New equipment

[D&D]

Thanks, I was looking at modifying the bracket that holds the washer fluid to mount the slow moving vehicle sign.

I took that smv placard off. No other real place to mount on mine, the ww box doesn’t let you open the rear window If you really want one, maybe order a new sticker and put it on the triangle in the fuel tank?

Hope you like your choice of tractor. Making life easier is a good thing.

Sweet! Looks like you really loaded up on some very useful implements too.
My first thought was about that SMV sign also.
Enjoy your new machine.

Thanks!

Thanks, that sounds like a good idea!

Congrats on your new investment.
Nice setup for the front don't forget about rear attachments.

I have a box blade , rake, scraper blade and brush hog that are serviceable. They aren’t very pretty, but they get ‘er done.

Hey!!! What a fantastic new piece of equipment. I've heard that a plastic surgeon can help remove that smile without surgery - if it's beginning to hurt.

A suggestion. You need to modify your grill guard to protect your grill, radiator and battery. Sticks, limbs and stobs can find ways to do serious damage. This is what I had done to mine. There are many posts here on TBN showing what others have done also.

Thanks, I ordered a grill guard from Broken Anvil Metal Works last night. Should have it by the end of the week. I want to protect the bodywork and everything behind it.

Good looking rig. I've had a CK30 HST for 12 years with zero problems other than replacing ignition switch. Love it.

I took delivery today of the first new tractor I’ve ever owned. It is a Kioti CK3520SE HST Cab. It has the KL4030C FEL with a 66” bucket . I also bought a set of 2000 lb forks and the KG2060 grapple. I had RimGuard added to the rear tires. I also bought a hydraulic top and side link. The top and side link aren’t installed yet. I went with the R14T tires. Really excited to finally get a piece of equipment that isn’t already worn out !

Nice setup hope you work/enjoy it for many years.
Do you already have the top link installed, how it works, I have the sme setup minus the hydraulic in the 3pt. Also have you used the grapple? Enjoy

We love our 2005 CK25 HST 1270 hrs.

I was wondering if the oil filter has been protected? Years ago ran over something that ripped the filter off and broke the housing.

Yes, the top link is installed. I used it today with my box blade and it works well for fine tuning the angle. The side link is still on order. I’ve used the grapple to pull out some roots after I ground a couple of stumps. I was very happy with how it worked.
