Unsettled or cold feet...

   / Unsettled or cold feet... #31  
I am looking at a new tractor in the near future…..unless I can figure out my current issues and/or get parts. My DK45S is a 2009. Was needing seals for loader cylinders (kl1470). Obsoleted by kioti, apparently. Had incident with front lamps….can’t find the parts…now I am gun shy with overseas tractors. I am not a fan of the newer tractors with electronic boards and emissions. Maybe I should just get a jack a - -…..I here there are lots of them outta work.

Needing cylinder seals and light bulbs every 15 years? ...well, shame on them.
Maybe a jack a lantern is the answer.
Or maybe not.

You don’t need ORM for loader seals. Any hydraulic shop can source seals that will fit.

I am aware on that, I was merely pointing out that parts are an issue(from kioti) starting at about the 10 year mark. Cylinders issue has been resolved, bit getting other parts is hope and prayer.

Not light bulbs, headlight housing, miscellaneous. Electrical, some hard parts. Either no longer available or incredibly expensive. Dealer alerted me to the “obsoleted by kioti.” It used to be a requirement for manufacturers to maintain parts availability for 20 years, those days are long gone.
