50 Hour Service for Kioti DK4710 HST Tractor! -

[@canvasman2307]

Chris, you’re surely a blessed man. You’ve introduced us to several of your great family members engaging in shared interests and outdoor activities. You have a highly productive firewood business and faithful customers. You possess a tremendous work ethic and physical ability to keep going. But probably one of your greatest blessings are friends who are willing to lend a hand, engage in good natured ribbing, and even share their toys, like Tony does. All for unlimited free water and a stick of gum🤔. Amazing

[@InTheWoodyard]

Ya, I am a lucky man, I have a great family and fantastic friends.

[@deanmoore420]

I do on my oil changes my hydrostatic changes and front axle. I flush out the oil but freshen and a big factor. You have to check the torque on the wheels the loader and everything I do all that but you guys are doing a good job. Great video. 👍

[@deanmoore420]

And you have to check your tire pressure as well

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks for the info!

[@scrhino40]

Next time you change hydraulic filter. Take a shop vacuum and stick end of hose in where you pour hydraulic oil in and turn it on. It pulls a vacuum and helps keep oil loss to a minimum. Great you 2 can work together and get a long good. Always a learning curve when working on your stuff when you don't work on equipment every day. Always blow air filter from inside out. Not outside in. Have a great day be safe.

[@dethmaul]

Harbor freight has a wand extension. It'll get inside that fikter easy. I use it to blow out my vacuum cleaner filters lol

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks for the tips and help Arthur!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes, I am going to get one!

[@135Pirate]

You can actually use the engine oil cap on the hydraulic fill port. The engine oil cap has a gasket on it which creates an air tight seal and creates the vacuum as the filters are released.

[@AnthonyHolloway-o4d]

I would recommend replacing the cylinder air filter if it were that dirty. That small expense will go a long way in keeping the dirt on the outside where it belongs. Great video!

Chris just a Sugestion. Once a month or week pressure wash the dirt buildup out of the moving parts. Tractor and parts will thank you. We have farm tractors with 13000+ hours on them and there is no dirt buildup on any of them. And it makes maintenance a breeze. Nive Kioti I just purchased a DK 5320 myself.

Diesel always looks dirty because some soot passes by the piston rings after combustion. It’s not a problem and totally normal. The oil pan is split to allow the driveshaft to pass through it, 2WD models have a standard oil pan.

Tony is a nice guy to help you do that oil change. I hate to work on my own stuff also

[@heymakerphd1982]

Tony is da man!! At some point, Tony's learned to turn necessity into a virtue. Recycling oil is another virtue. I'd keep some for odd job oiling, like the splitter rails. I use the WD40 to sort of lead or wick the heavier oil into the tight spots. An extended wand and a bigger air compressor are necessities. They'll speed you up, save your time, and do a better job. In a situation, ask yourself, "What would Tony do?"

The front drive shaft for the 4wd runs through that gap in the oil pan. Most of the time the deep part of the pan is offset to one side of the shaft, interesting design.

[@InTheWoodyard]

[@clintonseubert3757]

It also helps to put the hours on the filter alongside the date. Because you do oil changes by the hour not the month.

I started doing maintenance and repairs on my car when I was a poor college student and just kept doing it. My service is due now and I payed like 100€ for everything, including things for 2 small repairs. Would have costed me probably close to 500€ if done in a shop. I do a lot of things, but not everything. I estimate it to take 3 hours. If convert it to hourly pay, it's amazing! This way I was able to afford a car and nowadays I can buy TOYS instead ;)

I bought a dk4210se recently and checked the front axle at 19 hours. I had to put in 2.5 quarts of oil in mine. Guess it’s just the way it comes. Lol sadly my dealer gave me the wrong owner manual and I’m waiting for the correct one to come. He ordered it. Anyway I’m curious to where all the grease fittings are? I’ve been getting the ones I’ve found. Even the random one under the rear sheet metal. Looks like it’s for the three point raise lower. Anyway thanks and enjoy.

Whew.... I would reconsider using any brushes around radiators. The cooling fins are very soft and easily bent or damaged, which will restrict air flow and also trap more debris. Avoid bending them at all costs. A water hose is a better choice, BUT only after You've sprayed in down completely with a biodegradable degreaser. A kioti tractor shop mechanic explained this way. He said if you are busy hogging, the radiator will catch particles of the cuttings, some of which may have sap in them which causes that debris to be sticky. If you hit it with just water, it'll dry hard and cake up making it more difficult to clean which inhibits cooling as well. Use a degreaser that will not damage aluminum, spray in on generously, let it soak in, then wash it off with a garden hose with a gentle flow. Should be like new when you are done. Let it dry well before going back into a field bush hogging again. Would have liked to see you service the fuel filter. One more thing. Change out that hydraulic fluid in your front end asap! Put the recommended 80/90 gear oil in there before it damages your front wheel seals.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks for the tips!

