Dashboard lights

Larno · Jul 10, 2016

Little question.

I had a CK20 in 2008 and after 2610 CK in 2014. Now I just bought a 2016 CK3510 and I find that many items are no longer by economy from Kioti. In addition there are more cruise control. The handle of the safety brakes went down to the feet and difficult Inrush. Witnesses lights are all in the Tablets edge (see picture) but not functional. Example: the lights of witness safety brakes do not work because they failed to install micro swich to turn .... It's dangerous. More ca goes tractors are increased $$$$ and the less equipment.

Sorry for my english because I speak french, I am from Quebec.

Have a good day.

I'm not sure if there's a question in there or not but didn't you see the tractor before you bought it?

The image below shows what's on the instrument cluster. A brake light is supposed to be there. Perhaps you should contact the dealer and have the lights repaired.

Hello CCWKen

I contacted my dealer and that's how. The light is in the table but no swich is installed on the brake pedal. So no witnesses lights when the safety brake is engaged. To the USA your tractors are assembled it without this swich?

I'm talking about the one Kioti CK 3510 2016. My Kioti 2008 and 2014 had functional light

Michel I noticed the same thing... the brake light does not illuminate when depressed. The light does come on in the instrument cluster when the tractor is started though. It threw me for a loop at first but I quickly adjusted. Previously my 48 year old tractor didn't have it and I managed... just had to figure out the light doesn't work.

Hi! AMD
You are right it lacks micro swich on the pedal. Also tell me, then you have a horn? We have the button and son went close before the lights but not the horn itself. I bought a horn for $ 20 and I installed it and it works great. You talk to me after a candlelight economy. Kioti makes unpleasant economies.

Nope, no horn, but that certainly doesn't bother me.

It didn't stand out at first but at one point I noticed on the website "tab header" it calls the 3510 and 4010 models "Value tractor" - personally I'm happier not paying for things I don't really need - a horn being one of them. I was a little disappointed when I found the parking light didn't work but again, my old tractor didn't have a dash at all and I was fine. From this perspective I'm happier with the value of what I've gotten for what I paid vs what some of the economy models offered.

Hello AMD

I too am pleased with my tractor but I do not think buying another. (This is my third Kioti) I note that the higher the price the lower the equipment on my tractor and the quality seems reduced.
