Never a problem, parts easily obtainable quickly. My local mechanic prefers Kioti's to all other brands. My dealer (Dickson Tractor/Westminster, SC) is tops! Compare both K brand tractors and you'll buy the Kioti. I'd buy another CK3510se HST if I could. Truly great on western NC hilly terrain.
Why does your local mechanic prefer Kioti to all other brands?
@@blessed7fold He feels that a Kioti is what a Kubota was meant to be. In some ways a Kioti is a knock off of a Kubota.. Kubota has become the entry level tractor for newbies, like a Chevy or Ford used to be. Stat for stat a Kioti will do more than a comparable Kubota, and in his opinion (he works on them all and has for 25 years) most any other brand. Either of my Kioti's will out lift a similar Kubota front and rear I have a CK3510 and a DK40SE. Eddie can get part as fast or fater than he can for a Kubota (wew live in rural western NC), he finds them easier to work on, better placement of parts, more room, that kind of thing. He also g=finds he rarely has to repair one but is constantly being called to repair Kubota, JD, New Holland, and others. he does like a TYM but fw around here. He prefers my Kioti's to my original Massey, and he was the lead dealership mechanic at the time I bought it. He also finds trouble shooting easier. He says they make sense to him. What repairs he makes are typically simple ones. The only trouble I've had with my DK has been faulty ignition switches. Kioti has changed to something better. this last time. When he added the valving and grapple to my CK, it went far easier than he expected since teh layout of the tractor was as if Kioti expected your to add and after market kit. He had dreaded it and had put me off. Once into it, he found it a snap. He's done others on other bands and found it dreadful incl Kubota. He feels JD's are over priced for what you get. He feels Kioti offers more value for the buck. BTW, the feared pollution reset stuff you hear so much about has NOT been an issue on either of my Kioti's. It takes no more than 20 mins for everything to clear.. It may have happened 3 times each on either of them. I'm not a fan of sub-compact tractors. Any of this help?
@@bobgrier3103 Thank you very much for your very detailed reply! This helped me a ton. It's feedback like this that I needed before I take the plunge to buy one. Your feedback has been taken seriously.
@@blessed7fold Happy to help. My 3510 is HST, something I highly recommend. My DK is a shuttle shift. At 76, I find it harder on the body. Most any over 30 HP HST is a good buy. My 3510 is 35 HP. and it's my fave tractor esp now it has a grapple (Everything Attachments makes the best after market stuff, but it's not cheap. In short, We, mechanic Eddie and I, and a close friend who has 2 Kioti's, have found them to be reliable and easy to care for. I wish you every happiness with whatever you buy. I might mention that my Kiotit dealer is 2 h=ours away and that didn't phase me one bit in buying from him twice nor from my friend buying twice. And I'd buy another if I could afford it. Let me know what you decide.
I have an LK 3054 I bought brand new in 1999. I added three hydraulic cylinders to the three point so I can make adjustments on the fly. Tractor has been solid all these years. I sometimes want to upgrade but really no reason to. Parts for me have been a bit tricky, I need a new filter bowl and radiator reservoir. Unfortunately my tractor is not garaged and suffers all weather conditions.
Great info, just got 2019 ck 3510 h my very first tractor 🚜, I think I made great decision
We have a 1998 LK3054 and it’s still running like new
My uncle bought one new about 2 years ago and he has abused it a little no problems for him I have used it a few times good little machines seem to be put together really well
I like the lk3054 I pick up last week.But you sure can't find body parts for it.
I like the ck 10 series and if my local dealer was not a a total a**hole I probably would have one. They used to be a Kubota dealership and were dropped for that reason. Good video and description of the kioti history 👍
I own a LK 30 with a back hoe that I bought I think in 2008. I love it.
