I️ picked up my new CK3510SE HC this morning with 72” Sitrex Finish Mower and loader. I️ was loving the heated cab for the 15 mile drive back to some of our land early this morning with temps just below freezing outside. Was definitely warm enough inside I️ took my jacket off after a mile or two.
Tractor had 1.7 hours on it when I️ picked it up and I️ put 6.5 hours on it mowing, doing some loader work spreading 3 dump trucks of top soil and driving another 9 Miles back home. Tractor worked wonderfully and the Sitrex mower did a fantastic job even in some brush that it probably shouldn’t have been in....
Only squawk I️ found this first day was that by this afternoon it was warm enough in the cab with the bright sun to need the AC and although it would blow air with the fan pressing the AC button had no effect-it would not light up nor would it blow chilled air despite trying every combination of blower settings. Is there a trick to this ? It was about 70 degrees outside and I️ would think just pressing the AC button and turning the temp control to cold would be what is required.
Actually there is a second squawk..... my old tractor didn’t have cup holders and not 10 minutes after I️ put my coffee in the cup holder in the new tractor I️ hit a bump in the road that launched coffee all over me and the back window lol. So going to have to work on a shock absorbed cup holder for the tractor.
This forum was key in my decision to go with Kioti rather than the smaller Kubotas I️ was looking at originally. I️ plan to scan in the manual here and post since I️ couldn’t find Owners manuals online anywhere and wish I️ had a copy I️n advance. So hopefully someone else thinking about buying one can benefit from that.
