- An honest one year review of our kioti dk 5310 after almost 300 hour of hard use. It has r14 tires and it’s a kioti with a cab. We have run a bottom plow, Rototiller, brush hog, box scraper, land grader, root grapple, standard bucket, pallet forks, 3pt seeder and pulled many trailers.

Thank you for the review. That’s the same model I plan to purchase, without the cab. I have 80 acres with lots of trees. Grapple and tiller will be the first implements. The DK frame seems substantial. Dealer within a 30 minute drive.
Perfect, my grapple is really handy. We have gotten a ton work done with it.
Great video. Thanks for the straightforward review.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching 👍
Good long term update. Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Thank you for letting us know how reliable and good these Kioti's are. Watched your excellent videos and the maintenance ones too, and now am a happy subscriber. You and the other owners helped me decide on a CX3520 with loader, backhoe, pallet attachment, and grapple. I also do my own maintenance, and just did the first greasing at about 8 hours. Will check the torques and other fluids next weekend, and love it so far. Keep up the great work, and congratulations on your wonderful property. Enjoy!
Thanks, glad it helped you out. Congratulations on a great machine. Thanks for subscribing 👍 Sounds like you picked some great attachments.
Love the video. Good editing and I like the fact you went over the lights, I didn't realize how much I didn't like mine until your night demonstration. I have a DK4710hst cab (identical tractor to yours minus the ecu). I have 50 hours on mine and use it mostly for snow removal, I had 1 bolt fall out for the 3 point control lever and the bottom clamp on my bottom radiator hose wasn't tight enough. I have 2 complaints, 1 is the fog; my cab fogs way too much way too often, even with ac on, fresh air etc, I have to open back window a crack to even stand a chance. second thing is a weak factory alternator, with all the factory lights on and rear window defrost I can see my lights dim when I turn my wipers on and the wiper speeds slow down a bit. Heat is a bit weak too and factory options like front fenders don't exist, one of my front knuckles wasn't even drilled and tapped. Overall, I like the tractor but as it is my first, I probably would have been happy with any brand. Thanks for the video!
Thanks man! I appreciate it. Check your alternator belt is tight and all of your battery, ground and starter connections. Mine were loose.
I bought a c k 2620 open station and I love it very hard working tractor no issues yet
Glad to hear you’re enjoying your tractor. I think kioti builds a great machine.
Been great tractor for me. Only real issue had left rear axles shaft seal leak. changed inner and outer bearing with new seal put back together and runs great. Where I have had purchased my tractor I will not take back. I do the work as 3 times took to them I had to redo the upper link hoses so had enough room to bend and also run the fitting down till bottomed out and then tightened the lock nut no leak they don't seem to get the mechanical of most things so I don't let them touch it. I have had zero issues since . Wheel seal I replaced and no issue no more leaks. run all summer in the heat of Florida.
Good to hear it, bummer about the dealership. I also prefer to do my own work on mine.
I have a 22 Kioti. Love it 👍👍
Glad to hear it!
I have had my CK27 hst for 10 years (1074 hrs) mainly for plowing snow. The first 3 or 4 years I used my front mount blower, but quickly found that the front bucket was a better way to go for me. I put a tooth bar on the front and also plow with the back blade. The day it was delivered I moved about 80 tons of gravel with it. the next day did another 25 tons. Break it in slowly? Nope, break it in doing what you expect it to do. Did the first oil and filter change at 80 hours and every 100 hours after that. I run Rotella T4, 15W40 oil. I don't have DEF/DPF/EGR or any of that nonsense to worry about. It was good on fuel until I took the muffler off and put a 3" straight pipe on, now it is GREAT on fuel. Yesterday I fuelled it up right to the shoulder of the fill hole and plowed snow for two and a half hours and used 1/2" of fuel out of my 7 gallon tank. I don't baby it at all, and it seems to want for more use.
It had a no start problem about 6 years ago that between me and the dealer over the phone narrowed it down to the fuel shutoff solenoid relay. Cheap fix. Would I buy another one? In a heart beat.
Awesome, i fully agree on your break in procedure. I ran mine hard strait off the trailer. Great to hear so many people having great ownership experience with these machines.

Love my CK2610SE
Thanks for all the tips from grease guns to servicing your tractor!
Hey, glad you liked the video. 2610 is a great machine.
@@workinonitsteve Yes sir i love it for our little 6 acre homestead.....thanks again eh from a grateful Canadian
@@deanwilson7047 keep watching we’re just coming out of mud season, excited to do some tractor stuff. Just tilled the garden, we’re off the gravel now. Lots of videos coming soon, hope you subscribe and hit the bell.
