hey all, I don't post much at all anymore, mostly because I am not very mechanical and can't answer half the questions asked here with the same degree of knowledge that most of you can. I still visit the site probably 3 times per week though. Anyway, after three years of payments, I now own my...

Hi all, I recently (last weekend) had my trailer stolen. Unfortunately I did not have a rider for it and it was not on my property when it was stolen so I will not recieve anything from insurance. I am looking to purchase another and was wondering if anyone knew of a manufacture that makes...

I just purchased a sickle bar a 1960's sickle bar mower, the cutter is only about a year old and the machine seems to be in pretty good shape overall. My question is, is there any rule of thumb on HP to size like there is for rotary cutters. I know its a little late to ask since I have already...

Just purchased a new Ram 3500 Mega Cab as my new vehicle to tow with and use as my every day driver. Towed my CK30 once with it and pulled it great, so much different than the times I used an F150 or Ram 1500. Already put about 1800 miles on it in just 2 1/2 weeks, last tanks I hand calculated...

Any dealers or anyone else for that matter have any info on when the Dk series will be available with a hydro transmission. A Few years ago before I purchase my CK30, they told they would have them for 2006 models. Now that we are here, I have not seen or heard anything that suggest they will...

I have been away for a while and noticed that their were some posts about the new site being up but every time I looked it was still the same old Kioit sight. Checked this morning just out of curiousity and noticed that the new site is up. This could be old new but i will offer it anyway...

Anyone in the know have any idea of when this might happen. When I was shopping for and purchased my CK30HST, I spoke to an engineer at Kioti and he said they would have them for 2006. I don't know if he meant 2006 models or in 2006 for 2007 models. Can anyone enlighten me on this and update...

After passing up my 50 hour service by about 5 hours, I finally called the dealership to come pick up my tractor and complete it and do it for me as well as do some warranty work. I was losing RPM's quite severely while doing nothing. Apparantly, I had a bad fuel pump. I dont have all the...

Forgive me for my ignorance on this subject. I was wondering if there is any place on a trailer that I can find what the axles are rated at. Their is a used trailer sitting for sale at a local gas station and I am trying to find out the GVRW. The person who owns it told me the axles are rated...

On the \"second\" stupid thing Well, after my fuel debacle, which I now feel better about seeing as this is a common problem, I went out to work on clearing some field area to prepare for planting trees and promptly sunk the tractor so that the front axle is laying on the ground. I have used...

\"First\" stupid thing I have done with my CK30 Yesterday, while doing some box blading, I opened up my fuel cap to see if I could see any fuel (the actual indicator does not seem to work always, is this a common problem?) and it looked almost bare dry so I went to fill it up. I have two five...

I have purchased some trees from the local conservation district (all seedlings). I plan on planting them where I currently have a field. I was told that it would be best if I tilled the field prior to plantint the trees so that the overgrowth and brush does not kill them. Is this what you...

After quickly browsing over the owners manual for the umpteenth time, I did not notice if it mentioned how many amps the alternator was. Can someone enlighten me?

Well, after the recent snow storm, I have finally experienced the first task that my tractor didnt just breeze through. I don't have a blower so all the snow work was done with the blade and loader but the drifts in many areas were as high as the front hood on the ck30. Front tires were buried...

Can anyone tell me how thick the ice on my pond should be before I can safely (very safely as I dont want to sink it 14ft deep) clear the snow with my ck30 (listed weight with ag tires is 3055, I am guessing closer to 4000 with industrials and loader and blade on). I know cars are already...
