Did my oil change last night and after quite a few in/out cycles, my two drain plugs are starting to get a little rough around the edges. I'd like to get two new plugs and replace them both on my next oil change, anyone know the size/pitch of the oil drain plug in a Kioti NX? I think it's...

Well, not too thrilled I have to do this, but I'm about done replacing the compressor in my NX. I can't really blame Kioti, I lost compression and think I got dirt in the system. For those with an NX, look up, above the fuel tank and make sure your lines are well secured! Mine fell onto the...

Anyone happen to have a cross ref for the front and rear wiper blade on an NX? I'd just like to order a set and it's such a PITA to order Kioti parts, I wondered if someone knew a Bosch/etc that would fit?

Had my 8M for about 3 years now and I'm having a problem with it where the clutch is jumping out before the tractor really gets loaded. Took it apart today and the two plates that come together are rounded, that's why it's popping out, as the torque rises, it'll ride up and over. I found the...

My new to me mower (man, do I love it!) has "sticky wing" syndrome. It's a single action cylinder on the wings and often I need to get off the machine to pull them down. I did some reading, everyone says "it's the PTO shaft" that gets bound up. So I lubed it, and then today, I pulled it...

I've got hose reels in a lot of places around the property, and, on most of them, I leave them "charged" all the time, so I can just pick up the hose and go. Well, last night, another one of my lead in hoses gave up the ghost (which is always a mess) and I'm wondering what else I can use that...

Sometimes it's great to be wrong though. I've always thought of fuel additives as a good way to burn up money at a high rate of speed. Well, no more, count me a believer. My ZTM was surging badly, I know exactly what the problem is, dirty carb, but I just didn't feel like tearing it apart...

Anyone have any info on the DRL-072 seeder from Tar River? I've never heard of them, it looks decent from the pictures and the price is great for a drill (under 4K). It's not no-till but I absolutely need no-till for my application, min till would be fine. Anyone have any other Tar River...

What a great machine. Sorry, just had to start with that, but man, this is a great piece of equipment! Anyway, I'm pretty sure I know how to do this, but wanted to check and see if there were some tips/tricks. I'm getting some gouging on the wings (skid shoes) when I mow. The center section...

So, I finally got a BW12 for my NX6010. Great machine, and seems like a good match. You know it's back there, but there seems to be plenty of power. I can still run the machine faster than I want to go (bumps, ruts, etc) and not run out of power. Loving the cutter, it's very, very nice...

Well, here's a crazy request. ;) I'd like to buy a SSQA plate for my FEL that has 3PT connections up there to mount a 3PT implement on the front of the tractor. I can hear the heads shaking now, but, if it's not too pricey, it would be pretty darn useful for some implements (like my landscape...

Well.. I finally broke down and bought a batwing. Found a great deal on a used one (about 1/2 of new price) and pull the trigger last week. And now I'm spending this week kicking myself in the a** for not doing this sooner! First off, let's talk about the application; I'm mowing about 25...

One for sale in SC. I cannot believe the price, pictures look good, the dealer must not realize what he has. I looked at these before I bought my Baumalight cutter (which was 5K, it's a great machine, but the Brown Tree Cutter is considered "the best"). Selling for 850, pictures look good...

Sigh.. What a mess. Been through 2 sets of bolts already and still don't have the 3rd rear remote installed. Looking at the Kioti literature, for the 3rd rear remote, they specify part number TE14-0015A as the correct part. Unfortunately, that part appears to be made out of unobtainum, no...

Well, my "free" disc finally found it's way home to the owner and now I need to get something to replace it. I was thinking of getting another disc but most of my work is small scale, I can't get the disc really rolling anyway and my biggest plot is maybe 1/2 an acre, so was thinking of going...

I think it's a HT101 or 131, not sure, it's pretty new though. Went out with it today and it worked fine, but then went to collapse it and it was REALLY hard to move. Pole isn't bent, I didn't drop anything on it (this time!) and its straight as an arrow to look at it. When I the locking...

