I had a sub compact kioti CS2410 for 7 years, 2014-2021. It was a fabulous machine and sold quickly for the same price that I paid for it. I purchased a second kioti to replace it, a new CX2510 compact. Both machines had 25 horse engines, loaders and the 60"mmm. The CX2510 went much further...

I had a honda Pioneer and it was a great machine. However, I found that it rode too rough. It only had 5" of suspension travel. I sold it and bought a yamaha wolverine 850. Much better ride and just as versatile for work, but much better on a trail ride.

I had a kioti CS2410 subcompact with the mid mounted mower and it was simply awesome. But I found it to be a little small for loader work so I bought a compact kioti CX2510, again with a mid mounted mower. The bigger tractor is much more capable than the subcompact was. Close to Twice the...

I would try attaching a slide hammer. That's an easy way to give it a good straight pull. Probably not enough room for a hammer in behind the shaft to hit it. And you wouldn't be able to hit it squarely.

The Ford F150 has a tongue weight/load sensor and display option. It won't tell you the weight exactly, it uses the 4 vertical brakes lights to guage the weight on the rear of the truck. It's handy when loading a tractor onto a trailer as it effectively displays tongue weight increase as you...

I usually get 5 to 7 years. And that's with today's new vehicles.

I've cleaned a few dug wells in my time and I used to be a professional well driller and pump installer so I might know something .....or maybe not. Lol. My guess would be that the holes in the corrugated pipe are simply plugged. I've seen tree roots grow into them, I've seen a simple...

It sucks, but I wouldn't risk it. Value wise, dependability wise and safety wise it's better to suck it up and replace the line. Anything else on a hydraulic line is just to limp home or finish something critical. My opinion of course.

It may well be stronger, but I don't think any compact runs the risk of damaging a SSQA hookup. At least not without breaking something else first. And there's no denying that there are more SSQA attachments available new and used the what you have on John Deere tractors. The entire...

For what it's worth, I've had nothing but Kiotis and I've had zero problems with them. Before I purchased my first subcompact I looked at both Kubota and John Deere, but they were both much more costly than the Kioti. Had the subcompact for 7 years before I upgraded to a 25 HP compact. Sold the...

I think Kioti would be number 3 overall. But for me Kioti is number 1. I purchased the CX2510 to replace a much loved but significantly smaller Kioti CS2410. Other than one hydraulic line that failed prematurely, I've had great success with the brand. My search started long ago and originally...

I had a Kioti cs2410 sub compact with loader and mid mounted mower. It was awesome for the 7 years that I owned it and I sold it for the same price I paid for it and then I bought a CX2510 compact tractor with loader and mid mounted mower. Both tractors have performed flawlessly. I upgraded to...

I thought you Americans had 24/7 access to dynamite? Wouldn't you rather blow them out of the ground? Sounds like more fun to me. Seriously, learning to run a mini x is different for everyone. Some get it quickly some don't. In my job I've witnessed hundreds of new and learning new operators...

I made a quick attach weight for my subcompact Kioti so I could do any loader or forklift work without the rear wheels lifting off the ground. I've upgraded to a compact Kioti but I still find it helps a lot when I'm doing a lot of loader work. I've never weighed my weight but I'd guess it is...

I bought one of these, it allows for any ball or pintle attachment and allows me to hook on, lift and move most any trailer without getting off the seat. I modified this unit to fit quickly onto a three point hitch quick attachment. I love the versatility it allows.

To be honest, I'm not sure if Kubota still uses aluminum since the treadle pedal turned me off Kubota before I actually Sat on one. The Kubota tractors that I know are aluminum are the 3030 model from at least 2007-2010. My boss bought 15 of them for a sidewalk plowing contract in Toronto that I...

I can't comment on the 2nd and 3rd on your list. But I do have a 2021 Kioti CX2510HST. This compact tractor replaced an earlier and much loved Sub Compact Kioti CS2410HST. I've had the CX for almost three years and I've had no trouble with it. It is much more capable than the CS yet it still...

Merry Christmas to you and your family Sir.

I have a CX2510HST as well. And yes I feel sluggish when I'm in high range with a bucket full of aggregate. I do think this unit would benefit from a three range transmission. I've heard there are ways to turn the pump up to 35 or even 40 HP. If I find a reputable source of information on how...

