After digging up a few stumps with my backhoe (2365) on CK30HST and beginning to fill in dirt with front loader, I heard an ugly hissing sound from the hoe control station. Looking back there was hydraulic fluid spewing from under the controls. I immediately shut down the engine and was able...

Over the weekend I was running my CK30HST, turned it off and left the keys in the ignition to do some work off the tractor. I think the key was in the off position but it could have been in 'accessory' position. About an hour later I go to start it back up and it won't turn over - dashboard...

I have CK30HST with the KL130 loader, 140 hours without any trouble till now. I was spreading some mulch in the float position when I went to take it out of float and raise the loader when the stick went loose. Pulled the boot off the base of the stick and noticed that the linkage had pulled...

After much debate, I finally made the choice and purchased a CK30HST w/FEL and 2365 BH . It got delivered a week ago and I've been so busy using it that I already have 10 hours on it without even lookin in on TBN. After digging an embankment out with the FEL, dragging brush and logs into piles...

Any word from Kioti what the second quarter financing deals are? The website still has the deals ending 3/31.

I am planning to put in a 650 ft long driveway. I am currently exploring the various materials available in my area. One of the resources am using is: Edward Levy I would like to put a good stable base of 21AA crushed concrete, slag or limestone 6"-8" deep. My questions are: Has anyone...

This is my first post to TBN after lurking for several months. This is a great resource for information and I would like to thank the regular contributors for the information I have already learned. Here is my situation: We are in the process of purchasing a 13.5 acre parcel that we plan to...
