My New (to me) CK3510 SE HST

[SJay]

The tires are R4's

 

[Ranchofla]

Can anyone tell me what type of tires I have from the picture that I posted? The seller told me there were R1, but I am not sure. I was hoping for R4.

R3 Turf
R1 Ag
R4 Industrial




Rancho
CK20 HST

The tires are R4's

I thought they were, the seller insisted he had them changed to R1 when he bought the tractor.

Thank you

Congrats on such a nice bargain...!!!
So implements, having come from a CK4010HST I can share that you can get UP to a 5' medium duty cutter. It will cover tire track fine and leave a nice cut.
The medium duty cutters are about 200+lbs heavier then a light duty cutter, If you need one to cut 2" sized brush. If your area is just grass and less then 2" brush then a light duty will serve you well.
It will handle a 6 box blade easily. My Ag Armstrong is 610 lbs or so and it had no issues cutting swales and pulling dirt. Just have to get time to see how much or hard you can work it and will serve you well.

Landscape rake for field cleanup is better then stooping over picking up large limbs. Then you grapple can scoop it all up.

Man can't get over how well you did on the deal; awesome man just awesome....
Water filled tires will help put more work to the ground. I can tell you after 250 hours on the 4010 this machine is a work hoss...you will really enjoy the amount of work you can get done.

Like posted already, but to add the FEL manual has the torque specs for most all bolt sizes.
So check rims, loader bolts and ROPS bolts.

Also, I'd recommend a chain vise grip oil filter tool. The new filters are cranked on there and then get a heavy coat of paint. So the 50 hours service can be a breeze with the right tool the first time out.
I can't explain how or why but when checking out the hyd. fluid do not take the first reading as the correct fluid level. It will always read below low level.
Remove dip stick wipe clean reinsert and then you will get correct level indication.

Congrats again......:thumbsup: :drink:

I am looking at EA attachments for the grapple. I just realized I am right down the road about 20 minutes from them.

Congratulations on the new tractor!

EA makes a nice grapple. They can advise you on the best match for your intended tasks, e.g. single vs. dual lid, root vs. root rake, and of course size. Don't go too big. IMO, 60" is max, and 54" better, for your CK3510SE. Anything wider gains you nothing, and you'd lose some of the maneuverability that makes the CK10 series such a quick, nimble tractor for its power and frame size. I'd look seriously at the EA 54" dual-lid Wicked Root Grapple v.2. I have the 60" model, and use it on both my CK3510SE HST and my NX4510HST/cab. I bought it for my NX, and had been considering a 72" or 66". Even for the heavy NX, Travis advised 60" for better point-load concentration and more maneuverability, especially in woods. Very glad I went with that recommendation.

Yeah I am really happy with the deal. Especially happy that it still has most of the warranty left. I had it transferred by the dealer and there was no charge. The seller even delivered it for free from 2 hours away.


Thank you for all of the info on attachments.

 

[kvmatz]

Wow, wish I could find that deal myself.

Oh right, things to check:
Loader and wheel bolts - re-torque to spec (edit: don't loosen and re-torque, just set your torque wrench and check if they are still tight enough). Hopefully none are loose, but it can happen.
I would find every grease point and inspect/clean/grease.
Check hydraulic and engine lube oil levels/condition. Coolant too.

Might as well put some wax on it now too, if the body panels and big frame areas are still clean enough!

Where would I find the torque specs? Are they in the owner's manual? (I don't have access to my manual for a few days.)

 

[deezler]

Yeah, should be in the owners manual. Here is a screen shot from the manual, for lug nut torque anyway. Might have to make educated guesses on the loader bolts. I can't seem to get the whole manual to upload here.

 

[YLee Kioti]

The FEL manual will have full chart of torque specs for loader and all other sized bolts that can be used to check ROPs as well.