I use Rotella T6 in all my non road engines. I think it's a great oil and it's suitable for use with wet clutches as well. I'm by no means an expert on oil, but everything I read about T6 is good. I don't use it in my road vehicles unless I can get a really good deal on it. It's just too...

A 120 volt pump would be the direction that I'd head in. And if your 12 volt pump is any good at all you can sell it to a contractor or excavation company. That's my two cents. Hope it helps

It's a reg ¾" NPT threaded valve. Filling it with water takes 30-60 seconds. And yes it is the best and safest option. I've spent a good portion of my work career dealing with compressed tanks. A hidden propane tank in a load of scrap steel has killed many people, if a shear on an excavator...

The question is only answered when you decide what you want to do with this equipment. Do you want a pto rototiller? Or anything that runs on a 3 point hitch? The backhoe is great for excavation, but how much are you really going to use it? If I was going to go with a backhoe, I'd make sure it...

Propane tanks have a regular ¾" threaded valve on top. Remove it, fill the tank with water and cut away.

I hear you. But the new tractors sure are nice to run.

I have a 2022 CX2510HST with almost 200 hours on it now. This CX Compact tractor replaces a 2014 CS2410HST Sub-Compact. Both are 25HP with a 1.1 & 1.7 liter engine respectively. I felt the smaller machine had more power for size then the current CX does. But I wouldn't complain about it. The...

Atta Boy, we all do great things when we aren't Supervised.

I have had a Kioti for about 10 years and I love it. I only bought a new one to get a larger unit. I've never had any problems or trouble with Kioti. Dealers are another problem altogether. Here in Ontario our Dealers are few and far between when it comes to Kioti. And I haven't met a truly...

We can ALL learn from this. It's sad when anyone gets hurt but it's especially bad when it's such a small child. I guess the good news is that she is alive. It could have been much much worse. My prayers for the Girl and her Family.

I've never had a motor fail on me. I tend to buy Ford only and I run them to 300000 miles before selling. It's my experience that bodies develop rust and corrosion issues long before the motor gives any problems. But my current ford is aluminum and at five years old and 160000 miles it still...

Yes please send me some pictures. I have a nice heatable barn now, but we are considering a move to NB. Might need to buy a house on a large lot and build a new shop. But I'm not sure where I'd begin. I'm looking for ideas. Thanks

I hope you have verified the unit is full of hydraulic oil. Some hydraulic pumps don't survive cavitation well.

Unless you are planning a commercial shop that repairs trucks and or equipment you don't need a 200 amp service. If pulling from the house panel I would be fine with a 100 amp service And could make do with a 60 amp service. That would allow a welder, furnace and compressor to work fine.

I don't need to back anything up when I'm stating my opinion. I respect yours and You respect mine, I just wouldn't expect you to meet me at a certain time somewhere because Im pretty sure I know what you drive! Hahaha. Don't worry about Me I'll bring a book for the wait.

They don't sell as many gas trucks. The lots are full. They are in third place in sales domestically and they offer the best financial deal, Dodge or let's call it what it really is, a Fiat, is offering deep discounts and incentives to sell their trucks. Ford has been able to sell out without...

Cummins is a good engine. Fiat is lucky to have them in their trucks, they wouldn't sell any of them without it.

My experience is very different then yours. I do however like and respect GM trucks, just prefer the style of Ford More

Take a look at any Dodge and Ford dealership. One is full of trucks and one is mostly empty. Considering they cost more, there's a reason for it. Dodge makes a nice comfortable truck, but they just aren't as much of a "truck" as the other. Nicer ride yes, better at being a truck No.

I've never operated the other two makes, but I can tell you that Kioti makes a very good tractor. I purchased a sub compact in 2013, used it for 8 years and 600 hours, never had a minute of trouble with it, I sold it for the same price I paid for it. I upgraded to a compact last year because...

You should upgrade to a Ford. They may cost more, but there's a reason they sell more trucks.

I bought a DeWalt cordless 60volt string trimmer and I'll never go back to a gas powered unit. No gas to go stale, no endless attempts to start it after sitting for the winter and no need to condition it and the fuel for winter storage. My DeWalt runs for almost a full hour on one battery...

My Ford dealer did the same thing when I picked up my last truck. When I got to his office he said that the price had changed, of course I imagined an increase. He told me that his rebate from Ford was larger than expected so he gave me an additional 500 dollars off and when the truck was...

