KIOTI DIY SERVICING. WHAT'S INVOLVED?

Should you perform the scheduled maintenance yourself, or have the dealer do it? Let's take a look.

By far the best Kioti maintenance video i have found on YouTube. Thankyou from New Zealand.

Thank you for emphasizing the mechanical locks on the loader cylinders!!! I see so many people doing YouTube videos about servicing their tractor without locking the loader up. Great video!

Thankyou, I've saved this video for the future needs!
My Story- I bought a new DK4720 and 6ft Brush hog, took it in for 1st service, was to be acouple day's.
I got the call, a hydraulic leak deep in the tractor, they had to split the tractor, took 2 months due to getting parts.
Attention all, if your new tractor is split in half, DON'T go there and see that! It's traumatizing

You know what would be great? since you are the largest Kioti dealer in the country. Set up a online parts department that is easy to use and find parts. I’m a hour away from my dealer and I’d order all my filters from you if the price was right.

Hi Larry, Thanks very much for taking the time and effort to produce this video, apart from being very well presented and very interesting your explanations as to how and why things need to be done and helpful suggestions ( paint on dipsticks) adds to my knowledge and understanding, It also reduces the amount of angst when undertaking a DIY service and the concerns of am I doing this correctly, which by and large I have been, it just reduces the worry. I think the information provided in the Owner’s manual is of great assistance, in encouraging owners to do the services themselves. As you know full well moving a tractor off property creates it’s own set of costs & difficulties which I want to keep to a minimum.
Apart from the initial 50 & 100 hour services, which I watched the mechanic conduct, on our now 10 year old CK35 I have undertaken all of the services myself, I am currently working my way through the 400 hour service at the moment. Please keep producing your videos I subscribed awhile back and have enjoyed watching each one, thanks again keep up the great work, looking forward to your next video, when you have the time.

Best regards David Maxwell, 345 Gordon Mount Egerton Road Mount Egerton, Victoria 3352, Australia.

Thank you Sir! Very helpful and detailed instructions to keep the machines in great shape! Fantastic!

I bought a ck3510 from you guys, just recently.. so far so good (CS wise), I would like to just thank you for taking the time to make these... I got some smack talk buying a Kioti over a the other one lol... I hope with knowledge and time I can show people your product and service make just as good if not better.... thanks again.

Great video, very informative. We've got a DK5810 HST on order, and your video has assured me that I will be able to carry out all the general maintenance tasks and checks. Thank you very much 😊

This is Mike's. You Touch. You DIE! That was a great LOVE it.

The only different advice I would give is to use a grease with moly in it. I also highly recommend the "lock-n-lube" which makes life easier.

[APBT-Bandog]

Thanks for your videos. Even though I didn't get my Kioti tractor from your dealership due to my location, I do buy all my parts from your stores as a way of saying thank you for your videos.

[rodneysr.]

Mike you're the man. Great job my friend.

[SpeedyCotton]

I should have my CK2610 in about a week. I'm in Texas but if I move, I will look for a place near you guys. Great video and thanks.

[kurtkovich]

Good video. I just did the 50-hour service on my DK5310SE. Pretty straightforward. The trickiest part was the hydraulic filter. More hydraulic fluid came out than I expected. There's a magnet on the tractor filter stem (to catch little bits of metal in the fluid), but the magnet can make it a little tricky getting the filter off quickly without having fluid come out.

Good video Mike. Your phone issues are a bit frustrating though. Many times I get "sorry your call can't be completed", or "the person you're trying to reach is unavailable", after one ring. Called 4x this past week and couldn't get through. Fortunately I had Thomas's cell and he helped out. I have a 20 year old DK 35, bought new from Charlie's Red Barn, with backhoe attachment (PTO driven) and I've beaten it to death. A little over 1000 hours and it keeps on keeping on. I've dug over 150 house and home addition footings with it and never found any soil/clay/rock it couldn't handle, and luckily with no mechanical issues. I once pulled a 7'x5'x12" stone out of a dig with it in Hendersonville. Couldn't believe it. The only real complaint is the seat quality, both on the tractor and backhoe. They quickly split and virtually shredded into pieces. I have yet to find a good replacement that doesn't cost a fortune. And the backhoe seat doesn't tilt forward which would greatly help when putting the backhoe on. Great machine overall though

Bought a CK3510SE last month, managed to do the 50 hour service myself. Had to call my dealer and get a quick walkthrough on the bleed bolt/fuel filter but that's about as complicated as it got for my machine.

Great video! Thanks for putting this together. You clearly care more about your customers than the nominal profits of pushing all service to your stores. I have a question about checking fluid levels. For example, do i screw the stick/cap back in to the front axle to check or just stick it back in the hole and check without screwing it down? Same questions for the hydraulic fluid in the back? Push the dip stick al of the way in or just touch the opening?

[tfrantastic]

This video was great. I’m excited to see if there is the same video for the CS2220>

[JoeTheFarmer]

Mike, serious question. How do you recommend checking tire pressure in tires loaded with rim guard? Just be sure that the valve is at the top when checking? Should the pressure be the same with the rim guard in the tire? Great video. Thanks!!!
