    Advice on tractor for 7.5 acres - Mowing pasture and general use - L3902? What flail mower?

    I went down about the same path as you 10 years ago Bought 10 acres, 4-5 meadow, the rest woods. I wanted the Kioti CK35, wife had me get the DK45, ballast of the bigger machine made the biggest difference. First purchase was grapple, best thing for a tractor. Build a 3pth counterweight, it’ll...

    DK45 HST steering pump rebuild/replace option?

    Here’s a question. How is the reducing valve or sequence valve removed? It appears they are threaded in from the picture from the manual Can anyone verify? From noodling over the theory of operation as I understand it (barely), it appears these two are the best places to start, should I remove...

    DK45 HST steering pump rebuild/replace option?

    I remember reading the owners manual, warning me to not use the rear remote lever without anything connected. I remember someone here telling me to put a male to male hose between the remotes, just in case. I remember reading about removing the detent balls, just in case. I remember someone here...

    Broken Cylinder

    Mine broke in the same place, def out of warranty, and thankfully only 800$ to fix. I was misusing it however, I had the rams extended and pushed. Bad me.

    New Garage

    No matter what you build it痴 only going to get smaller as you start putting stuff into it (my experience at least). We went 28 deep x 36 wide and it痴 deep enough (even with motorcycles and kayaks and garbage cans), but not wide enough for 2cars and a tractor, my wife insis ted on a man door...

    Mowing  How does this fitting come off the hose?

    This is from a Kioti rear finish mower, remote grease fittings.I have replacement hose but cannot find how this fitting works, any help? The remote fitting line has been rubbed by a loose belt, crappy design in my opinion...

    Let's see some homemade 3 point ballast!

    About 950 lb, no weld design (but my geometry for the top link was off a bit).

    Top link options for ballast barrel

    I bolted two end stays from TSC onto a TSC drawbar, no welder. I did dork up the angle and bent up a few top links on the lip of the barrel, but eventually welded some extensions on (after I got a welder).

    Do I really need a finish mower?

    Yeah, I agree, no mention was made of the grapple, that was my first purchase, used to pull the rocks out of the field before mowing! Careful of the big ones...

    Do I really need a finish mower?

    I reclaimed my 4 acre field from horse pasture to a beautifully groomed field of grass, all with my 72" finish mower. I love the look of it in the summer.

    Just got myself a beast - 2012 DK40SE HST

    I second the motion on ballast, it's amazing how much more stable the machine is with weight on the 3ph. I made mine in a similar manner with a poly barrel, ~1000 lbs

    Thinking of Buying a Polaris 570

    My ranger is the handiest tool I've ever bought, completely replaced the wheelbarrow. It's also quiet enough, powerful enough, and unless you forget to put it in 4wd, pretty much unstoppable in the muck. Other than a replacement battery (the oem one is a pos) not a single issue with it. I would...
