That's a fine looking machine! Congratulations.
I'm building a house and have decided on that tractor also.

I have the white Kioti (CK27) or a Bobcat CT225. Get a ballast box and rim guard in the tires.

Love mine. No real problems. Almost 50hrs for the season so far. Should hit 50 this month. I work it HARD.
Are your tires loaded? I have close to 16 hours on mine now and I'm loving it. I just spent two evening after work spreading 45 ton of gravel on my driveway/parking area. I'm very impressed with the tractor. Do you have anything mounted on you're tractor for holding a chain or chainsaw or other tools?

I have Rimguard in the rears. Adds a little over 500lbs. total. Nothing for saws etc. I do leave my carry all on most of the time. Planning on a grapple for next spring.

Ahh yes I got 600 pounds of rimguard in my rears. Ive been trying to find a spot to mount some pvc pipe for chains and tools and then something for a chainsaw but I'm having a hard time finding a good spot or thread on spots on the ck2610. A grapple sure would be handy that's for sure.

My carry all has been my best tool holder. Just make sure everything is tied down! Don't ask.....my tractor made scrap out of my leafblower I for got to secure!

I could see that happening lol....I've looked at those and I think I would be taking it on and off more then anything. Do you know if they make a floor board foot guard like the older CK's and DK's use to have??

I will have to check my for grease nipples.
All 4 tires are filled with RimGuard. Yeah, the fronts too. Not sure it was a good idea, but it has not proven to be a bad idea either.
Nothing yet mounted to carry tools or a saw. I've been watching for tips and tricks...cause so far I have not come up with any!

I've been working on a tool/chain holder and a chainsaw holder for a couple weeks now but progress has been slow. I will post photos soon once I have them finished and painted.

I just joined the 2610 HST family yesterday. Traded in my old 1994 Ford 5030 beast for something smaller. And I also then had to trade all my related big rotating stuff to downsize. Went from almost 60 HP down to this. And from 6 foot wide stuff to 5 foot.
Did a little bush Hogging yesterday and went though some 3-4 inch stuff. Using a Bush Hog brand 5 footer. I could surely tell the loss of power or course but I got through it and learned how to nurse it though the big stuff. That was the worst I could throw at it and it survived and did fine. Im looking forward to smaller and easier to swap out implements. I only changed the Tiller and the Rotary mowers down to new 5 foot stuff.
Only think I notice is my headlights not working. Didn't see that when they dropped off this one and took the beast away. Ill deal with that but if anyone knows the skinny on that please pop in and tell me. Of course no horn but thats expected. I shopped the dealer over the brand so I am not worried. I chose this tractor because its sold by a long time respected dealer in my area.
My dealer puts fluid with antifreeze in the rear, Slime in the front tires and he uses Gell batteries in all his tractors.
What length trailer do I need if I get one? I was thinking a 20 footer would do? Or do I really need to go 22 foot? Reason I ask is that I can find a few nice deals on 20's but the price jumps dramatically on 22's
Anyway.. I'll post up as I get more hours on it. It showed up here with 4.2 and I put one hour on it yesterday. So Im rather new with it.
