    New Kioti NS6010 and loader is not level

    Yesterday I spent some time troubleshooting the loader alignment issue on my NS6010, where the left side of the loader appears higher than the right when viewed from the seat. Measurements: I took four sets of measurements from the ground to the loader subframe mount (where the loader sits in...

    FEL bucket not level (Horizontally)

    I drive mine to a local gas station near me and parked on their concrete pad. For me, I noticed a difference in measurement from the bottom of the loader mount to the frame with the side that was higher having more space between the bottom of the mount and the ground. I made sure both rear...

    New Kioti NS6010 and loader is not level

    I'm going to drive up to the gas station later when I get off work to check it out on their flat concrete pad. I checked it in the middle of the county road in front of our house. It seemed about 1" off but I'm taking a tape measure and tire gauge to check rear tire pressures based on some...

    FEL bucket not level (Horizontally)

    I have the same problem with my NS6010 that I just got Thursday evening and noticed before using it just testing loader movement. I’m also trying to figure out what’s going on since I didn’t expect that on a new tractor. If I find something out I’ll reply here.

    New Kioti NS6010 and loader is not level

    I had a new NS6010c HST delivered yesterday. Looking at the loader when raising and lower it I noticed it appeared to be higher on one side than the other. I could tell this as it passed the brush guard in the front and wasn't in line with it. Putting a level on it I can tell that it's not...

    Stump bucket for 60hp tractor - what length, type is best?

    I am looking at an Ironcraft stump bucket at my local dealer vs a GWT HD stump bucket to order. Overall length is a concern for me as I wonder if the Ironcraft is long enough that it risks damaging the loader more than the GWT stump bucket. What are you all using and how have your experiences...

    Please help me decide - Kioti NS6010 HST Cab Over Kubota MX5400 Cab

    In the end I went with the NS6010 HST cab. I'm hoping for delivery this coming week. I'd been waiting on a Lane Shark 3rd function to come in so it could be installed.

    Buddy seat for MX5400 / MX6000 tractors for kids?

    Has anyone managed to install a buddy seat in their MX series tractor with cab? Something similar to this one on Amazon I'd like to have my younger one ride along.

    Struggling with MX5400 purchase — could get MX6000 for same price. What would you do?

    How about draft control? I’ve never had it but on my current tractor I’d often have the single bottom plow dig real deep and stall the tractor at points

    Need Advice: Buy an New MX5400 That’s Been Crated Outside 8 Months or Go with a Fresh Kioti?

    I plan to park mine inside when not in use, so would prefer not having months of exposure. Several other dealers cycle their stock quickly and assemble units when they arrive or within a few weeks so I just found it odd to be crated for that extent of time.

    Good to know about SOP but the Kioti came in on the truck last week from overseas

    Need Advice: Buy an New MX5400 That’s Been Crated Outside 8 Months or Go with a Fresh Kioti?

    I'm looking for some input as I make a final decision on a cab tractor. I was about to purchase a Kubota MX5400HSTC but when I got the paperwork and reviewed the serial number I found that it was manufactured in March 2024 and has been sitting crated at the dealer’s yard for 8 months. They say...

    Please help me decide - Kioti NS6010 HST Cab Over Kubota MX5400 Cab

    Thanks to all the help since 2016 when I began here. Please help me make a 30 year decision between these two. The Kubota dealer I’m working with is a bit of a dick salesman which led me to look at Kioti and the dealer owner I’m working with is great- gave me his personal cell. Such a hard...
