KIOTI DK4510 - 2 Year Update | Are we keeping it or will we buy something different?

[@johnflynn9756]

Thanks for the review. I have a DK4210 SE with 600 hours on it. This is my 4th Kioti. I started with a CK27 and moved up this tractor. I think it is worth mentioning that Kioti used to manufacture Kubota's and several other brands. A Kioti is heavier built than Kubota's. One of the strongest features of these is how strong their hydraulics are, their warranty, and turning radius. My dealer, Timberstar Tractor in Vernon, BC is outstanding. Highly recommend!

[@kevinpampaxton9270]

Believe me it’s always good to look into the the good and bad and ugly on every piece of equipment and it’s also going to help the manufacturers hopefully,so good videos

[@kapperoutdoors]

Im on my 2nd Kioti and i still love it! Thank

[@alansmth1729]

I owned a DS4110 Kioti that I purchased in 2010 used it with great success clearing land and more. Upgraded to DS6010 here in 2023 and traded my DS4110 for more than I paid for it in 2010. I also found out that many manufactures in the U.S. purchase the frames from Kioti to build their equipment. So the over all strength of the base of the equipment is tested and very strong. My only draw back is that manuals are slow in coming since they have been on back order for the last 4 months. I add camera to all my equipment and that is a safety issue I would recommend be added. Good luck and keep on with Kioti.

Howdy from Texas! Great video. Appreciate your time putting it together for those of us shopping for a new compact tractor. I’m currently torn between the JD 4044r HST and the KIOTI DK6020SE HST. Really struggling with making a decision. BTW, “an inch or two is every man’s dream!” 🤣 Fact!

[@amyreaves2166]

Hook up left side first, then right side screw the right side and adjust it, then top attachment. Trust me I have learned a lot on my tractor and hooking up heavy implements. I got a blade similar to yours. Thank you for the video. Tractor Mike’s channel helps a lot.

[@FightingIbisFarms]

I have spent some time watching Tractor Mike. He is a great source on all levels of tractor related knowledge.

[@marvinbrickhouse9122]

I have the same year dk 4710 hydro nothing but good to say about Kioti so far I use mine as a general purpose tractor lifting loading grading some light farm work it has done great close to 200 hrs no warranty issues this far

[@richardl.993]

Had my dk 35se for sixteen years with no problems. It was an open station shuttle. Now in my retirement years my main use is snow removal so I upgraded to the DK 5320se cab model. I do have a great dealer/ service in my area so that is a plus because there are no other reputable dealers in my fifty mile radius

[@FightingIbisFarms]

That's great to hear. Thanks for stopping by!

If your remotes are leaking you can rebuild them there are seals in them that you can fix

[@travisgregory6442]

I live 5 miles from hurst equipment in norman park i have bought alot of used equipment from them as well as a badboy zero turn mower thats 8 years old. Cant say enough about how good they have treated me.thinking about buying a kioti tractor from them. Im thinking the rx series 6620 or 7320 i prefer the bigger heavier tractors. I guess from my time in military its better to have it and not need it then need it but dont have it. Thanks for the great video Lot of good info

[@clinta..3702]

Yesterday I test drove the NS and NX series tractors 45 and 55 HP versions. I found the loader hydraulics jumpy if trying to roll the bucket while lifting the bucket as if it didn't want to do both loader operations at the same time. I'm finding nothing really covering that online, but it is a Huge dislike for me, though it's the only fault I can find with Kioti. I was wondering if the DK series is better with the hydraulics. Though the kubota L4701 and MX5400 I test drove seriously lack in lifting capacity compared to kioti, their hydraulics were not jumpy at all when rolling or curling the bucket while lifting or lowering simultaneously. Can anyone explain the difference here?

