The Kioti has landed.

I posted this in regards to the loader problem in the attachments section of TBN.

I am going to look at that thing that appears to be some kind of flow control.

Also on the hyd oil. I bought some oil at TSC that matched the specs for Kabota UDT and several others. It was 25.00 for 5 gallons. I think it's called Traveller Premium Universal Hydraulic/Transmission oil.
thx

Not very familiar with that system , I had a similar problem the other day with another piece of equipment and it was just a bad quick connect.

Thanks Jim and Mathey. Maybe I can get TSC to order that fluid for the store here. I guess we don't have enough tractor people in this area to stock it as they don't list having it at my local store. The price is cheaper than either the Exxon torque fluid and way less than the Shell Donax. John

Forgot to feedback that I fixed the loader problem. It was the hex shaped thingy on the valve assemble. It was some kind of flow control. One direction would flow without restriction. The other way an orfice would move back into place and *greatly* restrict the flow. I took it off and the loader is happy now. It still will not lift the front of the tractor with the lift cylinders (I figured that thingy had nothing to do with that). I did get email from a rep at Buhler and he mentioned that in some case it will not lift the tractor because of the rod diameter limits the cylinder in that direction. My lift cylinders are 2" diameter with 1.5" rods. He went on to say that the bucket will lift it and mine does very easily. Needless to say the restrictor thing will not go back onto my tractor.

Thanks to all for information. Greatly appreciated being that I'm a novice at this Kioti stuff. Can't wait to get out to the land and use it. But everything is mud here.
