I am in the process of converting my manual thumb to hydraulic thumb on my 18klb excvator. I will be using the hydraulics from the hammer function to power it. The only problem is that the pressure is full and not regulated. To buy two pressure regulators for the Rexroth sx14 valve would be...

The loader hydraulic quick connect has a persistent drip. Is there an o ring that I can replace or do I need to replace both male and female ends? I flushed out the fitting thinking some dirt got in there. It still leaks. It looks different than most 1/2" fittings I have used. Like the ones I...

I have a post over in the Kioti owning /operating section for my tractor blowing blue smoke. It has a video attached and I do not no how to move it. Can you take a look at it please and tell me what you think.

I had posted last year that my DK50 se was blowing lots of blue smoke on startup. Sent to dealer under warranty check and they attributed it to bad fuel. I received a $170 bill for that. Now that it is cold outside I started my tractor and it it blows tons of blue smoke for about 30 sec. It...

I have a Kioti dk50 that has a backhoe and subframe. The subframe is bolted at two points on the tracter. It is two pieces. One centered and one in the rear. I would like to remove the subframe when skidding logs with my logging winch so I can pick up alot more ground clearance. Some of the...

I added a second rear remote on my Kioti Dk50se to operate a root grapple. I am wondering if somehow when I operate the backhoe it is crossing over into the other rear remote which I use to operate a root grapple. The reason I say this is because the fittings up front will drip(from the ball)...

I just noticed after having to replace one of my front tires ( 8-16 r1 Dk50) that the sidewall says max28 psi. The manual says 35 psi. Who is correct?

I just sliced the sidewall on my titan hi traction r1 8-16 front tire. Can I put a tube in it? Tractor has 195 hrs so very little wear on the tires. A new one seems to be about $175. What is my best option? What about a different brand? I see that Carlisle and Jetzon seem cheaper than the Titan...

It seems that the backhoe on my Dk50 seems to be lacking power especially on the piston that retracts the boom When I operate the lever i can hear a hydraulic noise coming from the control valve which I do not recall hearing in the past. How do I go about checking to see if the BH is getting...

I was operating my DK 50 with my 2485 bh today in some rough terrain . I broke the tip off one of the retaining pins loosing the snap clip.( pin broke at the hole). The other pins snap clip fell out. I know the snap clips retain the pins but it seems that the pins would be impossible to fall...

I will be ordering a 60" single lid root grapple from EA for my DK50SE and will be running hoses from the rear remote to the front loader. Has anyone done this? Wondering what length worked well and which diameter and PSI hose? I will be buying the hose from Surplus Center.

I have a thread over in Parts/repairs about an antifreeze smell on my DK50 titled pressure testing radiator.. Just wondering if anyone else has a similar smell with no detectable leak?

I have a question on changing the oil based on the hour meter. My new tractor is a kioti dk 50 that has an hour meter that runs in real time as compared to my Massey gc tractor that runs the hour meter based on engine rpm. I hit 100 hours way faster on my Klioti vs my Massey. Yeah I know oil...

I just started getting that sweet smell of antifreeze from the radiator area of my kioti dk50. There are no visible leaks and I checked all hose clamps. The rad is full and the overflow seems to stay at the same level. I would like to get a pressure test kit. Ebay has them for about 60 bucks...

I have a Kioti dk50 that had ball joint failure at 100 hrs. These ball joints are attached to the steering shaft. The tie rod is outer this is inner joint(it is horizontal). Kioti replaced them under warranty. They are over 200 dollars a piece. My question is can I tap them for a grease fitting...

I ripped the small rubber boot on the steering assy that protects the ball joint. I called the dealer for a new one and Kioti does not sell the boot by itself. They only sell the whole ball joint assy. What a joke that is. Anyway, while I had the front end up I noticed both ball joints have play...

I just hit 50 hrs on my tractor and noticed that when I load the bucket fully the front axle seems to vibrate up and down causing the steering wheel to vibrate. It seemed to do this since new. Is it possible the ag tires are causing this. It happens in both 2wd and 4wd. Seems to be worse on...

I still have a choice where I live to either purchase off road diesel which is ulsd or heating oil which is lsd. What am I better off purchasing for my Kioti tractor. It is tier 3 and no where does it state ulsd. It only says diesel. No2 above 14f and no1 below 14f. Ulsd is about 3 cents more a...

Here I am operating My new Dk 50 with 30 hrs and yesterday it started blowing a little blue smoke. Today it blows smoke like a chimney, especially at 2500 rpms. It got worse and I am so far very disappointed with this tractor. I know blue smoke is oil. This is not a good sign. I am going to...

Well I have my new tractor up and running and besides a few dealer set up problems, everything is good. I made a mistake of operating the loader with the rear remote lever in the B position causing the pump to over heat and burning up some o rings. Dealer replaced it under warranty which was...

i might get abused here since i went over to another brand. :laughing: Anyway, I have been on this forum quite a few times for help with my gc2610 over the last three years and everyone has been great. I had the need for a much larger tractor so I sold my 2610 and purchaSED A kIOTI DK50SE HST...

I am looking to purchase a post hole digger for my 38 pto hp Kioti tractor(dk50se). I am going to erect a pole barn and will require either 18 or 24 inch holes 4 ft down. Is this asking for this size tractor to do too much? Soil is not sandy but the first two feet of the dig will be bank run...

Any one here on the forum use Amsoil in your kioti HST? I will be taking delivery on a new DK50se hst and would like to use Amsoil at the 50 hr service which will be pretty quick with all the work I have planned. Salesman stated I need to use factory fluid which I know is not correct nor legal...

