Ever blow an air line? What do you think happens?

If this is the case the truck should have been out of service!

Like I stated before, there is so many things we need to know before we can make an informed decision on everything. Glad to hear from someone else who doesn’t deal with the bull when training and sorry to hear that someone you decided DID NOT QUALIFY was able to have someplace else put him on...

I am not arguing the personal accountability but. I find the rest to be very important as well and if training and corporate greed played a part feel that they should be considered guilty as well. Not to mention the accountability of the politicians who let thier wallets and big donations cloud...

Been watching some of this here. Many different view points coming from different groups for different reasons. Myself 110 years seems excessive dependant on some things that we can’t answer from the information we have. For me to formulate an honest opinion I would need a lot more information...

Screw them, they can wait!

Look for sodium bicarbonate. You will find it is sold in much more bulk pakadgeing for industrial use. So no need to buy boxes and boxes of it. I have a 25 gallon tub of it in my shop for just in case. By the way sodium bicarbonate is simply the scientific name for baking soda. I can usually...

It’s kind of funny, how you can get several different explanations from different people at different levels.

Yes I was and sorry if I misread what you were trying to say. My next question is what did you do to have them make it right? Make them give you money back to cover the value? Force a return of the tractor due to breach of contract? They didn’t deliver the product as advertised or contracted for...

You purchased it anyway? No right to complain then! Had to replace cables on my JD, my NH and my last 2 Kubotas along with the batteries and some didn’t make the 3 year mark. So many think everything is only availiable from the dealer. I have purchased many things from other sources both to...

Just a different word to describe which type of plastic it actually is.

A dent in the metal can be hammered out with some basic tools in just a few minutes, so no need to live with it for long and no replacement cost for minor issues. My JD’s and every single one of my friends have cracked panels that are glued, taped, riveted together in some form and are...

My 67 might get ten but my 80’s and 90’s both average between 20 and 24 depending on the type of driving I do. If your getting that bad MPG find a new mechanic that can diagnose the problem and tune it properly!

I also don’t fit that profile and can say I love my Jeeps and to date they have proven the most reliable of anything else I ever owned long term. Lots of trouble free miles with very minimal repairs and cost of repairs always seemed very reasonable compared to other cars and trucks I’ve owned...

Nice tractor! Congrats!

Before being able to buy my own car, my dad would let me use his on select nights. Problem was he limited my travel by telling me I could only go so many miles in a night and if I were to go more, no more car! Fourtunately for me I realised the odometer didn’t work in reverse and we lived...

Here we go again! This is still the biggest misconception going! You will not make more on a percentage basis and never really have. When ever I do the math based on cost from new it seems the percentage works out even.

No mistake on your part at all! At this point in time the Branson would be my choice over the kubota Based on my experiance and what I have seen when looking at them I would choose the Branson over the Kubota and the decision would not be based on price!

I love the picture! I still have my two tone 67 sitting out back. It was a tank and served me well on road for years, then off road for fun, then snow plowing duties. It rusting apart now but still runs strong just need to replace the shift linkage. The old 3 on the tree always wears over the...

Actually I have owned most of my vehicles for very long periods of time. Modifications are a bit of a hobby to me and that 72 VW went from 72 to 96 as a slow moving stock bug. At that point in time I decided to stop building mostly off road stuff and do some modifications to my slow street car...

Did you understand “adhere to the limits of the machine” ? Also many of those cooked motors were due to so called mechanics who decided that some of the vital parts for temperature control were not needed after a rebuild. Many more were caused simply by drivers who could not understand normal...

Very amusing to me! Having towed accross the country with an air cooled beetle many years ago and no issue what so ever with overheating. Some people just don’t know how to adhere to the limits of thier equipment.

In today’s world reports don’t follow the same rules of yesteryear. They make up things and then say that So and so said! If your looking for facts from a newspaper you need to go to the library and read some very old newspapers.

I have to say I see no real advantage in making this switch.

Small differences? Comparing my payment on the last financed Truck I purchased to those I knew and others I met back then the difference was staggering! We are talking thousands not hundreds.

Glad to hear your not one of the suckers as he describes them! But if you read your other post it could be misunderstood easily. By the way the biggest difference I ever caved at was was $1.58 from what I intended to pay and have walked away at 2 dollar differences also.

My observations and experiance your approach is why so many pay too much for things. I don’t know one person that’s gotten a good deal with this type of thinking. My brother in law who was a car salesman is here and when I read your post to him, his reaction was “ a salesman’s dream” “ wish All...

