2 year (223hrs) Kioti CK4010 review

[@geremychubbuck3730]

Don't panic. I have a 2017 CK3510 and had the same leak on the transmission and I too was very concerned. It turned out being a small slit in a shifter boot on top of the transmission. Have a look closely (the seat needs to come off) and I'll bet that it is a small torn shifter boot. I love my CK3510 and have used it about 250 hours as well. Good review. Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback. I believe they told me it was an O ring. It’s fixed and I now have 325 hrs on it with no issues.

Wes, I had the same problem with coolant escaping the radiator after running hard and parking...psssss onto the floor. I bought one of these from Amazon "BLACKHORSE-RACING 3" X 9" Radiator Coolant Overflow Puke Tank". It captures the antifreeze/water rather than blowing it out where the dogs or cats can lick it up. Not expensive, just need to find the right place to install it. Hope all is going well....

Man that is several leaks for just 2 years. I just bought mine , sure hope I don't have the same issues

[@wesfogle3311]

It did concern me but now it’s over 6 yrs old and have not had anymore issues or leaks. Everything was covered under warranty. Now that the warranty has expired the real test starts.

I have exactly the same problems with my ROPS. I spend a lot of time mowing and we have lots of trees (permanently lost my side hazard lights on my NH TC33D many many years ago). It's either trim up the trees or I leave it at the furthest down position. My ROPS have been down since 2003...my Ford 8N didn't have a ROPS. Hope the "Safety Sallys" aren't reading this. 🚫

I have watched a couple reviews , that leak at the power steering pump i have seen that being a recurring issue.

[@wesfogle3311]

deer rudy it seems to be fixed now. We will see

@@wesfogle3311 good to hear!

[@jrprahl5429]

Hi Wes! Any update on your repairs?

[@wesfogle3311]

It is supposed to be ready Tuesday but I will be traveling so it may be a week or so before I go get it. They told me last week that the leak under the steering wheel was the steering pump. They replaced it which took 1 week to get the pump. The leak under the middle of the tractor was an O ring. If that fixed it, then it was nothing major. It’s been wet here in North GA so I’ve been in no hurry to get it. I will give a full update and feedback on the service once I get it back and run it a few hours. Thanks for asking.

[@jrprahl5429]

@@wesfogle3311 Sounds like a potentially happy ending thus far. I look forward to hearing an update after you get it back. I'm looking at the CK3510SE or 4010SE right now. They seem like fantastic tractors save for a few issues here and there. Thank you for sharing!

[@travishill260]

I had to laugh.....”I like it in the rear,.........of the tractor.” Good save. 🤣

[@wesfogle3311]

Travis Hill I knew someone would catch that . lol. I panicked when I said that and hurried to recover.

[@marcushalvorsen5189]

@@wesfogle3311 Did everything end up working out? Im about to make my first tractor purchase. Going between the CK4010 and the Kubota 4701.

[@devshewitt4809]
