Posting this for my father-in-law, so some terminology my be a bit off. He has a 755b that sat for quite some time and he decided he needed it again for some dirt work. Unknown to him at the time there was a fair amount of water in the hydraulic sump and when he got it running he cycled through...

Fairly new to my DK45C and after a very long and hard weekend of really putting it to work I was loading it into the shipping container I store it in and forgot the cab door was open. Luckily the glass did not shatter but the door is tweaked and hard to shut. When it made contact with the...

Since my new-to-me 2006 DK45S had 397 hours on the clock I decided this nice sunny 3 day weekend was a perfect time to perform the big 400 hour maintenance on my tractor. Since I am new to Kioti's and I got the tractor with 372 hours, I had never done hydraulic fluid/filter, oil/filter, gas...

I finally got around to installing my new grapple and rear remote hydraulic lines today. I had a fairly large tree that died and fell on the fence line so I thought that would be a good test of the new grapple. The tree was heavy - but I would say it was well within my lifting capacity. I was...

I have a Kioti DK45C and am trying to install a set of hydraulic cables from the rear remotes to the front of the loader for by new grapple. The bulkhead I got had two holes drilled in the mounting plate that line up perfectly with a square black box that has other hydraulic lines connected to...

I have a 2006 DK45S with a KL451 loader that has a skid steer type quick connect/disconnect plate to hook up attachments to. I just got the tractor (used) and have used the bucket that was on it when I bought it with no issues. Just bought a grapple and pallet forks for it and went to swap out...

Got my new Titan grapple in and now I need to order two hydraulic hoses to run from the rear remotes to the grapple on my 2006 DK45S. I measured the distance needed with a garden hose so I could route it as I will the hydraulic hoses and then measure how long I need. I do have a few questions...

My new to me 2006 DK45S has 383 hours on it and works fine in low and medium ranges. However, when I shift to High range and slowly let off the clutch it shudders and bucks so bad I have to slam the clutch pedal back down. If I let the clutch out super slow it will engage correctly. Is this a...

I noticed there are two rectangular air intake/vents right above the front windshield and under the lip of the cab roof. I "assume" this is for the air conditioner and heater. There are remnants of some sort of thin green sponge filter that has mostly deteriorated under the covers. Not the end...

Just had my new-to-me DK45S delivered last Saturday and gave it a heck of a workout bringing down an old barn. I needed to hook my trailer to it and I like to use the 3 point hitch with a drawbar attached to connect. When I got the tractor, both the position and draft controls were pulled all...

I did search... For hours... Most recommended lightweight grapple manufacturers seem to have gone out of business since those posts (Gator et al). I did find most say a lightweight grapple works fine for general work. I just need one to pick up the occasional downed tree and transfer brush to...

I have been soaking up info like crazy over the past few days. I just bought a used 2006 DK45S with 373 hours on the clock that will be delivered this weekend - so I thought this would be a great time to change all the fluids since I do not know the previous service record. Oil is pretty...

I am not new to tractors, but new to the Kioti brand. Previous tractors for my 42 acres have been old Ford 8Ns and a Ford Jubilee. Got to the point I needed a more beefy tractor and after many months of research decided on the Kioti brand due to costs vs. features and owner feedback. Not worried...
