Well while you wait here are some pics.of my DK50c puting a drain in the barn(lots of springs on my property).I have owned it for several years it has exceeded al my expectations.

Great pics Frenchie, how do you keep the Kioti so clean? I like the way your FEL remotes hook up, the way it looks they are very easy to reach. It's a real pain with the 45, they are under the cab, not far under but far enough that you have to lay on the ground to unhook or reattach. They also are so tight together that if you don't use the correct sequence you are out of luck. Because of that my loader stays on all the time, I do take the bucket off when needed.

oleozz, glad you like the pics. I always keep the tractor in the barn and try to wash it when weather is nice. It still looks new even though its a 2001 model. Sorry to here your loader comes off so hard those 451 ldrs look great. My 1590 ldr and BH come off real easy.In one of your old posts you stated that you had to beat the loader pins in. That doesn't seem right my pins slide right in and out. I hope yours gets easier.

Nice tractor. How old is that barn? Those look like some pretty good sized beams there. What is the purpose of your drain?

I'm going to guess the barn is about 60-70 yrs old . My house is about 100 yrs old and the barn is newer. There is an nice old timer that stops by he grew up here as a kid and gives me history info.His name and siblings names are carved in the barn beams up stairs from when they were kids.
The reason for the drain is after a hard rain weter comes up through the floor. I want to concrete the floor and move my shop down stairs and heat it. I have a lot of springs on my property.To go with that I live on SPRING RD. It only took about 3hrs to dig 70ft with my kioti 2385 bh.It was a good investment. talk later gota go frienchie4x4.
