Any changes to CK2610 or CK2510 for 2018?

[robbiele]

I am going to buy a CK2610 HST if Kioti adds a mid mount mower (drive over) option. Or, I will buy the CK2510 HST if Kioti changes to independent hydrostatic pedals rather than the rocker pedal. I prefer the 2610 but will get whichever happens first. Anybody have any insight on these potential changes/additions by Kioti?

I messaged Kioti on Facebook and asked if they have any new models coming out. I was told they have not announced any new models but are constantly working to grow the company. Not sure if they have any plans for changes within the current models though.

Robbiele, why don't you like the rocker?

I am just familiar with independent pedals because that's what I currently have. It just doesn't feel natural to me. The CK2610 already has independent pedals.

have you tried leaving your foot on the floor and use your toes to press the pedal, same as gas pedal in auto! Use only heel for revers.Do not put whole foot on pedal!

No, I haven't really experimented much with it because it just felt all wrong to me and I didn't like that its in the walkway. Just my opinion.

I spoke to my local Kioti dealer today and they reveal the new stuff to them first part of November. He said they reveal little to nothing to anybody prior to that although he said he understands that they will reveal a zero turn mower (which I have no interest)

Zero turn?! Hmm... hope it has 3 ranges lol