Come on now lets not tell tall tails out of school. Kioti was sued by Kuboto for stealing their design, making their own, and selling it under another name. At the end of the day the early Kioti's were quite literately Kubota tractors. Now they've come along just fine on their own. Decent little tractor, I have a DK6010SE and it has thoroughly impressed me. Could do a better job of putting the remote levers in more convenient locations, but thats about my only bitch. Solid machine, strong, and easy to operate. It serves as our utility, go to, do everything tractor. Had the skid steer, (hate those things), quick attach system installed with a front second remote. Cant recommend that upgrade enough! Brilliant! All the skid steer stuff available, including the hydraulic operated stuff. Turns it into a beast. So from bailing hay, to driveway maintenance, to snow removal, to fence post drilling, to pasture replanting it does it all for a small farm. Small, thats the key word.
I just bought an '80s Kioti LB2204 and I noticed that the engine model is the same as the Kubotas from that era. It's a DH 1101-b, but it was manufactured by Daedong not Kubota. Do you know if the two are interchangeable? Reason I ask is that it may need to have the engine completely replaced depending on what's wrong with it, and the only ones I can find are the Kubota versions. Thanks.
Just bought a ck3710, super impatient for it to arrive and replace my 40 year old kubota(which is still awesome just too small).
If I had the money I would by the 3054 in heartbeat !!!
that hydraulic flow rate.... is that the implement flow alone or combined with the steering pump flow? Cuz if it's combined, that's an entirely too common deceptive sales tactic. With some tractors, it's two completely separate pumps and the steering flow is totally dedicated to that one cylinder.
Good job on the info.
Please use microphone on your person next time making a video. Sound quality will significantly improve.
Yes we have invested in a wireless lav mic for all our videos. Most newer ones are using the wireless mic.
Good job Marshall. What type of recording device are you using? I may be able to recommend a wireless mic system that is compatible.
Hey James, I apprechiate the help. Believe it or not I use an Iphone 8 to record most of our walkthru videos as it has great storage capacity of 256gb and the quality is great. I have a DSLR Canon T3i Rebel as well but the people recording these videos are not very camera savy. I would love your input and suggestion on what to use for a wireless mic. Not looking to spend tons. I ordered a BOYA Wireless Mic that worked great for 3 videos and then crapped out, Not sure whats wrong with it. It seems like something inside the transmitter fried.
I bought a 2017 ck 3510 hst and love it. I was looking at part numbers and noticed all the engines from 25 to 45 had same pistons cranks cams injectors and lots more. can I have my cdi controle box reflashed?
Lol sooo your saying the displacement is the same??? Curious if your able to uprate it! Thatd be badass
I know this was posted a long ago, but the HP difference is controlled by the injects, not just software. A reflash without the higher flow injectors won't do much, if anything.
I want a 2610Se with out a cab and now I’m hearing that they don’t make a 2610SE with out a cab. What happened? I have done a ton of research on all manufacturers of tractors and the Kioti 2610SE is what I had decided to get but when I went to a dealer he said they don’t make that model anymore without a cab and he couldn’t tell me why. I hate to say it but I might be looking elsewhere for a tractor.
My lk 3054 was a dog. My local dealer was a car salesman that didn't know tractors, but when they took his car dealership all he could get was tractors. I got sick and tired of it breaking down and towed it almost 2 hours to another dealer that charged me thousands to fix his screw ups. If they had a better dealer network i would consider another but having to go 2 hours for parts and service sucks. the local guy doesn't even stock filters for the older equip
Jusy go online at Amazon. You can get all OEM parts for your model Kioti delivered to your door and buy pass the dealer mark up.
We need a dealer closer to me lol.
Never mind the tractors, look at that firewood supply!!
I wish you were closer. My local Kioti dealer is a turd. He sells Kioti out of a lawn mower shop. Will not allow tractor trade in, and will not lower his price. I stayed with Kubota because of it. Kioti lost the sale because of that dealer not because of the quality of the tractor. Kioti builds a nice tractor. Ricer Kioti in Portsmouth Ohio is a turd dealership.
