[gkh7890]

Pack,
I did it!!!! Brought home my new toy/tool this afternoon!!! Going to try and post pics of the awesome afternoon festivities :thumbsup:

DK40SE HST, 401 FEL, 2 Chain Hooks, loaded rears, Sun Shade (not installed - I will do a little later)......took a trip thru the yard so I did manage to get the tires a little dirty. Had rain all night last night so the Mrs. told me not to make a mess....have her (the Kioti) tucked away in the garage for the night!!!

Nice tractor you have there and welcome to the pack. I just got my tractor, a DK45 with FEL and BH last week and I am pretty impressed with the build quality and fit and finish of it so far.


Good luck and happy tractoring......

I have to say I think I like the dark grey (black?) better than the light grey on the older ones (mine)

Nice rig, looks like a young fellow in the first pic just waiting to take it out for a spin. Post some pics when you have the sun shade on and its hard at work. Have fun and be safe. :thumbsup:

I agree, at least when it is clean.

What size trailer of you have? I need to buy a trailer soon and I am not sure what size I need. The DK40 looks like it fits on yours with room to spare for an implement.

Thanks everyone for the comments! Its great to be a part of the pack!!! Got it nice and dirty last night & this afternoon bush/brush hogging (not sure of the correct terms??). I'll post a pic or two a little later...spent 2 hrs mow'n then ran the weed eater.....I'm beat!

Warhammer, the trailer is a 80" X 18' with a 10,000lb capacity, electric brakes and a 2ft. dovetail. I've hauled a skidsteer and my father-n-law's JD 5303 on it (separately). I will tell you, that when we loaded my Kioti w/ the bucket touching the front, it couldn't have been more dead on regarding weight distribution!!!!!!! I've had the others off and swayed all over the place BUT this was absolutely PERFECT!!!!!

Now, I will tell you I've wished I had stepped up to the 20ft trailer at times as I've been pressed for space w/ the JD5303 & Woods BB72. I've not had the chance to put the Kioti on it w/ the FEL and BB72. BTW, does anyone use a quick-hitch....I had a bear of time hooking up the BB72? The QH sounds better and better.

I know this is going to sound real petty, but when you are looking at trailers, pay attention to the method in which the tail lights are attached. I've been thru a set already and need to replace this set. They get hit very easy!!! Let me know if you want and I'll post a few pics or send you a PM if you'd like??

I'll post my "dirty pics" soon. :laughing:
