One thing I have to give Ford credit for is they never took a government bailout.

He certainly should accept it was his choice to break the law...but I don't think he is saying, "hey they did it too" when pointing at the ships and planes not having DPFs and such. Instead, I think he is saying, "look at all the pollution being produced to reduce pollution" and in doing so is...

One should use appropriately treated screws as well. They are cheap considering a trailer only has a few dozen of them in it.

Good video that explains the issues with DPFs, EGRs, DEF, and other emissions equipment...makes me glad I got the 25hp Kioti CK2610.

Sorry, I thought I updated all the links. We took the videos off our K9 channel because I didn't want to spam my K9 clients with tractor videos and I do not wish to solicit my dogs onto those interested in my tractor videos. Here is the new channel we set up specifically for our tractor and...

I am old enough to be from a time that if people would have painted the visible areas but not the covered areas, such a person would have considered to be a dishonest, underhanded, cheating scoundrel. Honest mistakes are of course going to happen, but it doesn't come off as an honest mistake...

See...you are focusing on the "surface rust." I am addressing the fact that they painted the trailer but not the parts that were hidden under and that would trap water, sand, salt that destroys steel OVER TIME...and bacteria that breaks down untreated wood. That is why I said I am glad I noticed...

I take it you have never seen what unpainted steel that is exposed to the elements looks like after a decade...so let's not forget that this short 37 second video clip that shows the rust and unpainted steel was made just 2 days after ownership. Covering unpainted steel on a trailer with wood...

Hopefully this won't be too bad...but we will see. I certainly didn't want it to rot out prematurely. The only wood I have ever noticed being slippery were some wood steps on an above ground kennel that had algae grow on it, and then I bleached it...and while it was breaking down it was...

It makes a difference. We have wood on several above ground dog kennels and elevated steps. Remember that wood doesn't float in the air. It has attachment points that support it, and those attachment points retain water and can hold microscopic organisms. When those supporting points rot, the...

It does work very well though.

It lasts much longer

I don't know. Regardless...I have everything good to go except the extension/contraction can be over-extended if I am not mindful. I wonder if a cylinder can have the same contracted length, but have a slightly reduced extension length. That would be the easiest solution to the over-extension...

I knew the Kioto was 11.something total, but didn't have flow to the remotes. Thanks for that info. I thought the L3240 was only 8.something total...so I assumed it would be less flow to the remotes than the Kioti to the remotes

I made a mistake and assumed people gave a crap to do things right...it was a trailer, not a complex item...and it was raining and honestly...I never assumed someone would manufacture a trailer for external use that wasn't painted or used untreated wood. My fault for assuming people still cared...

The steel framing and welds under the wood were not painted. Wood was not pressure treated. I removed the wood and corrected both issues. Video of me removing the wood to correct these issues was made and will be coming soon, but here are a few photos of the rust on a brand new trailer that was...

Neither issue? If so, maybe the differences are... As far as the hydraulic tilt needing restriction...my tractor, Kioti CK2610, has nearly 2.5 GPM more flow then the Kubota L3240 causing the cyclinder to change more rapidly on my unit, and perhaps the AGL-165 also has a larger cylinder (I...

I looked at Woodmax before buying my AGL-145...and saw a few complaints. I hope they resolve your issues once the holiday is over

The ones for their compact tractors are made in China

A backhoe is expensive, and frankly not something I could justify being I can rent a much better trackhow for a tiny percentage of what a backhoe would cost. And renting one doesn't stress my tractor.

Excellent observation on the ballast impeding the digging ability of the front end loader. Never thought of that, but it makes perfect sense that what prevents the tractor from tipping when lifting too heavy of an object with the loader will also prevent the bucket from digging when one has a...

Maschio flail mowers in the compact tractor size are made in China. If one is going to get a China flail mower, might as well save some money as Betstco seems to be pretty nice and costs a lot less.

I like my Betstco AGL-145 but it isn't perfect by any means. The extension/contraction allows the mower to go far enough out to the side to hit the frame of the mower itself. I will video this. It seems as if the mower was designed for the gear box to be mounted on the outer side of the...

I see a lot of people buying 3 point ballast boxes or making ballast containers out of drums to attach to their 3 point hitch. I have never really grasped why not just keep a box blade on the back so you could have not just a weight, but something that can be used should you wish to drag...

very solid mount.

