Overview
An owner's first real-work outing with a new Kioti CK3510, using chains and a front loader bucket to attempt pulling down a dead pine, then switching to a Land Pride grapple to clean up. The tree wouldn't pull free, requiring a chainsaw assist, and the owner frankly notes what worked (cab heat at 25°F, grapple cleanup, tight turn radius) and what didn't (hydraulic fluid leaking at third-function couplers, no bucket hooks). Best for new CK3510 owners curious about loader and grapple real-world use.
An owner-operator sharing candid first impressions from their own property, with family helping on camera, no apparent commercial affiliation.
