Dr Orangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Kioti

[logdog]

Colud you bring that right over and spread on the wife's garden?

We have plenty of it, but it's scattered out over 14 acres and I hate picking up individual horse apples.:laughing:

With a good fork you can pick up a bunch of apples at once

Beautiful!

Congrats, I hope you have many hours of wonderful seat time on it.

Congratulations, on your new tractor; poor dealership and left foot brakes keeps me away from them, but they have some really nice features.

Great looking tractor, congrats!

My story is similar with yours, I was seriously about to buy a l3800 but with the free loader program I was able to get a dk35 for the same price with better woods implements and rear qa and forks for about the same overall price (and no jerky 3pt hitch). I was to wondering about kioti but the more and more I read from you guys I felt more and more confident. In addition I got the cruise control, rear remote and auto pto on top of more loader capacity and standard ssqa on the loader. I know it's only been a day but I'm so glad I decided to run with the pack as you did

My wife used it last night and also was impressed with how quiet it is in comparison. It will get its first real workout this weekend. I am enjoying all the "premium" feature alot. It is hardly any work at all to hook up an implement with the telescoping ends and I love the rear handle to operate the height. Still have my BX1860 and it does all its jobs fine so Kubota still gets to keep some representation in the barn.

The "premium" features are nice eh! I like rear 3pth control as well, but just watch what you are doing back there. I haven't had any problems dropping things on my feet or having an implement swing around on just the bottom arms but I can see how it could happen if I don't pay attention to what I'm doing back there.

Yep. Im going to get so spoiled I will want one of those heated steering wheels Ive seen advertised in my car! . But seriously, I never knew what I was missing.

Wait until its in low range, 4wd, and diff is locked, and THEN you'll know how powerful it really is!! :thumbsup:

I enjoy my DK40 HST much more than my old gear LB1915. I still forgot I have to just push a pedal to reverse direction. I find my hand reaching for the shuttle lever.

I discovered a fatal design flaw today. There isnt a cup holder!

Behind the seat on the right above/behind the 3PH levers?

If it ain't there someone stole it.

If it's not where these guys suggested, we need pictures for proof. I don't own one, nor recall from the last time I sat on one, but I can't imagine it would be without a cup holder.

 

[k0ua]

All the ones I saw had a cup holder. and in fact a storage cubby with a lid on the other side you could put a drink or a sandwich and chips. or a small self defense item is you so desired. Oh by the way Log I swapped for a DK35se Saturday and hope ot have it delivered in about a week and a half or so.

Maybe in your neck of the woods, Murph

The little storage cubby lid breaks in little children's hands very easily...
