    Oil & Fuel  fuel solenoid issue AGAIN!

    I go out this afternoon to do a little mowing with my 2006 ck30 hst and it won't start. The lights all work on the dash and the motor turns over. I didn't hear the fuel solenoid engage. Sure enough after pulling it out and hitting the key it will crank. Last year i had the same issue. The...

    Oil & Fuel  water in fuel

    As luck would have it I was getting fuel before the hurricane hits and I got water in my ck30. I had just filled the tractor up and cranked it. I was heading across my property when it began sputtering. Upon further investigation I have found the new fuel had water in it. I had unhooked one...

    Blueberry farming

    Rear Finish Mower  Speaking Greek about RFM

    I bought a used Kioti RFM over the weekend. It is a 72" KMR 03-72. It only needed 1 wheel replaced due to a bearing going out. At anyrate I may try to replace all of them and just be done. After calling all of the tractor dealers in my area no one wants to look up the part or give a price on...

    I think she is dead

    I have a ck30hst. I last used it about 3 weeks ago and everything was fine. I decided today to go cut the grass. It had 1/2 a tank and I topped it off in anticipation of an afternoon of work. I hit the switch the glow plug lights and it turns over but will not crank. I have 67 hours on it...

    steel building increases

    I have been toying with the idea of getting a pole barn or engineered metal building, 30x40x12. After looking long and hard I had multiple sources including contractors not tied to the business state that this Monday a major increase on steel sheeting and buildings is occuring. I kept hearing...

    Another water line question

    We will be building a house over the next few months. I will be having to run 900' of waterline. The main utility line is a new 8"-10" and about 1/4 mile from one of the water towers. A residential meter is 3/4". Obviously getting to the end of a 900' line could lose a lot of pressure and...

    6' or 7' RFM?

    I have a CK30HST what size RFM would be the best? I have 8.5 acres relatively clear with sporadic trees so in regards to getting into tight spaces it isn't an issue. Will a 7' be too much for the PTO?

    Trusses for a traditional style barn?

    Me and my wife have been considering building a barn on our new property this year. She insists on the traditional looking barn (red white trim etc). I do not want center poles and want an open floorplan for my tractor and musclecars. Anyone experienced with designing these trusses? I see...

    50 hour service pricing

    I was wondering what is a good price for a 50 hour service on a ck30hst? I called the dealer and a secretary I suppose stated it was just over a $100. I thought it would be higher.

    loader handle

    I was using my ck30hst yesterday and had been dragging my rake. In the process I'd throw a few roots in the bucket. When I was finishing I went to empty the bucket and noticed the loader handle will now completely spin around like it is loose. Best I can figure is pulling the rake for the...

    adjustment?

    I have a ck30hst with right at 30 hours. I finally had a crew finish putting in a pond and it is now time to play. I have noticed on occassion my tractor will not move when trying to push or pull a load. Yesterday I put my tractor in low, 4x4, at 2500rpm and tried to push a few small stumps...

    Anyone use this "quick connect"?

    Anyone tried this quick connect system? It also has a gauge rod to keep the arms adjusted to the implement. It is about a 1/4 of the cost of the one advertised here.

    Rake  rake gauge wheels

    Is there a website/store that sells a decent set of gauge wheels at a decent price? I won't be using them a whole bunch so I would rather not spend a small fortune. I have debated on trying to build my own.

    loader bucket and load

    How much weight can you pick up before the bucket will bend? I plan on unloading my 800lb plow by throwing a chain around the bucket and gently lifting it, but I do not want it to collapse or something. Am I being to cautious or will it be fine? CK30 by the way.

    good deal on disc and other implements

    I have been checking out the different disc and dealers lately. After looking at the different prices I was resigned to the fact I could only swing for a 6' angle iron standard duty. I kept getting quotes in the $700-$800 range. The steel tubed disc were at least $1000+. On my way to Tractor...

    Discs, discs, and more discs

    Over the weekend I went around to several dealers looking at different 5"-6" discs. There is a pretty good gap in prices amongst the different brands. What I noticed however was the more expensive discs seemed to have sealed bearing whereas the others had cast iron bearings with grease...

    KK implements any good?

    I have been checking around for a 5'-6' disc and 6' landscape rake for my Kioti ck30. Tractor Supply is definitely cheaper than the local tractor dealers by $300-$400 on the disc and $150 on the rake. The dealers were offering the Modern brand. How is the quality on the medium grade KK brand...

    new loader question

    I bought a new ck30 in late November. My loader serial numbers are past those listed for the repair. What did Kioti do different to address the new loaders? :confused: Honestly mine looks like it just has the bolt on plate (repair kit) already in place. I would think they would have...

    I have joined the pack

    After looking and reading up on all of the different brands I bought a new CK30 hst today. With the financing specials it was a mere $11 difference between the gear and hst. $16373 for a ck 30 hst with a fel wasn't too bad IMO.

    Financing  Kioti financing

    I was on the Kioti site and it had 0% for 3 years or possibly 4.99% for 6 years with nothing down. Does anyone know if the CK30 would fall in the 4.99% range? thx
