Kioti replaces the Kubota, kioti NS 6010 HST initial thoughts

[@gregmonz697]

Hey Luke I have a Kioti 2018 NX6010 HSTC and love it . I just bought a stump bucket which was delivered today , can't wait to use it . I think Kioti Tractors are built way better than John Deere and Kubota for the money .

[@lyndonhamby7432]

I love my Kioti tractor also brother 👍👍

[@KDrapsag]

Kubota loader capacity is so disappointing. Love your new tractor!

[@duck-n-cover477]

Those guards are more than i have on my CX and those locations for steering and hydraulic lines arent a problem and been through woods 100s of hours. Watch for stumps and hidden holes in ground. You have a cab, so you probably wont get into too thick, tight, or low branches with that size machine. Oh, caregul welding on that without disconnecting battery or removing the component you're welding (don't want to fry your electronics).

Luke, keep searching KZbin for a workaround on the seat safety switch. I bought one a while ago for my DK 5310 and it’s an easy installation and works perfectly. I agree with you, standing up from that seat and having the engine turn off was a pain in the butt. Let me know if you can’t find the switch that I’m referring to.

I will never own another Kioti. I sold my Kubota and bought a new 2022 DK6010se cab and had hydraulic pump cavitation issues. They were not able to fix it. They swapped my 2022 with a 2024 DK6020SE after 2 years of me being upset with the problem and this new one has the same problem, just not as bad. The factory is aware of this issue that is in about 10% of these tractors. I have been working directly with the factory now giving them information on conditions when the problem happens. They installed an experimental electric pump on the suction side of the main pump and it has helped but didn't fix it. Also the wiring is exposed under the tractor and I have broken the wires twice while flail mowing. The factory is now installing a larger version of the system they put on mine but won't install it on mine because mine is better and they have so many to install and parts are limited. There are many other cheap components on the Kioti's. The hydraulics for both the 3 point and the loader are terribly jumpy and not refined. This is a case of you get what you pay for and as soon as this thing is fixed I am selling it and buying another Kubota as I have never had ANY problems with the Kubota I owned for years before the Kioti. If you are putting 50 hours a year on a tractor maybe you can live with the cheap Kioti, but I have put 310 hours on my 2024 Kioti in 7 months and I can't live with it anymore. This is my experience with Kioti, I'm sure many people love theirs, but after the last almost 3 years of being in and out of the service shop and the frustration of other cheap components that just don't work well ( like the 3 pt position hard stop screw being plastic and no matter how tight you try to make it, it will move over time even when being careful not to put pressure on that hard stop) Never again

@@Vermont_EarthWork that sucks, I appreciate you letting people know about the issue.

[@justloggit22]

I hope this works out for you, heard they have a lot of electrical issues according to my dealer. Beautiful machine.

[@justiceforall6333]

The NX is the one with electrical issues it has way more electrical components NS is the workhorse doesn't have all the bells and whistles

I wanted a cab but all so wanted to go into the woods, But a bought the open cab DK 4210SE HST, trust me the cab would have gotten broken had i had one. It's the overhead limbs that will get you . One more thing i don't drive into any brush pills ot stumps, that why a grapple is needed.

[@inspectr1949]

Taking possession any day now of the exactly same machine the dealer said I have my choice of tire types, what and why did you decide on yours?

[@schleppinghay]

Hydraulics routing on the Kioti loader is MUCH nicer than on the Kubota. No loops hanging out to snag on stuff.

[@zachhelming]

Can you go in more detail about the cab I was wondering if you can do a decibel reading on it in the cab I been in the market for a while and no dealer around me has a ns cab on there lot for me to check out thanks for the review

[@nrosario]

Generally, Kioti cabs are quieter than Kubota cabs. However, having the details would be great.

[@jacobceparano]

Can you share the details of the buddy chair you got? Thanks! Great video!

Can you do a decibel test in the cab for me been really thinking of getting a ns but none of the dealers around me have one to test drive thanks for the review

[@firewoodover6010]

Hey Luke could you get a cat 2 quick hitch to avoid grinding on those brand new arms? i got a GS 6020 coming and i would hate to grind on a new machine thanks

[@lukedaoutdoorguy7639]

A cat 2 would have worked just fine. I wanted to stay with cat 1 because of implements I have and wanted to get

[@aliengenetix2642]

Did you buy this Kioti from Good Works?

[@lukedaoutdoorguy7639]

@@aliengenetix2642 I did not, but I have bought several pieces of equipment from them

[@keithparker7041]

Where did you get the buddy seat

[@arboyprepper4616]

Does the loader bucket have a replaceable cutting edge

[@lukedaoutdoorguy7639]

This model doesn't, but you can order one that does

[@HardWinAdventures]

Does a cat 1 not fit this tractor? I thought it does.

[@lukedaoutdoorguy7639]

It's the quick hitch that doesn't fit. The ball joints on the arms are too bit to fit in a CAT 1 quick hitch. They do make cat 1 arms but that isn't what this machine is built as.

[@kcimages5157]

why not get the NX 6010 ??

[@lukedaoutdoorguy7639]

Wasn't available at my dealer. They said eventually kioti was discontinuing the NX.

[@kcimages5157]

@@lukedaoutdoorguy7639 True an updated one coming , The rear end is stronger on the NX is what I like .
