    New kioti owner

    I just bought a 2007 Kioti DK65S, cab (1500hrs). I took a chance buying this from a dealer online and it arrived on Tuesday. So far, it is everything they said it was. I am pretty impressed how clean it is and how air tight the cab seems to be. The loader has a bigger lifting capacity than my...

    Any info on this dealer?

    I believe I found the tractor I would like to go with but before I give them any info on myself and any money down, I just wanted to double check here. Beggs Equipment in Arkansas.

    Kioti DK65S question

    I found a Kioti dk65S (Perkins 3.3L 3cyc) and I am not familiar with these tractors but read that they are a decent tractor. The sound the tractor makes, seems to be a bit different than what I am use to (ford, same, LS). I watched a few videos of other Kioti tractors and it sounds similar to...

    Thoughts on 4 different tractors?

    So I've changed up my search a bit after some chats with the wife to free up some funds for other needs around the farm. I will now just basically be using the tractor to move round bales through some clay mud (during spring, fall and winter). Push quite a bit of snow when the time comes and the...

    Cold weather starting

    What is everyone using for their cold weather starts? I have 1 magnetic heater but I'm thinking of getting a second one for my tractor this winter. It does have a glow plug (which I replaced 2 or 3 years ago) and it doesn't seem to work that great when its really cold out (10F or less). This is...

    Any feedback on a Ford 8240A?

    Help me spend some money

    I started a thread yesterday for advice on 2 tractors but I'm not actually sure now that those will be heavy enough so I will start over with my searching and I could use some help. I am looking for something heavier than my current Farmtrac 785DTC (loaded rears). I need to be able to push old...

    Kubota M5-111D or TYM 1054?

    I'm looking to purchase a bigger tractor for our boarding stables. It'll be mostly used for snow removal, manure clean up (huge piles of old hay in the pasture), dirt moving and basically that is it. The reason I am looking for bigger is that I need to make quick work of the cleaning up and snow...

    Is it worth it to have a slide out installed on a horse trailer?

    We have a 2003 Keifer genesis4 (could be wrong on the number). It is a weekend package so the interior is bare. Cabinets on the door side and a small closet on the long wall. We have cot bunks set up on the long wall for the kids. We were looking into options for upgrading to a living quarters...

    Horse arena, sand run off help

    We put in an outdoor arena last summer and we had to build up the area before any footing went down. I have ditches on both long sides of the arena and had hoped there was enough of a buffer that the footing wouldn't wash into the ditch. Well, that happened and so I had some surge rock that I...

    Anyone with airboss tires on their tractors?

    I was looking at backhoes for sale and came across a Case 580K loader with airboss tires on the front. They looked neat so I had to look it up and see what it was about. https://www.airbosstyre.com/ Not sure if this is the only website as I literally just looked and figured I would ask here...

    Footing for horse arena, done!

    Finally got our outdoor horse arena footing done! We used concrete sand from the closest quarry that had it and had it listed as used in horse arenas. 260 tons total came in yesterday and I took the day off to spread it around as it was delivered. Have just a small pile left over and it is...

    Magnetic mounting hardware for round baler control box?

    Anyone happen to have a line on where to find some magnetic hardware for a control box? The round baler I just got (Gehl 2580) didn't have a bracket with it for the control box. It has a plate on the back of the control box that looks like it would slide into a frame but that is it. I'll post of...

    Outdoor horse arena footing?

    We just finished having a nice clay platform base put in. We needed to raise the area where wanted to put our arena by at least 10 inches. We did have an idea of footing based off another outdoor riding arena that is close by (Lockport, NY). So I called up LaFarge quarry here in Lockport and...

    Box Blade

    I have been dragging my feet on this for way to long and finally pulled the trigger today. Just ordered an EA box blade. I went with the 96" 60-125hp extreme blade with lockable floating tailgate. I spent the extra for their viper teeth as I know I have some big rocks in the ground and car parts...

    TR3 rake or Box blade

    I have been looking for a good heavy box scraper. EA is 6 months out on their build times for their heavy duty models and Gannon is quite a bit more money for theirs. I saw a video for the TR3 rake and those looks like a pretty nice attachment. I've inquired about the 10' one they have but...

    3 point hitch rippers

    I was thinking of bidding on a pretty heavy duty 3 point hitch ripper at a local auction. Looks like something that would be on a dozer from the pictures. Anyone have any issues using one through hard clay and rocks? My main use would be to use it to rip up a rocky/clay area (3-5" size rocks)...

    looking for a replacement round baler

    I'm thinking of looking for a replacement for my Gehl 1460. I only just started looking so I hope its not too close to spring time that itll affect the pricing...I would like to stay under 7k if I can and from just the little bit of looking today it might be doable. So far, the NH644 has caught...

    Rear remote/port question?

    So, I am starting to have an issue with one of my lever control for my rear remote that I have my grapple hooked into. The lever itself is fine but it seems the valve going into the control that the lever pulls in and out is "loose". Thats the only term I can use to describe it. It seems like...

    hay tarp suggestions?

    Hey guys, I'm using more round bales for horses now and I'll be needing to pick up some tarps to cover them. I do single rows stacked on tires (the farm used to be an old junkyard). I would like to buy just a few in 30' lengths but unsure if 8oz tarps would be heavy enough or too much. Right...

    joystick control valve question

    Is swapping out a joystick loader control to a 3 lever loader control as simple as disconnecting the hoses and reconnecting the hoses in the proper spots??? For some reason, whenever I think out this I always think, there is a supply hose to the valve, then the different valves to the different...

    Hydraulic Pump

    It's time I tackle the hydraulic pump on my Farmtrac 795dtc. I am not getting the rated psi on my pump (2600). It maxes out at 2000 before dropping back down. I've narrowed the issue down to the pump because it seems like its leaking and I assume its leaking when I hit 2000psi. I can see the...

    Solar Panels on poss. unpermitted structure question

    thermo-start issues

    So I am having an issue with the new (to me) tractor not starting in the cold weather. When the preheating light is on, I am getting power to the thermo-start (using a 12v light tester) but nothing is heating up during the 20-30 seconds that it is on before shutting off. There is electro valve...

    Truck and Horse trailer questions

    Since the horsetrailer.net site is very sparse in active members it seems it would be best to ask here.

    Hydraulic pressure question

    So I got a pressure gauge hooked up and I am testing the pressure on my ports on the farmtrac 785dtc. It is rated for 2500psi in the manual. The gauge reads 2100psi at PTO speed and with the lever still holding the pressure drops. I did some adjusting with the valve and after dropping it to 1500...

    New (to me) tractor experience so far.

    So as many may have seen already, I purchased a Farmtrac 785DTC a few weeks back. It is a 2005 model year according to the info on the engine plate. It was a considerable jump from my 1980's SAME Mercury 75. The experience in riding and driving the FT is so much smoother and nicer than the...

    How big of a tine grapple should I consider?

    I am looking at a few tine grapples with the dual grapple. Should I be concerned about weight? I have a lifting capacity of 3800lbs at the pivot point on my loader and some of these grapples are close to 1300lbs in weight. I would be moving mostly manure with it and occasionally brush and trees...

    Possible weak loader or just too much weight?

    So I think I may have a minor issue with my loader/hydraulics or maybe I am just asking too much of my loader. I feel for the size of my tractor that the loader is a bit on the weaker side. I have a 5' bucket and itll lift just fine when picking up stone or dirt etc etc. Heaping buckets at that...
