I have a 2021 Kioti CK 2610, and it has been flawless. I have had 0 issues with this tractor, and I have around 280 hours on it. I have used it in home maintenance, agriculture, and everything in between. It’s just been a great little tractor.

I have a 2019 model year Kioti ck2610hst and it has 430 hours on it now. The only thing I have had to do to it was tighten a couple cooling system clamps, couple drips of coolant on the floor at zero degrees. I have yet have to retorque any bolts on loader or wheels. I am plenty happy with my tractor. Central Maine..

Glad to hear! Thanks for watching!

I bought my DK5310SE Cab 2-1/2 years ago, and have 260 hours on it. I've been nothing but happy with it. I have 7 or 8 acres of cleared land on my homestead and I've used my Kioti to put in a 400 foot driveway with a disc harrow to loosen the topsoil, then the bucket to clear it out and finally a root rake to spread out 20 tons of railroad ballast. I put in 3/4 acre of elderberry orchard and vegetable garden with the disc harrow, a tiller and a root rake. I cut 5-7 acres of pasture every couple of weeks with a 6' rotary cutter. The tractor is a brute - nothing I've asked of it has slowed it down. I hope you have as much good luck with yours as I've had with mine! Take care and God Bless.

Appreciate the kind review!

I have a Bobcat 2540 (cab 40 HP)(Made by Kioti) I have 120 hours in 6 months. No problems with Tractor. Dealer installed a sat. Radio and it didn't fit in factory brackets , so they jerryrigged it. Service and sales at Indy Bobcat was super. They drove 70 miles to me to pick it up and fix radio problem, they delivered it back to me in 24 hours. Excellent.

From one small channel to a slightly larger channel, thanks for the review. I picked up a used 2021 Kioti in early June with 131 hours on it. Really appreciate having a cab tractor! “Keep on Keeping on!” Tim in northern TN

I'll just say this that I'll never ever give the slightest consideration to any product that kioti ever had a hand with. I personally think they should be sued and run out of business for the absolute junk they sell and the way they treat customers

my CK 4010 did the exact same thing joy stick valve block housing was all galled up where the oring sits. they installed new valve block and all is good.

I got a CK 2610 just like yours. With R 14s. Love it 👍👍

Great video. I have a 07 Kioti CK25 with a manual transmission. Even though I have an older Kioti, I think the layout is well throughout. I mainly use mine for mowing.

Congrats on your purchase. As a Kubota owner (B2650) I think that Kiote does give you a lot for your money, and are priced pretty fair. We don't have any Kioti dealers around here, which was the main reason we didn't look at them. I know that feelng you're talking about when walking into a dealership of any type and they won't give you the time of day. Fortunately, our Kubota dealer is great and a pleasure to deal with, and in fairness, our JD dealer is also great.

You and I bought our Kioti’s about the same time frame. I just turned 55 hours on mine and have to do my 50 hour check also. What I like about Kioti vs. Kubota, front loader lift capacity. Hands down Kioti is much tougher. Considered a Branson or TYM model, however, Kioti dealer was close by, no brainer for me. I’m very pleased thus far. I too don’t abuse it but rather use it to move dirt, move rocks, bush hog a small area and just general use. Very pleased to say the least. Definitely big price increase this year. Glad we bought when we did.

Glad to see the older models doing well. Makes me feel more comfortable this one is going to last!

I own a very similar but slightly smaller, profile 2022 Kioti CX2510, which I purchased a year ago and it has 85 hours. Prior to, I had my decision narrowed down between the Kubota and Kioti. When I started my search I was leaning Kubota but in the end I went with the Kioti and am glad I did. It's hard to say anything bad about the already proven Kubota; however, I think you defintely get more tractor for your money with the Kioti. I felt the Kioti was slightly better all-around in most areas when compared to the Kubota, and the CX also provided me with more of the standard features that I was looking for, plus I did not want the treadle pedal that came on the Kubota. I added some Artillian accessories like their ROPs-mounted LED lights (which are great), along with their stump bucket and forks, that are all part of their modular system. Their products are excellent and I have been happy with everything I've purchased so far. I would also recommend adding a grill guard from#5elevendesignz as well, this thing has been awesome!

Dealer support and service is key. We don't have that in Mississippi. So I'll stick with Kubota.

Thanks for the vid. I am in NH and recently picked up a CK3520. I was planning on the 2620 (for the same reason, no DPF), but after considering and hearing about how solid the DPF technology is from Kioti for regen, I bumped it up. 7 years 0%, cannot beat the deal, it's a great time to buy a tractor. I was originally planning on Kubota, as I had a little B7510 with a backhoe and was going to trade it in. I go the dealership, stand around like wallpaper because no sales rep wanted to look up from their monitor. I leave, go back a few weeks later and corner one of the reps, tell him what i'm looking for, he points to a used 35HP Kubota with like 600 hours on it for the same price tag as a new Kioti (with warranty for 6 years, unlimited hours), so I go to the Kioti dealer. I am now talking with the dealership Owner, he's giving me undivided attention, walks me around the yard, shows me attachments for moving snow, grading roads, etc. I had to stop him from talking and said, "sold". Only have about 20 hours on it so far, but it has been a beast. Does Kubota make the best gear? probably. Does it matter for me? not really. Kubota just doesn't need to sell any more I guess, just take orders from people because the brand sells itself. I looked at Mahindra also, but the Kioti seemed to be a better machine with better reputation for warranty service.

