I purchased Mobil Mobilfluid 424 for the hydraulic fluid and Mobil Delvac 1300 Super 15W-40 for the engine oil. I purchased all this through my dealer. Knowing the fluid, you could go to your local dealer or auto parts store that carries Mobil. Also, I would assume a different brand that has...

This pic shows both levers. Blue handle is the new valve. This pic shows both valves. Blue plugs to differentiate the new valve. Also, notice again the thicker valve cover and 3 bolt heads. This is a pic I pulled off internet it shows the 2 bolt style with a small valve cover.

I installed a detent floating valve on my tractor. The 1st thing I did was get the shifter cable and handle installed. There were a total of 6 bolts to remove to get the right side "console" loose. Lower left of pic shows slot for bolt. Can see location for top 2 bolts. Had to pop off plastic...

I did add a 2nd remote just recently. It was a Kioti factory remote. If I remember the terminology correctly it was a detent floating remote. I am hoping this coming weekend to get the time to post my install along with some pictures.

I performed my 50 hour service at 56 hours. I replaced the engine oil and filter and both hydraulic filters. Engine oil filter part # is E6201-32443. I bought a 5 gallon pail of engine oil so I can do 2 oil changes. The hydraulic filter part # is T5710-38031. i also purchased 2.5 gallons of...

I own an old Kubota B6200 4x4 and turf tires. I bought a single point sub soiler from TSC for it years ago. I have sunk it as far as it would go and the tractor pulled it. When it would stop the tractor I would pull it up and resink it and continue breaking the soil up. I really have never had...

Another option, when the tractor dies next time, leave everything as is (key on) and check voltage on battery, that it is good. Then trace your 12VDC power up the line until you find where it stops. I.E. there may be a faulty relay that is going bad. Also, you can check for power at the fuse...

I have never had this type of problem, yet. I do understand electrical gremlins can be a nightmare. I will offer my thoughts and take them for what you will. I am NOT a professional. 1. Verify battery is good, load test it. Check terminals are tight and clean. Verify ground to the chassis is...

Thanks! When I was building it, one of my coworkers who also burns wood, teased me about adding running water and electricity to it.:ROFLMAO:

Here is my contribution. A picture of my wood shed I made myself a few years ago and my tractor with a bucket load of firewood. Typically I use my Ranger for firewood duties unless I need to move the tree.

Yes, I am contemplating adding lights at top of roll bar and/or maybe somewhere on the loader arms. When I was loading hay in the dark it was somewhat hard to see because the FEL crossbar blocked the light. I am trying to decide on a light bar or pods that are more easily adjusted.

I am going to try posting pics one more time. Still trying to figure out best way.

A few more notes. I like the fact I can easily enter/exit tractor from either side. The operators platform is easy to clean. Finally, I like that I actually have a functional seat belt. My other tractors had no seat belt. I have attached some additional photos. Hopefully they give you a sense of...

I will try to post some nice pics very soon. Here is a pic my dealer sent me before I could get my tractor.

This is my 1st Kioti tractor. Previously, I owned 2 Kubotas and a CaseIH. I have put 30 hours on the tractor in just the 2 1/2 months that I have owned it. I would like to offer an initial review of this tractor in the short time I have owned it. What follows is the good, the bad, and the ugly...
