New KIOTI DK 45 SE HST

grsthegreat · Jan 4, 2014

those legs on the loader were the 1st things i removed. I store them off the side where i park the tractor. That eliminated almost all the noise i was hearing. i LOVE my bucket level indicator. use it all the time. No rattles with mine.

you'd have to pry this tractor out of my dying hands ........... i just love it. 400 hours on mine. working great

If I had toxic buyer's remorse , which I don't, your comments would be the antidote.

Welcome to the pack, Fig Tree. It sounds like you did a lot of "homework" to come to your decision. Good luck with your new tractor.

Welcome to the TBN Kioti pack. Kioti does make a bolt on bucket edge, which I have on mine, BUT I added two equidistant from the edge of the bucket and edge, holes for bolts/nuts to keep the edge's edges from getting bent/curled by rocks, etc.
To address your posed question, for future reference it would be worthwhile to post a new thread here rather than tacking onto one as old as this one. More are likely to see it and read it out of curiosity than one from 2009.

Lots of obsessive homework. Thanks!

Good tractor and forum info. I will check out the bolt-on bucket edge. It might be a better option. Thanks and thanks for the welcome.

Good choice Fig. Can you post some pics of the 3 rear remotes please.

Will do, Murph. I'll be finalizing at the dealer on Monday after which they will be making the modifications. Once the tractor is delivered, I'll post pictures

Yes, you can tweak the ends if you don't bolt or weld....ask me how I know:banghead:
Mine is all better, but it will take some grinding if I ever want to take it off or reverse it.
