My 2021 Kioti CS2520
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
I've been struggling to lift firewood rounds up to the level of the wood splitter. It was time to get some mechanical assistance for the task. There are several Sears Suburban tractors here that I could fabricate a loader for and I've considered that in the past, however I decided to purchase a subcompact tractor.
These tractors are very popular. I've been watching Craigslist and Marketplace for one. There are so many shady listings....even outright fraud...and the used prices aren't much less than new. After checking out many brands and models of tractors I purchased a Kioti CS2520. Yes, my thrifty nature prevailed in this decision. The tractor was the least expensive that I looked at.
The first part of the video explains some of my reasons for wanting the tractor, then I show the tractor and go over it a bit.
Many thanks for all who watch and like my videos!

I purchased a cs2510 back in August of 2020 and now have about 130 hours on it. Like you, I'm 72 and everything seems a little more difficult. I am amazed at all the things I do with this little machine. I also got a 60" belly mower and 48" tiller when I initially bought it. Since then I have also purchased a 48" box blade to grade my gravel driveway. I also fabricated 3 bolt on pad eyes for the top rail of the loader bucket. I can't tell you how many times I use these. Instead of pallet forks I purchased a set of timber tongs that I attach to the center eye of the bucket with a short strap so that I can pick and drag longer logs onto my trailer or out of a pile to cut up. I took a piece of 2" pvc pipe and cut a slit in it length wise to use as a softener on the bucket blade when moving the logs around. Using the tongs just keeps the load closer to the lift pins. I recently picked up a Nortrac subsoiler to bust up the clay subsoil to improve seasonal drainage on areas of my property. This spring I plan to till up the topsoil and move it out of the way and level off some eroded areas with the box blade. I hope you are as happy with your purchase as I am with mine. Have fun and be safe!
Kioti makes good tractors. You maintain it and it will serve you well. Go ahead and get some pallet forks.....you'll find they are priceless
When raising the loader (and lowering) , you want to stop and uncurl the bucket so the bucket stays in the same relative position as it was when you had it near the ground. If you don't do this and you have logs, large rocks, or brush in the bucket, you will likely end up with it falling out of the bucket backwards, onto your hood or worse, into your face..... Less of an issue when lowering it, but a good habit to get into. Happy tractoring!!
Screen is if you are mowing and blow up fluff like dandylions or cottonwood type stuff. Its easy to pull that off, step aside and clean it off before putting it back in
I just bought a new left over 2022 Kioti CS 2520 with a 60 inch mower deck , traded my CS 2210 in . Kioti is a GREAT tractor . I also have a NX6010 TLC and my wife has a 2020 CS 2510 with a 60 inch mower deck . You might say I'm tractor CRAZY . 😜 Great video
Pallet Forks are highly recommended. You can pick up a log and saw it without bending over or running the chainsaw in the dirt. Nice machine!
i bought a ck 2510 , 3 years ago and got a few hundred hours and so far love it. when i was shopping for a toy to do the extra work it also has the largest GPM hydro pump and the best rating, price was lower cause it is not green or burnt orange. enjoy your toy
Great video thank-you. Seem like the kinda guy I’d sit around a fire with and spend all day BSing! Appreciated
Number one is always the dealer support, big box stores can not service your unit. I love my Kioti
I have had a cs2410 for 7 yrs. Has a plastic hood have never had any problems at all.
Glad you chose a Kioti I don't care for the other orange tractor company.
I have the 2019 cs2510. Bought earlier last year. I have the backhoe on mine. I have put a front grapple. To me it is a must after using it the other day. Not cheap. There is a few different on yours. Wish it had the quick attachment on bucket on mine like yours.
Great looking tractor! I'm excited to see you use it on projects this winter 🙂

The screen is to prevent grass/debris from clogging the radiator - be sure to check it to prevent overheating.

Thanks! I didn't even think about that. I won't be using it for mowing but I suppose that moving around mulch and compost may cause dust that would get in there.
Great Video 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
The screen on radiator is to keep grass debris from clogging up the radiator, which would make your engine overheat. You pull that every so often and blow it or wash it out. -Radiator Air filter-

This thing gets super clogged if you're brush hogging a field, so watch that temp gauge and clean it often.
The screen in front of the radiator is to keep grass & debris from clogging the radiator & stopping air flow hence causing overheating! It should be cleaned after events like cutting grass etc.
good tractor!
Nice tractor
Great presation
Nice rig
Thank You I just ordered one.
Have you checked to see if kioti makes a log splitter that can be attached to your hitch? Just a thought......good luck with your tractor.
Cash deal and the dealer is three miles away and took a few days to get it?
I didn’t know that you ran gas in a Diesel engine
Nice tractor

Thanks! I've never purchased anything like this new before. I've always had fix me uppers. I hope this lasts as long as my forty year old Sears tractors.
