New DK being Delivered. Thanks.

You hit the nail on the head..you wish for a big tractor but yours fits most of your needs....I have a JD 3020 with FEL but yet find most of the time I am on my NH TC 29 with FEL and folding ROPS because it fits into the woods, under the trees in the pasture and is easier to manuver in tight places...big is not always better and that is why ego has to stay out of the tractor purchase IMO...buy what you really need or are going to need in the not to distant future.

Well, it's here. Arrived on Tue. Haven't had a chance to snap some photos yet, as it sure does get dark early now. Didn't think of grabbing the camera when it was being delivered. I guess I was too excited.

And it actually fits in the garage (with the 2 trucks) Sweet.

Ordered the 3pt wood splitter from Northern Tool, that should be in Fri.

Now have to get serious about searching for a snowblower for winter.....
Looking at 2 Pronovosts. A Puma & a Lynx. Also looking a Blizzards.
Was originally thinking a 64" blower, but after some more measuring, looks like a 70" would be a better fit. hmm......

Hooked up the log splitter tonight. Northern Tool's Powerhorse 3".

Will take pics tomorrow.

Hey Yota,

dang that week of waiting sure went fast for me... how about on your end?

I got to use my DK40SE HST for some snow pushing and LOVE it. You are going to love your Kioti.

Don't forget that the stock headlights are worthless unless you need to see the back of your own FEL bucket. So get to mod'in and get some aux lights on that bad boy!

Yeah, I have to look for a wire for 12v. There is a fuse for a worklight, and one for spare, so one has to go somewhere?


I noticed something today. My ROPS was in the 2nd hole, so tilted at around a 45 deg angle, so I could get in/out of garage. When I was in the field, I grabbed it to get up on the drawbar to see the RPMs. I noticed the ROPS flexed a bit. The whole (orange) body flexed too. Seat, rear fenders and all. It appeared to be flexing around the mounting brackets at the axle. Has anyone else noticed this? hmm..... Could the brackets be loose? hmm.....

Without going and looking, from what I remember the ROPS is bolted to the rear housing of the tractor and I don't think anything else is attached to it, but then again my memory is not good.

Let me know how the splitter works. I have been looking at one for some time .

[PA hayseed]

doesn't sound right to me. I keep mine in the 45 angle all the time. When I lift it straight it doesn't flex at all. Even when I lower it it doesn't flex. I would want those bolts checked.

I don't know how much flex your talking about. If it is a little wiggle I wouldn't be too concerned, but the way you use the term flex causes me concern.