I can't seem to find anyone in my area (Gaffney, SC) who has a 20' section of 15" culvert. Where do you guys buy this stuff? Tractor supply doesn't have it but can order it; however, the shipping is really high. Just looking for a good source before I waste a lot of money.

I've had my new blade for about a month now and I think I can provide some commentary on it now that will help others. I ordered from Iowa Farm Equipment, ordering was easy, delivery was prompt. Pretty nice process all the way around. Total price was about 2800 bucks. It's an 8' blade and I...

I've got an F150 and am considering getting a 14K dump trailer. The F150 is rated, the way mine's configured, for a bit less than that (12-13K, IIRC), so I'd keep it under full to stay in range, but then, start doing a little more digging and realize that's only with a weight distributing...

Does anyone make a really long (16'+) bumper pull 14K dump trailer? I'm thinking I'd like to get down to a single trailer that can carry my tractor (NX6010) as well as serve as my run around trailer to pick things up (which are sometimes long) and, of course, be a dump trailer for bulk...

Looking for some ideas on a rear blade. I have a few miles of trails that I need to maintain, the box blade does a great job for the most part, but it leaves the trails dead level side to side which makes rainwater pool and cut channels. So I need some way to crown the trails and I was...

Argh. I cannot catch a break on hydraulics. As the weather has gotten colder, I'm starting to hear more noise in the hydro system, especially when the fluid is cold. Started it today and the FEL was moving like it had a case of palsy for the first 20 mins or so. Check the hydro oil, looks...

I'm thinking about adding a scrape blade to the family of implements and I'm wondering if it makes more sense to just get a 3pt tilt kit rather than pay to have that adjustment (hydro) on the blade. I don't think I can get as extreme an angle using a 3pt side link, but, at the same time, I...

I'm posting this as an FYI/help to others. And some long time members here or those with more experience are going to shake their heads at how stupid this is.. But, here goes. My NX6010 has been great, but whenever I'm using a PTO driven implement with the PTO on, the tractor feels like it's...

This is a "for fun" post that I thought might resonate with some. My first tractor on my new farm was a Kioti NX (2016 model) that has a DPF/regen. It smells like a tractor, I'd been away from the land for a long time and when I first started it up, I thought "man, I love that smell". But a...

I lost some hydro fluid on my Kioti (no fault of the machine) and rolled down to tractor supply about a year ago to top it off. Put in about 4 gallons over time (leaking hydro on an implement) and.. Well, the hydro just didn't "sound right". When I moved the wheel to full lock, it complained...

Went to look at a B26 for sale today, very nice little machine! Really impressed with the digging, it's not a 3 ton mini-ex, but it digs way beyond it's weight class! Anyway, one thing gave my pause, the hydro was really noisy on it compared to my Kioti NX6010 (the only other hydro tractor...

I know, and I've read them, but I'm wondering if the entry of Rural King into the market changes the equation at all. I already have a 60HP cabbed tractor and while I could just got an get the backhoe for it, I'm not too keen on taking it on and off every time I need to use an implement on the...

Well, this is new. Was bush hogging and got in too deep and couldn't get the PTO disengaged or the deck up fast enough and stalled the tractor from about 2K RPMs. No bad noises on the way down, just an overload condition. I've had this happen a 2-3 times in the past, no problem. But this...

For those who are following along, my search for a PTO mulcher has finally resulted in a purchase of.. Not a PTO mulcher. ;) After a bunch of research, I spoke with Baumalight (about both their mulchers and their rotary) and settled on the Brushcutt. I got the Brushcutt last week and was...

So, I've been having a strange problem with my 6010, it's very random, but it seems to be related to load/PTO. Starting off, the symptom is that sometimes the hydro "jumps". It's hard to describe, but it's not smooth, like I'll go front/back and it jerks a little before it starts to go...

In case this is helpful to anyone, there was an error in a spreadsheet I used for the fuel filter, these are the filters that I purchased and installed in my tractor, so I know they fit, if nothing else. Oil - 5.6Q, Rotella T6 5w-40 (Tractor Supply) Oil Filter - E6201-32443 Air Filters (2, one...

