    Starlink

    Prioritization still exists. Cost is another issue. In early-mid-2022, I needed internet at the place we bought out in the boonies. At the time, you could not buy the dish/router if you were in a service-not-yet-available region - period. I rather desperately needed the Starlink equipment...

    Storing Tractor in Garden Shed (double 3/4" floor)

    This spring we had a "semi-prebuilt" tractor shed installed by a local firm employing Amish workers. They brought in pre-built sections on a trailer and built the entire 12x20 structure in about 3 hours (while still doing very high quality work). We told the local firm that we'd be putting ~5K...

    Opinions on this chain option?

    Lou, thank you very much.

    Opinions on this chain option?

    I've looked at several chain threads, but didn't find a good answer for this -- The cost of really good rear tire chains is a bit daunting, and for my location I cannot justify the cost for the relatively infrequent use (one heavier snow season every 4-5 years in this part of the mid-Atlantic)...

    Rear remote operating lever stiffness - adjustable?

    dusty3030, thanks for in the input. Now that it's daylight, I'll be wandering out to the tractor to take a look.

    Rear remote operating lever stiffness - adjustable?

    Thanks for the thought. Brand new tractor, so unlikely to be corrosion. I'll take a look at the linkage (no cables, I believe, but I could be wrong -- I'll know tomorrow).

    Rear remote operating lever stiffness - adjustable?

    I have a CK3520SE Cab. One of the rear remote levers is *very* hard to get out of its neutral position, resulting in abrupt hydraulic function operation when it is finally forced to move. Does anyone know if there is an adjustment for the stiffness?

    Excellent -- thanks!

    Gravel Driveway - reduce/control aggregate movement

    Should have stated that -- north-central Virginia.

    Gravel Driveway - reduce/control aggregate movement

    A number of different approaches are discussed here. I'm a novice with our gravel driveway (moved here ~1 year ago). Can someone give me a *rough* comparison of costs? I realize costs are highly local, but it would be really useful to me have some idea of relative costs (e.g., asphalt 3x...

    Another Q: Seat back angle adjustment?

    I very much like the "cushy" seat on my CK3520SE cab, except for one thing: There's good lumbar support, but not much for the upper back. I'd like to tip the top of the seat back forward to get more support. I haven't pulled the seat out yet to determine whether an adjustment (aka, bending a...

    CK2610/3510/2620/3520 SE cab dash cover removal

    After unsuccessful searching, I've come here to ask whether anyone knows and/or has pictures or drawings of how to remove the black plastic dash housing on a 26/35/40 SE cab? I've noticed a bit of wetness at the top center of the floor mat that I believe is hydraulic oil. I'd like to be able...

    Buying Advice Kioti CK2610SE HST Cab?

    I was just out for 2-3 hours working on the neighborhood 1.5 mi. gravel road. 25 HP would have done fine for 95% of the work, but there were a few moments dragging a 4-scarifier land plane through *very* old compacted road surface that the 35 HP almost was not enough. I'm sure the same work...

    Buying Advice Cab or no cab?

    +1 on the Broken Anvil Metalworks grill guard -- my wife (a veterinarian) wanted the Coyote face-version :)

    Buying Advice Kioti CK2610SE HST Cab?

    I purchased a CK3520SE Cab this spring. I was planning on a CK2610/20. The 35 HP has handled the work I've done so far, without the AC impacting performance. I have not owned a 25 HP cab Kioti, so I cannot give a fair assessment of whether the addition of AC hurts 2610/20 performance. The...
