Pulled the trigger today on the 2610hst. AG tires loaded with rimguard, 2 sets of rear remotes and a pair of hooks welded onto the bucket. $3580 and my ck2510hst in trade. Price included Pa sales tax. I think I got a pretty good deal? Can't wait till it is delivered this week sometime. On another note, I noticed the park brake light did not come on when engaging the park brake? Salesman said they did not light up on the 2610 models??? I think I'm going to have them look into that?
Help me decide???

I think you got a fine deal, esp considering the 2 remotes and loaded tires. Not sure about the parking brake myself, but someone on here knows. When do you take delivery, and when can we expect a photo?

If your opening post read, $3580 and my CK2510 instead of $5200, you wouldn't need help to decide. Excellent job and some bucket hooks to boot. Good luck with the new machine. The dash clusters are shared across different models and some functions are not used to keep the sales price competitive. I would guess that you don't have a brake switch in the 2610.
They seemed to have worked everything off of a cash price??...couple of rebates in there too. Got $150 off for being retired from the fire service.....I'm very pleased to say the least. Hat's off To Kevin at Hess Equipment in Canton Pa. Very nice shop that appears to be very well stocked and a no pressure atmosphere to boot. I will post picks when I get it maybe Friday. They are waiting on the Rimguard guy to stop buy and fill the tires.

Don't forget to give her a good look over in the excitement of it all! Delivery day is a good day.

Went to download pictures from the delivery and somehow I deleted them!!!! Have one small issue with the folding ROPS. The one hinge pocket has a slight bend in it which makes it very hard to fold the ROPS to put into my garage. The dealer stated it probably got damaged in transit as it is not mounted to the tractor. I did not notice this until later in the day when I went to put the tractor away. Sounds like they are going to replace the whole left side arm of the ROPS. Otherwise I am very pleased. Ordered another Piranaha toothbar. Loved the on I had on the 2510.

There always seems to be some small issue or another with every tractor new. I get suspicious if there isn't SOMETHING like that to go over.

Sure is a mighty fine machine!
Got a call from the dealer. They are going to replace the entire ROPS with one from a ck3510. Might take a day or two for them to get here and do the switch. Have 5hrs on it so far. For a machine that is probably 1/2 again in size from the 2510 it fits in all the tight places I get into. you just have to be a little more aware of your surroundings. Power wise the motor revs a little less than the 2510 and seems to run a tad smoother. The Ag tires hook up far better than the R4's when digging into any dirt piles. I can tell a big difference with out the pirannaha toothbar. Can't wait to get the new one! They are THAT GOOD! The 3 speed Hydo is a joy. I go between low and mid range most of the time. High is for running for more Beer! I'm 53 y/o and have always loved tractors! I feel like I'm a kid in a sand box with his Tonka trucks when ever I use one. My wife sometimes says to me, " if your feeling down, go hop on your tractor and go MASH something.....you'll feel better!" She's right! Kioti has hit the nail on the head with this machine. Very well built, great fit and finish and a super value.
