Our new Kioti CK2610 - Why we bought this over a Kubota...

Long story short, the Kubota dealer ghosted us and apparently our small tractor purchase wasn't important enough for them. So, we looked at other brands around us and landed on the Kioti.

Was it worth it?

Let me know what you think and if you have any tips/tricks/comments I could use.

Thanks for watching.

Nice to see another fellow Kioti owner. Welcome to the pack!

I bought a Kioti RX 6620 about 9mos ago...I looked at New Holland, LS, Mahindra, Kubota, and Yanmar.( I already own a small Yanmar.) My 1st test drive was a NH 60 hp workmaster. I couldn't believe how disappointed I was with it. HUGE turning radius, very clumsy controls, clutch, ergonomics, etc. The Kubota dealer didn't seem very interested in doing business, no follow-up, had heard about Mahindra emission problems that lead to engine failure and no warranty support. Had heard great things about Kioti from Multi-line tractor dealers and Kioti owner YouTube videos. So I just had to decide which model. Started looking at CK and DK models 50-60 hp. Then test drove a RX 7320 at the dealership that I ultimately bought my 66 from. Man! What a joy to operate! Ergonomic, intuitive, powerful, comfortable. So after several months of test drives and studying the specs. I got the RX 6620 Cab. I absolutely love it! It is a BEAST! Loaded with features, some that Kubota doesn't even offer, like a rear 3 point control for hooking up implements so you don't have to climb up and down on the tractor. And it was about 10k less expensive than Kubota! The only issue is the rear end gets light with a lot of weight on the loader...common problem...so I added 800lbs of wheel weights... helped a bunch but I'm planning on making a 3 point mounted balast weight for when I don't have an implement on back for tight space maneuvering. Bottom line...I would encourage any tractor buyer to at least look at a Kioti before buying anything else! I think you've made a wise choice and welcome to the PACK!

I live in southwest In. and bought one five years ago and I have the same problems with my, But I won't get rid of it because I really like it and it has done more than I expected.

Apollo is already planning our trip out there so he can drive the tractor around, haha.

Good video, I have a CK10 also, the clutch is for the PTO only (and starting). To help with smooth shifting, just engage the hydro stat by pressing the forward or back peddle then release, you may need to try a couple of times, but it will shift smoothly without effort. If it's hard to shift don't force it, just try the above again, it just takes a split second to do. I hope this helps.

Nice tractor! I bought it's twin, a Bobcat CT2025. I gotta recommend you consider getting some pallet forks. They'll change your life. I use them ten times more than the bucket. Also, if you'll be using the loader for more than 400 lbs, you're going to want/need some rear ballast. You can get two birds stoned at once and get whatever attachment that'll work as ballast as well. Good luck!

thanks for sharing the video, congratulations with your new tractor, nice looking tractor

Tap you direction pedal and it will go easy same with 4 wheel drive. You can adjust your seat by turning the knob

I bought a kioti nx4510 because my kubota dealer didn’t want to give me the time of day and it’s been the best thing that has happened. I love my nx4510.

Thank you for talking about buying and Finance. I see you own a Chevy truck. I have always been a Ford pickup buyer. My last two pickups were FORDS three quarter ton. I had the same experience you did going to Ford Dealership. I had a Ford truck. The guy would NOT even test drive my 2000 for trade in value. He said I would have to put money down to be on the wait list, even for low mileage 2021 and newer pickups. I said "WTF" no way. I had already gone to Dodge
Liked the Cummins engine. That Dealership TEST drove my Ford NO requirements to buy, he found Low mileage Dodge Cummins he would bring in for me. I went to the local Chevy dealership, and fell in Love with the used low mileage 2021 1 Ton- Z-71 Silverado Duramax Allison 4 door 8 foot bed. Must have an 8 foot bed. My 2000 power plant was the V-10 Gas engine. Terrible fuel economy, but great hauler for my boat. The Chevy salesman talked more about his fishing trips, and no pressure to buy, spent as much time as we needed talking about everything (GM) had to offer. He let us take the truck for driving as much as we wanted. Gave us better Trade in value for my 2000 Ford. As soon as I started driving the 1 Ton with the driver's seat being fully automatic adjustment. Loved the comfort, felt like my wife's parents CADDY. I have taken it in soft Ocean sandy beaches, just powers through the soft sand. I have taken it up on the mountain pass in state with unplowed side roads to my brother-in-law at the ski area
The snow was up to the frame of the truck, it just powered though in 4 × 4 LOW. Like you said about experience with sales staff. I changed my life long Ford buying to GM because Dealership just did NOT seem to care about me when I went in. My wife had a Ford (Flex) after the warranty expired the service at Ford Dealership just seemed to NOT care anymore. I have always bought a Ford vehicle. This Silverado 1 Ton is my dream pickup. I love driving her.

The gear shifting issue is related to the hydrostatic trans. Tap the forward or reverse slight to change gears.

[jacobkunkel]

I’m in the middle of the purchase process for the CK2610 hst. For your shifting between H/M/L. Lightly press the forward or backward pedal then try shifting. That’s what my dealer told me. The clutch is only for the PTO

[richardbritton]

Ty information al. Get dealer to adjust linkage on shifter 😳👴🏆🚜🐕😎

[davidhosmer]

Push the hydro pedals for a moment to help shifting the LMH (meshes the gears)

A good dealer is the most important part of the decision, not necessarily the brand.

I literally was going to buy a Kubota for somewhere in the ballpark of $45, 000. I had great credit. It would of been a slam dunk buy, but the salesman failed on his part. He never followed thru with his side of the deal. Basically blew me and never called me back to finish the sale. Seen the salesman at a sporting good place and his jaw hit the ground when he seen. He tried to get me to come back into kubota and finish the sale. He was totally embarrassed and started making up excuses after excuses for not calling me back. His loss and Kubota lost out on $45, 000 and possibly future business from me. I refuse to go back to that Kubota dealership.

It's funny you mention Kubota...funny meaning sad, I had the EXACT same experience 2 years ago. Was actually leaning toward the orange ready to get the final "convincing" I needed to sign a deal, dealership here couldn't be bothered to discuss a thing. Crawled all over the model on the lot, not a single rep engaged. Tried to find someone and it seemed as though I was more a bother than a customer....went green based almost entirely on the great customer experience. Kioti was a close consideration, almost non existent in my area though.

[utubota]

I got the insurance on my tractor (another brand), and I think it is well worth the price. Thanks for your insight.

I had a KIOTI CK30 for 5yrs, No issues at all, very heavy tractor. I needed a larger tractor and was going to buy another one but dealer went out of business so I sold it and bought green since I have a dealer 10 miles away. The next real dealership is out of state and if I did have a issue didn't want to travel 10hrs+ to bring it in.
