Showroom Shine, I am an owner of a CS2410 and I have a couple of questions for you if you do not mind,

1.) Does the new tooth bar you installed help with digging? I would like to purchase on myself, but didn't know if it was worth the money.

2.) Did loading the real tires help much? I want to do that also, but figured since the tires were so small it wouldn't add much weight.

3.) Have you noticed where the Hydro filter is located (I know there are two, the one between the wheels)? It seems to be just sticking out to be broken off while in deep brush. Also I have knocked a dent in the filter by removing the MMM. It seems to catch it while sliding out. I just found that a poor design location.

- My tractor had water in the diesel or bad diesel and ran rough when I first purchased also. So you wasn't the only one. (Added fresh diesel and had no problems since)

- I don't like the height of the ROPS either. I hung mine on the guide wire coming off an electric pole, and like to brought the whole mess down on my head. (It was a pants changing experience)! I just leave mine folded down.

1) Tooth bar is a requirement. My bucket wouldnt do *ANY* digging when I got it. It would move loose material just fine, but no digging. If I were to do it over again, I'd get a normal tooth bar. I think the Pirhana is great, and it works very well for brush, but I think a normal tooth bar would *dig* better.

2) They loaded the tires before I used it, so I'm not sure. Apparently you can get 70lbs in the rears, so I'm sure it helps.

3) I have, they make a filter guard for it that I've been meaning to get. Mine also has a dent from removing the MMM.

I wouldnt leave the ROPS down, that provides no protection. The brochures I saw from Kioti showed the ROPS would fold at an angle, allowing it to still be up and used safely but not be as high. In reality the ROPS wont actually do that.

Few new pictures. First is with the bush hog with only the tractor, no loader. Needs the loader, wayyyy to light in the front. I'm going to to mount the hitch on the bush hog lower to the mower so I can raise it up higher. In the picture its as high as its going to go.

Second is after I've mowed some wet grass. The tractor is going to the dealer this week, and I wanted to mow before it left. Bad part is, it just finished raining a good inch while I was doing it. Mowed the yard, and some of the pasture to give the mower a test. Never bogged mowing at 4" super wet grass that was halfway knee high.

Brought it back and cleaned it up. Removed the deck and washed/waxed the tractor. Its headed to the dealer this week for some warranty issues. He's taking care of the squealing belt, brake adjustment, tie rod boot and diff lock problem. My dealer (Cavalier Equipment Cloverdale VA) is coming to pick the tractor up since he know's I dont have a trailer, extremely nice. These people are who I try to model my own equipment sales career after in customer service.

Since the Kioti dealer is right across the street from my dealer, once he's done he's bringing my tractor over to my shop and we are going to dyno the CS2410! We dyno every tractor that leaves the lot, and I'd love to dyno my tractor. I'll make sure to take a video.

Thanks for all your input. I called my dealer about a filter guard for the HST Filter, and they said they do not make one. If you know of one, can you help with part# or website? Please post your dyno results, I find that interesting!

Since you work for Case/IH check and see if those parts are available through Case, the Kioti and Case DX24E are the same tractor