I went and looked at a BX2380 and a CS2220. Very similar tractors in a lot of ways, but the Kioti to me seemed heavier built, had higher lift capacities and felt better ergonomically to me. I didn't feel like I was sitting up as high as on the Kubota (better stability) and felt like I had more room around the seat which is nice cause I'm a larger guy. IMO, they're the best bang for the buck on the market right now, so long as you have a good dealer close to you.

I have the new version in the cab model. 108 hours in four months. Had two hydraulic couplers leak (switched to two new ones) and that’s it. I researched for three years before purchasing. Kioti has a big following in my region of Canada.

I dont know if they are any better both have good and not so good points. But I know I can find Kubota parts a lot easyer than Kioti's

I own a Kioti DK4710 and it's a beast! I had a Green one before and customer service sucked. I had 70 hours on it and the first time I tried to use the PTO it didn't work. Called the dealer and they said I was out of warranty. They wanted $125.00 just to look at it on the trailer. I got pissed and had my wife work the switch up and down while I crawled under it and found they never hooked the PTO wiring up! Every time I looked at that tractor I got mad. So, I tried to trade it in at Kubota and the guy made a ridiculous offer of $5,000.00 dollars trade in for a new tractor with 70 hours on it. So, I went to the Kioti dealer and they were awesome. I never looked back and my Kioti has never let me down. I've got over 350 hours on it and it's just two years old.

What did KIOTI give you for a trade price? I bought a brand new in 2019 DK4210SEE HST I love it very powerful a true BRUIT lift capacities 3100lbs on the rear, 2600lbs on the front. 19gpm pump you can't beat it. 24k new. with all the extras.

I have a CK4010Hyd and had the same o ring issue. My dealership recognized it immediately and fixed it. I think that is is a common problem.

I have a 3301 Kubota I'm thinking of trading in. Almost 600 hr and it misses. You can't even see the injectors. Basically a complete dismantle to check injectors or wiring to them. What does your Kioti look like to work on? Especially since you are a mechanic. Lots of other troubles with my Kubota, mostly hydraulic problems, but now engine misses on a cylinder. I'm not a happy Kubota camper.

Thanks for the comment. I noticed with the larger Kiotis that have more emissions on them they look more like a modern car to work on. Because this one is only 25hp it appears to be pretty accessible to reach almost any part of motor. Mechanical injection pump sits right on the side of the block and is very easy to access.

When I started researching to buy a tractor, all things pointed to Kioti. I was sure that’s what we would end up buying. All that changed when I actually went to dealers to look at the tractors. Kioti’s craftsmanship was clearly inferior to Kubota.

In 2020 when I got my ck4010SE the comparable Kubota the 3901 was about 3000 more with many less features. Hated the treadle pedal and the front load would not even lift the front end off the ground. The Kioti would do it even at idle..

Kioti best tractor for the price from Canada🇨🇦

I’ve owned three Kioti tractors so far (currently a CK2620SE cab model). I’d say they do give Kubota some stiff competition. I like the ergonomics of how the controls are layed out. The number of options available is superior to some of the Kubotas and John Deere tractors in some classes. The problem in my area of the country is that there are no dealers close by. So getting warranty work (haven’t needed any yet), parts and service has been a challenge.

So far the kioti does have a bigger lift capacity on the loader, more powerful 58hp turbo diesel engine vs 46hp aspirated engine but the Kubota does have a higher output PTO. And the Kioti is around $2000 cheaper. Il still torn but am leaning toward the Kioti purely for value for $$$$..... any suggestions are welcome.....

i wish they made a ck2620se rops shuttle shift....

found the same thing with the kubota dealers up here in canada, also they have gotten way too expensive since the scamdemic, good luck with the kioti

I thought Mahindra was an affordable reliable machine, So check on availability of parts for Kioti, like Mahindra if you need a new part or parts you’ll have a lawn ornament for a few months if not a year

The 4030c loader is rated by kioti at 1960 pounds at the pivot pin.

I guess I’m confused. I can get a kioti ck2620 or a Kubota lx2610 for the exact same price. But the Kubota has a mid PTO allowing for a belly mower in the future. Also comes with floor mat, and other stuff that are an upcharge for kioti. I cannot seem to wrap my head around the hype

In this segment Kioti CK is destroying the Kubota standard L series. Kubota doesn’t offer a cab in this chassis size. You either have to go way down in size/weight to the LX series or way up in size/weight/price to the Grand L series.

The dealership where i bought my kioti is selling them faster then they can put them together

I think the Kioti gives you alot more for your money than the Kubota, also they stand behind their tractor more than Kubota. It's built better, much better ergonomics, and better price.

It's like Toyota vs Kia.

I did not buy the kioti. They were not much cheaper than the the kubota and offered no financing incentives when i was ready to buy. I did notice used ones always have a new hydraulic pump and there is no line forming to buy used ones, whereas Kubota and John Deere used tractors seem to be a myth as you sure can't find one. Any off brand is going have service and resale issues. Didn't buy the Mahindra because of Mistubishi motors. Buy one, you'll see first time you need a part. I recommend sticking with the major players.

A good dealership is 90 % of owning any machine.

All the ones you have worked on are inferior to the kioti

When my Deere has an issue, no matter where I am, there's a guy with a trailer and tools to fix my equipment in-field if possible and often within two hours of my call. If they can't fix onsite, they will often lend me a replacement while my machine is down, and if I've needed parts not in stock, they've actually taken from a machine of the lot and had me order them the replacement part. There is precisely zero chance this brand can match that level of service. There is a reason you choose John Deere instead of these foreign options, when you compare the real value proposition relative the warrantied or usable lifetime of the asset, the foreign brands always lose because it's simply not possible to compete with Deere's service network.
