I have a Kioti KB2375 Backhoe mounted on a Kioti CK25, which has been trouble free until now. When I went to move the tractor out of the shed for the first time this season, I found that most of the hydraulics on the backhoe didn't work. (everything worked fine last fall when I put it away.)...

I'm new to welding, and recently purchased a Forney AT-100, which has good reviews from most users. Please excuse my ignorance, but I'm new to all this stuff. I started practicing using 3/23" E6013, which works fairly well considering my limited skills. Fairly easy to strike an arc, and the...

I recently bought an 05 CK25, and have a question. I grew up on a farm, and am familiar with the potential restart problems if you run a diesel engine out of fuel. I also know that many modern diesels have overcome this problem. How about the Kioti CK series? Should I make sure this...

I feel silly posting this, but here goes. I'm new to Kioti, but grew up on a farm, and have done this hundreds of times on other equipment. I removed the Backhoe today, to allow access to the hydraulic filter. Changed the filter, and am now ready to re-mount the backhoe. First step...

I'm new here, and to the CK25. I just bought a CK25, and have a minor problem which I'm sure is an adjustment. The throttle lever moves fine, and the engine speed responds as expected. The problem is that when I release the throttle, the return spring moves it back to the idle position...

I'm thinking of buying a used CK25, and the original owner removed the ROPS bar. Do any flat-landers out there have a ROPS bar lying around that you're not using that you'd be interested in selling? (Much of my work will be on a slope, so I don't really want to use this tractor without a...

I'm looking at the above tractor, and would like to confirm the approximate value. The machine seems clean, with the exception of a welded repair on one of the rear loader mounts. It has the 2375 backhoe, which is known for possible valve issues. The unit has 1100+ hours on it. I suspect...
