Hi: I went to use my DK40SE last Thursday and found the battery dead. Last used it about 2 months ago, and there have been plenty of two month intervals between usages. I charged the battery and got the job done later in the day. Any thoughts as to why this might have happened? It is out in...

Well I was out pondering my disk this morning and I am 99% sure that a piece broke and needs to be welded back together. First photo is two pieces separated, second is how I propose things should be. Can anyone confirm? The fourth and fifth pictures in my original post show these two...

Hi: I picked up a disc along with a plow at an auction last fall. Got the plow to do something reasonably sensible, but don't even know where to start with the disc. Foir a start it would sure help to even identify it. I can't make out the nameplate, but perhaps someone who knew the...

hi: I have about a 3 acre field. Lat fall I plowed about 3/4 acre. It is probably dry enough to carry on with disking and seeding. My goal for the field is for personal use field crops and perhaps eventually livestock grazing or field crops. The soil fertility is very poor, so it will be a...

Hi: I want to use a used Stihl 2 stroke oil container to measure out fuel conditioner for my diesel. I need 90 ml per 20 litres, so the size is just right, it has a scale, and it won't break when it hits the concrete floor like the MIA glass measuring cup will. My question is how clean do I...

Hi: So I was playing with my new (to me) plow, making a mess in the field, when I stopped to load some rocks into the bucket. The tractor wouldn't start again. As the Neutral light would not come on even though I can feel the F-N-R handle (sorry, can't think of the correct name off hand)...

Hi: I'm new to tractors and agriculture. I have part of a field that I want to cultivate for the sorts of crops that one plants and mostly forgets: squash, corn, grains; leaving the garden near the house for the daily salad type crops. The field is wedge shaped, about 50 feet wide at the...

Hi: This spring doesn't happen to be on a tractor, so I am off topic, but I figure folks here will know how to proceed. I beg your indulgance. Somehow a 10 cent part leaving on a boat out of China is going to cost me $25 plus taxes for a new one. This is clearly unacceptable. I have a...

Hi: The manual is murky to say the least. "Engage the front wheel drive only when the engine stops and do not shift if in drive." Does the above mean that FWD can only be engaged when the engine is off? What about disengaging? Thanks, Boulter

Hi: This is a small thing, but I can't get the boots to stay in place. I don't think the hole stamped in the metal is quite the right size to fit the boot. Being completely ignorant in the ways of hydraulics, are these boots more or less cosmetic, or do they have a real job to do with respect...

Hi: Lets try this again...in the Kioti forum instead of Kubota. The ink on the deal for my new DK40SE rig wasn't even dry and my buddy was coming up with jobs. He is reshingling his roof and we wondered about using the FEL to lift the shingles to the roof. So he goes home and comes back with...

hi: The ink on the deal for my new DK40SE rig wasn't even dry and my buddy was coming up with jobs. He is reshingling his roof and we wondered about using the FEL to lift the shingles to the roof. So he goes home and comes back with 13 feet to the roof, so the FEL isn't going to do it. What...

Hi: I'm new here and exploring 35SE vs 40SE. I am interested in hearing your thoughts on these "important differences". Also what about the loader capacity, sure double the weight, but it is only about 10% on a volume basis. I am mostly interested in transporting rock, so depending on the...
