2021 Kioti CK2610 HST Cab Diesel Tractor Snowplowing

[@Cummins6720]

My rx7320 is a beast with a zmi 8 foot pusher and land pride inverted blower. Pretty much cant stop it . Our laat storm was 22 inches. Half fluffy snow. Half wet snow. 12 hours for 126 driveways and 10 commercial lots. 4 tanks of fuel. Kept on pushing or blowing out driveways . I love it. Yet i work for kubota lol .

[@freedomfilledlife]

That’s awesome!! Is rx7320 a kioti or kubota?

[@Cummins6720]

@@freedomfilledlife kioti. Kubota comparable machine is the m4-071 .

Plowed working for a local school district for 35 years and I would have never left a mess like you did. I prided myself on plowing clean.

[@outboardfixer]

What a nice little rig.....

[@freedomfilledlife]

So far pretty happy. I’d love to fill the wheels though. Wouldn’t be as tippy.

[@freedomfilledlife]

I see you fix outboards. Had a 56 envi rude 7.5 fleetwin. Sold it and now regret lol

[@outboardfixer]

@mfilledlife Oh, too bad. They were a great little fishing motor and all parts are still available for them...both OEM and aftermarket. Never thought about the tipping thing but I bet loading the tires would be a big help....in a few ways.

[@tractortyme]

If you have chains and some weight in the back, it would really make a nice push of the snow. I have a same type dozer blade.....but it's 86''. Works great, but I'm gonna add some ballast fluid in my rear tires too. Seems like the CK2610 has quick hydraulics?

[@freedomfilledlife]

Yes I’m thinking fluid too. My blade always bounces forward though, so I’m gonna do that pipe thing to it

[@larryumphfrey3880]

I was wondering if that tractor would be a good one, and it looks like it is. I don't need anything bigger so i was looking at that one and Kubota, but I'm really impressed with the Kioti.

[@freedomfilledlife]

So far so good. We have 30 acres and it’s worked well for many tasks.

[@blueglide1]

I have a Kubota B2601, open station,wished I had that cab!

[@freedomfilledlife]

@@blueglide1 definitely worth it for snow, cold, bugs

[@christophercharles3169]

A plow is nice and cheaper by a long shot I'm assuming but give me a blower every day and twice on Sunday. I just bought the CK2620.

[@freedomfilledlife]

After having a plow, I totally agree. I definitely also need sliders on the bottom of the plough like a few people mentioned below. A blower would make such a quicker job. That’s why sometimes I just use the ATV for small stuff. The tractor is just a good all-around yard implement, but ploughing with a blade is a bit of a pain.

[@christophercharles3169]

@@freedomfilledlife I get it. Use what you have. Blowers aren't inexpensive. I'm hoping to acquire a blower by the start of next winter. Otherwise I may be using a plow or even the bucket.

[@spyder000069]

@@freedomfilledlife I use a standard rear grader blade to clear my country gravel driveway. I spin the blade 180 degrees so its backwards which means the front is curved. This still pulls the snow fine and it doesn't grab the grass and gravel as much. I've been thinking about a front plow setup like yours but it is hard to beat the simplicity of just attaching the 3 point and going. Less to go wrong. I only need to pivot the plow a couple of times so not a big deal for me to jump out of the tractor to do that.

[@2bouchard]

How is your loader tolerating the blade stress when angled? My dealer advised against anything but a straight implement, so I am curious. I have a ck2610 as well.

[@freedomfilledlife]

Seems decent. The dealer sold it too. Now you have me curious though. Maybe I should just dig with it

[@fredhinck9685]

Put a piece of 2 1/2 inch sched 40 pipe on your cutting edge. Have the same blade on my Massey 1742.

[@freedomfilledlife]

You mean on the bottom so it doesn’t dig in too much?

[@fredhinck9685]

Yes, makes a big difference. Still can't leave the loader in float though

[@freedomfilledlife]

@@fredhinck9685 yes that’s one part that’s not good. The constant up and down. Mind me asking how you put the pipe on?

[@CowboyPants-h5p]

@@freedomfilledlife I'm in Nova Scotia. I put a 84" length of schedule 80 PVC on my HLA 2000 plow/Kioti 3510 setup. Makes plowing gravel driveways real easy. I simply put the pipe in a workmate vise with a backing board and ran down the length with a skil saw. Then banged it down the length of the plow edge with a sledge hammer on one end and the wife holding the other end making sure it did not slide off. DO NOT use schedule 40 pipe as it is WAY too thin and will break on the first really cold day. Trust me on that one. The BEST solution would be to use a length of 2" steel pipe. Good luck!

[@CanadasOceanPlayground]

I have the 23 CX2510 Cab with HLA100 66” blade Hydraulic with 3rd Function. Loaded the tires and bought a ballast box ( 3 pt) and put 5-66 pound bags of sand . Have a paved drive with last 75 feet at 8% slope. Pushes the snow up no problem never spins a tire. 😊

[@michealwhynot]

Put some feet on the plow and put into float mode

[@freedomfilledlife]

I did try that, but still seems to dig in. Such a pain lol.

[@allanwilson5064]

I see you didn't get all of the plastic out from around the seat. Just like mine... lol

[@freedomfilledlife]

I know I’m still wondering how to do it. Poor design lol

[@inspectr1949]

No skid shoes on the plow?

[@freedomfilledlife]

Yes I need to add some on. Any good links to add to the bottom of the straight blade?

[@inspectr1949]

@@freedomfilledlife Adding cutting a slit on 2 1/2" ABS or SCH 80 PVC and adding o the bottom seems to work from my research, have been in the market for a snow blade, FB market place has them very reasonable but most don't seem to come with skid shoes for whatever reason, some say skid shoes aren't even very effective on grave or crushed stone surfaces. Have no idea how to add them as I don't weld.

[@freedomfilledlife]

@@inspectr1949 OK sounds great. Yes I have the normal round iron skin shoes but they are brutal on non-even surfaces. I believe they would only work on flat asphalt

[@inspectr1949]

@@freedomfilledlife Did buy a new plow that didn't come with skid shoes (price was right) but Amazon has after market ones that bolt on although I think I'll get someone to weld them.

[@teamdrummond6915]

Keeping your tractor outside in the freezing cold. That's not soldiering.

[@freedomfilledlife]

Not good for it? Like the rubber and stuff??

[@davehudson4607]

Worst thing you could ever have on a loader, a blade that can angle. Loaders are meant to push straight, many a person has bent a front end loader from what you have been doing. Good luck, get a snow pusher or a blower

[@inspectr1949]

Interesting is that fact?

[@davehudson4607]

@ That is straight up from my dealer. Actually from two dealerships.

[@TheRistopher]

Weird so the plow has a bracket at the quick connection, that's attached to a plow. I can't use the bucket to push into side material with the bucket that's to the same system. 😂

Still the bad thing about buying tractors, or anything like this Kabota, not buying American not keeping jobs in this junk

Tell me what American tractor company manufactures compact/sub compact tractors in America? They’re mostly made in Korea, India or Turkey
