Read articles →A mechanic's shop-floor walkthrough of a customer's 10-year-old, 1,260-hour Kioti CK35, making it one of the few real-world long-term assessments available. It covers maintenance access points (filters, drain plugs, axle oil), known electrical gremlins like the glow plug relay and engine-shutoff relay, loader greaser points, and honest limitations for clay soil or heavy work. Most useful for used CK35 buyers or current owners diagnosing issues.
The presenter references working at a dealership in the past and returning this tractor to a customer, suggesting a professional mechanic or small-shop perspective rather than a manufacturer or dealer channel.
The tractor was about 10 years old and had 1,260 hours on it at the time of this review.
If you're in clay, you probably want something heavier since the 3,000 pound tractor doesn't take much to keep a hole from staying in the ground.
The engine not shutting off is caused by a timer relay under the dash, and there is also a glow plug timer relay that can stick and cause issues.
The oil filter is a simple spin-off type, the hydrostatic filter is nearby, and the hydraulic oil filter is located down below the engine area.
