The poacher caught up underneath when you ran over him in the long grass? :)

Congrats on your new machines! Perhaps you can help me out here though - I just looked up Kioti's website to find out more about that tractor, and I'm puzzled. What does this mean:

Agree 100%. Good clear and STEADY video, good audio, and a great presenter, and well worth my time to enjoy watching. Well done Dr.

Back in the 70's we bought a Wilkins Service (English brand) front-loading washing machine, primarily because of its low water consumption. Front-loaders were a new thing then, and it was always funny to see people's reactions when they saw it, and wondered what held the water in! But I digress...

This won't help the OP, except maybe for the fact that my problem was down to the operator - me! Tractor was LG47hp (LG now LS) and I abused the front axle by asking the FEL to do what it wasn't designed to do, placing horrendous down loads on the front axle, and REALLY subjecting the forks on...

Here's a drawing of what happened. It's exaggerated somewhat to illustrate the issue better. As you're probably aware, flange bearings allow for the shaft not being at right angles to the mounting. However, when the flange moves, the axis of rotation alters. So the flywheel stills runs "true"...

I don't understand what you're suggesting, sorry. Could you elaborate?

I've had a WC88 for about six years now, working it probably 100 hours per year, on olive tree prunings mostly. Typical max size around 80mm or so diameter. Recently it started making "noises" which turned out to be the flywheel hitting the inside housing of the chipper under the outlet shute...

Years ago, my tractor was an LG47 (LG of course now known as LS) and it's AC stopped producing cold air, as the compressor clutch was not pulling in. I put a multimeter on the connector and yep - 12 volts. So what gives? Turns out there was voltage getting through to the connector, but not a...

I took a load of electronic stuff to the tip yesterday, and all of it working perfectly well in the way it was designed. So what's the story? Obsolescence! Two were flat screen tv's with digital tuners. Then the FTA (free to air) broadcasters upped the ante with now mostly high definition...

I just printed out the circuit on an A3 size sheet (for clarity) to see what the link was with the clutch pedal blowing that fuse when pressed. I'm not a sparkie, but comparing what needs to happen in my Kioti, I'm assuming: The 'Key Switch' sends power via a 5amp fuse to: the PTO switch, the...

This might be totally irrelevant, however, for what it's worth: A mate's Vermeer SkidSteer working on our place, suddenly wouldn't start. After much probing and part-dismantling to get at the fuse next to the starter motor, we had a closer look at the accessible 4-fuse block next to the...

The above was in answer to the question: "Are you sure the evaporator and condensor are clean and clear? Can you see light through them?" In the case of the AC in my Kioti being annoyingly erratic - producing nice cold air one day, then no cooling at all the next (or even the same afternoon) -...

We had a Davis Vantage Vue which started acting erratically reporting rainfall. Checked the battery, the funnel for blockages, the inside for spiders, phoned the Australian reps, but all to no avail. Rather than pack it up and send it to them for examination and possible repair, I just bought a...

A shoddy repair: Close enough for a government job!
