- 22 SANY SY 50U, '10 Kioti DK 40se/hst KL-401 FEL, loaded tires, KB-2485 bhoe, Tuffline TB160 BB, Woods QA forks, MIE Hydraulic bhoe thumb & ripper tooth, Igland 4001 winch, & GR-20 Log Grapple. Woods BBX72" Brush Mower. Diamondplate aluminum canopy
My DK-35 has 150 hours on it and it seems to be pretty loud when it starts for the first few seconds, and then it quiets down. Is this the nature of the beast, or something else? I'm talking when it has sat overnight in the barn- (currently unheated), or when its sat outside for some time to the point it needs to be glowed to start.
I'm running leftover uncut summer fuel, but have had no issues. I leave it running when I'm using it, (when I break to use the head or whatever) so it won't gel the fuel on me when outside for extended amount of time at night.
Also the power steering is stiff as all get out when I first start it in the morning or after having sat out enough to chill down. It seems strange that the power steering wouldn't be just like any other vehicle- when its turned it should go smoothly unless it was really fridgid? No? Am I missing something?
Thanks to all in advance for your help.
