Thinking about a CK2610H

plumbstraight · Jan 3, 2020

I bought one a couple years ago and I like it better than the Kubota or the JD. I have owned 2 kubotas and liked them, but the kioti ourshines them. One thing I would have as an extra is the remote hydraulic ports. Being able to plug in your bh without running a pto pump might be a plus, that can be argued, but is also good for a woodsplitter or hyd winch. All the toys just depends on a persons needs.

Had it delivered Saturday, guy spent about an hour with me and I put another hour on it just playing around getting more familiar.

A few things of note:
-The backhoe buckets come with bolt/on removable teeth (bought 16" and 9" buckets). I've seen reference in previous threads where they are welded on from Kioti.
-The backhoe really is easy to take on/off, I thought I'd have more trouble. Did it once while the guy was there, then tried again by myself to make sure I got it.
I honestly had more trouble getting the brush hog off (had to go get a rubber mallet) than the backhoe off/on!
-The toolbox is REALLY cheesy! The mount appears to be good/sturdy though so i'll be mounting a bigger box, probably a fat 50 can or similar.
-Determining which is 2wd and which is 4wd is difficult without looking VERY closely, and there doesn't seem to be ANY reference in the manual to help. I added some reflective mailbox numbers (saw that suggestion here somewhere) after I figured it out.
-Definitely glad I added the BH thumb last minute.

Very happy to far!
