Buying Advice Kioti CK4010HST opinions

[Rick Moen]

I am looking to upgrade to a factory cab tractor with air conditioning and found a 2017 Kioti CK4010HST for sale near me. Was just curious about the pros and cons of owning this tractor. If I remember they are pretty much the same as the Bobcat tractors were. Any information would be helpful. I currently have a 2011 JD 3032E and I love the tractor just looking to upgrade to a factory cab. Getting to old to not be comfortable.

Rick:
I had the open station machine and loved it.
Worked it like a rented mule.

If not for the need for more weight for root plowing it would still in my shop.
However, now you need feedback from cab owners.
Best I can tell cab adds weight, personally do not have a feel for how much HP is used for the added weight that does not contribute to work applied.

But the machine itself, nice work horse easy to work on and maintain.
All the best.

I've had my 2017 model for a few months now and really enjoy working outside much more than before on my open station. I'm glad my dealer still had one that year due to the live PTO. AC is cold as ice and heat is hot. The only thing is I'm constantly hitting my smv sign on low hanging branches. I did go around and trim low hanging branches to avoid issues later. Over all, I'd recommend it. I do wish it had more oomph going up my front hill in medium range instead of going to low gear though.

Yea the sign placement does not look like it was thought out very well. Looks more like they built the tractor realized, "oh crap we forgot the sign". That can be fixed I'm sure though. Any problems with emissions (DPF)? Tractor looks like it is very well laid out for the most part. I will be mowing about 5 acres with it mostly so I don't want a real heavy tractor but one that can do some work if needed.

Just to clarify (or confuse things) - I think all the recent models of the CKxx10 series cab tractors are actually -SE models. I can't seem to find a non-SE CK model w/ cab on the web site. The SE models have many options as standard, and also have a Independent PTO as of a certain Serial # (see CK4SE HC | Kioti Tractors ). I think the ones w/ the Live PTO will have a clutch pedal on the left, while the ones with an Independent PTO won't. Just be aware when comparing.

We recently got the CK3510se (Non-cab) and I think it's great. But, I do see a few narrow places on the lawn where there's a 'bottleneck', and I've started to notice the tire tracks in the lawn. If you're mowing and constantly rolling over the same spots, it might be a concern, depending on the frequency you're mowing, soil, and type of turf. I don't think I would want to be mowing the lawn with ours very often.

Yes it is the SE version that I am looking at. The dealer has it listed wrong but after further research I found the SE models have the cab availability.

I have a 2018 CK4010SEHC; and really love the machine and Cab.
Ice cold AC for hot Texas summers and great heater for the chilly winters. Remember; the Kioti factory installed cab models include every option available to tractors; including: Bluetooth radio, 2 rear remotes, 4WD, Link peddle and Hydrostat Transmission.

Only negative, is low tree branchs play havoc with my cab, and so I spent a full day with chainsaw and step ladder pruning all my trees for easy passage.

My 4010 is last year痴 model, with the factory cab. It was radio ready, but the receiver wasn稚 part of the package.

Mine also has the left side clutch pedal..

The slow moving vehicle placard was an issue working under trees and going through the garage door, so I simply inverted it. Had to drill one hole in the sign, and it痴 not perfectly vertical, but it works fine.