I should have mentioned that I also added about 1/2" length of 1/4" fuel line on the bolts that go from the angle iron into the ammo can so the rubber hose would be compressed like a rubber washer against the drilled out holes and would help to prevent rattle or water from getting in when it...

After further testing, I reduced them a bit more. The above sizes, 0.062" (1/16") on ext/con & 0.045" (3/64") for tilt, were still rather fast. Controllable indeed if one is careful and better than stock, but faster than I preferred. So, I got another 0.031" (1/32") and tried it on the tilt. It...

Since the CK2510-4010 tractors are all the same size frame...no need to be specific on which model. I am interested in which size canopy to go with if I get one...and is it sturdy enough for highway travel when trailered?

Four-five years ago I had a 3300 square foot slab poured for our K9 kennels. Man...I learned the hard way that very few people know what they are doing even for such a simple project...had to fire 2 crews before finding someone to do things right. Everyone wants to do shabby work but expect full...

The numbers I listed were from the Kioti website.

The cool thing about math is it is objective. Pounds don't have opinions and due to the law of conservation of matter, you just add the numbers of each implement/attachment together to get the total weight.

Thanks for the info guys. I am very pleased with the capabilities of the CK2610 HST.

Check out 22:00 in the video posted at the bottom...amazing little tractor.

?? Go look at the numbers on Kioti's website. In any case, not my concern. I have a CK2610 HST with KL4030 loader...and am able to move a lot more with it than I was expecting, so I am very pleased. At the 22:00 mark in the video at the bottom of this post...what more could one expect from a...

SO it is like a two step filtration...the hydrostat filter for larger stuff, and then the HST filter for finer stuff before going through the HST itself.

I don't want to post the same topic twice, but thought some Kioti tech may be observing this section of TBN but not the hydraulic forum section...so here is a link to the original post...

On the Kioti CK2610 HST, I noticed we have five filters to maintain/replace... 1. the oil filter, 2. the hydraulic filter, 3. the HST filter, 4. the fuel filter, and 5. the air filter. My question is why is there both a hydraulic filter & also a hydrostat filter? Don't both systems circulate...

They need to remove the 87 in the manual and the specs sheets then...as that would be 100.5 CI's not 87. As a scientist, I like to understand things. Sometimes accepting things is easier, sometimes it is not. It depends on if the information is accurate or not, and what the cost will be when...

My thoughts as well...but I don't have the CX2510 to look at.

The only way EVs will end up being good is if they eventually are charged by solar power. If they are on the grid, they don't really save enough to justify the conversion. That is why Elon Musk made solar panels for roofs. They have to eventually get away from the grid.

This photo comes from the manual, correct? Look at the displacement listing. It shows 87 cubic inches there as well. 100.5 cubic inches equals 1647 CI's. 87 CI's only equals 1426 cc's. I am sure they will fix this in the future...but until then it is either 1647 cc (100.5 CIs) or 1426 cc's...

There is a problem with the manuals on the CX2510 with the displacement statement ya'll... That is the conversion rate. For the CK2610, they have the conversion ratio correct. For the CX2510, they have the conversion ratio incorrect. 1647 cc does equal 100.5 CI (as listed on the CK2610)...

I don't have that model, but he may be closer than you think... The CX2510 HST tractor is 2260# Front end loader with bucket is 605# Backhoe without bucket is over 1000# Backhow bucket weight? 100#? Total over 3950# ballast added to tires.

something is clearly off...given their website also says 87 cubic inches of displacement. I don't own the CX2510...so it doesn't matter to me...but if I did I would like to know when ordering items. I have the CK2610...so this isn't a concern for me when ordering items.

If it is 87 CI, then it is 1426 cc. Given there is a different engine number AND a different cubic inch number, I suspect they made a mistake on the stated cc...occam's razor...one mistake being more likely than two mistakes...and being it is a smaller/lighter machine. Also, the crank case on...

Interesting...While the engine model number is similar, it is slightly different. Also, I just noticed that Kioti has contradicting information on their website. Notice the CI's are listed different, but the CC's are listed the same...which is of course impossible. I wonder which is...

