Power Trac Maximum Slope Capability Questions The PT website shows the PT 1850 and PT 1845 as "slope capable mowers" with the PT 1850 capable of 45 degrees and the PT 1845 capable of 40 degrees. What is the expected maximum slope capability for some of the other PT Products for mowing dry...

Murphy mentioned he had replaced his optional factory Suspension Seat with a Air Ride Seat Questions to Murphy and others What are the Air Ride Seat Options Brands or where to Buy Are the nicer on rough ground then Factory option suspension seat? Do they come with Side Arm Rests? Thanks Spanky

Any one seen any enclosed trailers that are set up for Skid Steers and Compact Tractors. I have seen many enclosed trailers sold as car haulers but none of them seemed to have drive on ramp doors that would be suitable for frequent use with short wheel base skid steers and heavy compact...

I am looking for a 6 to 7 foot wide light duty Rotary Cutter. With a 6 to 7 foot single spindle rotary cutter the length from the 3 point pins to the tail wheel is longer then I would like to maneuver around. I see some offerings for two spindle rotary cutters in the heavy duty designs but not...

Trailer Ball Selection - Nickle Chrome, Zinc, Stainless, or no finish/raw? I have always used chrome finish trailer balls. They seem the most common and offer corrosion protection in the areas that the chrome does not wear off. The light grease then provides the corrosion protection in the...

I am into the learning phase for the vintage Yanmar Tractors. Likely will ask some questions that seem simple or misguided to most of the experienced group here. Appreciate any help and please include the additional information I am not knowledgeable enough to ask. My end objective for the...

I would like to get some thoughts from those with experience towing large enclosed trailers on narrow roads that have steep climbs and down grades along with the quick transitions down grades to up grades. I would like to use a 8.5 by 24 enclosed car haul trailer in NE Tennessee back country...

What is the best coolant to replace the factory fill coolant in CK and DK models. I believe both CK and DK engines do not have wet liners, so likely no cavitation additative requirements. Suspect any ethylene glycol coolant mixed at 50/50 with distilled water would work. I am leaning toward...

Just read the thread about the correct size Bush Hog to run with a B2320 Tractor. Looks like a 48 inch light duty Bush Hog is the best match for size/weight/PTO the B2320 tractor has. My question is - will a B2320 with a 48 Bush Hog cut tall heavy grass/weeds mixed in with a few under 1/2 inch...

Do the CK and DK models have a fuel shutoff on the pump that will allow you to crank over the engine with the starter and not inject fuel from the pump? I know there is a fuel shutoff/air bleed valve at the fuel filter but that would not keep the fuel pump from injecting fuel until the fuel has...

Observation after the initial engine start up after my first engine oil and filter change. Temperature 45 F with Kioti oil filter and 10W-40 CJ4 engine oil. The engine oil pressure light stayed illiminated for an estimated 3 to 4 seconds after the first start following the oil and filter...

Do any new current production chain saws have automatic bar oiler with a manual push button oiler. Some of the older saws had both systems. We have a older small Mac that has both. Looked at the Sthil line this week and all had automatic oilers. The smaller size saws did not have any...

Just wondering what the Factory Fill Engine Oil Viscosity is in our Kioti Tractors from the factory. I am assumming the engine plant fills the engine oil and does a running engine test and leaves the same oil in for shipment to the dealer. Possibly they ship dry and let dealer fill with oil...

What engine oil viscosity does the Bobcat Owner Manual Specify for the CT225/230/235 Tractors? Just checking to see if they call out the same oil as the Kioti CK27/30/35 manual. I was surprised that 15W-40 was not shown for "summer" oil in the Kioti CKs. The Kioti manual calls for the...

I have a CK30 HST FEL R4s(not loaded) Box Blade (600 lbs). This is the first time that I have used the HST High range for driving on paved roads. Each time I would set engine RPM to PTO rated notch on tachometer which is 2500 Engine RPM before starting out. When running full forward speed...

Any one have a estimate for how large of a circle it will take to turn this truck/trailer combination around without backing up. Truck is a 3500 single rear wheel crew cab 8 foot box (22 feet long bumper to bumper) and trailer will be a enclosed car hauler bumper pull 8.5 by 35 feet triple...

