I've been belly achein' about the lights on my DK40 for awhile. I added some to the ROPS a few years ago, that work great... When the ROPS is up. I have to fold it down to get the tractor into my portable garage and sometimes I want to do some quick task and too lazy to put the ROPS up. (Don't...

Hey List, Does anyone know how much grease the zerk on the end of the Axles (see pics) of the DK40SE HST should take? I know I've greased these before .. but I've put in 15 pumps and I don't see any grease oozing from anywhere?? Tractor On,

Hey List, After reading about the land planes / levelers here I decided to pull the trigger on a 72" Leinbach land plane from everythingattachments.com. Since I'm out of the 1000 mile free shipping area I had to pay a bit more for residential delivery (total was $1354.50). I just wanted to...

Hey List, Just a quick question for y'all. I have a DK40 HST tractor, and I'm looking at a box blade. Will my 40hp tractor pull a 6 foot box blade? Is wider better than more narrow? ... Thanks

Hey List, I bet you are wondering how I could make this a customization thread .. ahh ha check out the little brackets I welded up to keep the RZR more secure on the deck of the camper ... We were going to stay at Hall Creek Campground, but no empty spots, so we took the camper four wheeling...

Hey List, My wife finally gave me the thumbs up for a new (to us) RZR and I got one .. but have to get it shipped to Colorado from Arkansas. Have any of you used uShip - The Online Shipping Marketplace - Ship Freight, Furniture, Cars or Moves for shipping Quads or Tractors etc? If so what...

Hey List, I've done some searching on TBN for brush guard ideas.. and quite a few "frontal" guards .... Has anyone out there build anything; for under the radiator, Along side the engine behind the radiator? This goes along with my post of willow branch coming from under / behind radiator...

Well I've seen it posted here several times and it thought I was being so careful BUT!! 111 hours on my baby and my first battle injury. I was moving stacks of willow branches, ranging from 6 to 10 feet in length and about 4-6 feet high, to more dry ground to be run through a chipper. All...

Hey List, I think I might be officially type-A about my tractor now ... the thought of renting implements popped into my mind, and then immediately afterwards I thought about running someone else's nasty hydraulic fluid into my tractor .... Have I gone off of the deep end worrying about this...

Hey List, Has anyone had any experience with something like this? I've got a quick attach bucket on my Kioti ... would this work on the FEL as well as it would on a skid steer? Skid Steer Road Greader Tractor on

Hey List, What do you guys typically run your DK40, 45, 50's at for best fuel economy? I typically run mine at a bit over 2k and that seems to give me good power and fast hydraulic mvt. On my tach there is a little red triangle, and I've always assumed this is were the PTO is running at the...

Hey List, The Katz heater I have installed on my Kioti DK40SE HST has crapped out... I don't recall what size I used was it 1 1/4" or 1 1/2 Inch? Anyone out there recall what size they used.. I'd like to have a new one here before I pull it out so it does not have to sit w/o anti-freeze while...

Hey List, I've looked at the threads on tire chains and I've seen one case where a guy made his own (right here in Colorado) back in 2006. Looks like there was some questions about how hard the cross link chains were? Has anyone built their own tire chains? and what did it cost compared to...

Hey List, I'm looking for a backup generator for my house .. we typically loose power a few days a year due to snow ... but one never knows what the future will hold. I'm leaning toward a 3600rpm portable Diesel motor generator .. can get one (Looking at ETQ 6000 model) for about $1100.00 ...

Well, I woke up the other day to the sound of a tractor starting. Looked out the window and saw my crazy neighbor trying to steal my Farmall Cub!! What do I do now? But serously: This was part of the Halloween display at Elitch Gardens here in Denver... Had to post it... heheheh

Hey List, Well I welded a 2" receiver hitch to the top edge of my bucket, but the main problem I had was seeing the ball as I tried to hook up to things.. the bucket was in the way.. I had some time today, after voting, to kill so I welded up a "Clamp on" 2" receiver for the lower edge of my...

Hey List, Any thoughts on the pro's vs the con's on putting up some signs in my area for "Snow Plowing on Demand". How do I go about estimating what to charge someone to plow out their driveway? Here in this area of Colorado we typically get more snow in the Spring, but over the winter can...

