Thanks Mike. I live in Quebec and have a 2020 CK4010 (manual transmission). The past few weeks, we have had many cold days (-8F and colder). Just like you showed, my tractor did start with no problems whatsoever. Just coming on 100 hours and could not be more satisfied with the performance of this machine. The only thing I would recommend owners check is not only coolant/anti-freeze level but that it provides sufficient cold weather protection. I checked mine when we started getting very cold weather and found it to be borderline so beefed it up some by replacing some of the coolant with concentrate and then running the engine to mix thoroughly. Cheers

Thanks Mike. I live in Brandon, Manitoba, Canada. We are in a deep freeze righ tnow. I store my CK 4010 in my insulated shop with the heat on. I have a cab on it and I would never buy another one with out it. Never short of heat. Giving these tractors some TLC goes a long way in longevity. Great for loader work, manure spreaders, or snow blowers.

I love my CK2510 here in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. I store my tractor in my unheated (for now) shop and when it gets cold I plug in the block heater (that it came with) for an hour or so and it smokes way less and it's warm enough that the glow plug light doesn't come on. When new the tractor would smoke a lot when using the brush hog or running at high RPM but now at 250 hours it doesn't smoke nearly as much. I'm very happy with my little work horse of a tractor!

I purchased a ck2610se with factory cab for that reason not to have to freeze my but. At first when i was starting it in the cold wheater. even with the glow plug it would hesitate and smoke.

I own a CK2610 and I'm in Colorado. I switched all the fluids to synthetic at the first maintenance and add the white Power Service diesel treatment to the fuel year around as it also cleans injectors. Never a problem and I use mine to plow snow. Even if you just move the tractor a short distance let it run so the battery charges as cycling the glow plugs uses lots of juice.

Had my RX66PSC two winters now here in central NewEngland, I had to leave it outside this year most of the time but she always starts right up at the normal below zero temps we get at 1300 ft altitude where we live. It has never run rough or had an issue starting or operating the hydraulics for that matter, I run a Woodmax SB84 snowblower this year and it works great and is a big timesaver for doing my mile long driveway. My wife really loves the cab, which thankfully makes me look like a champ.

I've found that in the coldest of cold temps, my CK2610 starts without the rough stumbling if I turn the key backwards and hold it for the glow plugs, before turning it forward and holding it (so two whole glowplug timeouts) before starting. Last time I did a single cycle at 32 degrees, it did the same rough start you showed, but at 15 degrees with the second cycle, it started perfectly smooth. I reserve it for only the coldest of temps, at freezing or below - excess use of the glowplugs will wear them out.

One thing I do is use Rotella T6, 5w-40w in the crankcase. Its SYNTHETIC oil meant for diesels. The thinner 5w, being also synthetic, flows much easier in winter and the 40w part is the recommended viscosity for winter. My Kioti dealer recommended this as an excellent choice after the initial break-in oil change.

i live in Okla and i have 2003 DK55. i couldn't get my tractor started the other day when it was 0 degrees. i would cycle the glow plugs a couple of times and try to start it and ended up running the battery down. I couldn't find if it had a block heater or not, so i got my space heater out and had it blowing on an angle between the front tire and loader arm for about 30 min. while i also charged the battery. After a could of cranks the engine finally cranked over and started, so think i had a fuel problem. put diesel additive in while haying my now balling cows. Had to start it again 2 nights later at 7 degrees and it fired right up. I'M READY FOR SPRING.
