Any body tried or seen a new Woods curved boom loader on a DK 55 yet? I am very curious about them . Thanks, G

update. Finally got tractor to shop after a long hard summer. Turns out, after doing all of the easy stuff at home, it was a new injector pump that was needed and the timing was way off. Bummer is when they took the loader off to get to the timing they found many broken and missing bolts for the...

I ahd a dk 35 that had a regenerative laoder valave which greatly increased the dump speed. Can I put one of those on the dk55. The single function valve on the dk55 is slow. Also I have the woods 1020 loader and see on their web site a regenerative valave. Am I better off putting the woods...

Well we had 3" of rain in 2 hours the other day. Went out and started the tractor the next morning and I was litterally back to square one. It started fine, 10 seconds later it almost stalled and blew smoke the was as bad as ever imagined. There is no water in fuel system. Why is this tractor...

Just curious . How long should it take for the thermostat to open and actually show a net gain on the gauge ? Just a curiosity on my part. Thanks, G

smokin\' dk 55 cannot stand it any more and called my dealer. He said to ground the intake manifold and give it a try. It cleared up the bad smoke at start up instantly. Next morning no good, smokin' as bad as ever. I put a second ground on it fixed it instatnly, this morning back to square...

I have around 100 yards of seasoned manure /bedding compost that I would like to chop. Has anyone made a chopper? I was thinking there has to be a way to make one from a manure spreader,flail mower, or even a tiller. Any thoughts are welcome. I am looking to make something that would have a...

O.K. sorry but this is the last try. I had the tracotr at dealers all winter to get things worked out. Loader specs out with the tracotr hydraulics and pressure. BUT it is so slow !!! Any one have any pearls of wisdom besides selling this rig. It has a Woods 1020 loader . It is trong and the...

I am looking at the 110 TLB with out the back hoe. Seems like the most tractor of it's size with the most impressive hydraulic system around. Any body out there veer run one ?

Today was relatively warm so I did an experiment. I reversed the lines on the loader and sure enough the curl and dump sppeds increased enough so I noticed it. Put everything back together correctly and was back to a sleepy slow dump curl. Any thoughts ?Happy holidays all, G

SAw some Challenger tractors on the way home last night . They look lokie the real deal. I went to the web site but it was slow down loading and I went to bed. I am thinking of trading my present rid for a comprable Chellenger. Any one know anything about them, they look rugged as heck and seem...

Any body, Kioti John in particular, know if the new DK 55 have any improvements. I am looking for increased hydraulic flow and a better remedy to a glow plug pre-warming system. I had trouble with the glow plugs and a pre warmer was installed. Worked great in warm weather but now that it is cold...

I know I ttried to ask before but! Any one know of any other loader options for DK 55 other than Woods and Kioti. Also any way to speed up my pump. Loader is sleepily sloooooowwwww. Everything specs out on hydraulic system. Any thoughts and no bashing, I love this tractor. Just trying to speed...

I drove a small hyrdastatic tracotr today to load manure. The loader speed was unbelievable, fast and resposive. I got home on my 55 hp shuttle shift and could have taken a nap with the loader speed. What's up ?

Well I am close to the end with Kioti. I love the quality of these tractors and have owned 4 kioti's. The loader on my dk 55 was originally a 1595 that was embarrassingly challenged in all respects. I have had a woods 1020 for over a year and have finally hit a wall. It is sooooo slooooow that...

Any body have any ideas on how to make a chopper for horse bedding /compost. I was wondering if a flail mower or cultivator could modified to have a hopper that would be loaded with excavator and just shoot it out the bottom. Any thoughts are welcome. We clogged a hay bale mulcher pretty good...

Any body know where to get the mats so you can drive machines on lawns and minimze the damage ?

smokin\' DK 55 Well it took just about a year to the day to fix. Kioti finally came through with a fix kit for my smokey start up problem. Looks like a electric preheater in the manifold . Not sure if the glow plugs are still in there or not. Takes longer for the initial glow but the results...

I know some one has the answer out there. What is the heaviest for it's class in the 55 hp.p range ?

I have a DK 55 now but am getting tired of balsam trees and wind dumping snow on me as I plow snow. Am seriously thinking of trading up to a DK55C with a Woods loader, not the 1595 Kioti loader. ANy price information is appreciated. My DK has 400 hours all I need is a cab. Any help is always...

Seems that the joy stick for the fel is a bit funky. After a couple times of this occurance I called the dealer. Once is a while The joystick gets kind of lost and out of wack. I have been plowing snow and when I go to raisae the loader there is not response and the joystick just kind of rattles...

I have industrial tires and am looking for v style ice chains . Tire sizes front 12-16.5 and rears 17.5Lx24. Anybody know where to get them ?

I am about to trade my Norse mechanical winch in for a hydraulic winch. Anyone ever use a hydraulic? I am tired of pulling cords and running htem over and dealing with them in the cab. Any thoughts appreeciated.

