Thanks for all the straight talk. It's back to the Bondo. For as long as it -- or the owner -- holds out. (At least I don't have to keep looking back at it every time I park it. Or pay extra for collision coverage.)

That may be because the Cub Cadet SC2400 didn't exist nearly 4 years ago when this thread started.

It is easy to jump into a very old conversation around here..... check the posting dates as you read.

The kioticlub site has been taken over by something else. Don't know where Kioti owners get together now.

I was close to buying one but I think it needs better quality control.

Actually the woodsplitter is a poor example. It uses shear force, a constant pressure.

For concrete, which has remarkable elastic properties for something so hard, you definitely need a shock load. If that load is linear, such as a series of chisel blows, so much the better. Think of 'cutting' a brick, tap, tap, tap, tap, THUMP. What happens? It cuts Ruhr along the line you made by tapping.

Now if you could make a woodsplitter with a very wide chisel and introduce some method of delivering a shock load to the chisel while it's under load that would work well.

Best of luck.

Not too many things it could be. Take the air filter system off the Gator and make sure it is completely open. Mice can crawl in the frame rail and build a nest in the intake. Other thing is the needle and seat in the carb. Sometimes the needle will get build up on it and won't seal the fuel inlet up correctly. You need to pull the float off and check the needle and seat.

This post is more as an update for those researching the Predator 425 Backhoe Loader.

I purchased one of these used in 2009 and it is a great machine. Super powerful for its size and can dig over 11� deep with the hoe. I�ve lifted over 2,500 lbs with the loader and it didn�t even hesitate. It is 4WD (can opt out for 2WD), and is front steer. Steering radius has been just fine and I have not felt the need for 4 wheel steering.

As for parts and repair: Bobcat does not support these, nor would you want to purchase parts that way . . . it is expensive.

The Engine: The Lister-Petter engine is a world class industrial engine, and is well supported for parts and accessories. Air, fuel, oil filters can be purchased at NAPA or other parts stores.

Hydrostatic Drive Motors: Char-Lynn Eaton (DANA Corp.) hydraulic motors made in the USA & still in production.

Hydraulic cylinders: Metric but should have domestic equivalents if replacement is needed. I had one of mine rebuilt for $75 � new seals, etc. as it had a small seal leak. Works like new!

Gauges & Switches: generics will work if replacements are needed. I replaced the ignition switch on mine for $10.

Backhoe operation: Super smooth and very easy � not jerky like many of the other small units I�ve used.

Loader operation: Again smooth and easy. Lifts an incredible amount of weight for its size.

Seat: Multi-purpose, spins 180 deg. Only need 1 seat to operate the unit & backhoe.

Overall Costruction: Rugged! Frame is plenty thick; decking is thick diamond plate steel.

Axles: Weak Weak Weak! This is the only shortcoming I found. I broke the front CV u-joints very quickly. Instead of simply replacing the U-Joints I totally rebuilt the axle hub to hub & redesigned the H-Yoke CVs into a single u-joint of much larger size on each size (much like you see on a 4WD truck. The result was a much stronger axle with all new parts (bearings, fasteners, seals, gaskets, retaining rings, etc.) The differential was taken apart & inspected, but was not in need of a rebuild. I made the gaskets & modified the U-joints in my shop (now using an inexpensive heavy duty Spicer 1350 series). The bearings, retaining rings, fasteners, etc. were all available through suppliers like Fastenal.

I also broke the rear pinion. Major components for these differentials are not available as far as I could tell. I simply removed the rear axle and replaced it with a stronger one, A Ford 8.8. The Ford axle was a good candidate for several reasons. (1) It is stronger (bigger ring gear, thicker pinion, thicker shafts), (2) inexpensive (about $250 used), (3) Well supported in the aftermarket for parts, (4) has some desirable features such as a flat mounting flange for the hydrostatic motor mounting, & gussets on the differential case for mount surfaces. I replaced the gear set with one that closely matched the front gear set on the Predator. While doing this I cleaned it all up, installed new bearings & seals & made a few brackets to mount the axle to the tractor and the hydrostatic motor and parking brake to the differential.

This turned out to be a bit more work than I had anticipated, but in the end, with the axles replaced/improved, it is an unbeatable machine for the money. I�ve put it back to work with the new & rebuilt axles & hubs without any further incidents. Aside from the front CVs & pinion, the rest of the machine is built very tough & strong.

Sorry, I can't help with the engine question.

That carburetor has to be pretty simple. $150 seems very high unless it includes removing, reinstalling, and maybe a complete check, oil change and tuneup. Do you have the ability to rebuild it yourself? I'd guess you could buy a rebuild kit online for $25 or less. If not, you might see if you can just buy a new carburetor. A new carburetor for my Honda powered pressure washer was around $40 on eBay IIRC (not a genuine Honda but it looks the same and works better than the original ever did).

I also cast a negative vote on the full throttle for cold starts. Any starts for that matter. My 45hp direct injection starts with the throttle position at idle, the 35hp starts fine just under 1/4 throttle. Only time I set the throttle higher than that, is when I'm recovering from air in the fuel lines. I set the hand throttle at 50% while I'm bleeding the hardlines.<br>

Only magnetic heater I've used are those little Kat's things. I colored the 200w version useless; not enough heat to get be effective through a cast tractor oil pan, plus too much free air heat loss. Simply inefficient. Rather than waste any money gambling that the 300w version was any better, I cast my lot with the Wolverine peel'n'stick pan heaters. Have had them on 5 tractors now, handier than a pocket on a shirt.<br>
