Kioti KB2385
Several years ago, I took my backhoe bucket to my dealer and left it with him for a couple months to replace the teeth. Eventually I couldn't wait any longer and went to see him. He had used a cutting torch to remove one of the teeth, but said he could not get replacement teeth...
Thanks to all the TBN members who posted information about the Massey sub compacts. We took delivery of a new GC1705, and I was wondering how much ballast do I need for the loader.
We have a KB2385 with another serious metal problem. Maybe abuse, or maybe just metal fatigue. The machine shop said they would weld the breaks and add additonal metal support.
Has anyone had any similar metal problems with the Woods backhoe?

The crack was right below the angle brace bolt. Picture attached.

Your are so right. Those bolts keep coming loose, but I think the operator (me) is to blame for the crack. On multiple occasions I would start digging with the boom and dipper stick fully extended. I'm...
DK45/50 backhoe subframe. I guess the hydraulics are stronger than the steel.
The local machine shop came to the rescue again. They welded the crack area and added reinforcement plates to both sides in less than an hour.
Kioti 2385 boom cylinder. I guess I pressed the relief valve one too many times while removing stumps. The boom cylinder is easy to remove and replace. $25 weld at a local machine shop, and back in business.
Hi Nathan;
I've been reading your posts, and I'm very impressed with all that you and your family do for the non profit organizations and the less fortunate families in Libson, and I've got a couple of comments and questions.
a) From your posts, it sounds like you and your family have felled...
Dear Coyote Machine;
After reading some of the recent non technical exchanges in this forum, I thought I would give you a little feedback.
I read TractorByNet's Kioti Owning/Operating forum almost every day. I've probably read most, if not all, of your contributions in this forum. Many are...
My dealer damaged the front tires on my 2007 DK45S (long story). I sent a couple messages to Kioti, and he is now offering to replace them with the rear rims and tires from a CK20. He claims they are identical.
Does anyone know if the rear rims and tires from a CK20 are identical to those on...
The first day using my new 2007 DK45S with KL451 (FEL), I heard a snapping sound coming from what I thought was twigs cracking under the front tires. After hearing it a few times, I got off the tractor to investigate. It wasn't twigs. On sharp turns, the front tires are being cut by the KL451...
Thanks to everyone who contributes here. In particular, thanks to Barj, Wallace, FastPat, IslandTractor, Highbeam, Depratt_equip, and Oleozz. The information and assistance provided by the contributors was a major factor in the decision to go Kioti.
