Wheel Spacers on Compact Tractor Kioti CX2510

[@Jtwizzle]

Awesome. Minimizing that tippy feeling is always good 😂

[@BaznastyDave]

It defiantly helped

[@fredericklockard3854]

Well done very informative.

[@dieselwelds8645]

Man thanks so much for sharing. I have a cx2510 cab version and its very tipsy! I almost bailed out of it one night when on a sloped at an angle trying to scoop some dirt. I dropped the bucket like right now and that saved it. Not sure i want to go 3" on th back thought... Maybe 2" rear and 1.5" front

[@roadrunner3563]

Tractors used to come with adjustable wheels by default. Mine has spinout rims that adjust from 50 to 80 inches.

[@BaznastyDave]

Yep, my pops has a 68 Ford 4000 that has adjustable wheels. I don't think any of the smaller tractors have them though.

[@ya472]

Adjustable tracks widths are for following crop rows, NOT tipping angle. Tipping angle is NOT something to play with.

[@rdrockett1]

Those studs look more like bolts

[@rdrockett1]

Looks like he supplied lug bolts and lug nuts

[@BaznastyDave]

Correct

[@lylekleiber2000]

you got that backwards buddy to are studs other four are bolts

[@stephenoffiler8024]

That was bugging me too. You want to really get it right, they're not just bolts they are "LUG BOLTS" due to the tapered seat under the head

[@CanadasOceanPlayground]

Good vid, any issues with the Bro Tech on the fronts, was worried might put extra strain on the smaller front axel ? Thanks

[@BaznastyDave]

No issues to date with about 50hrs on them. More tractor vids to come.

I am considering getting a CX2510. I'm not sure though if it is enough? Thought about the CK2620 but it seems a little too big. Opinions appreciated !

[@BaznastyDave]

The CX2510 is in between the CS22 & CK26 and it can do a little of both jobs. The CS is good for small mulch jobs and yard work as it's light enough that it would not leave tracks in a homeowners yard but not great and digging dirt. It's too light. The CK is better for grading, earth moving, and heavy lifting but can be a little too big and cumbersome for small jobs. It can tear up a yard easily. Ideally I would have a CS & a CK but these things are expensive and a CX can perform both jobs of the CS & CK to a degree. Really depends on a persons needs and price range.

[@user-dw9vy3qe2m]

52 hours on mine now. Just did my first service on it. I love the tractor. I’ve added some lights and am thinking of adding a hydraulic multiplier for a top and tilt kit. Wheel spacers would be nice too

[@stephenoffiler8024]

I see this is 7 months old - did you make a move? I am going thru the same thing right now and starting to lean CX. My old tractor (I mean old, 1995 Ford) is closer to the CK in size but closer to CX in all the power and lift specs.

[@hopeandlifekids3810]

@@stephenoffiler8024 We went with the TYM 2515h , lots more lift capacity. Bigger than what we originally were looking at but glad we got a bigger one.

[@stephenoffiler8024]

@@hopeandlifekids3810 best of luck with your TYM! I plan to stick with Kioti, because I have an excellent local dealer, I was extremely impressed by the rental CX2510, they are now 3rd largest in the USA behind Kubota and JD.

[@duanehamdorf2228]

Ive been thinking about spacers on the back. I got a ck2510 its got about 30hrs on it. So far so good. You happy with yours?

[@BaznastyDave]

I will be doing more tractor videos soon. I love mine, the frame size is better than the Sub-compact tractors. The only issue I've had is the safety control box causing a no start. It was replaced twice under warranty. It has 150hrs on it now.

[@jamieyarbrough5229]

What size did you put on

[@BaznastyDave]

3" in rear, 1.5" in front

[@markmacdougall7206]

Why not get a CK2620 versus widening a CX2510?

[@BaznastyDave]

The CK2610 would have been closing in on $10,000 more compared to the CX2510. I got the CX2510 with FEL and backhoe.

[@ya472]

NONSENSE: Claim at 7 minutes.... "No way I can do that before...." Show us the POINT OF TIPPING. Do it without spacers and with spacers. The DIFFERENCE is negligible. Also do it with an empty bucket and a full bucket, at different heights. Good luck. ha ha ha

[@BaznastyDave]

Thanks for the comment. I'm actually working on a video about showing how much the spacers helped. I'm going to use a crane scale and measure in pounds how much more force is needed to tip the tractor. I'm still trying to figure out a way to measure it in degrees of slope. Unfortunately for me, I'm going to have to remove all 4 spacers, test, and put them all back on to test again. Should make for an interesting video.

[@ya472]

@@BaznastyDave It is NOT about how much force to lift the tractor from LEVEL ground, but at what ANGLE is the tipping point. The difference of ANGLE when fully tilted to tip-over, is the crucial data. Tip over during actual use is often dependent on terrain , obstacles and angle.

[@ya472]

@@BaznastyDave What I believe most people relate to, when mowing on a level surface and a rear tire hits a 6" boulder, tipping is less likely with the wider stance. This situation is more difficult to prove, unless one installs anti-tip over wheels? I suppose one would have to increase boulder size, until the BX actually rolls over center and would tip?

[@stephenoffiler8024]

They do add a small margin for error. Personally I'd stay the hell off a side hill like that.

[@ya472]

@stephenoffiler8024 Yes, the slope usually isn't the problem, it is the uneveness of the surface that will throw you past the tipping point.