I'm sorry to hear that. I really feel that lousy dealer really held you back from buying a better tractor in my opinion.
Turd Ferguson for $400 🤣
Nowhere can you find a feature on a CK3010 tractor by Kioto Australia.Plenty of American models.Kioti Australia Headquarters information website sucks,Ask a question I know nothing.
It would be nice to hear if there are options on dpf and erg delete.. Something kinda hint hint like. Example "the software adapts automatically to dpf and erg removal.. hint hint"
Have a LK 3052 need to know how to change the oil
I have a CK3510, 192 hours three and half years old, check engine light comes on. Dealer isn't any help bought it new from said dealer. This is an on going problem.
Hey Marshall.... Great video. Quick question. I have a 2017 CK2610 with only 40 hrs on it. Great tractor for my needs. I see the 2019 models are coming with a better 4030 loader. Will I void the warranty on mine if I upgrade? What am I looking at cost wise for a 4030? Thanks!
How much of an up charge are the 4030 loaders?
New Loader would be around $4355 MSRP. Not sure on exact price of new one. But I would say just keep your loader, it would be prob better off upgrading whole tractors if you wanted the new loader. Although the specs are much higher I always felt the KL2610 was much more powerful than the spec sheets say. I personally don't think the KL4030 loader is worth upgrading to unless you sell your machine or trade it in and want to upgrade tractors. Because the KL2610 loader would be a wasted investment after you put the 4030 loader on in my opinion.
How do you set up a starter
Hi, I am drying to get a crank adjust tilt link for my ck2510 like we see here on the ck30. This is similar tilt link to that found on a ford 1620.
Any ideas? Love this window style crank. Would like to find one...
There is a chance the wholegoods part for the ck3510 and ck2610 may swap to a ck2510. Not positive, but a good chance. Do you have a local kioti dealer? He should be able to order one if they are available
what can a 30 hp do? Can it pull out trees?
I have a kioti tractor lk2552 need parts for it can you help
Have no idea about a mic but what's ur opinion on mahindra
Good Tractors, But not if you don't have a good dealer. The Brand is hard to deal with ( compared to kioti) from the dealers end of things. But in the end its definately a great tractor. As long as you have a dealer that is willing to order parts, service and do warranty claims they are a good choice. We have been selling mahindra for going on 20 years now. They have grown a lot, and worked very hard to grow to where they are today.
@@orchardhillfarmequipment4347 Kioti hands down over the mahindra. But don't take my word for it. Take the drive to the dealers and test them both out. Let us know what you came up with
Do you know if they are sold in thailand
It would be under Daedong tractors
13 million dollar expansion? Or 13 billion. Hard to believe they could build a 4-500,000 factory for 13 million.

No offence u need a microphone
Sadly I just bought one. And it broke after shooting 3 videos... Guess I bought the wrong brand. Time to get another. I totally agree. But Just wanted to do a video to keep active. What brand wireless mic do you recommend?
dud stop looking the tractors and look at the camera so we can hear you
Sorry, Use to having a mic. However I was not able to use a mic in this video as our mic broke and we are currently trying to buy a new one.
"Dud" stop telling a grown man what to do if you dont like it dont watch i had no problem hearing him
What good is a talking video if no one can hear you??????
We invested in a wireless Mic. Sorry for this video you gotta turn up your volume.
You are recording from too far,the sound level is too low!!!!!!!
I think you were just trying to sell more tractors 🚜 I don’t think I would buy another one just because I’ve had so much issues with the one I have kioti won’t back it Up won’t fix it won’t do anything I think the company is just a joke so be careful buying anything with kioti written on it The company will not stand behind their stuff
Please share your story.
Nice video but they my friend are fair heaps of shit
Why?
@@blessed7fold get what u pay gor cheap heaps of junk
Yeah, but they're garbage ass tractors still to this day.
