    Loader FEL level indicator rod.

    Here you go. This is on my DK 40. In my opinion bucket level indicator is very useful. I use it all the time. When rod is even with the top of the tube then the bucket is level. I'm sure that you could find or fabricate clamps to hold the rod and tube brackets to the hydraulic cylinder if...

    Anybody Else Eating Hemp Seed?

    I know from previous threads that a number of people have been using flax seed or flax oil in their diet to maintain their health. I recently discovered hemp seed and have begun using it in my diet. I'm fascinated by the nutritional and other useful properties of hemp. I always knew that it...

    VIDEO - Removing Control Valve Detent Kioti DK 40

    I have two control valves on my Kioti DK 40 that right now are controlling cylinders for the snowblower chute rotate and deflector functions. The one that controls the deflector has a shorter handle and a detent which is quite aggravating when trying to feather the position of the cylinder...

    Here are a few pix of some of the cleanup we did after the "Blizzard of 2013" :laughing: The blower got a real workout and worked like a champ.

    DK40SE Cranks But No Start

    I've got a DK40 with less than 300 hrs. Big snow is coming and this tractor runs the blower and generator. It cranks but won't start. Not even a sputter and I'm getting a little panic'd. Panel lights come on and glow plug indicator comes on and goes off normally. I think I've noticed in the...

    Series 2000 LT quit while mowing won't restart

    Subject is a LT 2180 lawn tractor. While mowing along yesterday, the engine suddenly stopped. Turned off the mower PTO, pressed on the brake and tried to restart but nothing. It won't crank, nothing. The only thing that I can think of that will stop the engine while it is running and mowing...

    John Deere 1032 Wheel Bushing Replacement

    I've got a JD 1032 walk behind snowblower that I'm trying to recondition before winter. Need to replace the auger and impeller bushings. Got all of those out real easy. I've got one bad wheel axle bushing that needs to be replaced. Problem is that I can't see how the axle comes apart to get...

    Spring Fling Snowblowing - Video

    50 degrees F outside today. Still lots of snow out in the back where the wife keeps her horse trailer. Perfect weather to do a little snowblowing with the new machine :) Sweatshirt and a ball cap. Wouldn't it be nice if after every snowstorm it would warm up so that you could go out and do the...

    Rad/Bervac Factory Hyd Chute Rotator

    I recently aquired a new B74 Rad/Bervac Blizzard snowblower. Overall I think it is an awesome machine. The only thing that disappoints me is that the manual chute rotator can not seem to be adjusted in any way to make it reachable (at least not very conveniently) from the tractor seat. I've...

    Flex Shaft Chute Rotator?

    I know that most folks go for hydraulics or electric to make their chute rotator (and deflectors) more convenient to use from the seat. I was wondering if anyone has used flex shafts (something like this one) Amazon.com: Eazypower 30167 40-Inch Flexible Drill Extension with 1/4-Inch Keyed...

    DK 40 Steering Frozen

    I just wanted to relay an experience that happened today when I went to use the tractor to move some snow. The tractor lives in a tent garage and it was pretty cold out (was in teens overnight). It has some snow that blew in from the high winds and the degraded front flap door on the tent...

    3 Point Snowblower at Northern Tool

    I noticed that Northern Tool is now selling 3 point snowblowers from a company called Braber. They look to be a pretty basic, no frills machine. Anybody ever hear of them? They look to be offered cheaper than something like a Farm King blower. Braber 3-Pt. Snow Thrower — 72in.W Intake...

    Tiller  Bought a Befco Tiller

    I bought a used Befco T50 (72 inch width) tiller from a fellow TBN member off Craigslist. It has a few dings and dangs but it seems to be a pretty well contructed machine. Brought it home and greased all the bearings and chain drive, gearbox oil. Had to add longer hitch pins to adapt to my...

    DK 40 Feels Very Top Heavy

    I'm hoping that it's just me, but figured I'd ask if anyone with a Kioti DK 40 or 45 feels unusually top heavy and prone to rollover? I did have a old larger tire utility/farm type tractor years ago, but most of my more recent tractoring has been on smaller, lower center of gravity tractors and...

    I usually have 1 to 3 containers of diesel fuel purchased from the gas station for fueling the tractors.

    Turning Leaves and Stuff into Pellets

    Just about every fall I watch leaves being processed (raked, blown, vacuumed, etc). Around here in CT some of the collection is done at a town level or by landscape companies with big truck mounted vacuums. While mulching the leaves is good, I thought that with the price of heating oil, propane...

    Here's some pix of a stump grinder that I put together for my Magnatrac. I bought the hydraulic motor and cutter wheel from Power Trac (one sized for the PT 425). I made up the bracket to fit on my backhoe in place of the bucket (used 5 inch channel, 3x3 and 2x2 angle). Its gonna take some...