If you don't mind, using 1/16th, or even 3/64ths if I drop down...how much heat is created by hydraulic restrictions this size, and since these implements are only used intermittently and not under constant manipulation, is there any concern about cycle frequency or rest time intervals? Note...

Kioti CK2610HST And one with our Construction Attachments 54" double root grapple.

Ran it a bit today with the 1/16th's restriction, and it worked well. 3/64 would be better for the tilt, but 1/16th was much better for the tilt than the stock...and 1/16th seems about perfect for the extension/extraction feature.

I have never used AC...and don't know how much of a draw that is on the hp...but trust your judgement.

When using a bucket, I have found it easier to just look at the top of the bucket. The flat spot on top is parallel (or very close to parallel) with the bottom of the bucket.

Thanks. Truth is...I wasn't ever concerned of flipping because I don't put myself in those situations, but yes, I am sure this extra control makes it safer. It feels very stable although I have only used it with the front loader on. My concern with the shaking is more about abuse to the tractor...

I have a CK2610 HST with the KL 4030 loader (not the KL4010, but 4030). My Kioti will out lift my neighbor's 38 hp Kubota. There is no way the loader would void the warranty since Kioti itself lists the KL4030 loader as an option if you click on "attachments," on their website, as seen here...

I have a CK2610 HST and haven't noticed any excess vibration. Seems very normal to me comparing to my neighbor's 15-20 year old Kubota (38 hp I believe) and my former JD 3320. My Kioti will out lift my neighbor's Kubota, but the JD outlifted both...but my JD outlifted both the Kubota and the...

Hope everything works out for you. I saw some people getting the CK2610 and then turning the fuel screw out to increase hp...but I sure wouldn't do that with a new tractor because it voids the warrantee..but I guess they did it to avoid the DPF while getting more hp.

Love your videos Tim. Best tractor channel on YouTube IMO. If you were closer, I would buy you one of those cheeseburgers you talk about. haha. Which tractor did you test with the same drivetrain as the CK2610? I wasn't aware of the same drivetrain being offered in another tractor. Very similar...

Go with the CK2610 and avoid the DPF

The CK2610 is significantly bigger than the B and LX Kubota series. Much heavier and MUCH MUCH MORE lift capacity/hydraulic flow. It outlifts not only the B and LX serious, but also the L series as well by more than 500#. It is a strong tractor. I know of one that was checked on a dyno and got...

I wish you the best of luck...but comments like this make me glad I decided to go with the smaller CK2610 to avoid DPFs...meaning I don't have to deal with regens.

On their YouTube channel, I see they also have a plant in India and Romania as well.

I saw that...but wondered if it was for marketing reasons.

Nice. Oh, and thanks again for all your help.

I have good control on the drop of the tilt even with 1/16th...but on the tilt up stroke it was a bit herky jerky when starting and stopping the upward motion...but still better than before. I think the 3/64th will be good.

Got the restriction orifices and at 1/32nd they were too restrictive and very slow even at working RPMs...so to avoid excess heat and knowing I have room for controlling more flow I drilled them out to 1/16th (I didn't have a 3/64th bit). That was good, and seems to work well for the lateral...

Thank you. I understand area is not linear, but squared...and goes up quickly as one increases size. Thank you also for letting me know I only need to install one on the rodless side of each cylinder (one on the tilt and one on the swing arm). The hose connections are only about an inch apart on...

Thanks. Is it wrong to put one on each of the four lines...both the to and fro lines? For two pistons that would mean having a total of four restrictors? I ask because I am not sure which to install it on and the 1/32nd is available at tractor supply and they only cost about $8 at tractor...

Can you share a link to such conversation/topic?

I will make a proper review after I make the mods. But here is a look at how it cut around my pond despite wet conditions.

I got the AGL-145 and am happy with it...but I am seeking to make a few minor mods on flow restriction and a PTO extension possible for additional shaft clearance when at full extension. I almost got a Machio, but noticed that their "Italian" made flail mowers are only the larger units. The...

EDIT: I don't wish for the conversation to be misleading...so I came back here to put in the beginning the RESTRICTION SIZE I ended up with finding the most beneficial after further testing... For extension/contraction: 0.045" (3/63") and for the tilt: 0.031" (1/32") ___________ Below is the...