Depending on the cost of course, but a Sea Can works good as a covered bridge as well. You just pour a cement footing on both sides for it to sit on. The only problem with the sea can is the width. Cars and pickups are good but flatbeds and trailers are quite often too wide. Thank you for...

I'm pretty sure Mahindra makes their machines in India. Or maybe I'm wrong.

The kioti CS2410 is the size of a lawn tractor on Steroids. It's very little bigger then a full size garden tractor, but with a loader and a full cat 1 3 point hitch. I had one for 7 year's, it was an awesome tractor. I only sold it to buy a bigger kioti.

For me a backhoe on my tractor doesn't make a lot of sense. Since I utilize the 3pt hitch attachment for the majority of the work with my tractor. But versatility is awesome. And these tractor units sure beat using a team of horses like our ancestors had to. But the question that I'd ask...

I grew up running an Allis Chalmers D14 gas tractor with a D20 loader if I remember correctly. It was a gas job and I don't remember anything going wrong with it other then the new clutch that we had to install. Loader was strong enough to pick up a medium sized car like a Mustang or a Nova. I...

There could be a joke in there about a Super Dodge Guy that is always looking or needing to lighten up the load...... But it certainly won't come from Me! And yes I could have bought a conversion plate to enable a JD to handle my Attachments, but that would have required me to lay out even...

I'm sure this is true. However I've been a very happy Kioti owner for 10 years now and there is a reason that I bought kioti instead of JD. I purchased my New CX2510 compact tractor earlier this year to replace a smaller CS2410 sub compact that served me very well with 0 issues over the 9 years...

I wasn't aware of the kioti ck2610 mmm but I was aware of the larger "Bobcat" with mmm. I test drove it but it was too big as a lawn mower. At least for my yard and trees/branches. Since Bobcat sources their tractors from Kioti I'm assuming these two tractors would be very similar. But I'm...

I've had the same problem. In my area the salt used to keep roads ice and snow free can get into your trucks trailer connection and salt mixed with whatever electrical grease you've used can conduct enough electrical current to fool the truck into thinking there may be a trailer when there isn't...

I have a new CX2510 and it is awesome. I would/could have bought a bigger unit, except that the CX2510 is the largest unit you can get with a Mid Mounted Mower. But since I'm coming from a CS2410 it all seems to be ok and I only occasionally wish I had bigger, Instead of always wanting bigger...

I have a CX2510. Awesome machine so far. I paid 31000 for machine, FEL with 3rd function and the Mid mounted mower. That seems like a great price.

If you're buying a tractor that vibrates at what you say is the optimal range, then you're buying the wrong tractor. Any good operator will listen for noise and feel for vibration and won't run a tractor under those conditions. But again proper maintenance is much more important than trying to...

If a car was the same as a tractor, we wouldn't need tractors. You simply can't compare the 2. Attachments built for tractors are built for an RPM of 540. And tractors are built to deliver said 540. Proper maintenance is much much more important to long life then running at the speed it was...

I believe 540 is only achieved at or very close to max RPM. But I think operating speed is a better description then max RPM.

Red diamond I think. Most tractors have 540 written beside the indicator mark on the tach.

I've purchased 2 kioti tractors since I purchased some land. I have had zero problems with either of them. Ive never owned any other make and my only other experience was growing up with an old Alice Chalmers D14 gas tractor. Me recommendation would be to look at Kioti. Kioti lacks the dealer...

I'm on my 2nd Kioti, traded the first after 7 years and 550 hours for a bigger unit, CS2410 subcompact to a CX2510 compact. I've been very very happy with Kioti. Other then a hydraulic line on the smaller tractor I've simply never had an issue with either. And after 7 years I sold the...

Just purchased a new Kioti CX2510 to replace a smaller CS2410. I thought I could manage with the industrial tires on the new machine. Unfortunately my land has a few wet spots that stay wet until June or July and these tires do some damage on really soft and wet grass with a clay base. If you...

And if you were Really Really uptown, you'd have WiFi in your ManCave/Barn and you'd be able to turn your block heater on using a smartphone a few hours before heading out.

Dealer issues are a big problem here in Ontario. And parts and consumables are hard to find. I would certainly like the Kubota for that. But I have a question for you, is your rear axle cast iron or cast aluminum? I used to run a sidewalk crew and we purchased several Kubota 30/30 sidewalk...

