I'm glad it was helpful! I felt that the KZfaq presence was missing information more than anything. That's what people are looking for.

Great Input!

My 2019 Ford Ranger tows my CX2510 HST Cab w/ loader and mower just fine. Heck towing it home new included pallet forks, grapple, and box blade. I have a 16' tandem axle deck over trailer I built w/ fold down side rails and brakes. I was maintaining 64/70 down the interstate no problem.

Thanks for watching! Feel free to stop by any time!

Yes. They have optional linked pedal, rear remote, and front third function kits.

So the engine is the same, but the gearing and tractor weight are not. I'd definitely spring for the CK if you can manage it. It's going to give you more weight and stability, as well as another transmission range for pulling.

thank you@@kentonequipment4687 !

I'd really run a 4' where i'm at in NKY for our hillside. Flails can be pretty power hungry. I'd say the CX somewhere around 6"-8" taller, and maybe 2-4" wider, and at around a foot longer with the loader. The weight is significantly higher.

On both versions of this model you have a single stage clutch, so if you hit the clutch on the 6X2 gear model to change gears it DOES shut the PTO off. Most people buy the HST version of this model, where the only purpose of the clutch is the PTO, so it works well. Warranty is only going to have issues repairing things that customization directly caused. If your bucket hooks broke something on the loader, or you were pulling something too heavy with the hooks and something broke, or if the spacers were so wide that the rear end broke, you might have issues with warranty. I hope I explained that well. Linked pedal kit is CXA102. It's about $150 for the parts.

The dealer makes the machine. The Kioti size/weight and loader beats the Kubota out no contest. The Kubota does have 3 ranges in the HST, which can be nice if you're looking for a wider variety of speeds. Besides that it's an easy choice in my opinion.

@Kenton Equipment thanks for your info. 👍

@Kenton Equipment Nathan, thanks again for your vid. I bought a ck2510 and just getting use to it. Nobody said in any vids or salesman say that you have to push the clutch in to shift the transmission. I wish i would have known that 😕

Hey, Alex. The backhoe on the CX series is mounted with a full-length subframe that runs underneath the tractor. It's a little heavier duty of a setup than what you see on the Kioti CS or Kubota BX/B series "4 point" mount systems. The downside is, that subframe gets in the way of all the deck mounting. You would need tools to pull the subframe pieces off and mount the deck pieces every time you switch between implements.

Yes, sir. Push button like on the CS or CKse

You definitely make a sacrifice doing it. When a tractor is made with a belly mower in mind they make it physically smaller, so that it's more nimble and easier to mow with, but when it comes to traditional tractor work size and weight are your friend! That's why I pointed out how heavy the Kioti is. They do a good job of balancing the problem. Both attachments are quick attach so you can switch between in a matter of minutes. Not as easy as having 2 dedicated machines, but a little cheaper for sure!

On the gear drive, yes. On the HST, no. Some people do it as a precaution and there's no harm in it, but if you're at a complete stop you don't need to.

I own a subcompact CS2220! What I like to do is establish the real difference between the two. If my main goal is mowing grass, the subcompact is the better machine IMO.

I have a customer who moves 4x5 round bales (approx 700-800lb) with a CX2510H without anything on the 3pt hitch. This is going to be the biggest distinguisher between the Kioti CX and the Kubota B. The Kioti has the weight to back up the loader lift. The Kubota will have a lighter footprint on the grass so that might play into your decision if it's a full time mower.

@@kentonequipment4687 you're absolutely right. I just think there's more lift potential in a CX2510 than Kioti is taking advantage of, if appropriately counterweighted. I foresee a CX refresh in a few years that will rid of things like the live PTO, maybe go to plastic rear tank, higher lift specs. Integrating the backhoe into the frame would be a huge selling point to me as well, gain some of that ground clearance back.

Thanks, Warren. I agree they would knock it out of the park with a 3 speed!

Are you sure that it’s not that your foot is too big 😂

We're in Northern KY.

It's made in Daedong's (Kioti's parent company) own factory in South Korea. Being under 25hp, it does not require any emissions components, so no DPF.

@@kentonequipment4687 awesome video and thanks for the reply sir

If you search how to take off the loader on the CK units it works the same way! Basically, here are the steps- fold the feet down, set the weight down between the bucket and legs on a FLAT area. Remove the pins on either side when the weight comes off of them, use the loader control to CURL/RAISE to get the loader up out of the brackets about 6", shut the tractor off, bleed off the pressure by working the loader stick, and disconnect the 4 quick couplers.

@@kentonequipment4687 thank you very much . The manual made it look different. I will give it try this weekend.

Lol no. As far as I understand the Summit brand is built from the Solis brand tractors, who have some sort of relationship with Yanmar. Kioti is the American company owned by Daedong. They built their own stuff. Bobcat buys and uses the Kioti tractor, but nobody else.

It's not listed, but i'd say right in the middle, around 5-6mph.

Yes, sir. It's a popular model with a true power beyond 3rd function setup. Runs a grapple great.

Excellent! Thanks for the info

Being an extremely heavy 4WD it does really well up and down hills, and pretty good side to side as well. It would be nice to have all 3 attachments optional but the design just doesn't allow!

@@kentonequipment4687 sp what would ya recommend that is similar in size, bit will accommodate all 3 implementations? I'm torn between this and the Kubota line's. Thank's 😊

@@brapppn-can-am-man6906 Consider running a brush hog or finish mower on the back instead, and get the CX2510 with the loader and backhoe.

The numbers definitely make it look funny. The real difference comes in pulling/pushing power from the weight. If someone is mowing more, I suggest the CS. If they're tractoring I suggest the CX.

@@kentonequipment4687 i agree. The other thing is that I wish Kioti made a 72" mower deck instead of 60" max. Thanks for the reply.

Not for that price
