well.... you guys seem to be right about the belt. I thought for sure it was tight, but I got it a little bit tighter & no problems. My dealer has told me this was not an uncommon problem.
Dealer has a different belt (green side or line??) that I am supposed to pick up. apparently this style of belt has a steel cord or braided steel in it that will prevent it from stretching / slipping.
Since the last snug of the belt seems to have solved my problem I haven't been in a hurry to stop by & pick up the belt. But will try it out since the dealer is very curious to see if it helps.
just had the 50 hr done @ dealer (actually had 69 hours), everything checked out great.
The DK45 is one heck of a machine!
Now looking for a ZTR mower (Husqvarna maybe)... it just doesn't end......

We were up at Penn State's Ag Progress Days yesterday and the DK 45 seemed to be the featured tractor at the Kioti dealer's stand. He had a cab and noncab 45 and they were attracting a lot of attention.

I have a DK 50 c and I had the exact same problem with it when it was new. The belt would howl and then settle down. The air finally quit. I sent it to another dealer because the one I bought it from went out of business. They said it was the belt. They tightened it and sent it back to me (it was under warrenty) for a $200 transportation fee. I used the tractor about another 6 or 7 hours and the compressor locked up, the belt was destroyed into a hundred pieces. I call the dealer back and they came and got the tractor. They wanted to charge me again but I called Kioti and I think they got back to the dealer because I was never billed for the transportation. I would guess that the compressor is no good.
