Bought an RX7320 last year. Lost the grapple and tore hydraulic lines, and thought it was my fault. I figured I didn't engage the pin all the way. Fast forward a few months. We are religious about making sure the QD levers are fully locked and engaged. Used the grapple to drag some brush back...

I am not requesting help, just adding some information that might answer a future google search. I bet this is in the book somewhere, but I didn't find it the first time I looked. I let my son sit in the seat of the new RX7320 and it stalled out after moving into gear. Not a surprise because my...

Thanks. I don't have many hours in it yet because I've been traveling, but it's been great so far. I did install some USB charger ports, which is something the NX had that the RX does not.

Kioti experts: Given the choice between an RX7320 with PowerShuttle and an NX6010HST, what would you suggest? I have an choice between both at near the same price. Both have cabs, front-end loader, third-function on the front and at least two remotes on the back. My primary use would be...

I am tee-welding 1" solid bar to a 1x2" tube 11ga. There are about 30 of these joints to do, and I was tempted to cut a 1" hole in the tube and recess everything inside before the weld, but not looking forward to boring 30 holes. Want to test with MIG and/or flux-core. So any ideas on the best...

So getting anything DKSE with a cab is not possible in my area. Or it appears, nationwide. I am scheduled to take my boy (3 years old) to a Kioti dealership soon, about 100 miles distant. He is an easy sell: if it's a tractor, he says, "I need that." I love that boy. So I turn to you - the...

I use 3/8" AR400 plate. We've hit it with 44, .308 and plenty of .223. A few M1 Garands had fun with, too. Steel core (M855 "green tip") will put pock marks in it, and the edges are always going to get a little dinged up. Mine have lasted five or so years and seen many thousands of hits (and...

So I raise raise hogs, geese, ducks, chickens and turkeys on a 'hobby farm'. We raise these things for food, for ourselves and others. If we attach the label 'hobby' to any farm that cannot pay 100% of the bills, then I suspect most of America's farmers are hobby farmers. Sad, eh? OK. Enough...

I live in the Mid-Atlantic area, specifically Chesapeake Bay Southern Maryland. We have a small farm and raise Muscovy duck, geese, chickens and Berkshire Hogs. This is not our full-time job, but some days it feels like it. We also heat our home with wood (Central Boiler e3200 hydronic wood...
