Things break,just cause they break,but don't think these smaller tractors are big enough for backhoes and digging with fel work,,also believe you gotta be selective when useing 4wd,,unless you got kinda a loose or slick surface,probably shouldn't be pulling or pushing much in 4wd. Theres always a weak link somewheres,and you'll find it if you try hard enough.
Think I broke 4wd

We're a little confused about what is being said here. Maybe we missed it, but was the KIOTI tractor model ever posted. Not sure, but doesn't seem like this post can be based on a similar problem if we don't know the model. We are also not sure what an "axle carrier" is to brake. Take a good look at the front axle mount of the KIOTI tractors.... if really you happen to have one.

I always thought using 4wd made it easier on the running gear, distributing the load, so to say.

I have only used the 4WD a few times in the 256 hours I have had my CK35. Rather have the rear tires spin than bend or break something if I happen to hit something. When clearing snow a couple of years ago I did suspect there was a stump under the snow, pushed up against it and the rear tires just spun. Rather have that then whack into something. :laughing:

I never run on pavement in 4wd. You can feel the extra force it takes to turn while locked up. Always in the dirt and only as long as I need it.

4x4 is meant to be used and should not be affraid to use it
I do not use unless I need it but I always use it when I need it
In theory dry pavement should not be a huge issue as the axle is not locked with that said if have wheels fully turned and you have full load and you are in low and pushing imovable object you are asking for something to let go
I try not to be affraid of using my machines to do what they are designed to do
I can not imagine my tractor breaking when pulling a box blade in 4x4 on almost any surface

the last time mine broke I was in 4wd using the bushhog in the field, it got hung up, and when I lifted the hog( bang) no 4wd, not like i was spinning all fours up in the air and dropped it, but I bought a hoe for it and now I rarly use 4wd, I am almost afraid to,

Twenty five years now owning a compact tractor and I've very rarely ever taken it out of 4wd and never had an issue and I'm no angel when there is something in my way.
