yeah, my sticker is half hanging off.....
Seems a lot of folk have no idea about the gears on a Kioti shuttle. LOL
I use 2nd gear for nearly everything including flail mowing at about 2000 - 2200 rpm max My Flail here.
Rarely use High unless I am naughty and out on the road..... which I shouldn't be. (but hey, country road and the neighbours do it to)
Low gear for all my loader work using 4x4
atcNick did you say what size brush hog you have?

Biggest improvement I did to my CK30 was replace the front tyres with 6 Ply Titans.
They stop all the wallowing when carrying a load in your bucket and feel more secure.
The originals were prone to puncture and rolling off the rim and busting sidewalls.
A bit more expensive but well worth it for me.
They actually have more lugs than the originals as well and I doubt I could ever bust a sidewall in these. They are one tough tyre.

It shouldn't be hard to figure out the speeds of each gear as long as you have the tractor. Just measure off a distance the longer and flatter the better, and time how long it takes to drive it. Another option which is probably less precise would be to use a GPS. Or the easiest option would be to use the built in speedometer on my tractor.

The CK30 has a Speedo and Rev counter
It seems odd the manuals don't have this info. My CaseIH manual lists speeds for all 12 range/gears for each of 5 different tire options. I thought all manufacturers published the info. I remember mine as roughly 1, 1 1/2, 2, 2 1/2, 3, 4, 5, 7, and then they increase in high range up to 19 approximately. That gets me close enough for government work.

Manuals usually do have the info. I know all the kubota manuals I have seen do.
But its ONLY in the manual, and not usually published anywhere online unless someone has uploaded the info to tractordata.

It is in my manual, and a sticker on the tractor also. It is always in the workshop manuals
