Alright folks. I am perplexed and I know you will be too. Battery charged. 12.6v. Brand new starter. Turn key to start, solenoid does a rapid clicking, starter does not move Ran brand new main ground and solenoid ground. Trigger to solenoid gets voltage when key is turned. Solenoid...

Trying to find these. Would be grateful if someone could tell me where they are. I have a service manual but it doesn't Illustrate the location... A picture would be awesome since I'm a little slow. :D Thanks

My CK27 has 80 hours and has run flawlessly for the year and a half I've had it. I just noticed 2 weird electrical things. 1) headlight switch. In the off position the lights are on. Key or no key. In position 1 they are off and in position 2 they are on. 2) glow plug light does not...

I have a very small lot and my tractor is mainly used for working my 6000 sq' of garden. Naturally I have lots of backing up to do. I almost go in reverse as much as forward. I wanted to add side mirrors so this is what I came up with. 1987-95 jeep mirrors from eBay, $15. I then...

It might just be me because I am a big horse but I find the loader joystick makes it near impossible to mount or dismount from the right side. This is the side that is easier for me to use when getting the tractor out of the garage. Has anyone modified the joystick to get it a little closer...

Ill make it short. No pun intended. Putting 2 led flood lights on my ck27. All wired up. Turned them on for the first time. Nothing. The + wire was rather hot. I figured must be a bad ground. Go to turn the key on and now the cluster is dead. Tractor won't turn over. Checked...

Hey guys. I just picked up a couple led flood lights that I will mount to my rops. I was inspired by another poster here on TBN. I'm gonna make it so they can be pivoted to face front or back. I purchased a "lighted" switch that I will mount in the panel somewhere. I would have to...

Hey guys. I have a tiny property that results in me needing to make tight turns and reverse quite often. Side view mirrors would make life so much easier. I have been scouring the Internet looking for a good set that would be easily adapted to my tractor. The ideal anchor point on my ck...

I went to weigh one of my giant pumpkins. Curled bucket back as far as it could go. Hooked crane scale up and proceeded to lift pumpkin. Scale went to 900lbs and I had no lift past that. Pumpkin was likely around 1000lbs. I thought my loader capacity was 1150? Wtf? Chris

Hey guys, I have to tie some 12.5 gauge high tensile to eye bolts and line strainers. Been trying to find the correct knot to use online but haven't had much luck finding a picture or video. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Chris

Hey guys! This is my 3 year growing giant pumpkins for competition. Just thought I'd share some pic of my patches. I have expanded a little this year to allow for a couple more plants. In previous years I grew 4 plants, 900sq' each. This year I am doing 6 on 750sq' each. I have 2...

My CK27Hst will be at 50 hours in may. I have not decided to have the dealer do the service or just do it myself. Truth is, I'm a handy guy but not very experienced with engines. It is important to me that I properly learn how to maintain this machine. I have decided to use Amsoil...

I am I'm the process of putting posts in around my gardens for a farm style fence. It will have a fencing material to block some wind and probably 4 strands of electrical wire. One strand is about 500'. So I guess I need around 2000'. Oh, btw. This is to keep critters out. Specially...

I had to move the playground to the back of the yard (200') so I could expand my pumpkin patch. :-). I wasn't sure if this would work but I bolted 2x10 hard maple planks onto the bucket. She was a little heavy but she made it. :-)

What exactly does this mean? Thanks. Chris

I don't know what this weighs but its a huge maple log. 24" diameter. She picked it up like nothing. :-) Chris

little long but it did happen.. Forgot about my CCTV cameras. Unloading the 690 lb King Kutter II from the Montana kioti CK27HST - YouTube

My trip went perfect today. Left Toronto @ 4:30 am. Arrived in Chesterfield Michigan 8:30 and was loaded and ready to go by 9. I did hang out in town until Taco bell opened at 10. Lol Paid my taxes at customs and was on my way. I am home and unloading was way easier than I thought it...

I'm not that great working out lever loads. If I was to get the tractor supply boom pole, how much could I safely and realistically lift with my ck27 with the load attached to the tip? Thanks.

I am planning to drive down to the States and pick up a KK2 60" tiller this week. I just measured my CK27 and it is about 62" wide with the R4 tires. I don't think the KK2 has an adjustable offset. So I may have to cut/modify/weld the 60" unit to have a 6" offset. Or buy the 72" which, by...

