I have noticed the Daedong engines are MUCH louder than some others. My previous tractor was a Kubota and it purred once it warmed up. The 'ol Kioti definitely make more of a racket. I don't mind it really but I was surprised at first.
Thanks.. I am thinking the same thing. Especially since you say it is MUCH louder than some others.

Kill the fuel the knocking stops, re-apply the fuel, it starts again. Adjust the rpm downward and it stops.

I know if it was a rod or something, I would hear it all the time. I once has a car with a bad connecting rod bearing and it made noise when I applied gas or not. It never went away.

Maybe I am just freaking out.

Thanks again!.

{I would be pissed tho if something failed on this thing with just 25 hours on it since I bit the bullet and paid it off last month. I know Murphy and his laws.}
