CK3510 on my mind...

Jacksonvly · May 28, 2019

Kind of kicking myself in the backside here over my tractor purchase last year.
I researched intently and settled upon the Kioti痴, I知 convinced they are the best compact available.
I went 2610hst as I was convinced the emissions equipment was bad news.
I like my machine, But I find it lacking in grunt pulling hills at my mtn house.
I went today and drove a 3510. The increased performance is readily apparent as is the refined engine noise or lack thereof. After viewing more videos and reading here, I see the worrisome posts regarding the emissions equipment is unwarranted, at least for me.
Sometimes you have to pay for your mistakes, my time is due I guess.

I am currently looking at a 3510 myself. Will probably go for it by the end of the week.
As I was comparing the step up to a 3510 is not much and it's about 10 HP more. The emissions stuff is here to stay and really the right thing to do for the environment. Dealer I have been talking to said the 2610 is also popular. Maybe you can get a decent trade in/trade up? With low hours they seem to hold their value really well.
You may always find you need a larger tractor. The trick is to find the right size and HP for what you need to most

I traded up from a MF GC 1720 last fall to a 3510. I was shocked by the difference. I know that it is comparing apples to oranges, but it was well worth it. So far it’s been a great tractor. One regen cycle complete with no problems. That was something I was really worried about too before purchasing.

That didn't take long. Must have really liked the upgrade. Good for you.
Did you trade in, get a fair deal? Did you go big enough? Next you'll be wanting a DK. Haha.

I also ordered a CK3510SE today. Should be ready in about a week.

30+ PTO hp will be all I ever need. Like I said in my first post, the increased power and refinement is immediately apparent.
They have a SE in stock, it has nice features but I really don’t need them, I was very content with the 2610 but for the power on hills.

That SE is NICE.

So, the dealer called me back. He has his orders delivered for the year. If I want it, it will be $750 additional freight. I passed. Stick with 2610 for now.
