I was told the Kioti canopy was not worth it any ways.
Now I have done it! What a mess!

I have one. It's OK but not a reason to wait for the tractor. Only takes 45min to install and easy to do.

Nah, ya just gotta take'm off and patch'm up. Been there, done that. I have all sorts of weird bracing, dowels, plastic welding, bolts and Lord knows what else holding mine together today. Stronger than when it was new but admittedly a bit uglier. Still keeps the sun and rain off though.:thumbsup:

Two weeks seems like a long time to wait for a tractor....especially one in stock.....our dealer in Oklahoma often delivers within a couple of days....what I liked best is you deal with the same person beginning to end.....selling, financing, delivery, and final walk around and demonstration.....their sales people even help in parts if you want them too. I have enjoyed their service....and so have many others that recommended them. Hope you get your tractor soon....if not I bet they could have you one in a couple of days.

Ok NOW I am a member of the pack
I went out with the wife and worked with the Kubota till almost dark, using up "their" hours and Fuel. :laughing: just parked it and here he comes up the road.:cool2:
Gets out and says " Hey I don't have to take that Kubota back with me tonite do I" I have another tractor the size of the Kioti to pick up on the way home".. I said you can do what you want with it but it is yours, If you want to leave it set tonite I don't care. He grumbled something about a "salesman" and put the Kubota on the trailer and chained it down and drove off. It was pretty dark by the time he got turned around and down the road.. See the pix of my L3400HST. the Kioti DK35se and the Kubota going bye-bye. Then my first start on the new rig, and checking out that 3pt hitch. I got the Ballast Hooked up in the dark with the help of the wife, and it is more stable with the gravel scooping:thumbsup:. Even with the loaded tires ( I checked) the Ballast made a big difference with that full bucket of 0-3/4 gravel. First impressions. are WOW that dang loader is fast.. almost too fast, and who was that idiot that did not put a bend in the joystick so that it does not hit your leg? Will take a while to get used to the feel of every thing.. Oh I took one pix of the old L3400HST floorcovring I put on about 18 months ago. to show how well it had held up.. As for the canopy it is supposed to be a steel canopy, If I ever see it:laughing:

Hmmm ... Switching from Kubota to Kioti ... You must've had all your towels monogrammed with a K??