Hey List, My wife and I had our 17th wedding anniversary this month. She told me my gift is comming UPS... I was guessing for days with no luck... Came last night and I about busted a gut when I opened it ... now where to hang it? Carry on, Phill

Hey List, I just wanted to take a moment and post a quick thread here about the FANTASTIC customer service I received from Cequent Performance Products. I bought a Tekonsha P3 brake controler about 2 years ago and it's been great. I was pulling a car hauler trailer about a week ago and the...

Hey List, Got to play in the snow a little bit here today (Only about 7 inches). I put a hydraulic cyl on my tilt cylinder for rear blade and I love it! However, the Kioti DK40 has such a short lever for the rear remotes that one has to bend way over to reach it.. and adjust. Has anyone out...

Hey List, I mounted a hydraulic cylinder to my side link and I run it off of the one rear remote on my tractor. It works GREAT, however the rear remote has a detent, and sometimes when I try to make a small adjustment I accidently get it stuck in the detent and what I get is a GIANT adjustment...

Hey List, Well I picked up a 75 gallon "L shaped" tank from murdoch's locally here and I'd like to put some treated 2x6's along the bottom/outside edges so I can get under the tank with either straps or forks to lift it on/off the pickup. Here is a link to the tank I got: Better Built Steel...

Hey List, I don't know if this classifies as a full "Attachment" but here it is: I was at the scrap metal dealer and saw some 3" steel pipe.. so I snaged an 8 foot piece for about $10.00. I Cut it to 72" and weled some tang's on it so I can bolt it to the front edge of my FEL. I'm hoping...

Hey List, In the manual it seems that one should check their hydraulic fluid level with the engine OFF... but with the fluid warm.. am I reading this right? After all the years of checking auto transmission fluid in the cars with the engine running... I just wanted to make sure I was reading...

Hey List, Well I've graded the private road I live on and I've fixed the problem we had with a steeper area washing out... but in the process the Gravel on top has seemd to dissapear? So you can imagine after 41" of snow, the road is a muddy mess. One of my neighbors met me out on the road...

Hey List, Well I finally got the tilt cylinder on my Kioti DK45SE HST. I'm running of of the stock rear remote. I used 3/8" hose on purpose to hopefully slow the flow down enough to make smaller adjustments possible. I used a cylinder from Northerntools.com Lion Heavy-Duty Tie-Rod Hydraulic...

Hey List, Well I just wanted to post a quick note here about pushing snow with a tractor vs ATV. We have got about 3.5 feet of snow here in Conifer and this is my first year using my tractor to push it around the driveway and our road... about 1/4mile long. I've just been using the front end...

Hey List, Last night was the first time I've used my dk40 at night and yikes! with the FEL mounted the headlights are useless. I've got a tractor light I picked up at harbor freight for $9.00 that I'm going to put on the rear... but what have others done for foward lights? I'm thinking...

Hey List, Well Now that I have the cylinder from NorthernTool's here for my rear blade offset (22" cylinder with 12" stroke) I'm having 2nd thoughts.. I only have 1 rear remote on my Kioti DK40se and I'm just thinking that It would be better to have they remote operate the tilt (right side of...

Hey List, I've got a whole 9 hours on my Kioti now and it's been fun ... but still re-learning for sure... Anyhow, I had to take the seat out and put an adjustment hole in the slide that would work better for me (nice to know I'm shorter than the average S. Korean Man). Got it out alright, but...

Hey List, Well today is the madien voyage at road grading on my tractor. I've got a private road that 4 of us live on.. it's only about s1/4mile long, but has flat area at the top .. a Hill (about 6-7 foot elevation loss over 40 feet) .. and then a flat area at the bottom. Hill is almost...

Hey Folks, Well the day has finally come. I went and fetched the new DK40SE HST home today. it's a 2008 year model. Had some excitement when I was backing it off of the trailer. I was parked on a slight incline (that lead to a more steep incline) and as the rear wheels approached the edge of...

New owner of Kioti DK40SE HST NOW WHAT? Hey List, Well I finally did it... I pulled the trigger and I am now a new owner of a new (2008) Kioti DK40SE HST. I got the FEL and a 7' rear blade. I was going to go with a Bobcat CT445, but it was 4k more, and I was really leaning toward a used...

Hey List, Being a good ND boy (growing up North or Bismarck on a farm) I'm looking for a compact tractor. I live in Conifer Colorado now and I'm interested in a tractor for mainly snow pushing, and road grading. I've been talking to a Kioti dealer about 1hr away on a DK40Se HST for 21k...