Almost as good as a Kioti. Lol

Most zero turns have the mowing deck at the very front of the unit. Allowing you to push the mowing deck under the tree branches, something not possible with a mmm.

Texans wouldn't stand for that. They'd turn the certificate into a target on a post.

I probably would have just driven away. How are you going to get charged? You paid what they asked for. The world is getting too complicated.

They will load 3 ton, they'll just charge you for 10.

That's the way it is here in Canada I believe. But I believe that most pits, if you develop a good relationship with them, would sell you some aggregate in small quantities for coffee or beer money. Aggregate is tracked, but not that accurately.

If a tractor is slower and it definitely is, then you just install an extra beer holder for every extra acre. Problem solved.

I've had both on my farm, about 2 acres of grass, I only found the zero turn quicker around the trees. And it was easier to cut the grass underneath any tree with low hanging branches. But since I didn't want to pay for 2 machines, engines, maintenance etc, I chose a compact tractor that will...

I'm so glad to have put a smile on Your Face.

I have a grapple that looks very similar to the CTA you have a link to and I love it. TBH I've never tried the other type you have linked but it doesn't look as versatile to me. I think that it "may" be better with sticks and branches, but wouldn't do nearly as good if carrying rocks or...

I haven't and won't be filling my rear tires. I have built an awesome adjustable weight system for the 3 point hitch for loader work in the event that I might need more weight for traction and safety, this tractor is also much heavier then the CS2410 and i simply haven't needed the rear weights...

I would believe that from a Dealer perspective this would be considered highly unethical if not downright illegal to be helping people evade emissions laws. As professionals they could be held accountable. Am I wrong?

Just sold my CS2410. Great machine and it had lots of power, nothing slowed it down. I've just purchased a larger CX2510 and it has a Bigger engine then the CS2410 but an identical power rating. I find this tractor is very slightly underpowered. Not enough of a problem to spend a lot of money...

Curious to see if anyone knows of a way to extract a little more power from a CX2510? I love the machine and it's definitely powerful enough, but it seems like it would benefit from another 5 HP. I know the emissions requirements are such that the engine is kept under 25hp. Any information...

I always plug mine in anytime the temperature is below 40 degrees. Even if it's only for 30 minutes before starting, I idle until it smooths out before driving and I only use 50 to 75% throttle until it reaches full operating temperature, at which time I go to full power. Every engine is...

I just purchased the same tractor. I think I now have 18 hours on it. I bought it to upsize from a kioti cs2410 SCUT. It certainly is capable of more work then the smaller kioti and is only 3 inches wider so access shouldn't be affected. It is quite a bit longer though. My cs2410 was a...

I just sold my SCUT CS2410 Kioti and bought a CUT CX2510 Kioti. The new tractor still has a mid mounted mower, allowing me to cut grass like the old one. It comes with a suspension seat which helps as the old one hurt my back after a few hours of working it. With this new tractor I added a 3rd...

And nut for Nottin, but I'm pretty sure my Dealer doesn't have cool Flux Capacitor rocker switches.

Sorry. My dealer is 2.5 hours away from me. I've successfully purchased switches for vehicles and my side x side. I've never gone to a dealer for stuff like this.

I'll do more research on my own if needed but time is a precious commodity that is always in short supply. I was hoping someone had a definitive answer. I mean, that's why we all belong to this Forum. Helping others is awesome. Thanks

I'm hoping someone reading this can help me. I have a Kioti CX2510 that I just received. When I was looking at the tractor before buying it I saw 3 empty switch locations on the dash with plastic blanks covering the openings. I really liked this as I like to add lights and wanted a switch for...

I would ask what the rear axle material is made of on both tractors. I believe that the Kubota is cast aluminum and the kioti is cast iron. I once worked for a sidewalk plowing company in Toronto and we had 2 Kubota 30/30 sidewalk plows break their rear axles in the same week when the rear...

I've tried every internet resource I could find and come up empty. I have found a limited supply of filters for the CK2510 tractor, OEM filters on eBay, which the seller claims "should fit" on the CX2510 that replaced the CK. My last kioti (cs2410) had a few filters available from reputable...

Done that, no WIX filter listed. I don't think Fram is bad, although I do buy the best version Fram produces. And I'm open to any quality filter.

Hey Peeps. Any idea what the Fram number is for a kioti cx2510 engine oil filter? I love Kioti, but it's hard to get filters for it. My last kioti used a fram 3614. Can't find any information on this one yet. It's a 3 cylinder 24.5HP and I think the motor is 1647 Cc. Thank you for any help you...

