I have a Kioti CK30 in IL 11 acres mostly flat but the ditch by the road is really steep. It is no fun when the rear of the tractor starts to slide sideways and the uphill front wheel gets really light. I’ve given up on mowing it both with the tractor and 2 different ferris zero turns. I let...
I had a 351 Mustang with EFI set up for road racing. One time I spun out on track and after coming to a stop the engine was running bad, first gear was now reverse and reverse was forward. Weirdest thing but the engine was probably running backwards. Shut it off and restarted and all was good.
Also the quick connect couplers for removing the loader are a bad design. They are nearly impossible to disconnect/connect and one of the plastic seals in them broke causing a little plastic piece to be in a hydraulic line which occasionally blocks the bucket curl function. If you go slow on the...

As far as breakdowns or repairs:
Severe: A seal popped out while parked during a severe cold spell between the HST and rear axle which caused it do dump 10 gallons of oil on the ground and the tractor was unable to move. It required a split at the dealer to repair. They had to do it 2x because...

I have a few hydraulic questions regarding my 2006 Kioti CK30HST and New Holland 759C backhoe attachment. Additional info on the tractor - it has a Kioti KL130 loader and I have added one Kioti rear remote that was a kit from the dealer. The backhoe is a new addition and I'm in the middle of...