This is funny to me as my family members have had similar issues with new JD tractors and had to fight to get them fixed in a timely manner. It turned out the shops mechanics were not up to the task at hand and had to have a specialist flown out to diagnose and fix but it was worse than pulling...

It is but when talking tractors you are most likely talking about the same number + or -

I have had dealers tell me the cash and credit price is the same while other dealers gave me a different price for cash? Kind of proves there is a difference someplace. You speak about prices for kubota being jacked up but my experiance is unless your looking at the cheapest model, JD seems...

Sorry but no one has shown me that it’s a true 0 % offer to date. I have proven to myself that the same price cash or credit is false simply by shopping around but no matter how I slice it they have to have thier profit built into the machine sale somehow. You won’t be able to stay in buisness...

About 25 min. I would like to point out that after choosing what I was going to buy that I then proceeded to shop different dealers for the best price and deal on that model. So my local dealer had to earn that buisness based on price compared along with other factors. Things like did he and...

I am not brand loyal and honestly if I were to buy a new tractor next week it might be a different brand. With that said right now I don’t for sure what brand I would bring home not sure if Kioti makes the best for my needs right now. If they did then that would be what I brought home but it...

What do you really think that someone who walks into the dealership with a handful of cash and drops it on the salesman’s desk would not be able to do the same at the deere or kubota dealership? Just because you are forced to make all your decisions based on your lack of funds does not mean...

Please bring you tractor over and show me how you determine I have a lesser machine? Again just more bull crap spoon fed to the unknowing easily manipulated mind! By the way you also don’t carry more value! You pay up front a higher cost and sell for about the same percentage less than someone...

With the things we see people doing, accepting, not paying attention to and believing in today’s society, Do you really need to ask?

Half of the reason that some of the other brands can’t break more firmly into the market is due to the naysayers who just repeat over and over again the same garbage they have been spoon fed for years. My favorite is when the uneducated say things like they didn’t see the quality as being the...

Take decent care of it and when it comes time to sell it tell those who try to lowball you to keep walking! Price it fairly in the same percentage of the JD, Kubota for sale and you will find that you won’t loose anymore on it than them at time of sale. When I buy cheep and try to sell at a...

How about some examples from you wide range of experiance?

That’s what I am saying.

But if I have to add wieght to every tractor to get the best ballast, then kubota is still the underdog and to even attempt to get it close to the other it will cost more in ballast. Secondly your statement about quality is highly subjective and in question from many like me who have owned many...

So if my needs dictate a 40 hp tractor to achieve my PTO needs then to get what I need in wieght for my other tasks I need to buy a 60 HP kubota to achieve my needs in whieght? Looking at the overall use of a tractor I would say baseline HP is the best place to start and not having to pay more...

There is a lot If illusion in many things people are believing these days. Funny I was listening to this today on the highway just befor parking the truck for the day. Haven’t heard it for many years.

I don’t think you have this correct! Some small bits of fabrication were most likely the only thing that were manufactured here and the rest was built and shipped here only to be assembled here at least that was my take when talking with them at the plant several years back.

Considering they are the only one I was ever broken down on a test drive, I would have to say Everyone else makes a better tractor than them.

The truck in the pick is an older Dakota, I would be more inclined to guess a combination of rust and years of abuse before I blamed cheep manufacturing.

Yes and a I 6 cyl

You know just about every year I hear someone say this and every time I go test drive the new car/ truck they brag about. Result is every year I come home from that test drive totally disapointed.

Seems to me when you put a driver in an automatic truck they stop paying attention to things and become easily distracted, find time to play with thier phone, try to eat and do other things they never did before. Then we wonder why the quality of truck drivers has diminished to the point of No...

Never let them load without giving them direction. If the person doesn’t want to listen don’t pay till they get in and shovel it where you wanted it. I almost always direct to the loader how to load, with the only exceptions really being those who I have dealt with for so long that I can trust...

It’s scary when you think about some of the things we see out there.

The texting doesn’t seem to be an issue with the elderly but it also doesn’t seem to be an issue with the young. Most of the texters I see being in a Class A truck you can see a lot more going on are middle aged. Many of the young seem to be on hands free things but there are a few, they seem to...

Why not both? That’s simple the young don’t seem to be doing anything that I consider dangerous compared to the elderly. I am not talking about someone driving slow to be safe. I am talking about cutting out in front of me past the point where a stop can be performed without putting myself in an...

