DK50SE HST Cab

Just ordered it today. Should be here in about a week. It's funny, but I feel more relief (at finally getting this decision behind me) than joy or anticipation.

I'm just ready to get to work. I've gotta get a stump grapple ordered asap. (See my "Stump Grapple" thread in the Attachments forum if you have any thoughts on the subject.)

And I've gotta decide on a shredder. Leaning towards the Rhino 172 at my dealer, but not sure yet.

For a box blade, I'm probably gonna buy a used Gannon with hydraulic scarifiers if I can talk a certain seller down to reality on his price. $1,250 sounds too high for one in decent (but not great) shape that may need two new hydraulic hoses.

Congratulations on your new Kioti. They are a great machine and sure you will get lots of enjoyment with it. Don't know much about stump grapples shredder choice is a good one

Congratulations on your new machine, and welcome to the pack. Hydraulic hoses are pretty cheap at this company.

Congratulations on your new tractor, very nice machine indeed, your tractor will handle the Rhino 172 quite easily though you may or may not need one with more than 1 1/2" cutting capacity, several good brands out there and of course Rhino makes a heavier cutter.

Out of curiosity how are you having yours equipped, rear remotes etc.?

 

[Poopdeck Pappy]

Thanks to all. I really appreciate all the advice and guidance I've received on this forum.

TripleR, I'm having a 2nd rear remote added, plus the tires loaded. And since I'm going to be using a grapple (once I pick one out) using one of the rear remotes, I'm having them route hydraulic hoses from one of the rear SCVs to the cross-bar on the front of the loader.

Can you post pictures when you get it, I have three rear remotes as I have a Land Pride HR3584 box scraper and might try to use one of them instead of adding a third function for a grapple.

I will be happy to post some pics when I get it. I'm interested to see how they are going to route the hoses.

On the mower, I know that Rhino sells a heavier mower, which I think is called the 272, but it is Category II only. Seems odd to me because Bush Hog sells their 296 6' mower, which is very heavy duty and has a Category I hitch. I wish my dealer sold Bush Hog, which would make it an easy decision.

Yeah kind of surprising, our L5740 is cat I or II as is our Land Pride RCR2672, kinda though most were.

Congrats! I just picked up my the same tractor last Friday.

I picked up a 73" Caroni flail Saturday. Sunday I put 'em to work(I wish I coulda bailed the grass).

The flail did great on the grass as well as privet up to 2+" in diameter.
