Hello, After a long absence from this site, I have returned for some good advice. For personal reasons I had to sell every thing I had which was a Kioti DK45S, 6' mower, Loader, Pallet forks, box grader, angle blade and tire chains. So now Im in the market to start over and have run across a...

Changed oil in my tractor yesterday.....the threads in one of the drain plug holes stripped out. Bought an oversized drain plug and when installing that....the pan cracked. Has anybody replaced a pan on these tractors? Any info on the procedure would be greatly appreciated.

Any opinions or suggestions are welcomed. Price looks good. Hows the quality? I'm looking for one for next year. I surely don't need a commercial quality unit just for my own yard. $2999 for a zero turn sounded cheap to me. The Home Depot

I have a dumb question, but I would like to know or at least have an idea. We are hosting a picnic later today and plan on taking kids and adults on a hay wagon ride in the country here with the Kioti 45S. I was just wondering what would be the safe towing capacity. Never have really thought...

I'm submitting this post for someone else. They are working on a L3010 HST with about 500 hours. After 15 to 20 mins of mowing the tractor slowly dies to a idle and then quits. Let it set, maybe cooling down, and the tractor starts up and runs another few mins. Air filter has been checked. Fuel...

The quick attach setup on my 45S used to lock in the unlock position when the lever was moved over to that position. After locking the lever in the locked position it always stays locked. When the tractor was new the lever locked in both positions. I would think the lever should stay locked in...

I seen this Ford tractor last year at a tractor pull. It was used as a tow tractor. Last year I did not have my camera with me. This year I did. Soundguy filled me in last year about these tractors. I did not ask how much it was selling for. Neat looking tractor I think. My favorite picture is...

I have been digging out a bank behind the house. Hope to put a garage and parking area there. I have really been impressed with the 45S and KL451 loader. The tooth bar is a must when digging into this stuff. We call it yellow shale. Very hard, but if you dig straight into the bank and curl the...

My wife's aunt came over last night for dinner and just a social visit. She seen me hooking up the mower and asked if she could come along to watch. Well, I know back when she was younger she spent a good many hours mowing with a sickle bar mower and raking hay. I knew she was itching to try out...

I have an opportunity to take on more land. I'm sure I will need a larger tractor to handle additional tasks. Entertaining the idea of possibly round baling about 35 to 45 acres. I don't believe the 45S will handle a round baler. So my question is how much to ask for a 1 year old, 100 hour 45S...

I'm curious if anyone knows the weight of a 45S with R4's loaded in rear and KL451 loader with 72" bucket? I found the spec with AG tires and ROPS. Nothing on the loader or different tires. Reason I'm asking is because I'm trailer shopping now. Is 7K trailer to light? Move up to the 10Kor 12K...

I was wondering if anybody uses the Cosmo brand of fertilizer spreaders? Any info on the brand would greatly be appreciated. I'm looking at some of there fertilizer spreaders and was just wondering what other members think. Thanks in advance.

On the DK45S the standard size I guess is Cat.1 3pt hitch arms. At least mine is. Can you put Cat.2 size on? I tried to plow today, except I found out I needed Cat.2 ends. Any ideas?

I just installed a Linksys wireless router model # WRT54G. The home computer that it is attached to is a Windows XP SP2 system. My notebook is a Windows 2000 unit with a Belkin 802.11B card. I got the notebook to connect to the internet through the wireless router. I want to use the printer that...

Friday snowday turns into a paid vacation day. Seat time and family time in the snow. Then a little deer hunting in the afternoon. No luck on the deer though.
