My tractor has 840 hours on it. It has been getting progressively harder to start when cold. I took it in to the old local dealer. He said the middle cylinder tested lower than the two others. According to him it is a very expensive engine to overhaul. Anyone done it? Advice? Thanks! Dale

My CK30HST has almost 700 hours on it. It started quickly the first two years but has been sputtering and giving black smoke lately. The diagnosis was a bad glow plug. So, I began removing the glow plug bar. What a pain! Three little nuts that would not come off. Finally broke the tip off...

Thought I would share photos of what a tractor is good for in Boise Idaho when we have more snow than usual. The tractor started up good at 27 degrees after not running for over a month.

The glow plugs on my CK30 have not appeared to me to be working this summer. So, this morning being a bit colder, it was quite hard starting. Took it to my dealer. He checked the relay, replaced it with a new one and did not fix it. Traced the problem to the temperature sender on the motor...

Hello all, My CK30 HST has nearly 60 hrs now. 40 billable. Funny how time flies. I do have a question that the Kioti site does not appear to answer. What is the capacity of the 5 ft bucket on the FEL? Anybody know? Thanks!

Hello, Just thought I would put my 2c in here. Purchased a CK30HST in December to use for tax purposes. The flyers and calling cards have been created and are in process of disbursement. So far I have had three calls and am working on two jobs. The third may be mine yet, we'll see how good...
