Has anyone put bigger curl cylinders on their DK yet?

That is sweet! Flip around seat, side mounted subframe increases or maintains ground clearance and BH positioned closer to the tractor for better weight distribution. Very nice.

Guys,
Thanks for the latest pictures of the 3054. Dewave, you noticed the same thing I did. The mfg. website lists two seats and the picture shows one. Is this correct. It seems to good to be true. I too, like the fact that the backhoe is nested very close to the rear of the tractor. I have looked at a lot of other brands and the frame mounting forces the hoe to hang way off the back. It reduces the ground clearance and I think makes traveling on anything other than flat ground unsafe. A friend of mine has warned me about how tippy they can be. My wife is even planning Saturday around seeing the tractor. That is a good sign. We started talking about a $5,000 Grey market unit and now she is up to $20,000 new 3054. She is a sweetheart to indulge me. Best not to push to much more. Besides the picture pretty much confirms my feeling about it being the one. Maybe older technology, but good basic tractor and I did like the way it felt. Of course the tax man can screw up the whole thing come Monday.

The style I have does reduce the ground clearance but for my work and for most part it has not been an issue. In my pics it may look flat but trust me it is not. There are several times when I have to slow down and think about it, not becuz of ground clearance but becuz of the tilt/pucker factor as with any tractor. Tippy, I've never heard of a tractor tipping backwards with a BH on-board.

That is a question I have also. Maybe the dealers can help here.
If you order the TLB package it looks as if you get 1 flip around seat .Correct ?
What if you ordered just the standard 3054xs, then add a backhoe, is it the same setup as the TLB package ? Or does going that route give you 2 seperate seats like most compact tractors ?

Well I just answered my own question by going to the Kioti website (there are new photos on the 3054xs and backhoe.
It looks like there are 2 seperate seats (not 1 flip over seat)
I'll attach a photo.
I'm not sure you can see it but the tractor seat is flipped against the steering wheel to make room for the backhoe seat.
