CK30HST

6or7dazeaweek · Nov 30, 2005

Been driving all over the North country this week looking at 25-30HP CUT's.

I decided to take a test ride on a CK30HST with a FEL....my first ride on a tractor in over 30 years and I loved every moment.

I did notice some forward creeping motion when I took my foot off the pedal. Is this normal or something that can be adjusted by the dealer. The dealer just said it was a minor adjustment but I feel the need to ask just the same.

Almost decision time! /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Mine does it ocassionally (in both directions) but it is easy to stop by lightly pressing on the pedal in the opposite direction of the creep. It has been absolutely no problem.

Mine only does that when it is in High range, not in Middle or low. That is usually the only time I use the brake pedal as well.

I have nearly 70 hours of fun on mine, and it works remarkably!

My ck30hst does the same thing, It can be a little annoying in close quarters. It does seem to be somewhat intermittent as well. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

It's most likely the pedal not returning to center, a little lube or adjustment should solve it.

FYI, generally, if one follows the track from the pedal to where it goes into the tranmission, you can lube the main sites with spray lithium grease to solve this problem. I have had it happen on my CK20HST as have others, but the lube has always taken care of it.
I usually do it with every 50 hours of service or as needed.
It can be dangerous to allow this to continue, as someone said, "In close quarters."
Make sure that the grease is well applied to the round part that is right on the side of the case at the end of the linkage from the pedal, making sure to get it into that small round opening.

Thanks for everyone's reply to my question. It's reassuring to know that there's help right around the corner if need be. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Jon,

Where in upstate NY are you?

I just drove through the Kioti dealership in Granville NY today myself.

Aaron & Jon
Where are you guys in NY? I'm in Indian Lake and bought a CK20H from Wallace Tractor, PA on Oct. 28,'05. The machine is marvelous for a small tractor (compact tractor!).
There is a dealer in Schroon Lake, too. In fact he had a very nice used CK20H with 30 hours on it back in October.

I talked with the other dealer mentioned previously which i believe was Moores.. He seemed like a good dealer as well. He was my second choice.. Love the ck30 by the way..