Anyone have/used a PTO powered mulcher? I have a lot of land I'd like to clear, and while I can rent a skid/mulcher combo, it's mighty expensive (close to 4K/wk). I was wondering if anyone made a PTO powered mulcher that would work, I'm sure it won't be cheap, but, compared to the rental...

Did my 200 hr service today and went to change the air filter. I have a Wix 46489 and 46490, a smaller and bigger filter that "nest" together and fit into the space correctly. The filter I pulled out did not have an "inner" filter, just the bigger one, it was empty in the middle. I put in the...

So, I have what looks like a tree farm in my front yard, and I've tried a few things to make it easier to mow, but, somebody else must have this problem. There's got to be a good attachment to make this easy. Total area is about 10 acres. All the trees are in rows, which makes it easy to run...

<Sigh>, glad that week is over. I grew up in the country and kind of knew what to "expect", my wife did not, and it's always been her dream to live here, but we just had a rough week of "problems with the country" that took it out of me. Reminded me why I left, even though I don't regret the...

I'm thinking of starting to sell some of our extra crop at our local farmers market, nothing too elaborate, but, I'm wondering what to put in that stands the best chance of being sold well at the market. We're putting a large wildflower field this year, so I was thinking of selling cut/local...

I have a 16" Everything Attachments single bottom plow that I'm pulling through some rough stuff (clay, unbroken ground) and I can't keep a shear pin alive for more than a few runs through the field. My tractor is 60HP, 4WD (although I've been in 2WD trying to "spin" before I break it, doesn't...

Have a occasional problem on my 2016 NX 6010, probably happens about once every 10-20 start ups, can't seem to find any rhyme or reason. Start the tractor, and then, some time later (usually within 60 seconds) a belt will squeal. I think it's the the AC belt, because, I've never had it happen...

I have a few ideas on how to do this already, but wanted to see if anyone had some better ones. Want to put my wood on pallets so I can stick it with my forks when I need it and move it up to the house, but keep it out of sight when I'm not using it. Also, want to cut down on the number of...

I have a 72" rotary, but I have a lot of field that I'm mowing and would like to get a more even cut with a bit less time working the 3PT; I can get the rotary down low, but it's always a challenge to keep it from scalping. The land is almost all tree rows, so I have a ton of trees to get...

I think I have a leak of hydraulic fluid on my NX6010. It's kind of wet in the back near the 3rd function valve and it smells, to me, like hydraulic fluid. A few questions: 1) If it is the 3rd function, where would I see the level dropping? On the transmission lube indicator near the PTO...

My tractor (NX6010) has cat 2 sized pin slots, however, most of my implements are bushed up, they are cat 1 sized. Not sure what QH I should get, a cat 2 or cat 1? I'd prefer to get the bigger/heavier one, but not sure it will work with my implements because they're not cat 2. Or is it as...

I'm in the process of buying my first "big" tractor (60HP) and was wondering how others deal with the fuel for a tractor like this. I'm used to carting around 5 gallon cans; but, I'm thinking with a fuel burn that's got to be 3-4X what I'm used to, that might not be reasonable anymore. My...

What should I expect for GPH on an NX6010 at PTO speed? Just wondering if I need a transfer tank to keep this thing from getting thirsty! ;)

I have a quote from a dealer done last year for an NX6010 cab w/loader coming in at ~38K (with some remotes included). I see Kioti has a free loader promo running now, how much should I expect that to impact the price from the original quote? Also, does that number look reasonable for an...

Need a little help or guidance selecting a SxS. I was pretty much set on the Polaris Ranger XP900 last year, winter came, I lost interest and moved on. Now, looking again, Polaris has a new model (at least to me), the General, with a 1000CC engine and a lot more HP for what seems like not much...

Looking for a 50HP PTO tractor with a FEL to take care of some basic stuff around the house. ~60 acres, most of it wooded, so plenty of mowing/brush hogging work to do. Need the FEL move some dirt around (probably a lot of dirt) to make some plots for gardens and new trees. Going to running a...
