DK65S advice

[Husaberger]

Just bought my first Kioti
Any advice from DK65S owners out there?

All I gotta say is.. keep those fuel filters changed 2x a year or expect to break out a cool grand for an injection pump.!!
Happy tractoring.

That doesn’t sound normal to me. Care to fill us in?

If ur talking about the cost of the inj pump.. believe it..
The parts are “captured” and not available to the open market..unlike a Kubota, Mitsubishi or just about any other manufacturer..
U can only get a complete pump for the DK series..
Call around and ask how much a pump is..
It’s a hellofa lot cheaper to change the fuel filters 2x a year weather you use it or not..
If your using it, dirt and debris are getting into the filament..
If your not using it, the filament is sitting in fuel deteriorating..

Thanks pump guy. Very new to me as I take it for granted with my Kubota

Any other advice welcome

I don’t disagree, but I thought that you had a story for us…
Here’s some interesting reading. I like the filter idea from 5030…

Fuel filter bowl with drain

I have a 2018 LS XG3025H and for some reason or another I'm getting water in my diesel fuel. I have changed the filter on the bulk tank but it seems water is still getting into the tank on the tractor. So what I'm looking for is a fuel filter bowl with a drain in the bottom. This way I can twist...

Is that pump a 'High-Pressure' injection pump like what is found on, say -- A Cummins or Ford Diesel?

I know those are extremely sensitive to any contamination at all. The CP3 less so but still finicky.

When do you start getting into those type of Injections Pumps? Any Direct Injection, with a turbo, at a certain HP?

Thank you. I value your presence in the forum. You perform a helpful service to the TBN community

Yes, but they don’t produce anywhere near the pressures..
I’ve been doing this type of work for a living at a pump shop for 35 + years..
