Did you trade off the wm60? How did the wm60 hold up? I followed your old posts on it. Would you still recommend it?

How about fuel economy?

Thanks. That is impressive. I have had nothing but problems with the tier 4 system on my Kioti from the beginning. My previous tractor was a pre tier mahindra 4500. It gave me 11 years of trouble free service. I have been considering a mahindra 4550, but I brush hog 200 acres per year, often in...

Thanks!

Thanks!

How many hours does the tractor have on it now? Have you had any problems with the emissions system yet?

If anyone knows the individual gear speeds for the kubota l4701 8 speed transmission, I would appreciate it.

Outstanding, thanks again!

H Thanks for the post. How about radiator clogging during mowing and cleaning it afterwards?.

Well, after comparing specs, I believe the MX is the way to go. The difference in loader capacity is significant. Thanks to everyone for your help!

Good to know. I got mine back today with a new turbo.

A family member purchased the 8560 and I ended up with it. It was much larger than I was used to. I hated it. I could work circles around it with the Mahindra 4500 tractor, 35 pto hp that we had at the time. I am just faster with small tractors.

I have a DK5510. It is a wonderful tractor to operate, the most stable I have ever felt on slopes, however it has been plagued with tier 4 issues and excess oil use from the beginning. Many trips to the shop. They finally figured out at 460 hours that the turbo had been leaking oil for a long...

Thanks for the good advice! The 4701 when ballasted plus the loader will weigh around 5700. I am currently using a Kioti of similar size. It does very well on the slopes, especially in areas where I have to cross the slopes. They are a low profile tractor. The tractors I owned in the past were...

I am interested to hear from owners who work them long and hard. I will need one for brush hogging, grappling, cattle feeding etc, on 400 acres of hilly Ozark land. I have used small tractors like this for all of my 50 years of farming. I am thinking about trying an hst. Replies and advice are...

Yep, it did. I think Kioti Dave had a bad turbo and got his engine replaced as well. I believe my tractor has the same engine.

Is yours still good since they fixed it? Mine is in the shop after similar symptoms. Parked regens every 4 hours etc. They finally figured out the turbo was leaking oil . It is being replaced. Noticeable oil loss began at 70 hours, approximately 1/2 ounce per hour. I reported it at the time.

If the warning light comes on when the engine is cold, it is recommended in the instructions to let it warm up before pushing the switch.

My passive regens like you are referring to occurred regularly from 13 to 20 hours apart.

No I haven't. Parked regen on a kioti has a different light notification than a passive regen. Parked regen requires the operator to stop, please tractor in neutral , parkining brake engaged, throttle on idle, hold down regen switch for over 2 seconds. Regen is supposed to take over at that...

I wish that were true. Manufacturers sometimes turn out defective products. Real simple.

Wrong. Mahindra and Massey Ferguson use egr and doc, no dpf. They offer this in hp ratings up to at least 75 hp. 9mm I think New Holland Work-master 50 is also without a DPF. Not sure how it works.

Welcome to the club. There are several unfortunate members. My 2019 Kioti dk5510 had its first parked regen at 348 hrs. Regen failed and limp mode began. The tractor has been in the shop repeatedly for this issue. Unable to resolve it, much less figure it out. At 460 hours my tractor is...

How does the tier 4 system work? Does it require interaction from the driver, such as a parked regen? I have a 2019 kioti dk5510 which has been repeatedly in the shop over malfunctioning dpf issues. I'm looking for something without the dpf.

I would like to hear from owners, their opinions on this model, as well as advice.

I have a 2019 DK5510. The tractor is wonderful to work with, but the tier 4 system has been a nightmare. I operate it at the required rpm level, however the system has not worked properly from the beginning . It has been in the shop repeatedly in attempts to fix it with no luck. It is in the...

I see the 4540 and 4550 loaders are made by Ansung. How well do these hold up? Any problems? I use a grapple a significant amount; I have 12 miles of fence rows to maintain, with large, medium and small oak trees that occasionally fall on fences and in pastures. Rock and stump digging as well. I...

I have a similar issue with a 2019 Kioti dk5510. Many Kioti owners reporting this issue. My problems started at about 70 hours with what we eventually found out at 460 hours was a leaky turbo. It is a wonderful tractor to work with, however the problems created by tier 4 have ruined it.

Thanks again. How about the tier 4. Does it work as advertised, ie no interaction from the operator? Any issues with the EGR system, computer issues, etc? I am in Wright County, 50 miles from a dealership in Webster County and 50 miles from a dealership in Texas County; hauling fees for those...

One of my concerns is radiator clogging and overheating while brush hogging. Another is ease of radiator cleaning. The old mahindra 4500 never overheated; just blow it out at the end of the day. My Kioti, on the other hand, being turbo charged and a 2600 rpm required for 540 pto, takes in an...

Thanks! My 4500 was purchased used in 08 with 300 hours. We kept it for 11 years. I brush hog 200 acres a year, along with a fair amount of loader and grapple work. It had an 8 speed transmission. I think it may be the same as the 4550. It was unsyncronized, but I could shift it while moving...

I would like to hear about 4550 owners experience with this model. I farm 400 acres of hilly ozark land, approximately half wooded. I have always used utility tractors in the 40 to 50 hp range. I previously owned a Mahindra 4500. It was a 2001 model. I traded it in 2019 for a Kioti. The...
