I知 still getting used to this new machine. I sure does make handling round bales easier and safer. I致e removed what Kioti calls a tool box and installed a real tool box. I知 curious about this warming up in cold weather. I think I could let it run all day and the temp needle woudnt budge. It starts very easy at zero and the hydraulics work fine 10 seconds later. I let it sit for a few minutes while I open gates and doors and then drive easy to where the bales are about 300 yds away. Letting it sit idling for 30 minutes seems nuts! Am I doing the wrong thing?
Another issue is the seat. I can稚 tip it over when I get off and it痴 raining or snowing. The choice is a wet *** or a wet glove. Any suggestions/ideas? Also on the seat, the foam is rock hard in cold weather. I got on the Kubota the other day and it was cushy. I prefer cushy, any ideas?

Hi Steve,

I live just off the hill in Little Marsh. I'd check with Hess Farm Equipment over in Canton. Very Nice folks and a good Kioti dealer. I can't tip me seat either. Try a heavy garbage bag over the seat if you leave it outside. Welcome to the Pack.
