So you got the shop manual from the dealer? How much? I've seen digital versions for sale for $40 but I like paper manuals.

I ordered it I think it will arrive about same time as new CK2510. Didn't even ask price, I just want it.
I bought one for CK and as I recall it was about $80.

Hi Buggs, No..Just the filter? don't think its needed?he oil should be fine..

Here is the thing on changing the oil in the back of the tractors. Some people drain theirs and find metal shavings, others drain theirs and find nothing leaving them to feel like they wasted the oil. The problem is, the owner of the tractor will not know if his oil is contaminated until they drain it. The smaller tractors run much less fluid in the rear ends, so my advice is to not be cheap, and change it. I know the manual says to change the rear oil and filter at 50 hours on the CK20S. At just a little over 7 gallons, it is no big deal.

I've decided to change it all. The filters was the painful part $$$$$$
And I bought a chain wrench since I've heard they're hard to get off.

I did the full service. The filter underneath was a PITA to get off. I had read how hard it was and was ready with a chain wrench I got from Harbor Freight for $6. Good thing I did. The others came off with a standard wrench. I used a plastic cement mixing trough to catch all the fluid. The fluid wasn't clear, slightly honey colored. Very little gunk on the magnetic drain plug. Oddly enough it only took 5 gal of new fluid not the listed 5+.

Does it have the two drain plugs in the lower rear axle area like my DK has.. On the DK they had about a gallon each come out of them. The huge drain plug in the middle of the transmisson comes out like a river. But the ones on the rear differential area much smaller.

Yep. Two on rear axle, one forward of the large plug and then the big magnet plug. Only an hour or two since the change but it seems quieter (maybe wishful thinking)

Maybe you put a better quality fluid back in it than was put in at the factory. I have very little hydro whine, I can only hear it under load in M and H ranges, I never hear any in L range. But I have noticed the smaller the tractor the louder the hydro whine seems to be. I don't know if it is because of smaller fittings that the fluid goes thru makes for more whine or what. But in listening to videos of small hydro tractors, they just seem to make more noise.

Kioti makes it hard to find the true hyd system specs. You need to have a service manual to
find the flow and pressure available for implements. Brochures show a "total" flow, which includes
the flow used for power steering. So the 11.3 number is surely a combined total flow. To
compare, my CK30 has 8.3GPM/2560psi hydraulics, but brochures list 12.3GPM.

I do not recall the specs for the CK20 I bought new in 2006, but I think it was somewhere around


2000psi and 6-7GPM available for implements. I would like to know what the true #s are for
both units. Anyone with a service manual for both CK20 and 2510 to check?

It seems to have one pump. If it's delivering 11gpm but the power steering isn't using any (say while using the BH or FEL), then there should still be 11 gpmfor the backhoe or FEL.
