ya know? ... a tractor with a soft underside is just a poor design. My Mahindra is like that. My JD and Kubota are not. When a maker doesnt go to the trouble to integrate underside components in a durable form they up their profit margin behind your back. You, on the other hand might save a little up front, but then you pay and pay into their coffers for the damaged parts resulting from your "abuse". All because theres not enuf pressure on these guys to make a tractor fit for actual utility use. Too bad people dont insist on competent machinery that doesnt have to be babied to continue to function.Jeff244 said:I have a Kioti DK65C and I keep denting the hydraulic filters and now I bent the suction tube causing a leak as well as it now sucks in air and the hydraulic system is very jumpy(at least I assume thats what is causing the problem). My property is about 95% wooded and I am making/maintaining trails and moving fallen trees often. I have a new suction pipe on order and will try to install it when it arrives(has been on back order for over a week). I have a welder but not a lot of skill with it. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff
