Found this little doozy yesterday after pushing some snow back to make room on my lot. Anyone else have this happen? The crack goes all the way around. I have a guy fixing it this week and reinforcing the span across. I recommend anyone with the SL2410 loader to do the same. The metal isn't super strong there ..read more

I just purchased an NX6010 HST cab (14 hours). It is not the tractor my 14-year-old DK45HST cab is. Yea, it has more horsepower plus major unwanted problems. I was told that the NX had a heavier front axle and was built better than my DK45. Not true. The NX hesitates when it moves forward or back, then jumps rapidly. My buddy was helping me hook up a 3-point counterweight, and I started to creep back, but it hesitated and then jumped. Luckily, he was not between the tractor and the... Read more ..read more

Hi, I priced Mahindra 3316 and 3535 today. (posted on mahindra forum here) I was offered a Kioti ck35 with loader for midd 15's. It looks like a really nice machine and has a suspension seat , with detachable loader.. What do ya'll think of this one . 5 grand cheaper that the 3535 makes me like it a lot and it has ag tires which I need... I am most concerned about quality - and what I understand it is made in S korea and is well done. What do ya'll think of this one ? Thanks!! Bordercollie ..read more

A dealer is considering my proposal to take our used Kioti in trade, on a new CK2610HST. I just went online & saw where there is up to $3100 rebates on CK models, thru Feb 28. So, exactly how much is the rebate on the CK2610HST model ? Is this rebate something I will get from Kioti, automatically, AFTER I buy, or is it something a dealer can just lie about & say they have already figured that rebate in with the price they offer ? Also, I saw online that Kioti gives a $150 rebate to... Read more ..read more

Howdy, I am looking for the serial number on an old Kioti DK55C tractor. I have looked forward of the clutch on the transmission housing, but cannot find it. Maybe obscured by paint or dirt? Can anyone provide a description of where it might be located? Thanks in advance ..read more

My DK 45 is starting hard with lots of smoke. Replaced glow plugs, and associated 70A relay. New ignition switch. I am reading 8.4 V at the third glow plug on a cold start and it does not increase with time until the controller shuts down. Suspecting that the pre heat controller is not functioning properly? Anyone out there with an ohmeter and a DK 45 that can test their voltage as the glow plugs heat up, or anyone know what this may be? Thanks so much ..read more

We're putting up new HT fence . Real heavy duty tornado like wire but stretches like a charm. The only problem I had was the DK40 being pulled backwards even with both brakes locked. But.. with a chock behind the rear wheels, it held like a tight drum or as they say a "fiddle string ..read more

Hello, I recently bought a 2008 kioti dk45s with a woods backhoe mounted to it. (Works great) I took the backhoe off and tried to lower the 3 point arms and they don’t seem to go down. I’ve check the speed control it seems to do nothing. What am I missing here? All levers move like they should. When I bought the tractor it didn’t come with any of the 3 point hitch arms or anything else. Previous owner only used the backhoe and didn’t have any of the 3 point arms. Is there a simple hydraulic... Read more ..read more