I don’t seem to have issue with the young doing much more around me than thier parents do on a regular basis. The elderly however are a constant danger and it seems I can’t make it one day without one of them pulling some stupid move around me no matter what I am driving.

That line of attachments is also overpriced. Which is why so many look at me and say, “I don’t understand how you can afford all those attachments”

If I spend 20,000 and sell for 18,800 If I spend 30,000 and sell for 28,200 Do I say one has a higher resale value or is it a perceived value? Which one actually cost me more to own?

So far I have been lucky and only had more minor or shall we say straight forward problems during the warrantee. All dealers and brands were about even in dealing with when compared. When the part gets here we will fix it and they all did likkity split. I haven’t had to deal with Kioti during...

Don’t want me to consider you a fool? It’s simple don’t come here when I am selling something, believe every word I say, part with your money without figuring the true market value and offering closer to it and worst off be set on only one brand because historically they are the ones I treat as...

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, But it doesn’t get any better with time for most!

He is most likely still under the illusion that we all pay asking price for the kubota and JD. I love that type when I sell something it’s especially profitable in the Harley arena, more fools willing to hand me big profits based on adds they see and not knowing I picked it up two weeks ago for...

Keep saying it maybe someone will still fall for it.

Ditto! Same here, owned both and prefer the Kioti! Also didn’t like the treddle pedal, and definately didn’t see any higher reasale value compared on a percentage of original cost to other brands that I have owned and sold. So as stated before buy what you like and don’t get sucked up in all...

How much off? My answer would be how much more is he willing to pay, its my time to take things apart and sell them separately so I would add a thousand to the price.

So after years of living with it we were still using it wrong? You do realise there are only so many ways you can place your feet before one establishes they don’t like it! For the OP Kioti has been a very good tractor for me. All brands seem to be good these days so buy the one that fits...

I don’t think you would have any trouble selling any of the current brands of tractors on the market today.

If your looking for an excuse to buy a tractor so you have it when you move to your next property and try to make it pay for itself a little before hand. Then by all means get one but understand there will most likely still be rental time for other equipment if building homes commercially...

This is what I was thinking might be the solution. It does not make sense that the wheels need to be taken off to mount or dismount the backhoe.

I think there are a few here that would like to see some pics of your backhoe attachment points. Something just doesn’t sound right as almost all the backhoe mounting systems we have seen on tractors for about the last 8 years from most brands have been very easy to attach and detach. None in my...

Haven’t heard these issues from others? Seems to me if this was the case with all the Kioti tractors that we would have heard lots of similar complaints. Kind of makes me wonder why so many Kioti owners keep recommending them because we haven’t had any issues worth noting. By the way HT what?

I wa I was curious and just watched a video of someone removing and re installing a backhoe on a 1025. He didn’t seem to have any issues and definately had no need to remove the tires. Makes me wonder exactly what issues your having and why?

Actually if they can’t source the part to fix my already purchased and paid for car, truck, boat, plane, tractor or motorcycle. YES I want them to take it off thier inventory and make me hole. I have actually had dealerships take parts right off other cars on thier lots years ago to get me...

I looked at them a few years back. They looked nice but when it came time for a test drive, it went into a limp mode of some sort and that got me to look real close at the wireing and computer. That gave me the impression that just like today’s cars you will be looking at having to deal with...

Why do you think my little JD stays in the garage? It can’t pull a full box blade of material up the driveway please note the driveway is a long one like you describe. It was lackluster at best for plowing and did a great job at getting stuck when it got deep and you needed to push the snow back...

You don’t seem to want to listen and understand, most here are giving you advice from both thier own and thier friend, family and aquaitences experiance. My little JD stays parked 99% of the time and only gets any real run time around Halloween doing short hay rides for the kids in the family or...

It’s not so much a point of failing but rather the learning curve many have gone threw. Many I know have watched thier small tractor after years of pushing it to complete larger tasks show excessive wear, they start to realize that 3 hours to complete a task that others complete in 1 creates...

Mine just did and asked how does she disconnect it, after thinking about it and realizing she never had to bring me anything on the other tractors.

Really!

Immunity for the cops is a problem and so is the protections polaticians have granted themselves. They also knowingly make stupid decisions and never seem to have to pay the price.

I just don’t want to be stuck paying the factory for most of the unessasary crap I see posted in this thread. Simplicity is what I want, so other than things that are best done by the factory like extendable 3 point links, quick attach, extra remotes power steering, the rest I will simply add...

Unsure at what point of the conversation you are at but I am talking about the mounting and dismounting of a backhoe that comes with today’s tracktors at purchase time. Most these days are very easy to put on or take off and some brands have designed them so you don’t even have to remove the 3...

