Recently my dk40 gear tractor started whining anytime the hydraulics are under a load (power steering, fel or 3ph) It whines at all rpms and the whine gets louder at higher rpms. It has 258 hrs on it and I just changed the fluid and filter which didn't help. I also checked the fittings and...

I,ve been thinking of investing in some type of precious metal(s) Anyone have any experience on the subject?

With all this talk about tooth bars lately I thought I might as well throw a question out there too. I have a tooth bar and it's very handy, but I've always wondered why the teeth are upside down compared to the teeth on backhoes, box blades etc.? TIA

Here are a few pics of a toy box I built my 10 month old daugter for Christmas. It's basically just a 3/4" birch plywood box trimmed with pouplar. It's dimensions are 3' x 18"x 20". I had about 120 bucks in materials to build it. I probably could have bought one from walmart for less than that...

I'm thinking of placing an ad in the local Yellow Pages, but I'm not sure if it's worth it. Any thoughts on the subject? Anyone have any experience with phone book adds?

Here are some pics of my weekend project: I bolted a 10ft wide frame built out of lumber to my tractor bucket (the holes were in the bucket from the factory) and used it as a platform to lift 20ft and 16ft sheets of metal to the trusses which are 12ft high. and 4ft O/C. It worked out...

I have 2 male boxer dogs, I raised one from a puppy and he is an extreemly good dog. The other is a 2 yr old male boxer that I've had about a yr. He is agressive towards other animals. He has attacted my two goats and a couple neighbor dogs. He is okay around people for the most part, but is...

I bought a couple young goats to clean up a hillside that's been overtaken by weeds. I tried an invisible fence with shock collars on the goats, but it didn't work, and one of my boxers attacked the brown one:mad: I needed a place to put the goats where they would be safe so I put them in my dog...

I'm having problems with a "dry branch" creek that goes through my back yard. We got quite a bit of rain today and the small creek was gushing with water, it does this a few times a year during heavy rains. It washes ditches out of my yard, washes the gravel off the driveway and floods...

YouTube - Professional tractor driver in Kosova(Live From Rugova) This guy is nuts!!!

I've been playing with the draft control on my kioti while yard boxing. So far I've found it is GREAT for smoothing dirt and gravel! I set the top link in the middle hole on the tractor set the box level and the draft at about "6" (which is about in the middle on my tractor) and the position...

I just finished my 50 hr service on my dk40se gear drive. I didn't realize it took so much fluid! Ended up costing about $260ish, and that's doing it myself! Anyway I thought I'd check the hydraulic pressure while was at it. I hooked a guage to the remote hydraulic port and checked pressure, at...

I was just wondering if my kl401 FEL is self bleeding? I'm coming up on my 50 hr service and when I change the hydraulic fluid will I have to bleed the system? TIA

Well I have 21 hrs on my new dk40se now and I've decided that the woods is hard on tractors! I was clearing some trails and ran over something that put a small tear in my front (thankfully) tire. So I walked home and got the jeep, an air tank and some tire plugs. Went back and pluged the tire...

I bought a 6ft box blade from my neighbor for my new tractor. The problem is it dosen't seem to drop down very far. Both levers are all the way down and it only seems to go about level with the bottom of the back tires. I tried playing with the toplink adjustment which will tilt the blade at the...

Well I've put 5 hrs on my new tractor so far. It's been great! It has plenty of power and is a really nice tractor. I flipped the rear wheels around for more stability.......It may be hard to tell, but in the pic of the back the left rear wheel is hovering off the ground from the wieght of that...

I just wanted to get some oppinions for rear ballast on a DK40SE. Is there any need for extra rear wieght if I have fluid in the tires? If I've figured it correctly 75% rim guard in the tires should be around 1100-1200 lbs right? I don't have any impliments yet, and was just wondering how much...

I have read these threads for at least 2 yrs. now and just became a member on 12-31-08. This has been a very informative site! I've decided on a DK40SE Kioti with FEL and rimguard in the tires. I purchased it from Wallace tractor, it is scheduled for delivery tomorrow morning and I can't wait...

Ok we have new members, members, bronze members, silver, gold, platinum etc. So what do they go by for member status? I'm guessing the ammount of posts? Or is it by the ammount of time one has been a member? Just curious really not a big deal to me. It just got me wondering when I discovered I'm...

Ok I have a question for you who are way more knowlegable than me on this subject.............My neighbor has a ford 7000 with single rear remotes. He needs to run an attachment that requires dual remotes. What does he need to do to set this up? Can he somehow Tee into the feed line for the...

I have been trying to decide between these two tractors.....Locally there is a 2005 4220 branson with 170 hrs, ag tires, and FEL on it. good condition.for $14000.00............Or about an hr away a dealer has a 4720 demo with new warranty 22 hrs. ag tires and FEL for 18,900.00.........Does the...

I see that branson's web site says 0% interest for 72 mo. does anyone know which models this applies for?

I fired up my torch today and when I turned the oxygen tank on it blew oxygen out of the small hole on the regulator body. Scared the crap out of me! Thankfully I was not holding the burning torch in range of it! I wanted to see if any of you guys ever had this happen? I'm guessing it must have...

This may seem like a dumb question, but while researching tractors I've noticed some loaders have a breakout force that is basically double the lift capacity. While other loaders' rated lift capacity is only say 400 lbs shy of the breakout force. So is the rated lift capacity simply what the...

This question has prolly been asked before but I was wondering does anyone know why they rate tractors in horse power instead of torque? It seems like torque would be a more desirable rating than horse power since tractors are not designed to be raced.

I was wonering what some of you think about this. How big of a tractor would it take in a "pull off" to pull a full size 4x4 pickup truck with a posi rearend backwards? Say a 30 hp 4x4 tractor with ag tires wieghs around 3000 lbs, and a half ton pickup with swampers wieghs around 5-5500 lbs...

I am a new member on here and don't yet have a tractor. This site has been very helpful. I've been researching tractors in the 35-40 hp range. I have basically decided branson is the 1 for me. Here is my question......I have 2 dealers within an hour away. Dealer A is the closest and wants almost...