Thanks for your 1yr experience video update. I too have the K5310 SEC with just under a 100 hours. It came in about June last year. Curious that you have hydraulic fade. I did a 200hr service at 50hrs. Used all Mobil products and haven't had any fade yet. Hopeful that is an anomaly that stops for you My 3 point lifts and holds my 6' EA wicked bush hog overnight. Keep the updates coming and good luck with your channel.
Good to hear, the fade seems to have gone away after the last service so hopefully it’s good now. How do you like your brush hog?
@Workin on it glad to hear the fade is gone. That would mean your pump or a hydraulic seal was failing. t
The wicked brushhog is better than I deserve. ; )
Good looking tractor. Terrible lights at night.
Thanks
Nice shop layout.
Thanks man, I really enjoy working in it. 👍
My CX2510 (a baby compared to your DK5310) had the same issue with the alternator at about 10 hours. Besides for that, its been running great for 2 years. I read of complains about the bolts coming loose, but I have not experienced that at all.
That’s great, glad your enjoying your tractor.
Not one of the big brands! Awesome review, but they are the #3 tractor brand in North America I recently read in an article. I just bought a CK 20 cab and I love it
Glad to hear it, still very happy with mine.
NX4510, had some really good experiences with it and some bad. The Good , dealership did fantastic work of building it up, no bolts came loose. The bad, the seals were not installed correctly at the manufacturing plant so the dealer will replace at no cost to me since is still under warranty. I have 200 H and is one year old almost.
Glad to hear they are getting you taken care of. Dealership can really make or break your experience with these machines.
2-1/2 yrs ago I did the do-diligence tractor research and settled on Kioti. At the dealership, some 50 miles away, I gave him a list of work I needed to accomplish on our 80 acre ranch in Wyoming. He came up with what "Tim-the-Tool Man Taylor" would always say ... "More POWER!". AND ..... he was RIGHT! 300 hrs later the RX 7320 has accomplished what was needed and stretch it's use of POWER. I had originally thought the NX55 or 60 would do the trick. They might have been stretched pulling a 3-bottom plow or handling 4'x4'x8' hay bales. My ONE BIG DISLIKE ...... the front loader ..... is just toooooo hard to see getting the skid steer attachments attached. Pain-in-the-gladiolus maxi mus. Yes .... would purchase one again .... but ...... this should last me until I die and I'm 75 now.
Thanks, I agree about hooking up to skid steer attachments. One huge thing to help you when getting into them is to get a paint pen and draw lines on the back side where your coupler shod be so you know where to be side to side. It also helps to watch your bucket level indicator. Hope that helps.
im looking at a new kubota mx 5400
Solar powered wireless car reverse camera above quick attach. Problem solved
I think i put 7 inch leds on my nx and it's like daylight almost, awesome tractors.
Good to hear. I ordered some lights, now I just need to get them installed.
Great job on the video and review. Really nice looking tractor. I went with the CK3510se and really have been impressed and pleased with it. Did a one year review and showed some add ons. Check it out if you get a chance. Really like the led light bar you put on the front grill guard. Subscribed to your channel, looking forward to more videos.
Thanks! I appreciate it. I’ll go check yours out now.
Use the ac compressor intermittently in the winter to solve the fogging issue
Thanks, ac is always on in this machine for that reason.
Splicer Designs has a video installing led lights on a 2610. He did a really good job.
I have my lights on now, there is a couple videos both of installation and using them working in the dark.
Thanks
Welcome
My NS 5310 did that thing with the 3point I added to the hydro fluid and it never did it again.

Thanks, I’ll check it again but it was good last I checked it.
whoa whoa whoa that's a '70 fastback Mustang 🐎!!
Oh yeah, my grandpa bought it new for my grandma. I’ll have it back on the road again someday.
Try. I know this sounds dumb, turning on the AC then put the temp setting to hot and your windows won't go up. It remove the moisture from yhe cab just like in the summer! Give it a try, I have to do it my skidsteer for a bit then can switch it back to just the hester.
Doesn’t sound dumb at all. I use the ac all the time or it would be fogged up all the time. 👍
Good overall vid !!!! I'm looking for my first tractor , to do various tasks , including plowing . My question is , do you run a field plow with yours , i was told this week i should not run/buy a hydrostat for plowing , but old style gears only , as the hydrostat won't take much and will fail if you plow . I have narrowed my search to Kioti , but dealer is long ways away -- TYM dealer is close , do you know anyone running TYM and if they hold up over time . I have definetly got the wrong job , :) --- Awesome Garage !