Looking for a used smaller CUT to use for finish mowing, light bush hogging, and FEL work. Estimate about 60 hours use per year. Found a 1999 TC18 4wd hydro, FEL, 60 inch mid mower, 48 inch bush hog, and box blade with just over1900 hours. Starts good and everything works as it should. No...

I see a few 3 axle enclosed trailers in the 28 foot and longer lengths. The axle specifications on a few of the 3 axle trailers I have seen were three 5200 pound rated axles for 15,600 total. Would a higher per axle rated dual axle trailer be available for a single wheel per side? or do the...

Question for someone that has taken a CUT a little past the limit. What was it like as you soil your drawers. You will likely be exposed to a 90 degree side roll with a quick stop. I am pretty conservative (or chicken) when it come to taking the tractor on much of side grade and will usually...

Anyone have experience driving up and down steep grades on paved roads with HST CUT Tractors? I mow 2 locations that are 5 road miles away from each other. The road separating the two places is a asphalt coutry road that has a couple of (my estimate) 16 percent grades that are about 600 feet...

Looking into purchasing a two axle enclosed trailer "bumper pull". The size range will be between a 7 to 8.5 foot wide and a length between 16 to 26 foot with inside height from 6 to 6.5 foot. Will be towing 70 percent interstate highways and 30 percent county roads with speed limits 40 to 55...

Trying to make the decision on what width and weight box scraper to use with a Kioti CK30 with FEL and R4 tires (tires not loaded). The box scraper will be used as a rear ballast for the FEL as well. The rear R4 tires are just under 66 inches wide so expect a 66 would be the smallest width...

Any one have an estimate (or better yet a load cell, strong chain, and a fixed attachment point to test). Wondering how much hitch pulling force a Kioti CK30 HST with a FEL, Box blade, and R4s would do on level grass covered ground. The estimated weight would be around 4600 pounds (3100...

Would like to get a Caroni "Brush' Fail mower. I will be mowing weeds and tall grass up to 5 feet high. I like the reports on the TM1900BSC (75 inch) but only have 28 Engine HP/21 PTO HP so likely need to step down in size. The Caroni website shows a TM1600BSC (63 inch) but I do not see 1600...

Do the tractor manufactures keep repeating the purchase incentitives. Currently Kioti has a free FEL on the CKs and $3500 toward implements (including FEL) on the DKs. Bobcat recently had a free FEL and rebates on some models. Kubota has IIRC a low rate financing or a rebate on some of their...

Looking to purchase an enclosed trailer to haul and winter store a soon to be purchased tractor, front end loader, and rear rotary cutter. The equipment will be used about 6 months of the year at home and vacant land that needs to be cut (5 acres to cut)a couple times a year to keep it from...

Anyone here use the Home Site forums. I usually check them for some of my interests and have not been able to load them for a few weeks. Have they ceased operation or having server difficulty? Thanks Wayne

How can one reduce or eliminate snapping turtle from a farm pond. The snaping turtles seem to be in large numbers with no natural predators to reduce them. I am thinking the snaping turtles are even killing the baby ducks that are using the pond. Any thoughts? Thanks Wayne

A raccoon has been visiting our trash cans and feasting 3 or 4 times a week. Plastic lid seems to come off real easy for him. Interesting in that most time he eats inside the can so little mess to pick up. Got a quick look him one night when I turned on the back light. Looks like the best...

I normally use Quaker State Marine grease in all my trailers to keep a common grease gun since one trailer is a small boat trailer. Lately I have not been able to fine a store in OH/MI that sells it. Does anyone know if it is still available and where to purchase. I checked on Quaker State...

Does anyone have the link to the Kubota B series pricing site that would give the MSRP price and suggest a "good Price" and "great price". As I remember a TBNer had compiled it. Thanks Wayne

Last I heard the CK20 were in transit from manufacturing plant. Are they in customers hands being used yet? Do many dealers have them in stock?

Any information when/if Kioti expects to expand the use of HST past the current soon to be available CK20.

What other Tractor Brands and Models do you see the CK20 competing against? From other posts it looks like the CK20 with 4WD and HST will have MSRP list for around 10,600 USD. Any thoughts what the discounted cash price will end up for those willing to order and wait?

I am starting to look into purchasing a CUT after a few years without one. I have looked at the specifications for the following: NH 33D, Kubota L3130 and 2910, and JD 4410. I was surprised to find that only the JD uses a direct fuel injection engine. Both NH and Kubota are still using...
