I'm an owner of "the other orange" tractor, but the more I see of the Kioti, the more I am impressed. My neighbor has one and puts it through its paces, and it has performed flawlessly. A good warranty and dealer support as well.
Agree, they are worth checking out, I owned 3 Kubotas before I tried this brand, of course I looked at others as well and test drove/operated them etc.. You couldn't get me to switch back, pricing, warranty, features(depending on model) are a step ahead of the competition . Just got a new DK4720SE I'll be doing another video this month!
Sometimes a small world. I was watching / listening to your video thinking how familiar the terrain and vegetation is. When I heard you mention Ryan and Brooksville I about fell outa my chair! Last Monday, March 21, I completed my final accessory list with Ryan on my Kioti tractor which had just arrived. I am currently awaiting delivery in the next few days. And I agree with you, Ryan is a great, knowledgeable Dealer and helped me so much. Never tried to sell me what I don't need and helped me with specifics of what I do need. I'm just north in Crystal River and will be clearing Palmettos among the Long Needle Pines as you are!
That's awesome Mark! He loved my video when I sent it to him!!! Hard to find guys like him anymore! Ryan should be running corporate Kioti in my opinion!!!
Your FEL lift capacity for the CK tractors are all the same -1800lbs at the pins. The only thing that the extra HP is getting you is at the PTO, which is helpful for hogging & other PTO jobs. A great tractor.
I think the Kioti has a slightly higher hydraulic flow than the others too, not sure if that helps lift capacity. By far the best tractor I've owned so far!!
It seems like an impressive tractor by sight and stats on paper. My CK3510SE at 160 hrs has been back to the dealer 6 times. Can't begin to tell you all the issues. Hope you have better luck. Ask your dealer about a recent recall on your seat safety switch. Noticed you took your lights off your ROPS. Good. When bushhogging you will smack them on trees. Good luck.
Thanks for the video. I’ve got the ck3510. Have had it for over 2 years now. Most of its work gets done in winter moving snow here in vermont. No big problems yet, just a couple loose bolts.
Outside of the couple of audio issues at the beginning, great video. Exactly what I was looking for. Trying to decide on if the savings are worth it between the 25/35/40, since they all have the same hydraulic flow and lift power.
Stop Stop Stop! Don’t be fooled into thinking they all have the same lift power, not true and here’s why. I just got my CK 2610 and just weeks ago my 2475 Backhoe came and was mounted. Ok, here’s the deal. These 3 machines share same hydraulic systems but, I can lug my machine down and kill the engine. And while that’s a horrible thing to do to a new diesel in its break-in period it happened several times. I was running steady 2200rpm and killed it pulling those damn Palmetto Root Balls. They are truly awful. But the CK 4010 ripped them out handily!! More power means more staying power, more back up torque. Now keep in mind that the 2610 is the old Kioti 35hp engine that Kioti destined to meet EPA mandates. They arranged a special plug cap over the injector adjustment screw. You can’t remove it unless you’re serious and then you must deemed the entire cover off which will of course void your warranty if seen and they will see it during shop maintenance. I haven’t changed mine yet but watched someone do it and saw and felt the change. Returning it to its former 35hp glory is satisfying. Defined engines seem even worse than tiny engines. Point is 40hp still out pulls 26hp period.
I noticed you have the 4030c loader, which is a slightly different design than the 4030. The C model actually has a slightly higher lift capacity at 60" but less max height and less reach at full height according to the specs on Kioti's website. Have you noticed any limitations based on the reduced height and reach?
I haven't noticed any limitations, I have maxed out with a couple oak logs that had to have been 2000+lbs. I'll try and get another video when moving big stuff!
I removed the mirrors, the toolbox and signal lights that were on the ROPS as well. The only modification I may do is install a rear-facing fog light, to see the three point and back at night. The headlights actually work really great forward looking.
I did the 410-570mm which in my opinion is too short! If I was to order again which I may do I'll get the 460-670mm one. Best deal I found was on eBay (sparepartsholland) was the seller

Looked at them 2 days ago. Lady told me the 35 and 40 were same tractor, just fuel injector is turned up

Im in webster and go to the brooksville kioti dealer when i need something done to my dk5510

Nice video. My CK4010 has been a good one. 410 hrs and counting.

Ugh, well if I have problems I will post! At least it has a 6yr warranty!!!

I think the power only comes in handy with the PTO and what your running on that. I was in medium range and it didn't bog at all at 2300rpm

Good stuff, bro! I just subscribed! "wink"
Thank you, I should be putting another one up here shortly!!

That is a really sharp tractor. Are you going to be doing any modifications to it? Adding light bars, mirrors, chain saw holder , etc?
I removed the mirrors, the toolbox and signal lights that were on the ROPS as well. The only modification I may do is install a rear-facing fog light, to see the three point and back at night. The headlights actually work really great forward looking.
Everywhere I look, there's Gary. WHAT'S UP, TROUBLEMAKER????
@@FabbedFun , well hello Logan 👋
Exact same set up I have.
All I ever need for the homestead!
What length top link did you go with, no problem with the hoses binding coming out of the top of top link?
I did the 410-570mm which in my opinion is too short! If I was to order again which I may do I'll get the 460-670mm one. Best deal I found was on eBay (sparepartsholland) was the seller
Oh and no the hoses never gave issues. As you see I extend out and rest it on the tow bar since the hanging bracket didn't work.
Did you say if your tires were filled with beet juice or not? Rear only!!!!
I filled all four tires on my kioti
I did not have my tires filled on this video.
What was price for tractor? Am looking between this and the dk4710se
Depends on options, that will change price a lot. With all attachments it was 37. offerup.co/BFZ1rsRSOsb
What was that that ran through the bushes in the background?
Probably my dog, I'll go back and watch to see. He follows me everywhere!
What make and model is that grapple? I have the CK3510SE and looking for a grapple.
It's a ProWorks, I think it's just as good as the Titan, but I don't have experience with Titan yet
how much was the diff in price in your area? in my area it was 2k...
That's what it was here too, I think the company sets the prices for their dealers
