Hello, After a long absence from this site, I have returned for some good advice. For personal reasons I had to sell every thing I had which was a Kioti DK45S, 6' mower, Loader, Pallet forks, box grader, angle blade and tire chains. So now Im in the market to start over and have run across a...

Changed oil in my tractor yesterday.....the threads in one of the drain plug holes stripped out. Bought an oversized drain plug and when installing that....the pan cracked. Has anybody replaced a pan on these tractors? Any info on the procedure would be greatly appreciated.

Any opinions or suggestions are welcomed. Price looks good. Hows the quality? I'm looking for one for next year. I surely don't need a commercial quality unit just for my own yard. $2999 for a zero turn sounded cheap to me. The Home Depot

I have a dumb question, but I would like to know or at least have an idea. We are hosting a picnic later today and plan on taking kids and adults on a hay wagon ride in the country here with the Kioti 45S. I was just wondering what would be the safe towing capacity. Never have really thought...

I'm submitting this post for someone else. They are working on a L3010 HST with about 500 hours. After 15 to 20 mins of mowing the tractor slowly dies to a idle and then quits. Let it set, maybe cooling down, and the tractor starts up and runs another few mins. Air filter has been checked. Fuel...

The quick attach setup on my 45S used to lock in the unlock position when the lever was moved over to that position. After locking the lever in the locked position it always stays locked. When the tractor was new the lever locked in both positions. I would think the lever should stay locked in...

I seen this Ford tractor last year at a tractor pull. It was used as a tow tractor. Last year I did not have my camera with me. This year I did. Soundguy filled me in last year about these tractors. I did not ask how much it was selling for. Neat looking tractor I think. My favorite picture is...

I have been digging out a bank behind the house. Hope to put a garage and parking area there. I have really been impressed with the 45S and KL451 loader. The tooth bar is a must when digging into this stuff. We call it yellow shale. Very hard, but if you dig straight into the bank and curl the...

My wife's aunt came over last night for dinner and just a social visit. She seen me hooking up the mower and asked if she could come along to watch. Well, I know back when she was younger she spent a good many hours mowing with a sickle bar mower and raking hay. I knew she was itching to try out...

I have an opportunity to take on more land. I'm sure I will need a larger tractor to handle additional tasks. Entertaining the idea of possibly round baling about 35 to 45 acres. I don't believe the 45S will handle a round baler. So my question is how much to ask for a 1 year old, 100 hour 45S...

I'm curious if anyone knows the weight of a 45S with R4's loaded in rear and KL451 loader with 72" bucket? I found the spec with AG tires and ROPS. Nothing on the loader or different tires. Reason I'm asking is because I'm trailer shopping now. Is 7K trailer to light? Move up to the 10Kor 12K...

I was wondering if anybody uses the Cosmo brand of fertilizer spreaders? Any info on the brand would greatly be appreciated. I'm looking at some of there fertilizer spreaders and was just wondering what other members think. Thanks in advance.

On the DK45S the standard size I guess is Cat.1 3pt hitch arms. At least mine is. Can you put Cat.2 size on? I tried to plow today, except I found out I needed Cat.2 ends. Any ideas?

I just installed a Linksys wireless router model # WRT54G. The home computer that it is attached to is a Windows XP SP2 system. My notebook is a Windows 2000 unit with a Belkin 802.11B card. I got the notebook to connect to the internet through the wireless router. I want to use the printer that...

Friday snowday turns into a paid vacation day. Seat time and family time in the snow. Then a little deer hunting in the afternoon. No luck on the deer though.

I have a older NH sickle bar mower and would like to add a hydraulic cylinder so I can raise and lower the blade assembly. Has anyone done this and if so it would really be helpful if they would post some pics. Any advice would also be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!

My father wants to sell his NH Backhoe. He has listed it in his local paper with no calls. Have thought about listing it on Ebay. I have sold items before on Ebay, but nothing this big. Any ideas or advice about where or how he should go about selling it. Any info would greatly be appreciated...

I have tried everything possible to get the loader off of my machine so I can get around while mowing and manuever in the woods dragging logs. Those pins will not move unless you beat on them. Up and down with the loader. Curled bucket forward and backwards. Moved tractor forward and backwards...

I borrowed my fathers NH sickle bar mower that has been setting around for about 10 years outside. Hooked it up and was unable to latch down the 2 handles that attach to the round bars. Not sure what they are called. Tried it out and noticed those round bars were making contact and scratching...

Need some advice. I would like to keep the weeds and grass down around the edges of my 2 fields and keep the weeds down on both sides of the driveway. I was thinking about a sickle bar mower for doing this. Would I need anything special to attach one to a new tractor? What should I look for and...

This may be a stupid question, but I thought I would ask anyway. I have always used off road diesel in all my tractors. Is off road diesel ok to use in the new tractor? Is there any additional maintenance that needs to be done if using off road fuel? Any additive that needs to be added if using...

My first new tractor finally arrived Friday night. First intial "bugs' set in very quick. The bolt that holds the pin down on the bucket was broke and the pin was already coming out. Now I know the bolts were not checked in the pre delivery. So I'm going to check them. Found the rear R4 tires...

Anybody know anything about the new DK45 S model? I seen a picture of one today and it looks sharp. The dealer quoted me a good price. Supposed to have one in next week to look at. Dealer told me they are changing over to the new sloped hood design on the DK40 as well. Any info, rumors on facts...

I got a price today on a 4720 with FEL at $18,500 from a dealer in Virginia. I know nothing about the Branson product. I just happened to be at the dealer for his open house for the Monatana products and spotted 2 Bransons. Tractor looks like it is built very well. Any info would be greatly...

Comparing 2 tractors. Farmtrac 360 with loader. Price 16,500 with ballast in tires, quick attach bucket and block heater. Dealer 10 miles away. Kioti DK35 with loader 17,400 with quick attach bucket and ballast in tires. Dealer 2 hrs away.

Found a 2003 L3830 with 1063 hours on it. Canopy and tooth bar. From the pictures the tires look like they are done. Price is $14,500. The tractor is HST. Price sound ok? Sounds a little high to me. Hours sound high as well. How does the HST hold up? Is there a big power loss with the HST?

I have a price quote on a new DK35 with loader for $17,400 and a DK40 with loader for $19,500. Sound fair?
