My Kioti is FRUSTRATING!

I'll be honest, this is getting old. I wish my tractor were more reliable, hopefully these are the last problems I run into, parts seem to take forever to get.

Welcome to Mow, Sow & Grow! This channel is all about maintenance on our 22 acre property in Iowa, my mowing job and our Kioti CK2610 tractor. Join us as we renovate the property!

It is not a relief valve issue but rather the main control valve. It is an issue with one of the spools not closing all the way in the main control valve which allows hydraulic fluid to leak back into the tank and not hold the 3PH up as it should (as the 3PH cylinder looses fluid).

You can use the slow motion control valve as you did as a work around (closing it fully) as it is downstream of the MCV before the tank so it can act as a plug (again as a temporary workaround).

This issue is not only a Kioti issue. I had a TYM T264, and it had the same issue. I fixed it myself by removing the MCV and cleaning its spool bores out. Once I did that, it worked again as it should. TYM also sent me a new one, but I did not need it.

The issue that can happen is that a small particle from the machining process can work its way to the MCV and cause a spool to not close as it should. Unfortunately, it is hard to catch this during inspections as it can manifest itself later.

I do think these manufacturers could make it easier to get to the MCV and service it. That would be a huge help. The TYM T264 was not that difficult, but others are not as simple to do so.

Got a 2019 CK3510se, not a single problem out of mine so far. Hope you get it resolved soon!

Wow. Had my Kioti for 2 years now. It’s been flawless.

A relief valve is for overpressure situations. It relieves excess pressure back to the reservoir.

Really easy to rebuild. The o ring could have gotten sucked in causing the blow by . Which makes it jumpy. Pop off the ture. Pull out the valve body. And tear it down and rebuild. It isnt anything to do with power beyond as that is just constant flow to your loader valve and 3 point getting that part out is a bear. But that is super rare to see. Only have seen it on 4044r jd. I worl for kubota new holland dealer. Own the rx7320. And mine hasnt had that issue your explaining. But your a hydrostatic model compared to power shuttle . Major differances in each setup.

My Kiote has had THREE starters so far and now the fourth one has to be tapped to get it to work as well. only 60.2 hours on it so far 😠

Take the relief valve out and see if there's debris stuck in the seat. The dealer mechanic should check that before just replacing parts.

We had an issue with ours as well. 3pt hitch stuck down and would not raise back up. 18-hours on the odometer, very frustrating.

Designed to fail. Raised on a farm and 50 years ago, old farmers would leave tractors sitting outside year round with just a can over the exhaust pipe. When they needed them they would start right up and run all day. Never even heard of them even changing the oil.

Sorry to hear about the tractor problems. It's a bummer!! I've heard nothing but good things about the kioti tractors. Armstrong tractor are really good people to work with, I'm sure they will take good care of you.

My kioti NX series is 2-years old and has 170 hours. It will not start so I have to pay 500 dollars for the dealer to come and get it. I can’t get it on the trailer to bring there. A big boo to that situation.

Otherwise I like the tractor, but this starting issue is terrible with virtually no hours.

[bobchiggs]

Same deal with me. I got a Kubota. People seem to do well with them, but not me. A nightmare to work on and almost as many hours of maintenance as operating time.

[Confederatemule]

I hope things go better in the future for you and the Kioti. I have a 2023 CS2220 that does not come up to my expectations in any way. I am going to loose a ton of money and sell it and buy a new model for 2024, Mahindra 1126.

[freedomfilledlife]

I have a 2021 same one
150 hrs so far so good

At 3:47 what is in that bucket to the left of the drivers side lail light? Is it hydraulic oil?

[Mike-mnxo]

I bought a new cx2510 last month . Have non stop leaks on it. Bolts fallen out etc. wish I never bought one

[brentkubiak]

I've never dealt with them. Where are they at?

[brentkubiak]

O ok. I've never talked to them

[SzymczykProductions]

That's what happens when you cheap out and get a knock off brand vs a Kubota just saying
