Kioti CX2510 Compact Tractor: Review & Thoughts at 93 Hours

This is just me talking about my thoughts on this Kioti CX2510 Compact Tractor. There is so much I didn't talk about in this video and will try to get a more detailed review on this tractor when I can.

[@user-vq4zg1xh9h]

that’s a good vid bud… Not a sponsored promotion but an honest review from an owner operator… Thanks, keep them coming….

[@skywatcherranchswr]

Thank you, there's probably a lot that I missed or didn't talk about. Might make a better review someday.

[@tomsmith8348]

Love them Kiotis. I'm on my second one. 2013 I got my first one then it was a cs2410 with a backhoe I just broke the front loader and December this year and to the dealer and it was gonna cost a lot to fix it So I bought a CX-2510 with a cab in a backhoe. Move the lot of snow with it and stayed warm and dry. Only have 40 hours on it most of that was moving snow. Good luck with yours

[@NCDude-hg3no]

I enjoyed watching it. Nice presentation. Thanks

[@richornsby264]

I have the stick shift version of this. Love it! Really need to load the tires and often run my tiller on the back to add even more weight.

[@trevorkestle7522]

My dad and i are picking our new CX2510 up on the weekend, that black box is a very good thing to know about and the maintenance of all the pins and bolts is good to know, thanks alot eh!

[@skywatcherranchswr]

Awesome! They are handy to have around. I would call your dealer and ask if they know about the defective part and ask if they have it in stock, that way if you have it fail on you, they don't have to order it and have it backordered for weeks or months while being unable to move your machine. Grease those pins like crazy! Congrats on the new unit!

[@ns4wsm]

Great brand, great lift capacity, good choice!

[@concernedpatriot9314]

Nice video Thanks 🙏

[@Stankfoot_01]

I have a CX2510 cab. Handy little machines. The AC is a godsend when 100 outside with 100% humidity. First HST tractor Way batter when working with loader. Like the review. Good old owner just telling it like you see it A third function with grapple is well worth it. I use it constantly

[@skywatcherranchswr]

Funny you mention a cab, the dealer got a couple new cx2510's in right after I bought mine and they had cabs and they were so nice! Great for when you have blowing winds moving snow too. I definitely would like a third function. A grapple would be a gamechanger.

[@duck-n-cover477]

Have one. Rear tires need to be loaded AND sometimes add balast for heaviest loads. The thing is so stout for its size, you MUST keep it low and slow if turning or moving on anything but level ground. Very capable machine!

[@watopswatops7921]

Very good advise. Check your bolts and nuts from time to time. I have found bolts loose after 200hrs of use.

[@gregorymcdaniel2249]

Thank for an honest review of these tractors by the way the Bob cat tractors are a kioti painted white. I’ve been looking at them for a while trying to decide whether or not if I want to buy one or not, still haven’t decided on it yet.

[@72spawndn]

Thanks for the tips, I just bought one with a backhoe, bush hog and box blade.

[@skywatcherranchswr]

That's awesome! That backhoe will come in handy

[@fullers1966]

Also great review

[@duanehamdorf2228]

That is concerning about the bucket pins getting sloppy. When you did your 50hr. Service was the hydraulic filters hard to get off? Mines comming up on the Service time. Thanks.

[@richardbritton5280]

Good job 👏 👍 🏆👴🐕🚜😎🤠🙏🙏

[@petep7227]

Lol that was me you said that to in the comments. I bought one, btw.

[@juddblaney9320]

Nice review. I was looking at the CK but I’m really thinking about the CX cause I like being smaller and able make tight turns. I wonder if they’re gonna update it soon like the CK and DKs

[@skywatcherranchswr]

I haven't read up much about the CK series but sometimes I think about going to the dealership to check them out and see the differences.

[@user-kb3zf3rj1b]

Super filmik 🎉

[@robpond7385]

My lot is 100 by 150 glad I bought mine many jobs for it saves my back I am 71

[@John-en4bp]

I would be interested in buying that simplicity, landlord, what year is that?

[@TxGuitarPlayer]

That tractor lifts considerably more than my JD 3032e and appears to be built more solid. I love that it accepts a mid mount mower.

[@skywatcherranchswr]

The 3032e looks to be a good size tractor, why does it seem not to lift as much?

[@TxGuitarPlayer]

@@skywatcherranchswr not sure. Could be the smaller cylinder rams. I can only lift around 700 lbs on front and maybe 1000 lbs at three point. Yes, it’s larger but has much more plastic and probably weighs less than your Kioti. I’m not disappointed but definitely wish I would’ve went with something with a mid pto.

[@skywatcherranchswr]

@TxGuitarPlayer I wish when I bought the kioti that I could have included some more attachments in the financing deal. I miss out on a lot of opportunities to use it because I don't have many attachments. Had someone ask me if they could pay me to brush hog a few acres, and I don't have a mower of any kind for it, lol

[@TxGuitarPlayer]

@@skywatcherranchswr I hear ya. We don’t have snow here in SE Texas often, so mower attachments are a necessity here. I think you have a great machine. Thanks for sharing the video and information

[@user-bv6nr7uf9i]

Put a bit of Blue Locktite on those bolts that always get loose.

[@hrabiajabol8135]

Cześć, czy uwas cX2510 również ciężko chodzi przełącznik biegu wolnego i biegu szybkiego? Trzeba troszkę wiecej sily, żeby tą dźwignią operować...