[@grandpa7278]

Ten hrs on my new DK 4720, love it so far, but those chain stabilizer bars are my only worry. Likely I'll upgrade at first service at the dealership. btw, dealer is ten minutes away, which is main reason for getting this Kioti. ...never heard of it before

[@barney1941]

[@jefferykeeper9034]

I have a ck2510 that's 7 years old and I have too remove the grill Guard so I can open the hood, the dealer says it right one my don't hinge down the like the new one's.

[@bigpapa5453]

Just saw your video and appreciate all the info I am going to look at the dk series this week in Ocala Leaning toward the 5010 Was wondering if you shopped florida dealers before georgia and if so was there any significant difference in price I can forego sales tax in Fl with my Ag Exemption Not sure about Ga I am around Lake City so Norman Park is not much further north than Ocala is from me Thanx again

[@FightingIbisFarms]

I was shopping the Florida dealers during a time when we were all uncertain about Covid-19 and dealers were having a hard time getting inventory. I checked with every North Florida dealer and couldn't find my tractor. I got lucky ad found a good group of folks up there a Hurst Tractor. I never got into talking prices with the FL Dealers because they didn't know what was getting delivered on their trucks until they showed up at the gate. It was a weird time a few years back. I did not pay sales tax in GA. because we were Ag. Exempt as well and I believe the dealer helped with that paperwork. You have access to the same benefits there as we get here. I would say find a dealer you get along with and who can work with you now and down the road.

[@cutweldngrind]

Can I borrow the tractor lol. I been looking at the CK line but these are nice. My plan was to get a dump trailer and tractor package to try and make a few $ on the weekends. My quote on a Ck2610 hst, rotary cutter, box blade and loader was 26.5K. Dealer is 90 miles away so plan on going in 2 weeks.

[@kennkid9912]

3510 gear tractor 4x4 loader loaded tires Ag tires tubes in front. $22100 including sales tax of 5.5% July 22. I am used to gear tractors. Rotary cutter ,never bought one. We had a box scraper. Didnt like it went to a blade scraper. Diesel Tank is up on the back. kind of hard to fill. My rops is too tall@8 ft/. My Kubota is only 7. About every 40 hours you get the regen. Cleaning can be done manually. takes 25 minutes. Dont these people read their manual? I dont think you should be box blading stumps.

[@cutweldngrind]

@@kennkid9912 Thanks for all the info. We have some thunder storms rolling in so hopefully I can still go and get quotes on the 3510. I used an old international 444 and L2501 both gear driven but time to buy my own.

[@FightingIbisFarms]

The DK will give you more lift capacity and this is why we bought it. Sounds like you got a solid idea and I hope your side work plan is fruitful.

[@donniebargo964]

On any tractor spend the extra few dollars and get the telescoping stabilizer

[@FightingIbisFarms]

I've looked into them but just can't pull the trigger yet.

[@jerrywilhelm996]

U need a true 3pt quick hitch with hydraulic top link

[@charlesreed6404]

Anything on a Kioti at the time of your purchase and any Kioti part you add thereafter IS Kiotis issue. Can't comment on a DK but sure can for the CK. My CK3510SE has had so many problems in the 206 hrs. Failed linked pedal at delivery as well as delivered with dents all down the right rear fender , failed 3rd function value (twice), both rear tires with poor seal at the dealer, 400 lbs of rimguard all over my garage and lawn, seat safety switch failed (the times), first the dealers fix was to disconnect the seat safety function and return it back to me, total disregard to customers safety, toolbox rusted out in 120 hrs, powercoat on the grill guard starting to bubble (rust under powercoat) in 130 hrs, dealer routed grapple hoses to where they were dragging on the ground unprotected, safety decals falling off after a month of ownership, multiple fasteners rusting, hyd quick disconnect oxidizing before 100 hrs, brushhog delivered without a safety chain, coolant hoses loose during assembly, axle oil level not even showing on dipstick when checked the first 10 hrs, missing the two drawbar lynch pins (noticed at the 10 inspection), dif lock seized up in 140 hrs, on and on. Much of this is dealer incompetence but dealers represent Kioti. Kioti is not a long standing reputable company. Be careful. Might be a reason they are cheaper than JD or Kubota. There's extremely large variation in component quality and powercoat processes for example. These are areas Kioti seems to cuts corners to get the costs down. If I could do this all over again, save a few more pennies and get a JD. Had a JD790 years ago. Not one issue in all the years I owned it. Tried and true company!

