    Draft Control Operation

    Question about my '03 DK55C: Is the draft control activated by changes in the implement height or an increase/decrease in the pulling resistance of the implement, i.e. if the implement starts dragging the tractor down then the draft control lifts it some? The manual could be interpreted either...

    Fit Rite vs HayTools Hydraulic Top Links

    I'm currently looking at hydraulic top links from Fit Rite and Haytools. Is either one substantially better than the other? I see a lot of recommendations for Brian at Fit Rite but I don't feel like waiting 20 weeks if I don't need to. Thanks, PWR

    Filter List for DK45 and DK55 Series Tractors

    I've been looking for definitive information on these filters since I joined and always seemed to come up short (probably because I got overwhelmed by all the other great info!) I should have these filters in hand by this weekend to verify that they fit. The Donaldson air filters were quite a...

    I'm planning on adding a hydraulic diverter set-up, to power a new root rake grapple, and need some information. Can someone tell me the size of the hydraulic hose and connectors and the type of connectors I need to plumb the Kioti FEL valve? The new diverter block ports are 3/8 (-06) ORB...

    Root Rake (not grapple)

    I see dozens of posts about root rakes/grapples with the hydraulically operated top pieces. Who's using a root rake without the top-side clamping arms (thumbs)? Strongly considering a 60" rake with 1" teeth from The Rake Shop.

    Connecting Log splitter to Remotes

    Been away from the site for awhile - looks like I missed some action! I'm planning on buying one of the Speeco, 3 pt. hitch; log splitters sold at Tractor Supply and have several questions for you. The splitter is sold without hoses (the hose connections to the splitter valve are...

    DK55 and general hydraulic questions

    I'm looking at various 3-point attachment, remote hydraulic connected log splitters. Most manufactures can tell you how many tons of force the splitter will produce at a given input pressure (tractor's hydraulic system output pressure). With this in mind, and thinking about other hydraulic...

    Thanks to a great dealer…DePratt Equipment Sales!

    Thanks to Jon DePratt for outstanding service. I was experiencing problems getting an upgrade kit for my KL1595 loader locally (most dealers didn’t even know the kit existed), and contacted DePratt Equipment. Jon quickly supplied the kit and a grill guard for a very good price (he even sent...
