I'm doing the second oil change on my CK-20HST. I did the first change myself and had a friend watch and double check my work. I do not recall seeing a gasket on the oil pan drain plug. I do recall that the drain plug was remarkable easy to remove though. There was no leak. On this go...

Well, thanks to the good advice you folks gave me I wound up have Upper Valley Tractor install a 2465 on by Ck20S HST. I can't say enough good things about Dave and his crew. They accommodated me with a same day quick turnaround and did an extremely professional install. I couldn't be happier...

Having exhausted myself considering alternatives to the purchase of a backhoe for my CK20HST I'm moving into purchase choices. Closest dealer is new and is not what I consider a tractor dealer(Snowmobiles, ATV are their main focus). All other dealers are a good drive away. So the first thing...

Going to do the 50 hour oil change today. Engine oil already done. The tractor hasn't been used for a few weeks. Would it be better to warm up or just do the change as is? I realize with an engine you want to put the contaminated in suspension, but with the hydraulic fluid I'm thinking all...

Recognizing one size doesn't fit all, I perhaps over thought the oil change out. I cannot find a local source for the owners manual recommended oils. Tried contacting the regional rep. no response. One dealer within 2 hrs doesn't change fluid, only filters. The other is new to Kioti and...

I will be picking up the blower this week. The dealer is quite a distance from my home so it's really not practical to bring my tractor to him, although that would have been my first choice. The PTO will apparently need to be shortened. He said I would be okay if I had 21 " from the back of the...

Not being one to tread where someone else hasn't gone before. I thought I'd ask a few questions about this combination. I will be picking up the blower this week. The dealer is quite a distance from my home so it's really not practical to bring my tractor to him, although that would have...

I have to make a decision between two very different trailer types for long distant then local transport of a 2200 lb compact tractor with FEL. Eventually a backhoe may be added. Total load about 3800 lbs. Have decided on an 18' so that I have flexibility with balancing load. Also decided...

I recently acquired a CC Series 2000 AGS2140 with 190-303 snow thrower. Appears well maintained. Had 54 hours on the, I assumed, rebuilt engine. Was cautioned to go slow and thought I was but apparently, not slow enough. I smelled something in the first or second hour. I went slower. I got to...
