Kioti Handled the NH 479 Haybine great

Very pleased with my DK50 Hst. It handled my NH 479 9FT cut haybine very well on my slopes and side hills. Ran it no problem in 2wd, was plenty of tongue wait so it did not push me around. I cut 10 ac. and did a little of the tedding with the DK50 and all of the Raking. Started baling and hay was still to wet after being on the ground for 4days. Tedded it 3 times. Made 85 small square and decided to quit, was just to wait. Now go rain on the way so i'm going to have to deal w/ it getting wet for a few days and see what i can do with it after the rain comes threw.

I'm very pleased w/ the my DK 50 HST, oh ONE minor set back bolt on the hydrualic pump worked loose and sprayed a bunch of fluid out. Tighten it up and was good to go.

Most mower conditioners nine foot wide only need thirty horsepower.

Yea i knew i had plenty of HP to run it, no problem, but there's a lot of weight there pushing you around from what i was told i would have to be careful on my hills. But iw as fine, was just simply impressed w/ the DK 50. There may be a bigger heavier tractor in the future when i start pulling a wagon behind and a kicker possibly.
