Kioti CS2410 vs Kioti CK2510

I think you made the best decision in going with a bit more size and power. Other than the 50 hour service, I doubt that tractor will see the service dept at all for a long time. Well done stcroix

Great choice. look at how nicely the front bucket is designed for holding a heaping of material. These are not the Kiotis of 10 years ago, Kioti has come along way, and surpassed many in design. They have listened to their customers and added features without big cost increase. They are trying harder, and smarter, and delivering a better product than in years past. Glad you went with the bigger frame tractor, you will be very happy a year from now. If you get a chance could you post a picture of the hood open, and the injection pump, and regenerative arrangement of the soot collector. Thanks!

My opinion, I think the older model CK, DK series came with a lot more standard features than the current models in the 25-35 HP range, Not less.
Personally I like my 2001 model DK 35 better than the newer models I looked at in the same HP range.

DK35vince, Examples, and comparisons? Thanks!

The newer model 35 HP I looked at where more comparable to the standard L series Kubota than the Grand L's like the older model DK's were.
Many features are now options, rubber floor mat, draft control, rear remotes, extendable lower link arms, Etc. Etc.
The older model DK 35 came with all that standard equipment.
My 2001 model also came standard with a mid PTO.
You now need to move up to the NX series, 45 and up HP to get into the more full featured models last time I went and looked at the new models a year or so ago.

Thanks! DK35 I hate the newer regen arrangements. Rubber mats should be standard.

Yeah, the old CKs were also more deluxe, like the Grand L Kubotas.

With the new Kioti and soot-cooker exhaust, the fuel tank is now behind the seat, which makes
any backhoe attachment stick WAY out back. If I got a new tractor, that would kill the new
CKxx10s for me.

I would need to move up to the NX series to find a newer Kioti that would interest me. (cab of course, I'd love to have a cab)
But my 2001 DK has been so good and so problem free I think I will just keep it. Plus its been paid for for years.

All I can say, Vince, is don't go to any AG shows to lust over new machines. I hear ya on
the NX's.

I have no plans to replace mine either. It has been great, and I have customized just too many things....

....and your good experiences helped to convince me to go Kioti over 12y ago.

I got a price of $15500 for the ck2610 hst with loader, it could do a 5 foot cutter.

Hi, I understand that your post was 10 months ago, but what
dealer gave you that price? I am looking at CK2610 right now and they are $17,150.

I want to check your dealer.

Thanks,