I have approval for a 60" tiller for my Kioti CK27H!!!!! I am most likely getting a KK2. I have found a new one for $1450 USD about 150 miles away in Michigan. I am in Toronto. Al the local dealers want over $2000 for a similar product. Feel free to talk me into something else. :-)

I found a near new one of these for sale in my area for about 60% the cost of new with a couple extras. What do you guys think? How does this compare to the Lincoln Tombstone? http://www.hobartwelders.com/products/stick/stickmate-lx235ac-160dc/ Thanks. Chris

So my 50 hour is a little ways off but still, I am a keener and I have been researching and shopping. Canadian tire is about one of the best chains in Canada for automotive stuff. I was in there tonite and they have a section marked "diesel oils" and another marked "synthetics". This is on...

Just a little poll here. For mild steel. Do you prefer smaw or mig and why? Also, if your not shy please state your age. :-) Thanks

Is there a simple way to slow down flow. I am not in a hurry and if I could slow flow down by 20-30% the loader would be a lot less jerky and I wouldn't have to feather the control. Thanks again guys. :-)

Ok, so I'm not totally useless. :-) You guys have really helped me out by letting me know what parts to use. I picked up the stuff today and it went together in a snap. I put a flow control on as well and I can really control the ram speed well. At first I thought the hoses were a bit long...

Yep, I'm a new year baby. Turn 39 today. I got a Lincoln 3350 helmet and a Lincoln shirt. Fr cotton/leather. The Lincoln was the only jacket I found that has a longer length for the larger sizes. Most are 30" long no matter what the size. I take a xxxl and they are 35" long. Pretty...

So my ck27 came with these rear remotes. I have been looking at a hydraulic top link here:http://www.princessauto.com/pal/product/8317901/Welded/Category-1-Hydraulic-Top-Link at princess auto (Canada's equivalent to Harbour Freight) I assume I need the appropriate sized hoses but have no...

Got my Fred Cain Subsoiler yesterday and installed it last night. There were no instructions but it was pretty simple to put together based on the picture online. Here is a pic of it on my CK27. I did a trial run today and i was impressed this tractor had no problems pulling it. Because...

In I thread I started about ballast, someone mentioned widening the stance on the rear tires of my ck27 will increase stability. This is not something I think I will do but how is it done? Also are the tractors shipped from the factory with the narrowest stance?

So I haven't done welding of any sort for 25 years and had never done arc welding of any kind. A month ago I picked up a Lincoln 180 and a tank of c25. I watched a million videos online and dove in. So far I have used up about 4 lbs of .030 MIG wire. That is my entire mig experience. I...

My ck27 manual says the glow plugs heat for 8 seconds and that if the engine is warm I can turn the key over at any time during that 8 seconds. Since I keep my shop heated all the time to 18c do I need to let the glow plugs warm up or can I just turn it over right away? Thanks.

So I picked up everything I need to add ballast to my ck27 rear tires. I jacked up the back end so that I could see a tiny bit of daylight under the tires. I bled the air out slowly and hooked up the adapter to the valve stem. Started pumping fluid in one tire and noticed it was coming out...

So I had the ck27 out for the first time today and played with the loader. With a full bucket of dirt she is a little bouncy. Should I load the rear tires? Thanks.

In the bag with the manual was 4 socket head plugs. About 1/4" npt size only metric. What are they for? Above the right 3ph control arm , dangling down from under the sheet metal is a male and female electrical connector. Any idea what they are for? Thanks so much. Chris

Hey guys. I just wanted to plug the dealer where I got my CK27 from. This is not something I do very often but I was extremely impressed with them. So I have 3 dealers within 40km (25 miles) of my house. I checked them all and had good vibes from 2 of them. The 2 that I liked we're...

Anyone heard of a commercially made or home made "T post" pounder? I have seen the big post pounders online. I was thinking something small. Cheers

So in a couple days I will have my new kioti ck27. I own a honda frc800 walk behind tiller that is a great machine. I believe it has 12" tine diameter. So besides the fact that I have to walk my lazy *** behind the Honda is there any advantages of a 3ph tiller? Can I get a deeper till...

Should I start using a fuel additive from day 1? Been reading about pumps sticking etc. Is there a specific brand that is the favorite? Also, if switching to synthetic engine oil, do you wait till the 50 hour service? I know with my cars the dealers always said to let the engine...

Hey guys. Chris from Pickering Ontario here. I am considering buying my first tractor. I live in town on a 1/2 acre lot. I grow giant pumpkins for competition and need a little tractor that will do the following: 1) Move manure. I bring in 20-30 yards every fall. 2) I need to pull a...

He there! Chris from Toronto here. I have spent countless time online researching compact tractors. Much of my time has been spent on this site reading old posts. I understand from my reading there is some heated discussion on the "Grey market" tractors. A week ago I didnt even know what...
