Read articles →This is an owner's walkaround after actually running the CK3510 for a season, not a dealer pitch. He points out real quirks: a flimsy hood latch that pops open on brush, a turn-signal stalk that catches your pant leg, a bucket controller with a known sticking issue (and a wood block fix), plus praise for the loader with a log splitter and a $600 tooth bar upgrade for rocky clay soil. Useful for buyers wanting lived-in gripes over spec sheets.
Posted by an owner running this tractor on their own property (Homestead On Goose Ridge), sharing hands-on impressions rather than a sales pitch.
Yes, the bucket controller can get stuck forward or in engage. Owners made a small wood block to engage it temporarily so it springs back, which also helps when running a wood splitter.
The owner says yes, especially with rocky clay soil. It is about a $600 upgrade and has done a great job compared to the stock plastic piece that is cheap and can pop off.
The hood release is flimsy and pops open in brush with no guard, and the turn signal stalk sticks out and catches your pant leg getting in and out of the tractor.