I used to be a water well driller and pump installer. I was all for helping you with advice until I read that you have a 3 phase 50GPM pump on 2" rigid. Call a professional. If you drop this pump while attempting to save money, you'll wish you had. A ½ or ¾ HP pump in 1" poly or rigid plastic...

I love Kioti. And I've had very good experience with them. I had a CS2410 SCUT for 7 years and have just upgraded to a CX2510 CUT. Both with loader and MMM. But I do know that Kioti, at least here in Canada, has the very worst Dealers. Not sure what Kubota or Deere are like to deal with, But my...

I'm not trying to say anything bad about Kubota or Yanmar, but I would encourage you to look at a Kioti CX2510 CUT. In my area these Kiotis are about 3 to 4 thousand cheaper then Kubota and 15000 cheaper then John Deere. For full disclosure I have had trouble with Kubota and removed them from...

We're in sad shape if we can’t rely on the same technician that we've entrusted to install a 3rd function, to simply verify correct operation of said 3rd function before he or she signs off on it. If what you say is true then should we be relying on someone else (the dealership)to service our...

Verification of operation of all functions and features of the tractor that you are contracted to sell to the general public on behalf of a manufacturer such as kioti does NOT take a superhuman effort and should be standard operating procedure if you undertake such an arrangement. Your...

I don't believe that I complained about Kioti at all. I was very clear about my love for the kioti brand and my dislike of the Kioti Dealers that I've met. The only real complaint that I have is the general state of affairs regarding the Dealers that I've met and spoken with. Please re-read my...

I was kind of focusing on kiotis manufactured more recently then 2001. I would like to purchase an additional kioti for a property we have up north and I'd like to know if this is the dealership to do that with. I purchased this Kioti tractor on the internet and over the phone, I paid full...

I wouldn't expect the dealer to be truthful unfortunately. That kind of question would only serve to reduce or eliminate any trust we had between us. Either he switched the battery and knows I caught him or he didn't switch the battery but now thinks i don't trust Him. TBH I Don't trust any...

Does anyone know what battery brand Kioti uses? My first Kioti I purchased had an Interstate battery (kioti CS2410) and every kioti review I watch also has a nice Interstate battery. My brand new CX2510 has a battery with no name (just Black) and it appears to have a Jan 2021 date written on...

I just recently purchased a new Kioti CX2510. I've left emails, kijiji messages and phone messages for Dealers that never returned my messages or called. I was on my 4th dealer before I found one 2 hours away and completed a purchase there. I do find that Customer service has taken a hit lately...

I've already disconnected the seat switch.

Well contractors simply don't replace 1.5 hp pumps with 5 hp pumps. A 5hp pump is a very serious pump capable of pumping 500 plus feet of elevation. This would be equivalent to a mechanic installing a 454 V8 into your Chevrolet to replace a 1.5 liter 4 banger. It just doesn't happen.

A coolant heater is quite effective if working properly. It heats and circulates the coolant through the motor. If coolant is effective to remove heat from the engine then it's also going to be effective to reintroduce heat to the inner workings of an engine. Some believe that a coolant heater...

Sorry about your misfortune with ford. I'll confess that I am a Ford nut before continuing. All companies have their lemons from time to time. My last 3 trucks have been Ford supercabs, 2010, 2014 and my current 2018. The first 2 went 285-295000 kilometers in about 4 years due to the nature of...

No Sir, this unit requires it to be shifted into neutral. Which I can fully understand if the tractor had no clutch like my last SCUT.

Hey. Just bought a new cx2510 ROPS. This tractor adds a clutch for me compared to my old cs2410. This new tractor requires that the HST high low range selector is in neutral AND the clutch has to be depressed to start it. This is overkill and I will disconnect the high low range lever needing...

I find that the cutting wheels generate too much heat when cutting and that will affect the paint and possibly cause corrosion later on. When I did my metal roof it was suggested that I not use a grinder for that reason. I used a Dewalt Sawzall with a 6"metal blade that worked very well for...

I have a 2014 kioti CS2410. Best tractor I've ever owned so far. But I do have one question for someone that knows more then I. Is the 3point hitch adjustable for height? I have a mowing deck height adjustment on the left side which works good but the three point hitch goes all the way down...