Thank you, I pull an old 2 bottom ford plow with mine and haven’t had any issues. I use low range when plowing. It does put a load on the tractor but doesn’t make it struggle at all. I have plowed in hot summer weather and haven’t had any issues with heat. I’ll be making another video on it in the future.
You need to run the a/c so it doesn’t fog up, mine doesn’t automatically turn the a/c on when I hit defrost, like a vehicle does. I have the nx6010 hydro
Thanks, I always run the ac. If I turn it off can’t see anything unless it’s hot outside.
I don't get the hours thing with tractors. I keep seeing videos of guys who say they have had their tractor for a year and have 50 or 100 hours. HOW? I had my CK 2610 delivered at the start of October and am at 165 hours now. We are only seven and a half acres with llamas and goats. There has been snow to clear, but I just cannot imagine having this thing and keeping it parked for a whole day. Too useful! Also, your illumination pattern is weird. I see a lot better at night. Don't know if you could get the lights sorted out on a warranty, but those cat's eye spots on the ground are pretty extreme. Good luck as you carry on! Great video! Thanks for taking the time to make it!
Thanks, totally agree on the hours. I’ll have the led lights on it soon so I’m not really worried about it.
They like "paying" 125$ an hour "renting their tractor " for 7 YEARS. "Twack-tor home-lowners " are not very smart. The "FREE-c-v-d" money Enticed 120% MORE "new-be's" that like doing "50 hour reviews " in 10 months= "dis wal pay fer itself". Case in point: This Fellows vidio is NO "Phony-Bull-loney"; reason = he USES HIS.
same here i have to get below 50% of the cost of a contractor to break even as a tractor will just not out do a specialist machine with a great operator - for me that is over 800 hours if you include all the annual service costs, parts, tools and consumables (grease, grease, grease, grease and some oil!)
Maybe you could get your dealer to give you a demo tractor while yours is in the shop for repairs.
I kinda doubt it but I might be able to demo another one, who knows.
Last Friday my new tractor went in to the dealership for 1st service, it has 77hrs on it.
This morning I received a call, thought they were going to say it's done, on its way home. Nope!
They found a problem, unfortunately it's deep inside, he said they have to...
....Split the tractor in half.
It's a Kioti DK 4720, I bought it new last year, question is, how upset should I be?
I just bought a brand new CS2220 little guy. It has a very hard time starting in the morning.
Mine starts very good on cold mornings. Have you tried cycling the key a couple times so the glow plugs run longer? Might help.
@@workinonitsteve I cycle the key three times and have a pan heater.
@@joshuaanderson8684 dang that should start right up, have you talked to the dealer?
@@workinonitsteve take a look at the video I just posted today and see what you think. I posted it to TH-cam.
I need to purchase the proper socket wrenches for my DK4710se. Do you know what size the lugs take and any other sizes or extension lengths I might need? Maybe you could recommend a brand?
I’ll have to look tonight.
My lugs all take a 24mm socket. I would recommend a 6 point socket, 1/2” breaker bar and a 9-12” extension. You can probably get by with just about and brand tool for this purpose.
@@workinonitsteve Okay, thanks.
How big is your barn ?
40 by sixty, but not big enough. Looks huge in this intro for some reason.
I have a 2018 Kioti ck2610 at has 1500 hour on it
Nice! How do you like it?
Wow 1500, I don’t see a lot of people online with a good amount of hours on their Kioti Ck tractors. 180hrs on mine
Thanks the dealer seems like it has to be part of the equation especially in you put many hours on the machine weakly
It definitely helps. Glad you liked the video 👍
fuel, grease and tighten bolts - every 8"ish" hours. stuff doesn't come off. I know the few bolts that come loose regularly. Dealer is everything mine is awesome but it costs money to fix stupid things you do and I've done a lot!
Exactly same here, I just try to get through the day without screwing any up. If I get something done in the process it’s a bonus lol.
A light bar on the roof let there be light
are you sure you have had that a year... sure looks awfully clean. HaHa
Yeah it cleans up pretty good working in the rain. You should’ve seen it in the summer dust.
I won’t a 1000 or 2000 review
Check my video tab, I just did a 500hr update and I currently have 608 hrs. on the tractor. I'm not sponsored so when i have an issue ill definitely tell you about it.
