My PR.... is a 2016 so it is my understanding that TR is a 2020. Take the number to any dealer and they can tell you what year it is, what month it was sold, how much warranty is left and what, if any, warranty repairs have been completed. Peter

My DK5010 is rated at about 2600 loader lift and I have a 1300 lb counterweight and loaded tires. The tires stay on the ground when lift the max, but barely. I wish I had made it 1500.lbs. I leave it on all the time - feels more stable!

I added a 2 foot long, 2" hitch draw bar to the Cat1 drawbar, along with extra steel, then built a set of forms around it, and filled the forms with concrete. No trailer I have towed has been able to lift the 1300 pound counterweight.

My guess. If you back up with the flap up, the exposed beveled blade will likely cut in and remove material off the surface, especially a crown in the centre of your driveway. With the flap down, it might just spread material without cutting any deeper. A couple of tests and it may become...

You need to create a base of snow for the first few snow falls. If you are only clearing a few inches, use the bucket in float mode with a slight upward angle. It will scrape off any high spots. For larger storms I raise my blower slightly to clear the majority and pack down the rest to create...

For woods work, I find a counterweight best for maneuvering around trees. I recommend 50% to 75% of your loader capacity. Mine stays on most of the time as I am much more stable.

I had a similar experience when I purchased my tractor used a few years ago. Mine was not so bad, but to this day I have to beat on the SSQA release arms with a 2x4 in order to remove the bucket. With my forks on, the release arms move with very little effort. One day I plan to measure and...

@D&D and Mitch. To answer both of your questions. I was able to access one set of remotes by simply removing the seat plate. The cavity is not large so two sets would be harder but doable without removing the fender. You may need a helper. Yes, it was my first hydraulic work. You will notice the...

I am slow to reply.., adding a rear remote or two is very straight forward for an avid DIYer. I just replaced a leaking O-Ring in mine - first time working with hydraulics! I blame the dealer for selecting the wrong O-ring 7 years ago when it was first installed , so yes, you should be able to...

Old school calipers? Humph! I resemble that remark. [emoji1787] Not sure what happened to the other photos so here is one of what I called the block.

Problem solved! I had no experience working on hydraulics but I decided to try to repair it on my own. I decided to describe the process here in case someone else is interested. From what I read, I would likely have to remove the fender and maybe the rear tire. I did not have to do either. I...

Thank you! I assume I need hydraulic pressure quality O-rings and that a 200 pack from Princess-Auto or Harbour Freight is not advised. I see that they do sell Nitrile quality. Thoughts on those? I expect they will be metric sizes. So many questions.

I have a minor leak at the single rear remote on my DK5010. It is just a few drops and it only occurs while the system is under pressure. I believe I have narrowed it down to the black cast iron end cover. The other side of the remote valve appears dry as are the tube connections to the remote...

My tractor is a 2016 DK5010HS model with 830 hours on it. Some time ago my Kioti mechanic mentioned that some have strengthened the floorboard where one pivot pin is located. I just added a steel plate for strength. The pivot pin is welded to a 1/8" steel bracket, but that bracket is only welded...

I do not feel your pain [emoji38] In Canada, Diesel is $7.22 per US gal. Gas is $6.65.
