fellow ck10 (ck2610) with OUT telescoping lower 3pt links

[orangetree]

I have a 2022(1?) ck2610. I believe this answer would be the same for any of the other CK10 series. I HAVE the telescoping lower links, but am trying to choose a hydraulic top-link length and it's right in-between. I'm trying to determine if the "stock" / NON-telescoping lower links are shorter (I've never seen a pair, I didn't realize the dealer stripped them to install my factory telescoping or I would have demanded they provide them to me).

How long pivot-to-pivot are your stock/rigid lengths? For reference, the telescoping links are roughly 28.25" pivot to pivot.

The ck2610 specs it's 3point lift at 24 inches, which leads me to believe the stock links may be several (4?) inches shorter than my 28 inches?

Thanks!

Telescoping are longer , last tractor came with them and I had to buy a longer top link. When I bought my 2610 I declined the telescoping.

Thanks for confirming. Unclear if this is accurate or not, according to my dealer, see below

Since I'm switching to easy-to-connect quick disconnect "euro hooks" as well as top-and-tilt, I will be fine without the telescoping links. I don't believe I've seen any practical limitations being ~4" further out than the stock, but closer can't hurt.

Longer or shorter both have possible not good consequence’s if the PTO shaft on your equipment is a little to long or short it could lead to expensive damage.

well, my dealer has a pair of fixed/non-telescoping links, ostensibly from a ck10, and claims they are 28" center-to-center. I never volunteered the length of my telescoping arms (also ~28")

On the one hand, this would make sense; there is no reason the telescoping units couldn't be built to the same length. On the other hand, why kioti rates the lift of the 3point to a shorter length than the stock arms ... it should be like "at the bucket pin" I would think.

They are a ways away from me, but hopefully I can make it in to get this cleared up.

The telescoping on my CK27 were definitely longer requiring me to buy a longer top link. When I went back to the others I had to cut the shafts shorter on my flail and tiller.

I bought the shorter one and it worked great. Added pat's quick hitch and had to get the longer one

 

[orangetree]

So both the fixed/stock, and telescoping links are BOTH ~28"

I suppose perhaps there could exist multiple lower lengths of fixed for ck10/ck20... seems less likely?

Your CK27 is a different animal from the CK10 & 20 series tractors.

Link for @Billrog "ck27". TractorData.com Kioti CK27 tractor information. i don't have one so don't know, but that link says sold through 2014 in whatever was "ck20" series at that time. Which could have changed over time for sure.

Mine is a ck2610h, which is a "ck10 series". H for HST. The dealer lot had a ck3520h, which is a ck20. First two numbers are ~rated horsepower - no such thing as 26 or 35 "series".

For completeness, note there are minimal differences between the ck10&20 series. Also the ck10 sku's stopped around 2023.

Only trivial differences between, for example a ck3520 and ck3510, from tbn: CK3520SE vs CK3510SE

https://daedong-kioti.com/pdf/EN/catalog/tractor/US_CK10_Catalogue_202001.pdf --> ck2610, ck3510 etc if this link dies. When i purchased, the 2610 was the only model left with zero dpf, so i compromised a bit and went with it figuring long term i'd be happy. Word was the engine was just detuned from a larger unit - not that power is limiting for most of what i need.

I don't diagree, this naming makes little sense. Why they couldn't use ck1026 & ck2035 ... someone in marketing liked the bigger number i would guess.
