Tractor
Kioti DK 35
I now have 400 hours on my DK 35 and thought I'd give an update on how it is working so far.
KL 1450 loader
Had a small tilt cylinder leak when new - dealer repaired it right away - no problems since.
Original grease fittings fall out - replace with grease fittings with longer threads - no problems since
Other than these 2 problems the loader works quite well..

So far after 400 hours the tractor itself has been absolutely FLAWLESS.
I have never had a single problem with the tractor, comfortable, reliable, gets the job done.
I have been extreamly pleased with this tractor so far.

I purchased this tractor to clear, prepare and maintain 15 acres to build a new house.
So far I have cleared 15 acres of overgrown rough field.
Tilled and leveled 6 acres for lawn (my DK 35 now mows and maintains that lawn)
Maintains 9 acres field.
Dug and backfilled over 1500' utlity line ditchs.
Dug out 600' driveway and turn around area, spread the stone for driveway.
Dug hundreds of feet of drainage ditch and filled with stone.
Backfilled around new house.
Tills my garden.
Plows my driveway.
Dug the postholes for my fence
Etc. Etc..
The DK 35 has easily handled every project I have thrown at it so far

Wow Vince, you've really been getting the seat time. Mine was drastically decreased over the last couple of months due to the terrible storms we've been having, but will have to increase a whole lot soon in all the reparations of the damage. Congratulations on 400 hours of virtually trouble free service from a great tractor. I hope you have at least 10X that much without problems. John

I hope so too !! Because I seem to have neverending tractor projects to do around here..
The hardest part is finding the time to get them done..
