How do the lift cyliders work in series???

Oops my bad. I confuse the terms. Correct term is parallel. Fluid goes to each cylinder input and back. The lift capacity is roughly the combined capacity of the two cylinders when they are joined together.

Oops my bad.

QUICK, SOMEONE MARK THE CALENDAR!!!.....

Sorry Bob.. couldn't help it.... you've been kicked around so much in here I didn't figure you'd notice a little poke in the ribs from me...

Heck I've been wrong before and admitted it. I don't mind. I do try to learn from my mistakes. But I do make them from time to time, and sometime I get confused and just screw up.

Take a look here, make sure I didn't screw this up too much: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachments/95679-fel-capacity.html
I went with published numbers but had to extrapolate others so it is subject to correction.

Actually the Kioti numbers are incorrect. The DK45S uses the KL451 loader, not the 1470 loader. I think you will find the KL451 loader capacities much higher than the 1470 loader.http://www.kioti.com/attachment_kl451.html

Thanks for the clarification... I was scratching off what little hair I have left trying to figure out how that would work.

Actually.... You can use three loaders... the 1470S, the 1590S, and the 451 you mentioned. The 451 is likely to have the best specs, the 1470 the worst.....

This reminds me of the Kubota L3130 tractor, it has multiple loaders as well. The 723 is the most capable, but my local dealer says the 513 is the better seller on the L3130 because it costs less. So of the various loaders available for the DK45s I'd have to wonder which one has the most sales? The least expensive? The most capable?

Thats interesting. Of all the 45S owners I know, including myself, the 451 loader was the only option. The other loaders from what I have seen were mounted on the older style 45 not the 45S. My 45S came from Kioti with the 451 loader already installed. I had no choice. I'm very pleased and impressed with the 451 capabilities. Those tractor companies sure don't make anything easy when they have different loaders for the same tractor. Sure have to be careful when comparing numbers. I can see where some would get confused.

From what I assumed when I bought my 45S was the 451 loader was an update and improvement over the other loaders with stronger lifting capabilities because of more pump capacity (about 2 gpm) in the 45S model over the 45. I just used mine to plow the drive, it is fast and strong with good curlback.
