well i finally found a problem NOT! you big 3 out there thought here it is kioti has a problem. well sort of a problem but not really. the dk35 has a mid pto that has a cover to keep things form getting wrapped around it when it's not being used. this cover is the problem. while doing some trenching a root stabbed directly into the end of the cover which is open. a piece of the root pushed through the seal to shaft area and the trans fluid started to drip out. you should have seen how fast i crawled under that tractor to see how big the hole i had busted in my new tractor. fortunatly it was as simple as a piece of wood stuck in the seal. it didn't damage the seal and i even engaged the mid pto to see if any more fluid would come out and none did. the fix to this problem is to weld a washer on the end of the cover so it does not have that sharp edge to core those roots.
