CK 3510 improvements

[TOYBARN]

I would like to hear from other owners what you would like to see improved or changed on the CK 2610, 3510 & 4010 lineup.
I really miss not having individual L&R side brake pedals on my CK3510SE like I have had on previously owned other color hydro models compacts.

No doubt, that would be the first change I would advise Kioti to make. My Kubota L3940 has L-R braking but is on the same side as the HST pedal. I very rarely use differential braking but have needed it now and then and have to contort to make it happen. I have a CK3510SE on order in spite of that short coming.

Well, I guess it is almost perfect then! The L&R is a minor issue but why not just go ahead and design it with that ability in the first place? My size 14 boots are a little tight with the HST pedals and the brake pedal, I think I will get it dialed in. Someone mentioned there is a thread here about someone actually moving them to the other side.

I cannot think of anything I would like changed other than moving the brake pedal to the left side. I added a left hand brake pedal myself. I never used turning brakes on any of the tractors I used that had dual brake pedals. They were always locked together.

All we need are some pictures....

I'm not an owner -- Yet, but I'm not sure about how the hydraulics are so low on the underside of the tractor. I have to wonder if they don't get branches, weeds and other debris hung up on them and if they get damaged when you run over an unseen stump or rock or neighbor.

I have read of people damaging them in here and elsewhere. Not sure of the engineering/layout.

Other than that, I ike them. It's the one thing I'm unsure of

For some reason the forward/reverse pedals seem reversed to me. I am constantly hitting the reverse pedal while trying to move forward, for example.

I have a 4010SE and totally agree the brake should be on the left side. Trying to measure your distance when trying to hook up a loader on the front or something on the rear of the tractor when dealing with inches is so much easier and safer with the brake petal on the left side. I had a sub compact Massey before this one tractor with the brake on the left and so much better. Have to get it changed

Those are the reasons I added the left brake pedal to my 3510.

I have 45 hours on my Kioti. Having had 4 different Kubota's gives a little bit of ability to know what I like about the CK 3510 HST and other stuff not so much. I did bypass the neutral gear selector switch. That drove me CRAZY. I think it is more dangerous with it than without it but neither to be a concern. I never understood Kubota's "regeneration" hydraulic system, now I do and it is superior. All new filters at 43 hours except fuel and air. I will be able to test it shortly with a flail mower next week and will be curious how well it spins a 62" mower.

Wow that is one terrible design..

I too wanted differential braking on my 4010 HST. While looking through the service manual I also saw that there are differential brakes on other CK models and wondered if I could order those parts and convert mine over. I'm guessing there is not room on the right for both brake pedals, but a single left side pedal seems like a good plan. I have certainly had some situations, mostly connecting implements, where the split second between the go pedal and the brake allowed a slight roll back. While I like the idea of differential braking, I can't say I've ever actually needed it. Left side brake though, hmmmm, guess I'll be heading back to the parts listings to think this over some more...
