Thanks! These are both helpful replies. Agreed on the value of that manual. Better than nothing though, I suppose.

Hi, I can't for the life of me find the owner's manual for my LK3054 and I don't know what oil to get for this weekend's oil change. Anyone out there who can tell me what weight and specification of oil to get? What does your manual say? The tractor can expect heavy use snow blowing this...

Here's a shot of the CONEX where my Kioti sleeps at night. I've used the CONEX for two years now and it has been great. The only problem with it is that it seals too well and I sometimes have condensation problems. Especially after I've parked the tractor with snow on it. I clean the snow...

Now and then, I get to work on my long term project of building a new traditional New Hampshire style stone wall on my property. It's going to be about 700 feet long by the time it's done. So far, none of it is finished, but I'm acquiring a nice supply of basic building materials. Here's my...

From this weekend's storm. Why do they always seem to get more snow down in southern New England than up here in New Hamsphire? It just isn't fair.

Here's my Kioti lifting a granite step for the front of my house.

Occasionally, people ask about moving logs with their tractors. My LK3054xs moved this 14' long by 19" diameter white pine log with zero trouble. Both the FEL and the 3PH lifted an end of the log without a hiccup.

LK3054XS\'s First Chew Toy Here's a picture of my new tractor sinking its teeth into some New Hampshire granite.

Well, it finally arrived day before yesterday. But, between the need to do some house painting on a tight schedule and a severe thunderstorm and subsequent power outage, I only got about 15 minutes of seat time on it. Thanks to the dark, I couldn't even read the manual last night. So...

Does anyone out there make a single tooth ripper for CUTs? This seems like a useful implement to use for getting stumps out of the ground if you can't afford a BH. Any thoughts?

Buttercup is my new LK3054XS. Here you see her at Upper Valley Tractor in Enfield New Hampshire. I expect KiotiDave to deliver her to her new home some time in the next week to ten days. Buttercup has the KL1320 FEL with a 54" toothbar equipped bucket. She's going to have a remote hydraulic...

OK, I'm sitting here watching the steady rain turn the world even muddier than it already was and my brain starts to wander... We call these machines "tractors" because they exert traction. They pull. Pretty obvious. But, just how much traction do they exert? So, I take that LK3054xs that I...

So far, I have heard of filling tires with calcium chloride solution, glycol antifreeze mix, and windshield washer fluid to add weight while avoiding freezing problems. What might be the advantages and disadvantages of each method? A few of these products can be a bit toxic. The washer fluid...

What effect does power have on how you can use a tractor? Take the CK25 and CK30 for instance. Both are the same size and weight and take the same FEL and same size of other implements as well. The lift capacity of the 3PH is the same. Yet, one has 20% more horsepower than the other. How...

As I was reading the various Kioti brochures I've gathered over the past week, I noticed something interesting about the CK20 brochure. It shows the tractor wearing ag sneakers on an immaculate lawn out in front of a suburban mansion. Does that mean Kioti believes the primary market for the CK...

My local Kioti dealer here in central NH is quoting $13,700 for a CK20HST with FEL and $14,750 for an LK3054 also with FEL. How do these prices stack up? He wasn't very keen on the CK20. He says he feels they are underpowered because they bog down when you accelerate sharply in hi range, even...

I'm another newbie to tractors and have found myself drawn by all the praise you folks are heaping on your Kiotis. I'm considering buying a compact tractor myself. I see myself needing an FEL and snow blower. As I get to know the equipment better, I may be interested in other attachments...