Yep my wife treated some paper with a couple different things from around the house and sure enough she got the desired reaction from the pen. Ever since I just about bust out laughing when they use one to check my payment knowing full well how useless they are.

I have seen a lot of campers with broken springs. Kind of makes me wonder if they are trying extra hard to cut into production costs and making people unsafe while doing it. My old camper had a lot more spring than any I have seen in the last maybe 10 years.

Most of the backhoe attachments for tractors today are very easy and quick to mount and dismount. Maybe asking for the dealership to demonstrate or show you how one goes on and off before buying would make you a little more at ease with the idea. On my Kioti I can mount and dismount the hoe in...

Not trying to argue but I must disagree. I cut my field once without the loader on and definately felt the difference. At the same average speed my back and gut hurt for 2 days afterwards. Never had that before or sense. So as far as your guarantee, it isn’t worth a thing to me as I can...

None of my tractors ride smoother with the loader off. Seems the extra wieght helps balance things out.

Something others have not mentioned is vision. I notice that many people actually will entertain more thought about change and improvements when they have a backhoe on hand as opposed to answering thier wife with that’s out of our range and doing it would be a hassle! Many of the things we have...

Apparently you never used a small bucket on a backhoe to dig out For a mailbox. A half hour? Took him about 2 min. Not kidding!

Garage ornaments? I honestly don’t know anyone who buys attachments they don’t use. Most take the time to investigate and learn what things they need to do the tasks they want accomplished. There are a few who get misled and end up with something they decide wasn’t the best for the job, like a...

If your happy with your current tractor and it fits your needs on the new property would it not be better to just have it transported to the new property?

But you can’t use it at will if it isn’t already at your place. Most of the jobs I get offered lately are those the owner thought they could rent something for, but rain, work and no rental available were problems that they encountered. Owning and having ready at your disposal is also much more...

I can’t speak for everyone or everyplace, but it seems that tractors with backhoes sell quicker than those without. Myself, I won’t even entertain the thought of buying one without when it comes to a utility size down to a compact. Most people I know would also opt for having the hoe over not...

I didn’t look close to see if it was phot shopped or not, but have actually see one back flipped like that when I was a youngster out in the strip mines behind the town I grew up in.

Who built it?

You should watch some of those seeking a CDL as they drive thier car to the school site. It’s easy to tell which ones should never be in a truck. Followed one in the other day that was on his cell texting for at least a ten mile stretch before the exit. Couldn’t keep his car in his own lane and...

I see it all the time, bad driver in a big truck thinks they can bully everyone and anyone into hitting the brakes for them. The same drivers cut out in front of people at intersections on a regular basis without waiting for a reasonable distance between oncoming traffic. As was said before...

The backhoes main purpose is digging. Just because someone doesn’t know how to use it, does not change that. By the time you get your excavator out here I would already have finished the digging and be on my way.

Sorry for those who got scammed and thanks to those who have posted letting others know it’s a scam.

Well it appears I again misread a post by you! Guess In my old age I need to slow down and take a breath before going off half cocked!

So then tell me my experiance? Also what makes you think I should pay for your lessons? Buy your own ticket! I was polite last time because in a bad mood I did jump the gun and word something improperly but I assure you your clue didn’t impress me as much as you think it did.

Not sure who you think your talking to but if you think I have no experiance, maybe you should swing by and we can take a few cars and do some experiments.

This makes me laugh! Emissions have cost us fuel mileage since day one. No direct comparrison for tractors but every car, truck and motorcycle I own with emissions has given less mpg than a similar vehicle before.

Glad you found something you like. Enjoy!

Go look at the Branson. If you like it buy it! I looked at them and liked them a lot a little over a year ago with a guy who lives local. He purchased and has been very pleased with it. No issues and he works it hard.

I saw your updated description of things after posting and while I understand I question if maybe it wouldn’t be best to modify the trail somehow rather than putting your focus all in one direction.

No matter the trailer you will encounter off tracking as you turn. This will mean you will have to pay attention to the path the trailer will take no matter the width you choose. My suggestion would be to find the trailer closest to your needs and learn to pay attention to your driving and all...

I should have never said a word. Today while the nephew was running it she sputtered and shut down. Fortunately it wasn’t a big deal it seems the carb finally got some crap in it and flooded it while he was cutting in a pretty bouncy area. About an hour to clean everything up and get it fired...

