How Many Hours on Your Kioti?

[Buggs67]

That looks like fun too. Going fishing?

Bought 11/11/11 900hrs...issues power steering metal line split, backhoe subframe broke, wore out and replaced hoe subframe bolts. Loader and hoe bolts loose at each 100hrs. Finally used red tread locker and that took care of loader. Welded backhoe to subframe and I believe that issue is solved. Would I buy another YOU BET! Great tractor! Kioti has been great with all warranty issues. If Kioti built a 36ish hp. cab tractor I would replace my Mahindra. Kioti hydr's are so smooth compared to my other tractors. HVAC works great. Roomy cab this dk50 is AWWWWSOME!

Mine is a 2008 CK35 HST with 900 hrs. Used for mowing 8 acre field, removing tons of rocks with woods backhoe, snow removal, lawn mowing, and lots of other stuff to do on my "gentleman's farm". The only real issue is the HST pedal, even though I lube it, it won't respond like it did when new. This has been an issue with these tractors, and there is a long thread about it on TBN. It should be re-called and fixed because it is a safety issue. That is the only thing I've had go wrong on it and to me, it's not that big of a deal. As far as I'm concerned it's a great tractor and has been good to me. I would certainly buy another.

2014 DK45SE with 24 hours

I do a little bucket work and I'm getting a box blade or land leveler today (I hope) but the bulk of the work it does is mowing my 14 acres with an 88" flail mower. The tractor does its job like it's bulletproof, the flail mower is old and seems to need something small every other mow.

Bumping this old thread. Looks like we should have some members with 2000 plus hours on their machines by now.

As for me : Only 281 hours on my 2013 DK45 SE bought new in April of 2014. No problems so far. Most hours have come from mowing.

 

[cat fever]

I'm up to 350 problem free hours.

Mine is pretty close to 500 now, mostly loader work. Bucket/grapple/forks. Some road grading with a back blade. Very little mowing

 

[K man]

I am only at 80 hours on my 2013 CK 30 HST still not broke in lol. I mainly use it for snow blowing and work around the yard with the loader. I love this little orange/black monster, very well built and powerful with no issues yet. I am retired so it will not see too much work other than snow blowing.

 

[rd_macgregor]

I clicked over 1304 hrs. this week. Engine going strong, but I have some more-or-less cosmetic issues elsewhere on the tractor.

2004 lk3054xs, 400 hours. Digging, snowblowing and loader work. Little tilling and box blade. Replaced negative battery cable, and just about every o-ring in backhoe valvebody.

 

[countrybumpkin]

Over 500 , had a replaced fuel tank, a replace 3pt cylinder, and injectors replace.

 

[UpstateSC_Papi]

Somewhere around 39. Should hit at least 40 tomorrow as it has FINALLY stopped raining here!

My DK 35 is at 2119 hours.
No problems, working good.

DK45SE I知 up to 428 hours, no issues, but I致e broken quite a few things learning how to use a tractor.
1. Broken curl cylinder
2. Broken 3pth sway link
3. 3 stripped loader zerk cup bolts
4. 1 loader bracket fram bolt head sheared off (cuz the other 7 were loose!)
5. Hogged out lug holes on rear rim
6. 2 ripped tie-rod end boots
7. 2 bent top links (wrong geometry for my ballast barrel)
8. Bent exhaust pipe

With the amount of clearing I致e done in the woods for me and my neighbors, it痴 a really good thing I didn稚 get a cabbed tractor!
Overall a very solid and hardy machine that has NEVER let me down or failed to start.

 

[NSKioti]

Got 97 hours on mine,really been putting the hours on since I got the backhoe!

 

[grsthegreat]

880 hours on unit. No major issues

Just over 400 hrs on my 2014 CK2510. Backhoe work at first, snow removal. Now that I live i the sticks i use it with a Land Pride AT2560 for mowing, with the rear blade and box blade to grade and maintain the 1/3 mile gravel driveway. Using the FEL and BH to expand the natural pond.

The FEL has loosened up a lot. The weld on the adjustable 3pt lift arm broke. I've broken a few zerks.

In NJ it all had to live outside; here in PA it's all in the garages.

Changed the oil, tranny fluid, filters (twice) and fuel filter (that was important but cheap). I'm using WIX oil filters but stuck with Kioti for the HST, Hyd and fuel filters. The price here was not outrageous like it was in NJ. TSC Tractor fluid and Rotella T6 engine oil.

Correction: my cruise control doesn't work anymore. I couldn't figure out why and it's not important enough to take to the dealer to have fixed.

I've got 340 hours on my 2012 Dk40se hst. Mostly front end loader work moving pallet boxes of firewood around and moving dirt. It came with a defective 4wd valve block meaning it was stuck in 4wd. Had that replaced under warranty. Then the ignition switch starting acting up - fixed with squirting contact cleaner into the lock. Have done all required service myself. Very satisfied with this tractor. I too use WIX oil filters and Kioti for all others.

I have a 4 year old dk50 se with 600 hours. Used to clear land, moved 100's of yards of fill, a lot of grapple and backhoe work, stump grinder, logging winch, pto generator and too many other tasks to list. It has been rock solid and worked hard. I love it

On another note I just changed the oil and had an analysis done by Blackstone. They stated wear metals were exceptionally low and had a TBN of 7.7 at 100 hrs on the oil. This indicates a great running engine. I use Rotella 5w40. I use Amsoil ATH in the Hydro.

2017 CK2610 - 190h. Love it but doesn't seem to have the same power it did a year ago
