CK35 possible to increase front axle articulation?

[jabelding]

I have noticed that with my 2014 CK35 it gets hung up (2 wheels spinning) much more around my yard than my old kubota L275. Its normally not a problem just hit the diff lock and continue. Looking at it I think the front axle articulation is about 1/2 what the kubota was. Has anyone adjusted theirs? Looks like there are tabs that could be ground down to increase it but kind of hate doing it to a new tractor. My garden has a berm around part of it so it makes it a bit of a challenge unless you hit it straight on.
I imagine Kioti limits it to increase stability if the rear tires come off the ground, it would definitely help preventing roll over.

Either your CK 35 has a lot less front axle articulation than my DK or you have one very uneven yard.

Don't know about the adjustment, but I've taken mine all through the woods on uneven slopes and never had an issue.

I drive it in the woods a lot as well, twitching out fire wood and clearing, on tree roots and short stumps it does get hung up on 2 wheels much more that my old Kubota. It is probably more noticeable for me so soon after trading tractors.

I have similar issues with my CK20 and I either have to try the diff lock or just lift up what ever I have hanging off the back to put the extra weight on the rear wheels and it will take off again, of course some of this would not happen if I had the time to fix my 4 wheel drive (front diff issue). But yeah it seems the CK20 has just enough flex in the frame that lifting the finish mower up gives it enough traction to continue on.

Have you look at the difference in length of the two tractors?

What tires are you running and are they filled? Filling will give you a huge difference in traction - been there
Hope this helps

I have r4 tires and both rear tires are filled with rim guard.
