I have less than 50 hrs(3yrs old) on my Dk-50 & my worst leak is the front left steering hydraulic tube,drip drip drip. A few drips are coming from the gear linkage too but not as bad as the front arm. When it's trailered the leaks look bad on the steel floor. Any clues for a fix on these? I...

I figured it would happen sooner or later,a limb rose up inside my back tire rim & broke off the threaded brass stem(too soft a metal for this purpose). I lost a few gal. of fluid but did catch it in time to roll the stem on top. If this happens to you a new part is about $15 & a few days to...

I am building a fork implement for my tractors 3 point hook up. A widow friend who has 4 sets of used forks,lengths start at 36" & end at 53", most are in good shape & some are heavier duty than others some are rusty(not serious). My question is, what should I offer her for any 1 pair of the...

After all the welding here is a photo how the implement works. Just need a nice coat of orange paint to match my machine. treesawer

Well after a few long hrs. of welding this boom is better than any I found for sale at farm stores near me. I tested it monday loading a heavy cedar log on my sawmill. I have never attached an image here before so someone tell me how & I can send a photo so you guys can have a look. treesawer

Have any DIY welders out there designed a nice 3 pt. boom arm implement 8 -10' in length? I need some good photos for ideas or crude drawings maybe. What I see for sale at AG retailers isn't made that well & not the color of my machine so this leads me to welding/painting up my own implement. I...

Here is my problems: The upward motion for the 3 pt. lower 2 arms is extreemly slow raising, like over 5 minutes to get to the top most point but lowerss very fast. Fluid is full on rear dip stick & tractor is new. My fuel guage won't register anything but empty. Any ideas fellows? treesawer

On my new Dk-50 I want to set up a 9' boom pole & rear adj. forks. I've read some past posts about folks having a hyd.cyl. on the top arm & hooked to remote fittings & how it saved time dismounting & changing the bar length. My question is what specs on the cylindersize,line lengths,fittings do...

Any Kioti owners out there using a kioti(rear discharge type) 60 or 72" finish mower? I am looking at Kioti,Woods,Befco,Kingcutter,1st choice,etc. to go with my new tractor. Give me your pros or cons. paul

I'll soon be the owner of a new Kioti DK-50 & want to use a finish mower to shorten my mow time on 1.5 acres. I've looked at 1st Choice,Woods($$$$),Bevco,King & a few off brands. Is side discharge best or rear? confused Paul

My 1st time on this site. Lots of research on Kioti brand,serious about a dk-50(no cab),need to finish mow & work around my sawmill. Will it pull 25" oak logs from the woods ok? A local seller has 1 in stock for $16K. What kinds of advice can readers give me pro & con by all means. Paul
