    Erratic and jerky hydraulics

    I was going to say, is it a kioti?? Mine has been doing that since brand new. Backhoe especially can be extremely difficult to maneuver

    I just bought an Echo 2511t clone for $99. What was I thinking?

    Wasn't soybean oil invented originally for the machine industry to be used as a lubricant? And then someone along the way started selling it to people for food consumption

    I Went To Purchase A New Mini-Excavator And This Happened.....

    The dirt and dust on the airfilter box, cabin, etc can be just from sitting around in the yard. I know I'll wash my truck at the car wash, and after few days sitting at home it looks filthy and covered in dust just like that because im working on the backyard and digging and using leaf blowers...

    Attaching pto implements

    Read a bunch of similar posts. Tried it. Doesn't turn. The shaft turns only about half an inch and when I let go off it, it turns back the same half inch, like spring loaded. Not enough time and hard to hold with one hand while trying to pull back the collar and push the implement side on...

    Attaching pto implements

    Thanks for the suggeations. It's a kioti DK4210SE. Couple of years old. Everything is always lubed up and I keep the dust cap on it when not in use. I'll try the shutting off the engine and see if that disengages the pto and let's me spin it freely. Or like others said lift the implement to...

    Attaching pto implements

    Is there a trick to attaching pto implements to the pto? Sliding the collar onto the shaft? I always find it a PIA to connect the 2. Various implements. The collar almost never lines up with the shaft. Then I have to play with the switch for several minutes, turn it on and off, until the shift...

    Woods Finish Mower Issue

    Sharpen the blades. Speed up rpms, slow down tractor speed when mowing. See if any if it makes a difference. How's your alignment? All the arms and body on the mower straight? I've hit with mine few things in the past, enough to bend it slightly out of alignment. Hasn't been cutting the...

    6" vs 8" chipper for 30hp

    So did a lot of clean-up the last 7 days. Put the chipper through hell. 7 days of about 10hrs a day. 70% red and white pine, 30% maple and cherry. Couple of weeks ago did a similar thing. So probably close to 140ish hours under its belt. The 6" is good for the tractor I have. Maple and cherry...

    Amsoil hydraulic fluid

    So I got recently 2 pails of amsoil hydraulic fluid. https://www.amsoil.com/p/amsoil-iso-32-100-synthetic-multi-viscosity-hydraulic-oil-hvh/ Got it in iso32 because I use my tractor in the winter too and it gets pretty cold up here. Paid $500 for the 2 pails, but now starting to have doubts is...

    Hobby Farmer Tractor Lubricants

    I used get condensation in my hydraulic lines in the winter with extremely cold temperatures, even with the winter rated oil. Blew out parts and orings in the past because of the ice build up in the lines. Was told to add some diesel conditioner (couple of cups) into the hydraulic oil to help...

    Taking my Kioti on the road - what are your must-take tools and supplies?

    Couple of heavy duty chains. Few ratchet straps. And also bring about 150ft of steel/aircraft cable, at least 1/4" and some shackles and hooks. Helped me huge pulling out stubborn brush and moving dropped logs around. 3-4ton come along if you have. A hatchet and a full size axe. Large...

    Older Stihl getting hard to start

    I had the same issue last year with my ms170. Bought a new fuel filter and a new carb off amazon, cheap Chinese carb for $15. First one is had to return because the saw wouldn't stop running, 2nd $15 carb from a different seller worked perfectly. Been a year now and starts with second pull...

    6" vs 8" chipper for 30hp

    Just ordered a 6" chipper by woodland mills, the TF68 PRO. Has a dual flywheel and is rated for 20-50hp. It would be going on a kioti DK4210SE, that has about 30hp at the pto. Ever since, I've been thinking about whether I should have gone with the 8" one, the TF810 PRO, but it says it...

    Have you ever heard of a defective ROPS responsible for injury?

    So at the beginning of this year I dove under a an overhang by accident with my 2yr old kioti dk45 still on the flatbed trailer (parked in reverse) Forgot to fold the ROPS. Very slow speed, creeping under the overhang. As soon as I head the crash, I stopped. The overhang part I hit is made...

    DK45SC Cab Liner Mice!

    I know Ford and few other manufacturers have drank the environment coolaid cr@p and switched to soy based plastics and foams. The soy apparently attracts all sorts of rodents and they love eating that stuff. Hoses, plastic boxes under the hood, liners, etc. So a ton of people are having issues...

    Backhoe KB2485 valve end-cap popped

    Well to finish off on a good note... Went to the dealer today. Apparently no parts on this continent. It was the part number 58 that Dave suggested. $120 up here in chinada. Ebay sells similar in the states for $30ish. Said 6-8 weeks minimum as it would be coming from Korea apparently. Blows...

    Backhoe KB2485 valve end-cap popped

    Thank you Dave for the pics. Looks like it's part #58. I'll check ebay etc for it. #57 with the washer kit is too short, think that is from the stabilizers. I'm almost sure that the lines were frozen. The hoe has been sitting outside in 14f to -25f all winter. I had to attach the lines to raise...

    Backhoe KB2485 valve end-cap popped

    While trying to attach the backhoe in the cold, no indoor garage, the left control arm cylinder popped while trying to extended the bucket. Aluminum housing end cap cracked where 2 allen screws attach it to the main body. It's located at the bottom of the arm responsible for extending the boom...

    Operating the backhoe

    Thank you everyone. Figured it out. I didn't have the parking brake on right the first few times I tried (in addition to being in neutral). Ooops. Ordered the bypass on ebay anyways. Started building a beach on my pond. Damn this tractor is a BEAST! Very pleased with the performance so far...

    Operating the backhoe

    Ok, newbie question here. Got my DK4210SE rops delivered yesterday. It sat til today until I had time to play with it. What's the trick to keep the tractor running in order to use the backhoe? I turn it on, parking brake on, get the throttle up, I get off the seat to go sit in the backhoe...

    DPF cleaning

    Been battling the dpf on my X5 (suv) for years, eventually had it deleted. I tried to clean it out myself back in the day, but in that truck the engine is way too crammed and the dpf is difficult to get to. Wondering if anyone here has attempted to yank that crap out of the tractors out and...

    Kioti diagnostic tool / obd scanner

    I frequently work on my cars and use the OBD scanners/tools every now and then. Does Kioti have something similar that works for it? Would car diagnostic scanners work on tractors too? I'm not familiar with tractors, but I imagine they all have onboard computers and give errors codes like cars do...

    How happy are you?

    Still haven't picked up mine, but I did look at massey, mahindra, jd, new holland, and case... and I must say I was impressed with Kioti's numbers in comparison.. sometimes better by a mile. Most of their engines are made in south korea, so probably similar quality control. And then when I saw...

    DK4210SE loader controls setup

    I asked one dealer and was told it's not doable, the other one said he'll look into it (a month ago, still no response), hence my question here. I'm just confused as to why it wouldn't be.. No posts here about, surprised no one has tried to change it before

    DK4210SE loader controls setup

    Hi, just bought a new DK4210SE hst rops. My 1st tractor, super excited. Was looking at the CK3510SE originally, but because of low stock, and having to wait til September for one otherwise, ended up going with a DK4210SE instead. I also looked at Mahindra and Massey, but ended up with Kioti...
