After having my DK55C for a month

[KiotiMutt]

Well it's been about a month now. I absolutely love my new Kioti. The only thing that MUST go is the seat. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif It sets too low and has no suspension. Other than that, I'm very happy.
I ride around my 15 acres looking for things to do. LOL! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

And there's plenty to do. I have 10-12 large brush piles with alot of dirt mixed in, from clearing the land 4 years ago. They have been burned out as best we could. Should be some good compost for a nice garden.
Also have some minor drainage problems I can tackle.

After spending many hours reading on TBN I can see many things that I "need" for my tractor. ie; backhoe, TnT, toothbar, more lights, and of course a nice seat.

Has anyone attempted to dig a pond with their CUT? Or would I be pushing my baby too hard?

I'll post some pictures of the projects I'm going to work on.

Congratulations on your DK55.
As far as a pond goes, I've got the CK20 and am going to try and enlarge my existing pond and possibly start another. I don't see it as a problem as I'm only going to about 2-3 feet deep.
Let us know how your making out and I'll do the same. G

I've had customers with DK35's say they have made their ponds 2-3 feet deeper with their tractor. Also had one guy dig a hole for a swimming pool with his LB1914. I'm sure your DK55 would be up to the job. Good luck and happy playin...err... I mean workin... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif !

I also have a DK 55 . Almost 300 hours so far. No cab . Now that the self leveling loader 1595 is gone and replaced with a Woods 1020 the tractor is unbelievable. We do a lot of stone work and the forks will now pick and handle a very good jag of stone/block on a pallet . The old loader would have puked at the loads we are now able to work with. I would recomend a DK 55 to anyone. Sometimes a bit bigger is better . G
