New Tractor! Kioti CK2610 HST

[SManZ350]

We did it! We bought a Kioti CK2610 HST over the weekend and it was delivered yesterday. It came with the newer KL4030 loader and we got a great price on a 6' Yanmar YRB72C rear blade (rebranded Woods RBS72P) with it. We ran it around for an hour last night and everything is working well and its easy to use. I cut down some of the high spots along the edge of the driveway with the rear blade and I'm glad I got one with tilt and offset features.

Big congratulations! I may end up with one of those next month.

The EA was my first choice but the 10 week lead time had me looking for alternatives. The EA blade had convenient pins to adjust offset, tilt, and angle and I would have preferred that. This Woods blade has a pin for angle but I have to loosen two bolts and wrangle the blade around for offset and tilt. Its a minor inconvenience I can handle with my cordless impact, especially considering I got the Woods blade for $500. On the plus side, with the bolt adjustment I am not stuck with specific settings for tilt and offset. I can move it as much or as little as I want.

I'll be going by Harbor Freight this week to get some larger wrenches for the top link adjustment. I don't have anything that big since I usually work on motorcycles!

I'm a bit of a maniac when it comes to setup. I spent about a half hour checking over all the things from the owners manual. The dealer did a great job with setup. All the pivots appeared to be freshly greased, fluids were all full (maybe just a little high). The tire pressures were low but when I checked the manual they had been filled close to spec for R1 tires and R4 were almost twice as much so I filled them up.

I figured I would need to rotate the rears so the valve stem was on the top side of the rim to keep the ballast fluid from spraying everywhere so I did that before I aired them. Was I correct on this?

Checking the air pressure with valve stems at top to keep fluid from spraying out was correct. Nice tractor, it will serve you well, congratulation

Congratulations on your new tractor!

FWIW my R4's have only air in them and they arrived with the correct pressure (according to the manual for R4's) but based on the contact patch they were way overinflated, the side edges of the tread didn't even touch the pavement. I had to lower both front and rears to just over 1/2 what the manual listed.
