Well, It is time to get the snowblower off my CK2510 and stow it away. I want to place a couple 5/16" weldable grab hooks. The blower is a Kioti front unit model KS54-180FM . It bears thie Kioti brand. I need to locate a good place for both stability and hopefully balance so I don't damage...

Most of my occasions when I move my CK2510 from point A to point B are done at a slow speed. Occasionally I might get on the open road and run over to a neighibors for a simple task. For this instance I run in high Hydro scooting down the road at a fairly good clip. My CK2510 replaced a...

I bought my CK2510 about a year ago and the tractor has about 140 hours. I attempted to start the unit which is kept in a garage that is kept at 40*.. It was a nice day today and the outside thermometers were about 40* . The tractor had not been started for at least two weeks and the engine...

I have a pto shaft quick connect which consists of a yoke with a release button. When working on the snowblower it is very difficult to re-attach the quick connect to the pto drive spline yoke. The yoke goes on the pto drive spline ok it's the relese lock (push button lock) that is giving me...

How can I release the connected hydraulic lines once the system is charged. I cant pop the fitting to release pressure because the two are currently connected. It's a long story how I managed to get into this fix but I was attempting to check on the hydraulic system pressure and had a guage...

I ordered a nice model LT 10 log mill today from Log Mizer. This is just a hobby saw powered by a 10 h.p Briggs & Strattion engine. For $320 in savings i could have obtained a mill with a Kohler 7 1/2 h.p. which is now made in China. I'm thinking the B&S engine is still made in Wisconsin. I...

After 1002 faithful hours of service it was time to roll up my sleeves and go to work. Bob from Michigan Iron said don't skimp on hydraulic fluid so I used a good one. Side note, never attempt to drain hydraulic fluid without a great big drain pan. No problems there and I have religiously...

I'M looking for a used box blade or perhaps a back blade for the CK-20. I suppose a 6 footer would be too big. Any thoughts out there about this rimshot-

I'm starting a small 28' X28' pole barn. I live in Northern Michigan's snow country where live load requirements for truss'se happen to be 70 lbs loads. It blows my mind that engineered plans for pole barns call for simply nailing the doubled 2 X 12" truss carrier to my 6 x 6" Posts. I have...

OK, I just completed my 600 mile maintenance for my CK-20 HST (s) tractor. That means I have cranked on a new hydraulic filter for the fourth time since I have owned this great little tractor. For the fourth time also I get this small but annoying leak at the filter gasket. The book claims...

I noticed one of my backhoe outrigger arm pins is missing a complete grease zerk. Looking at the damage makes the events leading up to this episode obvious. It appears as though the right sized small stone became trapped as backhoe outrigger arm was lifted up and the stone very likely became...

I have a Kioti CK 20 (s) with a backhoe and I have a nice little chunk of wooded property. I need some storage and have decided to make a road back into the woods and clear out a spot for a small tractor cave, I have built plenty of structures with concrete foundations so this time I will do...

I'm thinking about doing a pole building this spring. I have some trees to get cut down an tops burned. With the snow still on ground now is a great time for that stuff. I'll dig stumps out when frost is out of the ground. I'll settle on a size later but let's fiigure something like 28' X...

I have a car trailer that has two 3500 # axles on it with a 5 on 4 1/2 bolt pattern (5 bolt, bolts on 4 1/2" diameter circle) tires are 205 r70 X15 if memory serves me. I would like to find spare wheel at the junk yard and stick an old 15" tire for a spare to limp in on should I ever have a...

Weather and Winter snows are on the way. Last year after blowing tons of snow with my CK-20 (s) I vowed to do something different this year. In my area we get plenty of cold light powder snow. If one has to clear out the drive on a windy day just expect at some point the chute is going to be...

Well, Last year I had to drop off the backhoe on my garage floor. A $6000 attachment deserves a roof over it's head for the Winter if possible. You can only imagine how many times that thing got in the way over the previous Winter however. Sometimes the thought of moving that thing five...

I'm currently doing my 400 hours inspection/maintence on my CK20. I have replaced the fuel filter now for the second time since I owned the tractor. I have found that the large ring nut that secures the clear plastic inspection bowl has to be very very tight in order to prevent leaks at the...

Can anybody tell me how one can tell what the rear axle ratio would be for an '07 Ford pickup truck half ton? Rimshot

If you are into pulling/lifting heavy objects with a FEL bucket you may want to consider strengthening your bucket. The primary purpose for the retrofitting of my bucket was to accomoodate a set of pallet forks. My bucket had been strenthened at the installed hook locations inside bucket (see...

Sorry these pictures are no better than they are but this thing is very small. I was just in he garage sweeping up around the CK-20 and I discovered this small screw head on the floor. It is surely from somewhere on my CK20 (s) HST with FEL and a black meteor snowblower on it because it has...

I know it's supposed to be normal but does anybody else out there get chills up and down their spine when it happens. I'm talking about that metalic rattle that occurs as we use an implement like a rear snow blower and have the PTO engaged. We get the clack clack clack when we step down on...

I have a new KB2465 backhoe on my CK20. The backhoe probably has 20-30 hours of use and the CK20 has close to 80 hours. I have recently done the 50 hour inspection. The backhoe has been greased often and has plenty of brand new tractor hydraulic fluid'. There are no leaks on the hydraulic...

I have a CK20 by Kioti with a FEL and Backhoe. That rig weighs all of 4000 lbs and I haul it on a 7000 # car trailer which is brand new by Continental Cargo. (please see attached pics. I'm nervous about these ramps. I don't see a rating on them and they bowed quite a bit when the tractor was...

I'm helping a friend value estate property and one of the items is a 1990 Case/International Harvestor tractor model 245 and 5 foot mid belly mower. Hour meter does not work but the tractor was used for mowing a large yard only. It's a three cylinder diesel, 21 h.p. that runs fine however the...

I walked into Walmart and picked up a gallon of Shell RotellaT 15W-40 oil so that I would have it on hand when I get to to my initial oil change at 50 hours. I have a new ck20 HST. That should be pretty good oil, right? I see the manual calls for a designation of CC or CD. This jug of...

Just completed my tractor package today by capping it off with a trailer to give my tractor a lift between properties I own. The CK20 is coming with a FEL and Backhoe + a 60" snow blower. I don't believe I will haul everything at one time. In the summer that backhoe will be on while the...

I have a new Kiote CK20 due to be delivered on Saturday, Feb 9th. It will come with a backhoe plus a FEL. I'm from the Upper peninsula of Michigan so we can get plenty of snow. I have plenty of blacktop drive that needs plowing about every two to three days. In the Summer, I will keep the...

Well, today I made my decision on whether I would buy a Kioti CK20 HST with FEL and Backhoe or the tried and tested and smaller BX24. I just typed an email to my Kioti dealer telling him to grab a crate with a CK20 S HST inside and get it pllumbed for a backhoe and FEL. Since I live 230 miles...

A question about the capabilities of the BX24. Here, is a Cl1 snowplow from TSC, Can a BX24 handle this as an attachment: http://www.tractorsupply.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay_10551_10001_34302_______14345|14346|14354|34302?listingPage=true Some say the BX24 can handle CL1...

Well, It's between a Kubota BX24 TLB HST @ about $15250 and a Kioti TLB CK20 @ $16250 or $17250 If I insist on the hydro. You gotta say the Kioti ck20is much more tractor than the BX24. 1: CK20 weighs in @ twiice the weight 2100 lbs vs about 1100 lbs for the BX24 tractor. 2: CK20 lifts...
