I hope. Thanks, everyone, for all the thoughtful posts here. This site has been a huge help for me in my quest for a good tractor. I live in eastern Washington State on 20 acres, and I really need a 4x4 helper for my trees, driveway, landscaping . . . you know how it goes!

Welcome to TBN.

Got one - 2006 Kioti DK35. Have about 3 hours on it - still learning how to use it! Anyone have links to good discussions on the differences or how to use "position control" versus "draft control", and using a box blade to maintain a gravel driveway?

Thanks!

I have a DK45 and personally i'd only use draft control for implements that engage the ground like subsoiler or plows. Ive never needed it for a box blade. If the blade hits any minor obstruction, it will raise itself, and that seems to me to defeat the purpose of blading the road in the first place.

Arnt tractors fun :licking:. I have 20 acres plus an additional 10 that we lease (take care of). id be lost without a tractor.
