Any body tried or seen a new Woods curved boom loader on a DK 55 yet? I am very curious about them . Thanks, G

update. Finally got tractor to shop after a long hard summer. Turns out, after doing all of the easy stuff at home, it was a new injector pump that was needed and the timing was way off. Bummer is when they took the loader off to get to the timing they found many broken and missing bolts for the...

I ahd a dk 35 that had a regenerative laoder valave which greatly increased the dump speed. Can I put one of those on the dk55. The single function valve on the dk55 is slow. Also I have the woods 1020 loader and see on their web site a regenerative valave. Am I better off putting the woods...

Well we had 3" of rain in 2 hours the other day. Went out and started the tractor the next morning and I was litterally back to square one. It started fine, 10 seconds later it almost stalled and blew smoke the was as bad as ever imagined. There is no water in fuel system. Why is this tractor...

Just curious . How long should it take for the thermostat to open and actually show a net gain on the gauge ? Just a curiosity on my part. Thanks, G

smokin\' dk 55 cannot stand it any more and called my dealer. He said to ground the intake manifold and give it a try. It cleared up the bad smoke at start up instantly. Next morning no good, smokin' as bad as ever. I put a second ground on it fixed it instatnly, this morning back to square...

I have around 100 yards of seasoned manure /bedding compost that I would like to chop. Has anyone made a chopper? I was thinking there has to be a way to make one from a manure spreader,flail mower, or even a tiller. Any thoughts are welcome. I am looking to make something that would have a...

O.K. sorry but this is the last try. I had the tracotr at dealers all winter to get things worked out. Loader specs out with the tracotr hydraulics and pressure. BUT it is so slow !!! Any one have any pearls of wisdom besides selling this rig. It has a Woods 1020 loader . It is trong and the...

I am looking at the 110 TLB with out the back hoe. Seems like the most tractor of it's size with the most impressive hydraulic system around. Any body out there veer run one ?

Today was relatively warm so I did an experiment. I reversed the lines on the loader and sure enough the curl and dump sppeds increased enough so I noticed it. Put everything back together correctly and was back to a sleepy slow dump curl. Any thoughts ?Happy holidays all, G

SAw some Challenger tractors on the way home last night . They look lokie the real deal. I went to the web site but it was slow down loading and I went to bed. I am thinking of trading my present rid for a comprable Chellenger. Any one know anything about them, they look rugged as heck and seem...

Any body, Kioti John in particular, know if the new DK 55 have any improvements. I am looking for increased hydraulic flow and a better remedy to a glow plug pre-warming system. I had trouble with the glow plugs and a pre warmer was installed. Worked great in warm weather but now that it is cold...

I know I ttried to ask before but! Any one know of any other loader options for DK 55 other than Woods and Kioti. Also any way to speed up my pump. Loader is sleepily sloooooowwwww. Everything specs out on hydraulic system. Any thoughts and no bashing, I love this tractor. Just trying to speed...

I drove a small hyrdastatic tracotr today to load manure. The loader speed was unbelievable, fast and resposive. I got home on my 55 hp shuttle shift and could have taken a nap with the loader speed. What's up ?

Well I am close to the end with Kioti. I love the quality of these tractors and have owned 4 kioti's. The loader on my dk 55 was originally a 1595 that was embarrassingly challenged in all respects. I have had a woods 1020 for over a year and have finally hit a wall. It is sooooo slooooow that...