I saw an advertisement by Grouser Products for a mid mont all angle grading blade. The web site does not mention it. Any body scene one ? Looks very cool, makes a tractor into a road grader, just imagine no more stiff neck using a bb or rake.

Smokin\' DK 55 Seems to be smokin' a bit much. When I start the tracot rit fires right up and sounds o.k. Then it will struggle a bit to find idle, threatening to stall, and then it comes up to idle 1,000rpm. It will really smoke blue/white smoke during this warm up period until it is run for...

I am looking for a web site to get information for this machine. No luck. Any helpers ? The excavator is a 10,000lb. machine with a 6 way bladde similar to a bull dozer . Any help is always appreciated >

Any cabs other than the Kioti hard shell available ? The hard cab is too cumbersome for summer work in the woods but looks sweet for winter plowing. I am looking for a soft sided cab so I can take the doors off in summer but be protected from old man winter.

Some where in here I came upon a web address that I have never been able to find since. It was a link to an implement manufacturer . They had among other things quick attach loader blades. These are the smaller profile , straight blades that are seen on log skidders, excavators , and general...

Has any one used one of these blades or anything similar. Looks like a fool proof grading system , easier than traditional blades or boxes.

How do you buy one of these setups ? Looks like it is a very cool add on in the must have list. There is no phone # at the website or pricing. Does anyone know how to get one . ?

How the heck do I get the water/condensation out of my 300 gal tank. I just put on a water fileter in addition to the particle filter but it becomes clogged/water saturated very quickly. Any advice is good advice, Thanks, G

Any of you dealers know of any options to replace the 1595 with ?

Kioti has finally gotten back to me and admitted a problem with roll back on the 1595. The holes are too close together. I even had a tech guy from Korea call me. New loaders will be in country by spring. Yahoo. Plowing snow with my Curtis plow and this DK 55 is a dream. Later and happy holidays...

Had a quick attach put on the FEL and got it yesterday. Wow. What an idiot I was for having resisted it as an original option. Forks on, loader off, tow seconds, no sweat. Still waiting for the loader to be fixed. Apparently it is the pressure relief valve that is bad for the self levleing...

<font color="black"> </font> <font color="black"> </font> <font color="black"> </font> <font color="black"> </font> I bent , or should I say a leveling rod on my loader bent with 50 hours on the tractor. It is at the shop now and they out a new arm on and it bent. My dealer called the...

Has nayone ever used one of these ? Looks like a larger box blade and the comcept looks simple. I am looking for the most efficient , easy to use leveler, spreader compactor I can find . WEuse a rake/blade combo now for doing driveways but there has to ba anext level of technology . Thanks, G

I have never bent more things on three other tractors combined in 6 years as I have in 50 hours with this DK 55. The upper toplink bent the other day when I put on my scra per blade and raised it up . The threaeded end just drooped like a piece of licorice in the sun . This morning I went out...

Has anyone here discovered a way to increase the curl of self leveling buckets. I had my forks bent back to increase angle so logs will roll back and I can load on down hill slopes. This a.m. one bent back just ahead of the gusset. There has to ba simpler solution and I know someone here has the...

I have a DK 55 and am now realizing I should have gooten the quick attach system from the get go. Any one have experience ,good ,or bad ,indiferent on Kioti's . Would I be better off going after market ?

Filled the new tractor once to the brim and have run it for 25 hours now. The gauge has not budged from full. The tank at the filler is more than 1/2 full. This tractor has split/ dual tanks and the sending unit is on the far tank away from the filler. Does this sending unit only tell the...

I am looking for a cat.2 scraper-rake combo. The hevier the better. I am particularly interested in hydraulic all angle. I have scene blades with all angles but not rakes. Any help is appreciated.

Got my new rig yesterday. Traded up from a DK 35 . It has industrail tires, Norse 45o logging winch and self leveling loader. With three ranges this thing will go anywhere and is smooth as silk to operate . I threw the winch cable this a.m. testing it out so need to imediatelty replace the...

I have a DK 35 that i am upgrading to a DK 55. The 35 has 350 hours, rear remote, Fransgaard winch, loaded industrial tires, tire chains,1450 loader, brush gaurd and weights. What is a fair trade in price or asking price ? I was never good at this pricing stuff. Had this posted in the Kioti...

I have owned LK 2554 , LK 3054 and presently own a DK35 . I am thinking about trading up again for a DK 55C . I do some grading but mostly loader work , logging , plowing in the winter, and using the tractor as a wheel barrow in conjunction with a New Holland EC 35 mini excavator. The question...

ANy body know of a Holder dealer in the lower 48 . I am very interested in there articulating tractors for working in the woods.Just don't know of any dealers.

This is my 3rd. Kioti . I have read with misbelief that some folks are not really stisfied. Sure there are some loose bolts once in a while but no big deal. I use mine at home and commercailly in combination with a New Holland EC 35 mini - excavator. I am making some front end weights now as I...
