at my job the printer can scan and recognize each letter and make a PDF with it and look like I have type it. Just need to make the PDF index.
you'll be glad if you bite the bullet and buy the real manual, it come with section and some of the page are even in color plastified, never seen a manual made that nice.

I do like paper manuals also, but I do want to point out the manuals I bought from EBay have sections and are color.

the CK20S is another story, the manual sold online is for your tractor. About the EX40 vs DK40... not too sure

Good point. I have the one for CK20S/CK22/S and another one for the CK25, CK27, CK30, and CK35(2009 version). They seem to be the real thing. I can't speak to the larger tractors. :thumbsup:

The DK451 digital manual (that used to be on the Australian site) is IDENTICAL to the paper service manual I bought for my 2006 DK45S. Unfortunately, the newer engine configuration (which started in 2005) is not covered in the in either manual (I have confirmed that it is the correct manual for my tractor, according to Kioti). On the plus side, the EX manual does cover the motor that's actually in my tractor.
