Kioti DK35...Good Deal?

[maxx123]

Make sure you check the wiring harness. Electrical problems could be right in front of your eyes.

another question are you financing or not. If not do the math on the payment. would guess a loan on slightly used one would be 8 Plus rate so the Payment on new may be the same. I just saw bobcat is offering 0% and are giving the loader for free.

Buy a Bobcat ct 230 or 35 they are giving them away at alot of dealers, same tractor as Kioti.
I have heard of 30s and 35s going for around 10k can't beat those deals. call some Bobcat dealers.

The Bobcat deals ended last week. Kioti is competetive again.

I went and looked/drove the tractor it ran great and was in good shape. Engine was clean, no oil leaks. PTO ran fine it handled the 6 ft brush hog with no problem. Oil on the dip stick at the back by the PTO was very clean.

Issues:
It was hard to get in and out of 4wd and accelerator lever on column was very tight (hard to move), I was wondering if this is normal. However, the foot accelerator was fine.

Also the steering wheel had some play.

I think he'll go as low as $10,000. Any thoughts/input?

I have a Kioti DK35 that I just bought last week and had it running non-stop this weekend. Pushed down trees, pulled out fences, bushhogged a few acres of grass, graded a driveway and loved it.

I cannont for the life of my get the 4wd to engage. How do you engage the 4wd on a Kioti DK35? I got it as a fluke one time, but was not able to get it going again.

Any help would be much appreciated. I was going to start pushing my trees down but I didnt have the traction.

Hendy: If the tractor has a FEL, use it to lift the weight off the front wheels, that makes it a lot easier to engage and disengage the 4 wheel drive.

Mine usually goes into 4-wheel ok, but is hard to get out. I just push the lever down and roll forward a little and I am in 4-wheel drive. To come out of 4-wheel drive I pull up on the handle and roll forward a little and I am out of 4-wheel drive.

You may need to spray some penatrating oil on the linkage and the shaft where it goes into the transmission.
I engage/disengage the 4 wheel drive while moving and it slides right in and out.

I have a foolproof way that never fails. I come to a complete stop, then push the button. Goes in amd out of 4wd everytime. (sorry couldn't resist)

Pray tell, why do you bother coming to a complete stop? The new DK tractors go into and out of 4wd on the fly quite happily.
