Broken again, loosing faith

My new serial number is LH######. Does anybody know what year that's manufactured? Just curious.

according to other posts here.... it goes like this

The change to the letter system started in 2004. So serial numbers 1,2, and 3 are still used for early 2000's. 2004 is a D.

after 2004, D-2004, E= 2005, etc. therefore L=2012

Looks great! I may have some cab envy as well, but I'll tell myself that's alot of glass to clean... How do you get at your remote with the triangle back there? Seems abit silly anyways on a Kioti, the whole tractor is the same orange colour:laughing:

Funny you should mention that. My dealer actually apologized for the placement of it and said it's the one thing they wish they could change. With the opening of the rear window, there aren't many options that don't interfere. For now, I no longer have a need for remotes, but one day I'll finally get around to TnT and a snowblower so I'll have to deal with the triangle, and a second set of remotes then.

Strange, my dealer told me they got this one in last fall.

Well strange that it is mine is KT and it was built in 2011. Thats what I am told from my dealer, soooo.

I removed the triangle on mine...not needed. i have emergency flashers and don't operate on any public roads anyways.

justr a heads up, if your not hooking anything up to the remotes, place a loop in the lines so as not to accidently deadhead the hydraulic system. do this a few times and youll wreck a very expensive hydraulic pump.

Cost of hose loop and fittings about $40.00

I'm on the road enough that I'll leave it alone until it's an issue. I'm not sure if it's the same everywhere, but in Ontario, as long as you have that sign, you're legal on the roads.

Good tip, I have a couple brand new hoses I haven't used yet. Not sure they're male - male, I'll have to check.

KiotiKen,

There is another option now for snow-blowers. Kioti is making their own sub-frame mounted FRONT snow-blower. I've seen them at my dealer's. They're impressive, but NOT inexpensive.

RE: TnT; I will be installing a TnT kit soon as well as a divirter valve to allow my grapple to be operated without disconnecting any rear remotes. It probably won't be for about a month or more- waiting on the parts to be made up for my DK-40. So stay tuned if you want to see my review on the TnT kit, etc.:thumbsup:

BTW, please post more pics of the tractor, IN ACTION! Moving the same pile of wood you already moved, or the girls driving over your BBQ grill, or something exciting!
