I maintain the road to our cottage which follows around the edge of the farmers field. Every snowflake will blow into this road if the wind is right. My rear Pronovost blower will handle it without problem. Sometimes I need to take the top off the drifts with the first pass and then go at it...

I went through the same debate myself and eventually ordered and installed Dual Ladder chains on the R4 rears of my DK40. They only stayed on the tractor for 1 day. The ride on pavement was unbearable with severe vibration. Traction with the chains was excellent. I would have chains on if I was...

I joined the group and groved my Titan R4s today. Like nspec and many others, I used the #4 head, cutting my rears 3/8 deep and about 1/4 on the fronts. It took a good 2 hours and I'm glad my tractor doesn't have more tires. My arms and back were tired. My tires have 268 hours on them and lots...

I am thinking of ordering a set of rear chains for my DK40se. I want a set of 2 link ladder style as I travel paved roads often. I have R4 tires on my tractor and traction is poor. I slid off the gravel road last year while blowing the drive to the cottage. It was costly to get pulled out...

Here is a pic of my winter setup on my DK40. The power angle blade is made by Horst. It is a 7 footer with quick attach bracket. Fluid comes from rear remotes by a set of hoses attached to FEL. Plow is great for fast work and you can push piles high. It doesn't take much angle to push the front...

For comparison, I just had a KB2485 installed for $7500 + tax. This is on my DK40se with cab.

I bought a used 74" Pronovost in John Deere green. It needed paint so I had it cleaned up and painted Napa Industrial Orange. I have a long driveway that I snowblow which runs around a neighbors field. When it blows, the snow drifts in the road. A blower is the only way to get through it...

Hi guys, I am also looking for more traction on snow. Any idea who makes/sells the snow tires on this tractor? Thanks

Hello pack, Do any of you have experience with a hydraulic driven post hole auger mounted to the FEL with a skid steer attachement like the one pictured below? This John Deere unit has a minimum 12 gpm flow requirement and my DK 40se has a 16 gpm capacity. But will my tractor be able to...

Lots of seat time after this last storm Eh! I managed to get off the shoulder of the road today. The more I tried to get out, the further she went towards the woods. Had to get a Payloader to pull me out. Here are some pics of the fun I had today. Beauty Eh? [/ATTACH][/ATTACH]

Hi all, I just completed the install of a 2nd remote kit (T4145-A04040302) on my DK40se and would like to share some of the things that I learned the hard way. 1) buy 2 10mm x 1.25 nuts to install the longer studs. Put the first nut on and use the second to lock the first nut in place. Thread...

Hi guys, I need (want) a CT 440 with cab. I was quotd a price on $29,000 cdn for tractor with Cab and FEL. This beats the $35,500 that a local dealer quoted for the DK40 SE Kioti. I plan to blow snow, grade my kilometer driveway to cottage with box blade, garden work with plow and tiller and...