[@briannelson4493]

The 50 hr engine oil change is because of the use of break-in oil in the engine, and the first were in of the transmission the metal particles that come free collect in the filter

Yes, you are correct!

[@aldredske6197]

Good morning Chris!! 😀😀 The reason why you have 2 drain plugs on the oil pan is because the front driveshaft goes through the channel in the middle. I would be a little nervous about your front axle using fluid. If it's leaking you need them to fix it under warranty. It's probably leaking down into the final drives behind the wheels. But it's really not supposed to and there should be a way to also check the level in the lower final drives. It might be all in one and if it is it probably wasn't full from the factory. Just keep a eye on it. When it's finally full it should stop going down. I usually have the dealer do my first service on a new machine so they can't say you did something wrong and then not cover it under warranty if you were to have a problem with it. I also usually write the hours on the filters. With the amount of hours you put on it. It might not need a oil change for over a year or more. Take care my friends!! TTYL!! Logger Al

[@artemas33]

According to the Kioti owners manual it says to change the HST filter every 200 hrs and change the HST fluid only if contaminated or there’s been a repair- for what its worth. Also after adding axle case oil it says to wait 15 minuted before rechecking and re-adding more gear oil. You may have over filled it? Thanks for the video.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks for the tips!

[@nicholascooper1193]

You need to replace that air filter soon. Blowing off a paper element filter helps a little bit, but the fines are embedded in the filter media. See if you can find a case of filters for cheaper than buying individual.

[@InTheWoodyard]

I plan on it! Thanks!

[@InTheWoodyard]

[@AnthonyHolloway-o4d]

You won’t loose so much hydro fluid if you just loosen your fill plug without completely taking it out. As soon as you break the seal on the hydro filter, tighten the fill plug back up., this will create a suction on the hydro., you’ll still loose some, but there will not be near as much.to replace.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, I figured that out...I am a little slow...thanks form the tips!

[@franklinmcbride4339]

Wash the dirt out of radiator with soapy water and rinse with garden hose. Blowing it should be from the inside out then washing with water. Also air cleaner should be blown from inside out aswell.

[@InTheWoodyard]

[@debbiebristow6501]

Tip; when you clean that air filter move away from the tractor. you put all that dust into the air and there is no longer a filter on the intake. She is ready to go now, good maintenance will keep her alive for a long time !!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks Debbie, I will do that next time!

[@jandblawncare8570]

Tony's a good guy to have around! I don't do any of my own oil changes either, its not worth it for me to be down an hour or so, then find a place to recycle the oil etc. I get my diesel oil changed at the dealer for 180 bucks and gas engines cost 60 bucks or so, so not worth it for me.

[@InTheWoodyard]

That is how I am most of the time too!

[@OShackHennessy]

Totally respect that you don’t want to fiddle with it. I do my own maintenance because I enjoy it and absolutely do not trust that all techs know or care what they’re doing. I’ve seen some real nonsense that gives me very little confidence. That being said it takes me 20 minutes to do oil it’s so simple on tractors vs some cars/trucks. Cost for oil/filter on my Mahindra is about $75. Saving $100 to do something I love means I can waste that money on more unnecessary crap I don’t need. 😂

[@artillerybuff2000]

Tony's a funny guy and a good friend. Weird, I thought all Kioti's had inner and outer air filter elements? Should be blowing air through the air filter from the inside out, not outside in. Split oil pan is to allow the driveline to be tucked up higher and increase engine oil capacity. When it comes to equipment maintenance, my philosophy has always been lube is cheap and parts are expensive (not to mention labor), so I always cut the service intervals by half, AND I send an oil sample to a lab for analysis. Not only do they check for all wear metals, they also check for other contaminants such as fuel, coolant, silicone. I still spend less than others because I do all my own maintenance and repair work. I know it is way overkill, but it helps me to sleep at night lol. And my stuff last literally forever...

With more rain, mud and the possibility of snow, I wonder it a full set of tire chains would be help full on your tractor

[@kennyp507]

I ordered a set of diamond pattern chains for the front tires and rear duo grips for the rear, the front chains ride nice and smooth, provide great traction on pavement and improve steering with the snow pusher. The rear chains make the tractor like a sherman tank, but you will need new kidneys if your on pavement or hard pack because the ride is very rough, I only put the rear chains on when we are getting +15" heavy wet snow, anything else the front chains work fine by themselves.
