I have never used AC...and don't know how much of a draw that is on the hp...but trust your judgement.
The CK2610 has 100 CI displacement, but the CX2510 is only 87 CI
I know of one that was checked on a dyno and got 24 hp at the pto in a test (although only rated 21.5 at the PTO according to specs stated by the factory), which suggests around 28 hp at the engine. If that is true, then they are reporting less than the tractor is actually producing...or that one was just a fluke. I don't know the legals of this, but regardless the engine is the same engine that was once used in their 35 hp tractors.
Interesting...While the engine model number is similar, it is slightly different. Also, I just noticed that Kioti has contradicting information on their website. Notice the CI's are listed different, but the CC's are listed the same...which is of course impossible. I wonder which is correct...the CC's or the CI's.Not so. The CX2510 has the same 1647cc engine the CK2610 has (3A165).
If it is 87 CI, then it is 1426 cc. Given there is a different engine number AND a different cubic inch number, I suspect they made a mistake on the stated cc...occam's razor...one mistake being more likely than two mistakes...and being it is a smaller/lighter machine.Not so. The CX2510 has the same 1647cc engine the CK2610 has (3A165).
If you don't get a 3 range if you go hydro, you've messed up big time.Can you share which model you tested? Hoping the CX2510. I'm caught between that and the 2032/38r and would love to see a loader test on the CX2510 like you did on the 220R MSL recently. These tractors are surprisingly similar in features, size and weight but it's hard to know, really, what the loader will lift unless you're able to do tests like you've done recently. Thanks for those, BTW. Still kind of wish the 1025r's 120R MSL had as much relative increase in capacity as the 220R MSL has versus the NSL.
Disagree. My CX2510 has no problem running around my property in high range with the BH attached (close to 4000 pounds). Without it it's even better. I would certain not have kicked a 3 speed transfer case out of bed but I have no complaints about the 2 speed I've got.If you don't get a 3 range if you go hydro, you've messed up big time.
The 165 in the engine model name designates 1.65 liters. It's definitely the same engine.
You're going to need more than a backhoe to get to "close to 4000 pounds"Disagree. My CX2510 has no problem running around my property in high range with the BH attached (close to 4000 pounds).
