A few weeks back I posted a question regarding loading my Ags on the rear of my CK30.I got several very interesting and very informative replies.One which I received cautioned me against exceeding the gross weight rating of my tractor. Try as I might I cannot find information on Kioti's...

Now at 102 hours on my CK30 I want to change the fuel filter instead of cleaning it with kerosene as suggested in my owner's manual.I went to the dealer and the dealership owner gave me a filter P/N 84612-4316-0 .It sure looks way too small for my tractor.The owner is not as familiar with the...

I need a good rear worklight on my tractor maybe even two and also two lights high up on the rollbar to serve as headlights as I find my factory headlights useless with the bucket on and in proper carry position.How much lighting can my alternator stand?Any comments would be appreciated. EldonC

I am interested if anyone has had any experience with loaded rears on the CK30.While the tractor is terrific,I believe calcium loaded tires would give it more ballast for the FEL plus overall more traction and stability.Any comments folks? I am running Ags on mine.

I am hopeful someone can help with my dilemma.I cannot in my manual find any information on the knob in the center front of my seat.I assume it is to adjust air tension in the seat.Since washing my tractor last night when I get on the seat and get off there is a whoopee cushion effect though...

Being in the virtual countdown to finalizing my long pondered tractor search,I believe I am going to go for a CK30 gear. Could anyone offer their opinion on how close a CK25 comes to this model regarding rotary cutting,FEL etc. There is a fair difference in price.($2000 Cdn/apx $1300-1400...

Hi:I have been looking at all manner of compact tractors from 25-45 hp. Recently a dealership in my area started advertising the "Taskmaster Tractor". Can anyone tell me anything about these tractors? EldonC

In my long quest for a compact tractor I have discovered a unique advantage of the Kioti DK Series over ,I think all other compact tractors.In addition to the weight advantage and features per dollar is the dual control feature on the three point hitch of draft and position control.All other...

Hi:I am looking seriously at a L4400.It seems like a pretty good package.The one I am interested in has a 703 FEL.Could anyone tell me a little more about the L4400?Can it be shifted on some roll or must it come to a complete stop?Are the bull gears noisy at road speed?Does it have enough weight...

I have been checking out several makes of Compact Utility tractors and the CK30 seems like a real nice package.It will do 90% of what I want to with ease.Could someone advise me whether it would be capable of doing a little plowing and harrowing as well? Mind you I'm talking about taking the...

I'm new to the tractor game and I am thinking of buying a utility tractor to do some general purpose stuff and play with a little ploughing as well.I am learning that there is a difference in the hydraulic controls for three point hitch attachments and that position control is inferior to draft...

I am currently looking at these two machines and I am having trouble making up my mind.The L4400 is a new and unproven model yet has more power and a shuttle shift over the proven 990.Could some 990 owners give me some information regarding their machines.I like John Deere.

I'm thinking of buying a utility tractor for my 20 acre hobby farm.Smaller than either of these models would do 75% of my work.(Occasional FEL work,snow removal and mowing the fields).However I would also like to work about 10 acres(plow/harrow).Could someone advise me(1)Are these tractors heavy...
