Oil & Fuel Ck 4010HST Propeller Shaft Leak

[Samills]

I was doing some clearing the other day and I noticed a hydro trail in the dirt. After looking under the tractor I saw a significant hydraulic leak coming from what I think is the propeller shaft running to the front wheel drive. Anyone else have a similar problem? I only have 20 hrs on the tractor, it's about a month old.

First one I have heard of on the Kioti. That looks like a back to the dealer for warranty repair of the seal for sure.

Back to the dealer, warranty problem. First I've heard of any issues with the new CKs. Probably just the odd issue.

It is at the dealer now...

Please report back what was found, if you don't mind. I am assuming a defective seal.

The dealer said a stick damaged the seal. They were going to submit it for warranty, but were not sure it would be covered. We will see, but I'm a little concerned about the tractor of a little stick can take it down.

How did it get under the shaft cover??

You got me, I didn't see a stick when I found the leak.

Little sticks can do some damage if they hit just the right spot.
A little stick got up through and ruined the radiator on my dads Kubota.

Then how do they know if it was a stick that did it? Did they find the culprit?
