Thank you all, this is some good information here!

Dumb question...ready for it.......Where is the darn hydraulic glass or dip stick? Where do I look to make sure it is full? I read the manual and didn't see where to check it.

If it is anything like my ck27 look on the left rear.

Yeah, same place on my DK35se.. rear of tractor, on the left. Fluid is very difficult to see unless very good sunlight. We can't say for sure if your is there though, as you have a new model.

What gets me, nothing in manual about it!

I laughed at the changing hoses every 2 years too, yea who does that!?

I have 12.9 hours on it now and still amazed I got it. Have move tons of wood and dirt so far. Once I get time to resize all my photos or open a photobucket account I will post more pictures for you all in another thread.

I took a peek at the CS2610 on the Kioti website and the video they have of it working, it looks like the hydraulic dipstick is a little lower down than the one on the CK27, but it appears to be in the same location, more or less.

Doesn't hurt to keep some of the relays on hand. That's the only problem I've had with my dk50se is relays, I've only replaced one so far but numerous times I've had to wiggle the connection or tap on the fuel relay to get it to start. The relays are pretty cheap and when mine fails finally it will be a day i really need the tractor and the parts stores are closed. My tractor sits out more than id like so that may be part of my issue. The ignition is garbage to as mentioned, mine still works but I've had to oil it in gonna pull out a and clean it up if I can put else replace it. Also check your coolant lines, the house clamps on the radiator hoses are junk I've had 2 leaks so far, tightened them up, I'll see if they come back.

The ignition switch - I did not maintain the one on my ATV. Consequently, the little sliding cover stuck open - there is a "brand" of wasp here that deposits a material like pine pitch in tiny cracks and I guess, their eggs also. In any case, a wasp got to my ignition switch on the ATV and now my key is permanently mounted in the switch. I shoot a healthy shot of WD-40 2X annually in the tractor ignition switch and double check to ensure the little sliding cover works properly. Remember - - grease is your friend.

Watch out for the rad drain tap. Mine worked itself loose and I lost about a quart of coolant. That tap should be on the lower corner of the rad on the right (when you are sitting in the seat). Although with mine I can check the oil without opening the hood, I open the hood anyway and check the alternator/fan belt and coolant level.

Right rear- little dipstick, check and fill here. ALL fluid levels can be checked from the right side of the tractor and all caps/plugs are orange.

Where did you get your CK3510?
