Toothbar - How much and where can I buy them

[boomer613]

Since when? Mine is a 011 Made in june of 11

Maybe, or maybe your dealer just had it installed already before you negotiated for the tractor. I haven't heard before that they moved to two sets (although it makes perfect sense).

According to my dealer all newer 2012 model have dual (A and B) remotes installed. But reading my Kiote brochure, Standard equipment only say one Remote Hyd. Valve (detent D/V valve). Not sure if this is last years brochure. Either case mine has two and he did not charge me extra; however, it might have been hidden in the bottom cost.

I too have the Ratchet Rake for my DK-40se/hst, in bright yellow, which contrasts nicely with my mostly black, but arguably charcoal grey tint FEL bucket.
It has the advantage of having two sets of teeth one set at right angles to the other, which allows, depending on use/need to use the larger or smaller set for the task at hand. Note: I also, prior to acquiring the Ratchet Rake, added Kioti's, made to fit reversible bucket edge. It is heavy duty and fits the holes in the FEL bucket predrilled at the factory. However, it does not, IMHO have holes close enough to its outer edges and hence the bar can, as mine did, get bent away from the FEL buckets factory edge. I took it off and had my dealer heat the edges and flatten it out and drill two equally spaced, (for reversibility), holes closer to the edges. Then he set his magnetic drill press on the bucket and drilled matching holes in the bucket. This got the job done, and seriously reinforces the entire bucket and saves the factory edge from becoming rounded off over time like lawn mower blades tend to do with use over time.

I use my log grapple to do moving of trees and boulders, etc. It is amazing at these tasks. My box blade is used primarily for grading long gravel drives and will be used in the near future for more serious scarifying of my crowned drive and other ditching type work. I too am considering adding a hydraulic type top link and side link to allow infinite adjustment of the BB, but can't currently justify the added cost. I did have my dealer add a second set of rear remotes and the second detent-less stick below the FEL joystick. So far this gets everything done I need done, except control of the BB from side and hydraulic top.

Murph, IT; remember, one man's black is another's dark grey!:laughing:

2 Remotes are A,B,C,D. I found that out. Keep reading your manual. You will see what I mean.

The touch up paint that came with my machine is labeled charcoal gray #J1-2889-2009T, If you can't get around that contact Kioti.

OK - so I must only have one then. Why do I have 2 hydraulic hookup ports by the PTO? I'll read my manual tonight.

Thanks, I guess...:confused2:
What size can did they give you? Or did you ask them to throw it in with the deal?
Anyone know what an equivalent Rustoleum match is?

In every "set" of remotes you have one supply port and one is return port. This photo shows two sets installed.