Apparently we are not both exactly on the same page, some differences in what we are perceiving as the normal work load vs what a particular tune/modification can produce when pushed to the max. That truck went more years and miles with the engine mods than it did stock! It spent most of its...

Well my old truck was deleted and made a bit over 570 HP, before that I would have agreed with your sentiment. That truck simply put changed my mind on what the extra HP and torque was good for besides manhood compensation. Yes I pulled some serious wieght with stock before that but until you...

I would question the person who did the delete and most likely didn’t know what they were doing with the tuning. As I said many purchased a system and installed it. Did no real tuning, ignored the advice of real tuners, then preached how great it was and how much power and MPG they were getting...

Are you saying that we don’t know how to figure out MPG? That’s a big leap especially considering that many of us use our trucks for work and need to know our actual costs for many reasons. I do however know there are some who haven’t a clue, also know there were some devices that didn’t do...

Only a 4 MPG improvement? The last delete I saw installed took the truck from an average of 16 MPG right to 26 MPG ! That particular tuning device had I think 4 different settings and if memory serves his towing MPG was also in the low twenties. I am having a hard time understanding how...

Questions have been cleared in my mind, simply you got the lemon! Please don’t be insulted with me questioning due to a statement like that. If you really do fix most things then you surely understood my viewpoint and have seen the shoddy work from others ranging from the back yard mechanic...

Wow! I purchased a husqvarna with a 54 inch deck probably about 10 years ago and other than having to fix a small linkage problem with the choke which took about 20 min, one of the spindals went south and needed replaced. It is going to need its 3 rd battery but that’s my fault for not keeping...

Took me all of 30 seconds to determine I didn’t like it and after years of owning it it never got any better! Relief came with the sale and replacement with tractors that have dual pedals. I recomend if your not comfortable with it during the test run skip it and run away it won’t get any...

Thanks for tha laugh! I needed that today.

Honestlily if you could get 2 more ponies to the ground you would be able to find the difference when doing the more repetitive tasks with your tractor. The question of who or how many could feel or tell the difference would depend more on the things discussed or implied. As they call it in the...

OK 500.oo to have it delivered 75.00 loading fee I will take that off my offer of .25 cents Which leaves you owing me 574.75 Can be there in a few hours have cash ready! Carefull about not being insulted, some of us are pretty darn cheep. I’m retired and started a part time job just to have...

As long as the torque is increased along with the HP and the operator is running the same property with the same loads You definately would be able to feel, see and define a difference. Heck test a mower with a 16 hp motor, then back to back it with a 18 hp motor with the same deck and you will...

Agreed and they would be loosing the contract anyway. Not acceptable buisness practice, would be easy to cancel contract on more than one term found in most contracts I have seen.

They would have charged that outrageous sum to clean the brakes even if you paid what they had listed on the sticker. Some want to screw you both coming and going and only fold when they know you won’t be a victim.

Not my experiance with them? My experiance with Amazon is cheep junk, you have to wait for a set amount of time before being allowed to ask for a refund when your product doesn’t show and the hole time your at a stand still waiting on it. Product you can’t touch and feel to even get a clue if...

Many dealerships offer a mobile service for customers. So it isn’t unheard of

That would be the dealer to avoid! Any dealership worth thier salt would at least attemp to work with the potential customer. Myself knowing that for most repair under warrantee would be a low risk compared with the potential of selling normal maintenance items, return buisness and the...

I can say that I have been very pleased with my Kioti and havent had any issues to report since purchasing my Kioti in 2014.

Glad you found a tractor and hopefully this experiance was better. Enjoy your new machine and don’t forget to send pictures to the other dealership with your thank you note, for showing you how a customer should not be treated!

If the salespeople would actually get into pouncing each other in the face over the price they offer me, I will tip the winner a hundred bucks as long as he saved me more than that! Sorry but I just don’t care, stop sharing the information with the other sales people or let me enjoy the fireworks!

Read codychap’s post. It’s clearly not a customer oriented system! My cash or credit purchase doesn’t want to or need to be dictated by someone else! I shop, price and buy from who ever I want! Even if it means I shop out of thier suggested area weather it be a sister store or not They do not...

Your all missing the part about the price increase that he mentioned! That changes everything and they should have expected him to look at it from any and every angle including visiting an other shop be it a sister store or not. A bit of restraint on thier part, and a closer look and they may...

Maybe a long lost older relative or something. Seriously my description isn’t all about me so much as the basic experiance of many people I have known or met over the years. It’s not uncommon to have those experiences but many don’t even recognize them as a bad experiance as they are blinded by...

