    Making gas cans great again

    100% - I got rid of all my crappy plastic cans with the EPA restrictive spouts and broke down and paid $$$ for Justrite ( painted galvanized) gas and diesel cans that my kids will inherit. they are safer and pour fantastic, in the long rum they will be cheaper.

    Help converting tractor FEL to Quick Attach System

    Interesting my preliminary measurements looked like the smaller close set holes in the adapter plate might work, I will then have to add those “holes” to the Quick Attach plate in the pallet fork set which lacks them. I have to ask do you recall the style of latch plates you used mine are a...

    Torque Wrench Suggestions

    Beam wrenches are great if they are useable in your application and great quality ones can be found on ebay. I would use and own nothing but if I could do without ratcheting function and length issues. Never having to pay to have serviced or calibrated or do without while they are out for repair...

    Torque Wrench Suggestions

    I own and maintain a small fleet of VW TDI vehicles (5 TDI’s from 2011 through 2015) and when I started dealing with VW’s was unpleasantly surprised with the extensive use by VW’s engineers of torque specifications, torque to yield bolts and one time use bolts. I investigated and concluded that...

    What is in my yard

    Hard to tell from the picture with nothing to reference for size/dimension but that looks a lot like when raccoons or possums hunt for grubs or bugs/larva in yard. I actually observed a raccoon making a kind of twisted round conical depression in my yard at 05:00 while hunting for something (we...

    Kioti CK20S Hydraulic issues

    Thx for update. If you ever figure out why pump failed let us know. I wonder if your dad real caused the problem or was just operating when failure occurred. I did not have backhoe on when my first pump ate itself and fuel cam broke, I was operating in heavy brush (jungle) w/PTO running bush...

    Kioti CK20S Hydraulic issues

    Wow, You are beyond my experience I have only replaced hydraulic pumps, drained system , changed filters, replaced a leaking cooler and repaired a broken FEL control. I would try to contact who ever you bought the pump from assuming they are Kioti dealer if they are unable to or refuse to help...

    Kioti CK20S Hydraulic issues

    I agree I am pretty sure the start of all this was the incident where the lever got pulled back by heavy brush and vines when I was bush hogging a lot and did not hear the dead heading quick enough due to the noise from the engine and bush hog deck. The additional failures I attribute to the...

    What would these 2 parts be called?

    I would show to Bob at MIE, he is very nice guy and very competent, you are luck to be right down the road. I’m with K5lwq I would weld it and use it. I have spoken to Bob at MIE many times and buy all my parts from them but I’m 1000 miles away (my dealer is 20 minutes away and useless at ****...

    Kioti CK20S Hydraulic issues

    Hello, Just saw your post. Just a heads up. I have a CK20hst and am on my 4th hydraulic pump. The 1st one failed and I took to dealer & it was replaced with Kioti paying parts and me the “labor” (machine was just out of Wrnty). The dealer mechanic said the fuel cam was broken and pump was shot...

    CK 20HST needs new tires

    Hello, I’m located in the Mid Atlantic,(Delaware) and it’s time to replace the tires on my CK 20HST it came with industrials which I thought performed great. I have a FEL and Kioti backhoe unit and have done a fair amount of finish mowing and brush hogging with good success and even a fair...

    Questions about replacing equipment trailer deck wood and repainting trailer chassis.

    Yeah, Delaware's trailer tags, registration and inspection used to be cheap and easy & still some exemptions for farming & commercial fishing ( but you have to have proof) then @ 15 years or so ago our Governor Ruth Ann Minner AKA Broom Hilda (she was actually a tow truck driver, later owing...

    Questions about replacing equipment trailer deck wood and repainting trailer chassis.

    Wow, that's almost exactly my trailer less the pintle hitch, tie down rail with stake pockets and crane davit w/hoist, which brings up some questions comments; 1. Did you add the rail down the side with what look like stake pockets for standoffs? if so what size stock did you use? i was...

    Questions about replacing equipment trailer deck wood and repainting trailer chassis.

    Hey thanks, your unit is a little smaller but very similar I like the way the ramps store under the deck mine slide on a rod and flop down but I may just go back to Treated Pine because that what it was designed for 2" x 10" (actual 11/2" x 91/2" fits exactly) my problem is the proximity to the...

    Kioti CK30HST loses hydraulic power

    I was reprimanded for mentioning the dealer who sold me my Kioti and no longer will specifically comment on Kioti dealer policy’s . I will say that I am amazed at the seemingly randomness of dealerships success or lack of it. When I purchased I tried to research and thought Kioti was a good...

    Kioti CK30HST loses hydraulic power

    I don’t know. I did find two other people with almost the same issue, one of 5hem almost exactly the same. They both were repaired and I believe they sold their Kiotis or traded up to a larger model. I also find it interesting how familiar people were with changing the hydraulic pump and that a...

    Kioti CK30HST loses hydraulic power

    According to Kioti serial number decoder its a 2006 ( the serial Number starts with F. This seems odd as i bought new in 2008). The 1st pump failed just out of kioti warranty.

    Kioti CK30HST loses hydraulic power

    I am not sure what is advised for your machine, after my experience with failed Kioti hydraulic pumps I erred on the side of excessive and fully flush all the fluid and changed both filters. The last pump failure I actually changed the fluid & filters twice, the second time after @an hour of...

    Kioti CK30HST loses hydraulic power

    Just saw this and thought I'd throw in my 2 cents. I have had similar issues with my CK20HST (857 hrs), I have the misfortune to be on my 3rd hydraulic pump. My unit has a pump driven off the end of the engine cam shaft, apparently sometimes the cam shaft end breaks and or the pump fails. I have...

    Kioti CK20 HST treadle pedal issue need help

    Ok, Once again Bob at Michigan Iron proves correct. The spindle was freed up to the point of proper function after an additional hour of working the pedal from stop to stop and spraying WD40 at the point where the pedal shaft enters the transmission case. The tractor now drives and reverses with...

    Kioti CK20 HST treadle pedal issue need help

    Just spoke to Bob at Michigan Iron and Equipment and he says it sounds like my dampner and damper spring assembly are sound like their ok and that it is likely that the brake cleaner and PB Blaster are not providing enough lubrication to the shaft where it passes through the casing. It sounds...

    Kioti CK20 HST treadle pedal issue need help

    Hello, I have searched around and apparently a few owners have an issue similar to mine where the HST treadle pedal becomes balky and/or sticky. The solution seems to be a combination of one or more issues including the pedals shaft binding up in the bushing from dirt, rust/corrosion, the damper...

    Hello, My five year old CK20hst with just under 500 hours recently started blowing excessive white smoke. I have run only synthetic Shell Rotella 14w40.
