Have you seen the new CK2610?

I'm glad I got the tires filled then, just in case. Went with industrial tires which are heavier than AG and will hold more fill to.

We will see tomorrow, I have some wood to play with and get a feel for the tractor, baby steps!

Looking forward to your review. Comparing this with a Yanmar EX3200 myself right now. Not exactly apple to apples, but close.

The CK3510 that he had on the lot had a KL4010 on it. CK3510 and CK2610 are same frame size. I'm hoping that the loader will do at least 1600, but either way even at 1200 for the money and the BH extra size, I would still be happy.

2nd picture in this thread is a pretty good comparison on the loaders. Someone with more experience than me can probably pick out specific differences and make an educated guess.

Loaded tires may not be enough counterweight by itself for a 1600+ lb load. I have loaded Industrials. The have kept me planted pretty good with 1200 lb loads. However, for me, if doing again, I would get Ag tires. The industrials are super tough, but horrible in the mud and snow. I won't even take out in into small snows it's that bad.

I run chains on all four of my R4s for my Winter fun. It goes well when chained up.

KL2610 loader is 1252 pounds at its max. Not overly impressive.

Yea not impressive, but with it's size and comfort it is workable.

Now what in this price range and size has that much more lift?

Definitely agree! How'd you make out today?

So far so good still learning what I am doing and what the machine will do. So far pushed several large logs out of the way and dug about half a stump out.

Pictures soon!

I'd love to hear an honest opinion from someone that's used this tractor and a CK3510 just to see how much difference there really is in power. Rumor has it Kioti says it's 24.5 but it's really substantially more.

I believe kioti used the older CK 27 motor and brought the horse power down to just under 25 horse in the ck2510 so they could avoid tier 4. Now it sounds like they use that same motor in the ck2610 larger frame tractor. what a brilliant idea!!! That will make for a great tractor at a great price as long as you don't need high PTO HP.
