I've been running 0/40 in everything for years, year-round. block heater failures are usually just the plug or cord, not usually the heating iron... North western Canadian prairies..

No. Not even close. Treating a farm tractor like a piece of industrial dirt/logging equipment will get you that result. Every time. Though I will say I noticed additional factory steel welded (small patches or gussets on both sides) on the px9020 frame vs the DK90 frame right where a stress...

Obvious abuse. Using a little farm tractor as a piece of heavy equipment. That grapple is ridiculous mounted on that loader/tractor. Anyway, 30 pages of discussion, phew!

You did it the hard way. Simply shut the tractor off. Wiggle the remote lever that you are hooked into a few times stop-to-stop. (Once back and forth probably does it)..anyway, just flop the lever back and forth a bit, voila! Pressure released/equalized. Hook-up as usual..then restart tractor.

That loader on the Branson is exactly the same loader as on the DK90. Good loader. No issues whatsoever. OP is going about his mod ideas all the wrong way, imo. modify the bucket and the spear if need be. Don't screw around with a well designed loader. Duh.

My dk90 OEM bucket rolls back way further and still hangs vertical to past vertical when dumping/shaking. My HLA double tine bale fork will roll back adequately to go down pretty steep hills. When the bale is picked up near the very bottom and the loader kept as low as possible, I could go...

Lol. well it's a word here, and I didn't invent it so idk..

Rammy means operating with undo care and attention. expecting that something can take abuse over and above reasonability

I've had a DK90 since new in 2013. it's my primary chore tractor and haying tractor. There's about 2400 hours on it now. good machine the only known issue that I'm aware of is that the tie-rod ends were breaking. Mine didn't, but I know of a rammy guy in Saskatchewan that broke two. The part...

DK90 2400hrs+ no issues. Runs better than new.

Good to know that Kioti glass is reasonably priced. I would have expected a lot more.

Yes, you need a cutting edge. The stock bucket does not even have a proper, replaceable "cutting edge". Unless you want to ruin the edge of your bucket, that is. The true cutting edge also goes a long way to stiffening the bucket to prevent bowing of the bottom edge. ps, welded is best, but...

I's and O's are usually eliminated from most registries.

"N" is 2013. Just a confirmation of that table.

My Kioti has the latch. My tractor never sits long enough to worry about it, but the latch will be handy if it ever does.
