Very good, Pics were clear and explanation. NOW, convince my wife I need to add one to the CK 3510!! I'm waiting--Wish I had bought one at purchase. To many people saying not really needed. Broke two shovels since.

Very helpful. Your videos are detailed, specific and extremely helpful. Thank you for putting this together for us. Great job!

Marking tire locations is genius. Milk jug is good trick. Thanks for the video. Watched it twice to pick up on all of your tricks. Definitely raised my confidence of taking this on. My dealer recommended blocking up frame/center of backhoe, probably accomplishes same thing as lowering to the ground.

I never thought of laying it flat instead of blocking it up, thanks for the tip.

Nice Job, well done. I run the CK2510 and used to dread dropping and installing the backhoe. I found a couple of things that work for me. First, I soak down the points of attachment with WD-40 prior to either application. Second, and this took some doing, I chock the unit as it lowers and this keeps it in place for an easy install. Mind you, it requires a bit of lumber but once cut to size, its easy-peasy. Finally, my series requires I sit in the operators seat to close the safety circuit. It is burdensome but necessary. Thanks for sharing, safe tour. Fidelis Ad Mortem.

So the weather today in NE N.Y. turned out great to tackle the removal of the bkhoe attachment on the CK20s and attach a JRW 52” blower. Everything I encountered was covered in your video. My tractor being a 2010 model does not have the safety switch in the seat. This made it easy to feather the HST pedal and ease the tractor away from the bkhoe. The only thing I did different was I chocked the bkhoe on blocks. I won’t be doing that next time cause I can see why you store it flat, space is a valuable commodity with equipment. If it were flat I could park a another toy or vehicle on top of the frame. The only thing I don’t like about this model Kioti is that the ground clearance gets minimal on soft ground with the bkhoe attachment on. I’m sure you know, that ground that looks good after freeze out but turns into mud. It wasn’t fun getting her out with chain hoists and a come along. Anyways all turned out well thanks to your post, thanks again ! Oh and by thanks for your LE service. Bet your glad your out, Portland is definitely not Disney. So glad I’m out of NYC did my time there left in 2014. Stay safe n well and keep up the great work with your channel 🙏👊👍💙🇺🇸

Thank you very much ..Well presented ,easy to understand !!

Hi, nice job! I have a Kioti KB2485 backhoe and after the hoe is off on level ground you can raise the stabilizers and lock them in place to save some space, with the subframe being so long it helps to stabilize it when they are up. Also these subframes are famous for cracking on the welds at the rear housing area, mine did after 20 months and Kioti put a new one on for free, however I've heard they have refused others the out of warranty repair, good to do an inspection of the welds when it's cleaned up, cheers!

Well done. I understand.

Great post thank you, tremendous help !! Subbed

Hi MWKA! Just love your videos since I'm planning to buy some 50 acres or so. A friend of mine bought a Kioti last year (4010) and he is very satisfied. I'm looking forward to buy my first Kioti tractor in a near future. That said, would it be easier and faster once your backhoe is leveled and your tractor can move forward without moving the backhoe, placing some pieces of wood like precise handmade stands, underneath the backhoe just the right height so when you're ready to backup again, you don't have to struggle that much to put it back on. Once the hydraulic is back, just putting the right pressure with the "side legs" on the floor...I'm no expert, but i would probably try that myself. If you do try it, let us know. But then again, that's the carpenter in me LOL!

Awesome... thank YOU...!

great video. I think measuring each ram when you have it in the right position would be helpful.

I wanted to put a backhoe on my kiote so I proceeded to the dealer to purchase one. They told me I would have to remove my subframe for the snowblower then add a different subframe for the hoe. That’s a very difficult job and makes it not worth it because I would have to do it twice a year! If I were in the business of making tractors and equipment I would design, a multi frame that would work for all kiote equipment including the mower. If I new this upfront I wud have a rear mounted snow blower or snow pusher. In the long run, it worked out OK because now I hire a guy once a year with a excavator to do all my backhoe work and I probably saved a small fortune not buying the hoe.

Hi there, thanks for the informative video. I’m waiting for my backhoe and use a sea can as a temporary garage for the tractor at the moment. I’m wondering if I’ll be able to store the backhoe in there, any chance you would be able to measure the widest dimension with the stabilizers. I have the data sheet but I suspect from the geometry they might swing out a bit further when 90 degrees. I’d like to know if it will clear the sides of the container so I can store it inside.

Thanks, great video, question on the backhoe, with the backhoe attached, stabilizers up, backhoe arm / bucket tucked in, over a time period arm, bucket and stabilizers have move outward, any suggestions or thoughts why this happens?

I guess you disengaged the seat sensor

Hi, Thanks so much for this. I have an incoming DK4710 with the backhoe. (have always had JD to date). I'll keep it in the barn on concrete floor but will need to unhook and then move out of the center of the barn. I've seen lots of home made backhoe dollies for other brands but not Kioti. Based on your experience, do you think a dolly could be made to work? It seems when yours it at rest, the weight is only on the bucket and the frame and the outriggers just keep it from being tippy, is that right? I'd welcome any thoughts.

I’ve got a new 2021 ck3510. Your video was excellent. I do have one question. My tractor shuts down if the park brake is not on, and the tractor is not in neutral when I get off the tractor. Do you have the safety switch disconnected under the seat? Seems it would make for a easier removal.

Thanks for sharing this. I bought a Kioti CK3510 a year ago and then last spring bought the backhoe attachment. The dealer installed it and I have been somewhat dreading removing the backhoe for the winter. I don't have a nice workshop with concrete floor. I'm struggling figure out where outside I can park and tarp the attachment. I kind of wish that I could remove the backhoe and then use my forks to pick it up to set it up on blocks to keep it above the snow and mud. What do you think? Would this work? Perhaps lift with a sling? I'd appreciate your ideas.

Thanks for this video! I have to remove mine for the very first time within the next days. I was thinking of swinging the backhoe sideways in an almost 90 degrees angle to save some room in the garage. But I am not sure if it may be stable enough. What do you think?

I came back and watched this one again. Now that I have one just like it I needed to know how to do it. I'm wondering about putting blocks under the backhoe to keep it the right height so I can just back right up to it when I go to put it back on. Would that work?

That rear bracket/receiver really kills the ground clearance - is it meant to remain?

How do you have your tractor in gear and the parking brake disengaged while it’s running? My CK2610 shuts off when I’m not on the seat.

how did you get the tractor to move under power with no one in the seat? I thought all tractors had safety cutouts to prevent such movement

Did your sales guy spend more than 2 minutes explaining this? Mine didn't, lol

Isn’t there a hydraulic valve you must rotate close after removing the hoe? located in area above rear axle passenger side, 10mm wrench 3 rotations ?

how were you able to have the tractor in gear running and not in the seat

How is the ground clearance with the subframe on?

Is that a thin blue line t-shirt? LEO???

Just got mine yesterday. How do you keep the tractor running when you get off the seat? Haven't figured out how to keep it from shutting down before I can even use the hoe.

91% alcohol will remove permanent marker from most surfaces. That way you won't have a bunch of unused marks.

YOUR NOT TELLING US EVERYTHING. I have a 2021 ck2610, and If I don’t set the break, and put it in neutral, the tractor shuts off ONCE YOUR OFF THE SEAT. Your pushing on the peddle moving the tractor without being on it WHILE ITS RUNNING. You modified the tractor or something, because I CAN NOT BE OFF THE TRACTOR SEAT WITH IT IN GEAR, AND THE BREAK NOT SET, OTHER WISE ONCE I GET OFF THE SEAT THE TRACTOR SHUTS OFF. WHAT GIVES?