I presently own a Mf gc2610 which is a subcompact which worked fine until I moved to 200 acres. I am now looking to upgrade and am considering Kioti because it seems that you get a lot more for your money. I am looking at the Dk45 or 50 se hst. I am not at all familiar with these tractors...

I am looking to upgrade my Gc2610 I purchased in 2011. It has served me well for the 280 hrs on it. I now moved to NH on 200 acres and and would like to upgrade to maybe a MF 1540 or larger. My big concern is ground clearance. The 2610 is seriously lacking in that dept. Off road in the woods it...

I have a MFgc2610 with about 20 pto hp. I came across a used Mackissic tph122 chipper that is 5 years old with little use. I tried to fine a video in operation and I cannot find one. How good does the chipper work? Do you spend a lot of time feeding the branches? I am looking to chip 2" and...

Here I am living in a another state on 200 acres with my puny little gc2610. I purchased the tractor when I lived on five acres and now I regret not purchasing a larger one. Anyway, I dented my oil filter on the hydro trans. going over some rough terrain. Just wondering if it is a problem. I...

Yesterday while picking up heavy loads with my bucket. Probably 600 lbs. I would lose my power steering. It would get very erratic. Once the load was dropped, power steering returned to normal. What would cause this? Thanks

I was pulling some gravel and backblading some dirt and the loader pistons that curl the bucket released and the bucket flopped around. They stiffened up again if I operated the loader control. This happened a few times. Is there something broken?

Don't laugh. Anyone have experience using the gc2610 for hay. I came across this company selling balers. I would like to hay 15acres. What do you think? Mini Hay Balers and Compact Hay Balers | Small Farm Innovators

I noticed lately my reverse pedal is slow to return when depressed ( a little dangerous). I greased two fittings underneath that I could find and sprayed all linkages that i could see. Is it possible I missed something or could something else be causing this?

I read in some previous posts about using the Napa 7089 Hyd filter on a Gc series tractor. Just wondering if anyone has any feedback on the filter from operating with it. I checked it out at my local napa and everyhing checks out execpt the can is a little smaller.

I was out snow blowing with my Gc2610 and noticed some loss of traction with the r4 tires. Do chains make a big difference and if so what brand does anybody reccommend?

My Gc2610 was very hard to start the other the day in the cold. Today I decided to check power to the glow plugs. I disconnected the wire from the bus bar and attached my red meter lead to the wire and the black one to the battery and turned on the key. i am measuring milivolts. Should I be...

I have a MF GC2610 running a Northstar 13kw pto gen. I use rotella 5w40 and normally change the oil and filter at 100 hrs as per the manual. Is it critical that I change it at 100 hr. I just put a 100 hrs on with hurricane sandy. it seems that running the tractor in these conditions would give...

I just dug a trench with my bh and something did not seem right. In order to make a flat bottom trench you need to pull on the right lever and then pull the left lever to get the two actions for a flat bottom. It seems that the right lever overrides the left lever when i pull them, even if the...

Why does my Gc2610 tach not match the 540 rpm? The tach is set up to match the Gc2410 rpm. I can't believe Massey would cheap out and not put in a different tach to match the 540 pto with the correct rpm. Do I have the wrong tach? Should it match?

I think i can get a good deal on Northern Tools 13kw pto gen. I searched and found a little info on these. Is the power clean for electronics and how does the gc2610 governor hold the rpm under the load of the gen? Thanks

Any experience with the !3KW Pto Gen. I think I can get one for a good deal? Is the power clean and is it built well? Thanks

This is my second season using my 60" mower deck on my Gc2610. The guage wheels seem to rattle like crazy. They are well greased. My first season last year they seemed to be quiet. I do not recall any noise. Am I going nuts or is this normal . I mow with the wheels making contact and set at the...

My BH valve is leaking on my Gc2610 from the cylinder in the picture. The cylinder has a plastic cap at the bottom. Does that cap pop out and is there something to tighten undfer it? What is that cylinder for on the valve? Thanks

Is it normal for the backhoe to fall when my Gc2610 is not used for a week. Does this indicate a leak?

Has anyone ever damaged the rear brake arms on the Gc2610 due to their low height? What about repositioning them on the splined shaft to get them up a litttle higher?

I am trying to determine the correct config of the backhoe hyd lines. Which port on the backhoe valve is the return port. I know there are two on the left and one on the right. One hose on the left comes out of the side on the backhoe. THe other comes from under the cover. The third one comes...

I just installed my KK Xb tiller on my Gc2610. When I adjusting it for level it seemed it would benefit from an adjustable shaft on either side of the 3 pt so I could get the tiller to raise up higher. The left side is fixed which is much longer than the right side. Has anyone put two adjustable...

I am coming up on my 50 hr service. My hydraulic system started to vibrate/shudder at around 20 hrs and has gotten worse. It shudders when operating the backhoe,raising the bucket with a load or turning the steering wheel all the way. I know my dealer uses Kubota UDT fluid. I am going to...

I just picked up mny new GC2610 and have a couple of questions. The steering wheel continues turn past its max range. It does not stop like a car. Is something slipping or is that the way it works? Cruise control can not be set to max speed. It also falls off slightly when it is set to the...

I am looking to purchase the 2610 to take advantage of the 0% for 72mos. I have a few questions. Will dealers negotiate price at the 0%? What about pricing on attachments like the snow blower and mower deck. Are the dealer prices good or should I look other places? Any suggestions.
