Thank you!

Thx! I'd be lying if I said there hadn't been a few times I've repositioned myself to feel more comfortable. 😂

Thx! I had heard of people bending arms by not centering a load, so I do try to be as close to the COG as possible. Flipped 3 tractors? What was that experience like? Is it like operating a forklift (feet planted, brace and lean away from impact, kiss butt goodbye)? I think that's the procedure, if I remember correctly 😆

@@ShapingTheLandscape I have been driving tractors for 70 years, I flipped the tractors over backwards while logging When I was a kid. That was not uncommon.

Not yet. Haven't been asked to.

Thx! Yes, at the time of the video it was $1600. Now, Amazon has it for $1100. It's a 12x20 and I gave it about an extra 18" of lift by using the logs. I'll grab the link and post in a 2nd response. My first response never posted (its just gone), not yet anyway, so if you end up seeing a 3rd response, you'll understand why.

RUclips continues to delete any response that I try to put a link in.

And thanks again for the attention provided ... 😊

Thx! Yes, too much water if you ask me. Haha

I am 😁

A little over 8 cord was the final results. All but 2 logs (that wouldn't fit on the processor) were done by the end of that 1 day.

Absolutely!

Ty! I guess I missed this comment 2w ago. My bad. Yes, I've been keeping an eye out, and it does pop up on the marketplace. Since putting the carport together, I have decided to actually leave it open for now. I may change my mind after a winter. We'll see. 😊

As of 2023 and on, only 2620s will be available new. They're taking the place of the 2610. As far as I'm aware, that is. The 2620s are the same, with the exception of the 3rd function joystick (not the valves or hoses, though) and new hood design. Other than that, everything else is pretty much the same.

Thx! Yes, it will look nice once I put the ledge pack on it. I still need to revisit that project and clean it up a bit. Lots of rain this year, and it made a little mess of the clay-covered hill.

So far, I've really enjoyed it. There's not a whole lot different from the 2610. Different hood, and it comes with the 3rd function loader handle. Not the valve kit, just the handle with the buttons. My understanding is that they will phase out the 2610, so it may be beneficial to grab a leftover at a possible discount and just have the 3rd function added.

I just didn't want to deal with the emissions. I already drive a 2013 Ram 3500 with the DPF filter. Had to pull that out last fall and clean it. It was that or a $4500 new one. When I heard that the 26hp is the same motor as the 35hp, but without the DPF, I decided to go that route. There's videos showing how to turn up the fuel screw to get all of the power. I'm just waiting on the warranty to run out 🤫

@ShapingTheLandscape talked with the mechanic he said he's yet to see one with a dpf problem yet in two years I'm sure one day it will be a problem though

Also he said you will never put enough hours on it to worry about it going bad just let it regen every 30 hours I'll be hard pressed to get 30 hours in one years time even

@@Patriot-pq1ku I had 30 hours in just repairing my driveway. Got it in March and I'm already at 110+ hours. You never know just how much fun you'll find, to have with it.

@@Patriot-pq1ku I blew my emissions filter out because One of the injectors failed. Mechanic told me it was the first one they’ve seen.

I can agree with that logic.

Yes, it's the 2023 Kioti CK2620

Thanks, it wasn't too bad actually. Started too early in the season, but it all worked out.

Thank you! Yes, I do have a loader, I had it lifted during the video for easy hood access. All of those grease points are all within sight, along the outside of the loader arms. The backhoe has some hidden, or, easily missed fittings. It requires changing it's orientation to get them all. Is that perhaps what you meant when you said loader?

Sorry, just noticed this comment. It handles it pretty well. I don't even run the RPMs very high, around 1200-1400. It has enough power to lift yourself and reposition the back of the tractor. Push yourself backwards or pull yourself forwards. The backhoe was around $9k add-on and it included the rear remotes, in my deal anyway. 16" bucket came with it.

Yes, it's really not too bad. The first time I put it back on, I had one slight issue getting all the back into it. Turned out to be some dirt/debris in the slot where the subframe slides in. Got that out and pins dropped in.

Tractor handles it perfectly. My only issue is remembering I have a lot more length to me, when it's on. I usually dig with a rather low RPM, 1400 to maybe 1800. The thumb is nice. Comes in handy.

Hey there! Appreciate the comment. I typically run around 1200 rpm, if digging in soft material. To speed up a little I'll bump it to 1500. If I'm around a lot of roots or dense material I'll go up to 1800 rpm. I like to conserve fuel, so the lower I can operate it, the better. Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast. Sometimes you just need a little more hydraulic flow, though.

That's great to hear! Thx for the feedback 😀 👍 cheers to your adventures still to come! I've been very happy with my Kioti.

Yes, the tree they came from was dropped during that video.

Thank you for your comment. I too am a little concerned. I asked my dealer if other filters would void warranty and was told no. Perhaps he wasn't giving me good info. So far, 22 hours after service and all is well. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on things. Even OEM equipment can be bad sometimes (out of box failure), but, I suppose they would honor anything with their name on it. Or, I hope they would, anyway.

Thank you for your comment! I think I would've preferred all Kioti filters, just to keep everything the same. The kit that I wanted wasn't in stock (just my luck) at the time and I was already just over 50 hours. The oil filter ended up getting delayed in the mail which is why I went to my local parts store and grabbed one. I had the day off to do the service and wasn't going to wait. I had spoken to my dealer in regards to warranty and was told that as long as the lubes and filters matched spec, then I was fine. The book states using KIOTI brand items, but, doesn't specifically say that one will void their warranty by using other brands. Not that I could find, anyway.
