I just called my Kioti dealer and he says the smallest bucket for my back hoe is 12 inches wide. I need to dig some trenches and think a much narrower bucket might work better, say a 8-9 inch one. Any of you using a small bucket like that?

My electric four wheel drive actuation isn't working. The tractor is at the dealer for the repair now, it's obviously under warranty, but I was wondering about the frequency of this problem. Or is it unusual? Oh yes, the tractor has just over 60 hours on it.

I picked it up yesterday and my brother and I spent the next 5 hours assembling it. Here's the pics so far. In the freight terminal. The supervisor got on the forklift and set it in my pickup. Picking up the unit from the terminal saved me nearly $200.00 shipping charges over delivering it...

I just picked up the "Bigfoot" stabilizer pads the other day, and put them on this morning. Here's a few pics. This is what you get, one to a box complete with 6 10mm bolts, 6 flat washers, 6 lock washers, and 6 self locking nuts. They don't want these to come loose. Installed, from the...

Per request, here's a few photos of the Kioti KB2385 installed on my DK45S. The whole assembly: The operator's seating and controls: Ground clearance and locking pins: Traversing trunions and cylinders: I moved a bit of dirt with it today, still on the learning curve of the controls...

I just had my DK45S returned with the 2385 backhoe installed, and am curious about one aspect of the BH. The dealer connected the hydraulic feed and return lines to the two rear connectors on the rear of the tractor. My question is, is full hydraulic pressure available through those outlets...

Starting a new thread on attachments for my new DK45S. KiotiJohn & Motorseven mentioned that I need a post hole digger. Already bought one, a Massey-Ferguson 900. My Kioti dealer also sells Massey, hence I own two Massey attachments now the other being a 6 ft. box blade. I just need some...

An acquaintance of mine owns a farm, and talks about an articulating backhoe bucket which makes digging ditches along driveways and other off center digging much easier. I searched the archives with no luck, anyone have one or know of a manufacturer?

Now that my 45S is home, I'd like to buy a cover that protects the seat and cockpit area, anyone know of one that would fit this tractor, or come close? There was only one reference in the Archives, to fit a Kubota model B, which is much smaller I think.

Just finished the deal on a new DK45s today, just waiting on the 2385 backhoe to arrive and be mounted. I thought long and hard about a cab model, and I suppose on a hot August afternoon I'll wish I had one, but I don't operate a tractor for a living, but did need a backhoe for a wide variety...

Purchased and assembled the trailer recently, works pretty good.

Just curious if this is still a problem component or not?

MY Outlander 800 has a good rear luggage rack, but I need the ability to carry a few items around the farm for work. In this case, 5 gals. fuel, chain oil, 50 foot logging chain, two chain saws, and a Peevy. Worked well for that. I'm looking forward to using this machine a lot. Took it...

I bought this from Leed Engineering, receiving it last Saturday. It's very well made, and works as advertised. They make them for a lot of different ATV's.

While I've ridden motorcycles, both on and off road for years; this ATV thing is new to me. I bought a new Bombardier Outlander 800 Max XT which I will pick up on Tuesday. I've already ordered a 2 inch receiver hitch for it, so that I can tow various utility trailers and other attachments as...
