    CK25 HST push power problems…

    You would not by chance know where both these RVs are located on my machine?

    CK25 HST push power problems…

    I will look into this. Sounds like a good place to start. My tractor has less than 300 hrs. I’m going to acquire a gauge and a line to check the pressure. I don’t think anything is gunked up. I did my first fluid change as soon as the break in period was over. However that was years ago and I do...

    CK25 HST push power problems…

    Thank you for the video. I would highly recommend bew tractor owners watch it. 👍 However this is not the problem I have. It’s really a low gear push that just isn’t making it. I think the best way to describe it is trying to load or work in medium or high gear. The force that you might expect is...

    CK25 HST push power problems…

    It will groan in every range but it will move. High range is only good for traveling on flat ground.BTW, the fluid is not low.

    CK25 HST push power problems…

    Doesn’t matter if I’m in two or four wheel drive. RPMs are up to the red indicator (2600,I think?) And the FEL seems to be strong. I can lift enough to raise the back tires off the ground. Although with a large counter weight on the back I’m not so sure. It has had a problem with low end push...

    CK25 HST push power problems…

    Hi all, wow it’s been years since I’ve been here. I’m having issues with my CK25 hst. I have no pushing power in low gear as I try to feather it on the pedal. It will just blow past or if I manage to keep it engaged it will bog the engine at three quarter pedal. There is just no “oomph” in the...

    How much would you charge....

    My sister-in-law recently bought a new house and a few months after moving in had the misfortune of having an old maple tree, 30 inch in diameter, snap off in a wind storm and crush both her and her daughter's cars straight across the hoods. Since I live only a couple of miles away, I drove...

    Kiotis with cabs...

    Greetings all, Can anyone tell me what Kioti tractors are now available with factory cabs? I know Laurin makes a beautiful cab for the CK but the cost is, well, exciting to say the least, so a trade-up might be in my future.

    IH 384 Battery info please...

    Hi guys, I am trying to help out a friend of mine. He has a 1979 IH 384 and he needs a battery for it. His son had taken the battery out of it some time ago and lost it! (Lucky for him he isn't my son...) When he calls the local auto parts stores they say "Well just bring the old one in and...

    Hydrostatic Chatter?

    Hey guys, I seem to be getting some chatter, for lack of a better term, from my HST. This usually happens when I am running full tilt, in low range, up hill and usually from take off. Some of you that have HSTs may have experienced something similar if you push your tractor too hard in a higher...

    A little something of interest...

    Since all seems to be quiet here I thought I'd post some sketches of the rock bucket with grapple that I have been working on. I was suppose to have this thing going over a month ago but... Oh well, when you have a one year old it's tough to find free time.

    You've chipped it, now what?

    You\'ve chipped it, now what? Okay, all you guys that bought a good size chipper, what do you do with all of those chips? Mulch, compost, sell, dump, or burn? Anyone burning them for heat? If so what kind of a rig are you burning them with?

    Remote fittings...

    Well, I finally installed a set of rear remotes on my CK25 and now I have to have some hoses made up so I can dump my Country Manufacturing trailer (very pleased with it BTW ). Of course I waited until after I had the remotes installed to have my hoses made up. So can anyone tell me what I...

    50 hr. shopping list...

I already have all my filters ready to go. I believe that I will also need... 7 gals. of quality tractor hyd. fluid. 90 wt...

    Slowing the loader?

    Okay, my turn to nitpick. I was just wondering if there is a way to slow the loader down slightly besides throttling back on the engine. I try to run my engine up in the power curve where it's nice and smooth and gives me decent land speed in low range. But I find the loader is just a bit too...