[@garretthass]

I just got a quote for a new cx2510, $23k+ with loader and belly mower

[@markpontes4457]

They just have a pressure bypass valve all machines do. You can probable put shims or change the spring in the bypass valve to increase it a little. Are rear tires loaded?

[@skywatcherranchswr]

The rear tires aren't loaded but I think it would help alot if they were.

[@sean3301]

If that loader saves from one back surgery its money well spent

[@fullers1966]

I would Greece the loader every time I would use it specially in heavy use Greece is cheap and if you are to buy an attachment I would buy a tiller if you do dirt work what's the loader kill the ground first a lot easier on your loader

[@watopswatops7921]

I have the manual model. It's awesome for it's size. The backhoe is very impressive. Got on a friends john deer and it beat my balls up. My Kioti came standard with a air ride seat which is a ball and butt saver. Iv'e pulled some very big stumps sweet gum up and out of their holes using the backhoe. This smaller tractor doesn't have to regen like the bigger tractors.

[@barney1941]

so if you leave that CX on a large farm for a few years you will come back and find a NX? (goldfish story) lol. nice video. one thing you will learn like all of us. you will always want a larger tractor! ps the cx is perfect for the yard you have. if you get a few acres you will wanr CK at the smallest. id go DK> this addiction effects most tractor owners! lol

[@skywatcherranchswr]

They are never big enough lol

[@richornsby264]

That's what she said.

[@timsimon6595]

That kioti wont put last that simplicity landlord, is that a 1968 ?

[@watopswatops7921]

If you use an auger on the back of this tractor Be very slow about lowering it down as you dig a hole!!!! Go down about a 1/4 way of the auger then stop going down and bring it back up. If you get the auger stuck you can nudge it back and forward and with the raise up it will usually free up the auger. If not you will have to disconnect the auger and turn the auger backwards using a big pipe wrench.

[@tomm9860]

My manual says grease every (10) hours 3 pump's..

[@jg6438]

I should have got a Kubota. My Cx2510 ran for 5 hours. The dealer picked it up but before he did the forward pedal went to the floor and the tractor barely made it to the garage. Then the lever for the 3point fell off. Never found it. The dealer said it was a bad weld. Purchased Dec. 22 2023 and still at the shop. I wonder what else will fail when the grass gets longer? IMO at this point it's a POS.

[@daviddepew5687]

You should get rear tires load and wheel weights !

[@michaeldoherty2289]

Loader should be greased every 10 hours of use. More than that is unnecesary

[@hoffpauirconcrete.semperfidCC]

Not gonna lie the little orange lawn tractor looks mean

[@rodney2527]

you paid $15,900 for a hydrostatic with loader, or that's the base price plus loader?

[@skywatcherranchswr]

That's what I did pay for the tractor and loader but that was 2020, I see the price has went up quite a bit since then

[@matt-hew69]

Holy cow, the same tractor is $24,500 in 2024.

[@watopswatops7921]

My back tires are ballast and I run mine with the backhoe. So when im using the loader I have no issue at all with the back tires coming off the ground. I have gone in for a full load of wet dirt and it not lift it.

[@barney1941]

that was different.

[@donaldstrishock3923]

A "Working Man" can NOT have Enough Tractors "laying around". Sounds like only 3.1 hours per month of use ,is kind of "expensive" per every month of payments. Have you READ & Throughly Understood the OPERATOR'S MANUALS for HOURS or do "Go fer IT". The salesmen's "run-through" & U-tube instuction vidios ONLY offer about 5% of what IS IN the OPERATOR'S MANUALS. As far as my "Track-Tor's" go ; l SPEND WAYMORE MONEY on GREASE than Fuel. I see that you "Fell for" the "Quicky-hitcheys SCHEME " also;; mine are gone or laying in the "scrap-heap". Sounds like some "lock-tite" & auxiliary lock washers WILL BE in your future Repitour. Thank you Sir for the Excelent vidio and happy safe tractoring. Best wishes with all your endeavours.

[@anthonyweigand2300]

A tractor is one of the most useful pieces of machinery you can own if you have any amount of acreage. Especially seeing as people are spending 30k+ on a UTV to ride on trails I’d say this isn’t a bad purchase in the long run. Everything mechanical/motorized will need maintenance/repairs at some point. Go to your local John Deere, Kubota, New Holland etc. and look through the garage door windows and let me know what you see.

[@DougAlesUSA]

I made it to <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="65">1:05</a> into the video, got dizzy, then stopped. Now I feel ill.

[@watopswatops7921]

I did find metal filings sticking out of my male connector when hooking up my grapple. Please do the break in tune up !!

[@watopswatops7921]

Had issues with the throttle cable to. Simple adjustment.

[@watopswatops7921]

Man's giving very good advice about buying an electric grease gun. Mine will use an entire tube of grease if i have my grapple on and the backhoe. 60 something grease fittings! Please, grease every fitting before using your tractor. I only have 125hrs on my backhoe and my main cylinder has bleed down already.

[@watopswatops7921]

You hear him talking about the relay that failed. That failed on mine to.

[@watopswatops7921]

My safety module failed after 72hrs of use.

[@watopswatops7921]

Beware buying a john deer. You have to use john deer implements. This tractor will take other brand implements.