[@FightingIbisFarms]

Sorry to hear that Kioti has failed you. The manufacturing process is one thing that we can't control, but the dealer being incompetent is not acceptable and hopefully you have reached out to corporate about it. I can say I share the same experience with you, but hopefully you find the tractor that makes you happy.

[@phillipgriffin3901]

So Mr. Charles, really really sounds like you got "handled-tortured& jipped"; anybody with a half as Bad as experience would of got locked up in the "psychiatric ward" for a good rest. I'm willing to "bet" your expensive "scrap-heep" was "covid-a-lated";= built &sourced during our "hard-ship time". ANYBODY with a rig like your's would certainly have a "BAD TASTE" for that Brand.

[@spyder000069]

As someone with a reliable 790 looking at tractors I appreciate you sharing your experience. I have a dead reliable kubota zero turn so i have been looking at a new kubotas with a cab but the extra lift capacity of the kioti has tempted me. Sure dont want to end up with a headache though

[@frederickburns1739]

As a retired farmer I sometimes wonder why people buy a farm tractor and do land clearing. I bought a old and I mean OLD D6 CAT for doing land reclamation!

[@FightingIbisFarms]

My pocket book just won't let me. I looked at it like this, I would buy a big enough tractor that could handle about 80% of the work I needed done. When I need to focus on the other 20%, I could rent the equipment for a weekend and get everything I need done. I could not see buying a specialized piece of equipment that I would maybe use for a month and then have to flip it to get my money back. So far so good for us, thanks for watching!

[@BittyVids]

Because we need a single piece of equipment to do everything. Hard to justify more for 5-20 acres.

I have a Kioti DK35. This afternoon, suddenly the tractor stopped. And I can't get it to move. The tractor is in gear, but when you let out the clutch nothing happens. Any ideas?

[@FightingIbisFarms]

I would get with your local dealer and see if they can help you diagnose it. If it was my tractor I would start simple and look at ll the gear selections ad make sure they are not in Neutral. Next I would look to see if the clutch and gear sift linkage is all correct. After that I would call the dealer.

[@kevincosma7945]

I will. Getting ready to go out and look at it now. It was weird, it just quit rolling. Not sure what I did. Only has 352 hours

No DEF, just the filter that burns off the build up.

[@andrewsmith9980]

would like to see how they maintain these in 10 years. I believe the parent company used to make mini trucks and is impossible to get parts for them. vehicles are only 10 years old. are these significantly cheaper than a comparable John Deere or Kubota. don't see myself buying new but think a 10-year-old well supported tractor would be of more interest

[@whilomforge3402]

I bought a cs2520 last week. It was $10,000 less than a JD 1025r, and $6,500 less than the 1023e. Roughly $7,000 less than Kubota Bx.

Kioti tractors have been around for a long time

[@Mantooth2851]

Parts are my concern as well. The tractors look nice and seem to perform well. I worry that I won't be able to find parts 10, 15, or 20 years from now. And before anyone comments on my 20 year concern, yes..people do keep tractors that long. My current tractors are a '89 Ford 1120 and a'97 Kubota M4700.

Kioti doesn’t stand behind its warranty. Was told it had a 6 year warranty. Had tractor for less then 2 years. Was told that the hydraulic system is not covered by the warranty. Do not buy

[@reallythough4591]

Bumper to bumper is 2 years, drivetrain is 6. Read the print, or look it up. Hydraulics are implements.

[@hurricane8634]

​@reallythough4591 they just said less than 2 years

@hurricane8634 buddy it's in the front on the warranty contract. It doesn't say under 2 years. Just to read it before you buy it or can you hold your paperwork
