DK35 questions

[woodyacres]

Hello,
I was looking for some info on the KIOTI website but was unable to find anything on the information I was looking for. I thought I would look to the experts for their advice and knowledge (that's you guys).
1) Do you know what type of engine the DK35 has and how many cylinder's it is?
2) Approximately how many hours can you get on a tank of gas?
3) Is their one or two hydraulic pumps (JD has two so it doesn't rob for power steering)?
4) How accessible is everything for routine maintenance (engine, filters, oil changes, etc.)?

I am probably going to stop in tonight to buy my new DK35, but just has some questions before I finalized. Thanks!

1) Engine model 3B183LXM is a 3 cylinder, 111.43 cu in. (1,826cc), normally aspirated diesel with 38HP at 2,600rpms.
2) Couldn't tell ya
3)It looks like there is just one pump at 15.2gpm.
4)My CK20 makes everything easy to get to and maintain, so I bet Kioti used that same process in designing the DK35 but I don't know for sure.

1) Already addressed.
2) A long day. About 10 hours anyway.
3) One
4) Very good. The side panel comes off once you've raised the hood. That give you access to oil filter, oil filler point. The air filter and radiator screen are right in front of you when you raise the hood.

Kioti website says the CK35 is a 4 cylinder and the DK is a 3 cylinder. I assumed the CK had the same motor as the DK. I guess not.

I read the engine spec's for the CK35 as a three cylinder..
But it is a little smaller than the DK

Engine Model 3A 165LXD
Engine Gross Power 34hp (25.4kw)
Rated Speed 2,600 rpm
No. of Cylinder 3
Fuel Type Diesel
Displacement 100.5 cu.in. (1,647 cc)

It must be a misprint, but they do say 4 cylinders under the specs of the CK35HST but same 100.5 cu in and same model number.
