    Back Hoe bucket size

    I just called my Kioti dealer and he says the smallest bucket for my back hoe is 12 inches wide. I need to dig some trenches and think a much narrower bucket might work better, say a 8-9 inch one. Any of you using a small bucket like that?

    DK45S 4 wheel drive problem

    My electric four wheel drive actuation isn't working. The tractor is at the dealer for the repair now, it's obviously under warranty, but I was wondering about the frequency of this problem. Or is it unusual? Oh yes, the tractor has just over 60 hours on it.

    Chipper  WC-6 PTO Chipper arrived

    I picked it up yesterday and my brother and I spent the next 5 hours assembling it. Here's the pics so far. In the freight terminal. The supervisor got on the forklift and set it in my pickup. Picking up the unit from the terminal saved me nearly $200.00 shipping charges over delivering it...

    I just picked up the "Bigfoot" stabilizer pads the other day, and put them on this morning. Here's a few pics. This is what you get, one to a box complete with 6 10mm bolts, 6 flat washers, 6 lock washers, and 6 self locking nuts. They don't want these to come loose. Installed, from the...

    Hydraulic connections question

    I just had my DK45S returned with the 2385 backhoe installed, and am curious about one aspect of the BH. The dealer connected the hydraulic feed and return lines to the two rear connectors on the rear of the tractor. My question is, is full hydraulic pressure available through those outlets...

    Backhoe  Articulating backhoe bucket???

    An acquaintance of mine owns a farm, and talks about an articulating backhoe bucket which makes digging ditches along driveways and other off center digging much easier. I searched the archives with no luck, anyone have one or know of a manufacturer?

    Looking for cover...

    Now that my 45S is home, I'd like to buy a cover that protects the seat and cockpit area, anyone know of one that would fit this tractor, or come close? There was only one reference in the Archives, to fit a Kubota model B, which is much smaller I think.

    Finished the Deal on DK45s

    Just finished the deal on a new DK45s today, just waiting on the 2385 backhoe to arrive and be mounted. I thought long and hard about a cab model, and I suppose on a hot August afternoon I'll wish I had one, but I don't operate a tractor for a living, but did need a backhoe for a wide variety...

    Finished the Installation of the Cargo Box

    MY Outlander 800 has a good rear luggage rack, but I need the ability to carry a few items around the farm for work. In this case, 5 gals. fuel, chain oil, 50 foot logging chain, two chain saws, and a Peevy. Worked well for that. I'm looking forward to using this machine a lot. Took it...

    I bought this from Leed Engineering, receiving it last Saturday. It's very well made, and works as advertised. They make them for a lot of different ATV's.

    While I've ridden motorcycles, both on and off road for years; this ATV thing is new to me. I bought a new Bombardier Outlander 800 Max XT which I will pick up on Tuesday. I've already ordered a 2 inch receiver hitch for it, so that I can tow various utility trailers and other attachments as...

    DK55C and DK65C

    I have a Kioti dealer less than 4 miles from my house, and thought I'd get a price on these two models from him. In addition to the tractor I want a FEL, rear mower, box blade. I'd also like to know if the backhoe can be used on a cab model? Anyone with ballpark figures?

    Comparo of 4x20 and 5x25...images dialups beware

    A comparison, first is me on a 4320 and then D.'s 4720 and 5525. Added: 4720 with cab: Man, D., that 5525 is a rather healthy tractor, and that HX-15 is one big mower.

    Took a look at the 4020 series today...

    To see what the actual machine looks and feels like: I'm 6'1" and about 240lbs. to give perspective. This is a nice size, compact yet no feel of being a lawn tractor. There was a 3020 series to view, but it's clearly much smaller. With the slope of the terrain on our land, I don't think...

    Deutz-Fahr Agroplus 85

    I've looked at this tractor as a possibility and thought I'd share some photos in this forum. Note, I've posted additional photos in the Branson, Zetor photo folder. I think it may be rather large for my use, at a 92 inch wheelbase. That's shorter, by three inches, than a S-10 Chevy Blazer...
