Read articles →A first-time, real-time walkthrough of the 50-hour service on a Kioti CS2520, covering front-end loader removal (including hydraulic hose disconnection with a third function), hood access, engine oil change, front axle gear oil swap from factory hydraulic fluid to 90-weight, and both hydraulic filter replacements. The creator makes and corrects mistakes on camera, including a lost O-ring and backwards loader hose hookup, making it most useful for first-time CS2520 owners nervous about doing this service themselves.
An owner-operator documenting his very first service on his own tractor, learning in real time and saying so openly.
Pull pins on each side, lower the loader, work the hoses to release pressure, then unhook the hoses, doing the third function hose first if equipped.
It comes from the factory with hydraulic fluid, and the manual allows either that or 90 weight; the owner chose 90 weight for extra protection.
From one side to the other, the order should be red, yellow, green, white, matching the markings in the loader owner's manual.
An O-ring got lost and stuck, and the big filter dumped a lot of hydraulic fluid quickly, requiring rags and an extra gallon of fluid.