PS If you still want a Deere, have a friend go shopping with you and use thier name for price quote 1, your name for #2, your wife’s maiden name for price #3 and so on. Or do as I do and say You will get more than my first name when we come to an agreement on what I want. If you can’t price it...

One poster says price difference for cash is different for finance? Isn’t it JD who try to force the Idea of its the same price cash or credit? :rolleyes: I tend to agree it most likely wasn’t the rep but someone at one of the dealerships calling you. Attempting a pressure deal to get you to...

I would think the drivers needs classified as a CDL driver with a bus endorsement. Could put the insurance company and the driver in a legal bind. No CDL, inadequate equipment for the task at hand. Please stand by for the lawsuit when the truckers insurance is drained and there are still...

Price sound a bit high to me but I would at least have one and a multiplier. If they put the cost of the second remote back in line I would buy it but at that cost I would tell them they simply want too much. Having multiple remotes is always a plus if you sell it, get a good deal on say a...

I would say that is a matter of opinion, I find both types to be easy overall but actually think the Kioti is slightly quicker meaning easier compared! As far as room it takes up, why would anyone leave it up in the air? I lower it to the ground turn the hoe to one side and park right over it.

This is my experiance! To date I have been told “it’s the same price cash or 0% finance” more than I can count but to date when push came to shove and I laughed as I walked out, the phone call a few days later always confirmed what I suspected all along. You pay cash the same as zero you have...

The last one I purchased I didn’t really look at price, cash or finance until after I decided on the tractor. When all was done I settled on Kioti. Then I looked at price and if it was best to pay cash or finance it. At the time the cash incentives were real good so I paid cash. I honestly...

I am a little disappointed in myself as I was at a friends place for a few minuets last night and looked at his JD and honestly didn’t think the hoe on his stuck out less than an inch or two compared to mine but did notice it appeared his was actually closer to the ground than mine...

Wow! 12 to 15 minutes? Honestly the only way it would take that long for me is if I went back into the house and made a second cup of coffee. I am not being sarcastic or trying to be funny but for me it’s most likely less than 3 minutes off or on.

Honestly I haven’t measured and can’t state for fact the difference. I can hovever clearly state that I have not had an issue. If I get an opportunity to make a comparrison between a friends and mine I will report back to you what I find.

I like the idea of adding red dye, to teach a lesson

Eyeballing some tractors and might get serious about buying. So I was wondering about what the average going price might be for a 5220 or 5220 c these days?

That is funny! Only because I know exactly what you are talking about. Sadly if you take half of the good applications and set the applicant in a room by themselves you would be surprised at how many of those applicants clearly needed someone else to fill out the application for them.

We recently purchased a used 2012 Ram2500 6.7 Standard cab for some of our light duty towing work. Problem is the wife likes the truck a lot and wants to drive it more but has a problem getting in and out. So I was thinking about installing a set of nerf bars or side steps on it to make things a...

One of my friends and I have both been considering getting a cab tractor recently. We have looked at Some LS, Kioti and Kubota tractors so far and swung by a Yanmar dealer today but were a little late as they were just closing the doors as we got out of the truck. We took a quick look at the...

Sitting here talking about new cab tractors with a friend. When I was last shopping we found some variance between what was listed for cab and rops height online and in the literature compared to the actual measured height of the tractors we looked at. He and I both are interested in looking at...

Does anyone have any experience with the ATI preseeder I have been offered what seems like a good deal on a model 725 but don't know much about the company or how good their products are. Any help would be appreciated.

Thinking about a new power rake. Wondering what brand folks would recommend ?

I am planning on purchasing a new snow blower for my DK40 and since I will be selling my old tracktor and snow blower I was wondering what a 60" Buhler 4 blade 2 stage in very good condition would be worth. This snow blower never saw any salt and was used only in my driveway. The only real...

Hi everyone My name is Janet. My husband has been on here for a little while searching for a new tractor. I have read some of his posts and the replies to them and wanted to thank everyone for helping with their experience and advise. As you know we have purchased a Kioti DK40 and are very...

I am currently looking at anew snow blower for my new Kioti DK40 tractor. Not sure about going with a 72" or a 84" so I was hopeing to hear other owners opinions that may have used those size blowers in the rear mount push set up.

As I sit here looking over the New DK40 on day two I realized just how small and dinky my current snow blower is and am now faced with the problem of selling it and buying a new and wider one with a hydraulic activated chute. Any one know of any good offers on where to get a decent price on a 7...
