My DK-35 has 150 hours on it and it seems to be pretty loud when it starts for the first few seconds, and then it quiets down. Is this the nature of the beast, or something else? I'm talking when it has sat overnight in the barn- (currently unheated), or when its sat outside for some time to the...

I have an 038 from 1986 that is run VERY infrequently. When I start it it runs and will hold an idle too. When I cut Ash and other trees it does not seem to be giving the chain enough oil. When I need it to cut fast it often slows or bogs down, and I have to pull it from the cut and run it fast...

I've read the owner's manual for my Kioti DK35se/hst and the book says: API rating CC or CD?! I cannot find any diesel oil that says it meets those spec letters; there are higher letters in the alphabet but I don't know how the companies/API determines their rating system lettering. My main...

My dealer just informed me, according to him, there are no neutral safety switches installed on Kioti's line of tractors?! Is this true, and if so why would that be the case? Don't all tractor/lawnmower/ ridemower, etc. companies install NSS's on their equipment? Thanks for any enlightenment on...

I have seen that TBN members have bought several brands of backhoe thumbs, in the past. I would like to know if anyone has a thumb on the same model backhoe as mine: KB-2485 on a DK 35se/hst? If so, what brand, model, cost etc. From what I've seen so far, there is Wallenstein, Rankin and...

I was surprised to find my new DK35se/hst KIOTI with fel model KL351 was not interested in lifting a bunch of sheets of 4x8x1/2" plywood above where I could just move it from one location to another. It only got the pile of 30-35 sheets a few inches off the ground. I figured I could get them up...

I have an offer from my builder to buy his son's used 250-275 gallon (above ground) gas tank. It has a metered 120v electric pump already installed. Any suggestions as to what to do to insure safe use of it with off road diesel for my new tractor? I do plan on putting in an inline filter- would...

I have a brand new tractor and need to buy 100 gallon minimum to have my oil supplier deliver to my barn. My thinking is to use two clean barrels to store off road diesel and buy a 12 volt pump with filter to deliver fuel to my tractor. Does the barrel's bung fit the same size pump as a...

Hello all, Just put about 23 or so hours on my first tractor! It is a new Kioti DK 35se/hst with fel, a KL351 loader and a KB 2485 backhoe. I'm having a woods skidsteer/pallet fork(s) tool and a box blade/scraper delivered soon as they are cleaned and painted up by my local dealer. My first...
