Price Check Kioti DK40SE HST

Not to hijack the thread but what can I do with two rear remotes that I couldn't do with only one?

One remote to run grapple. James Koua has a great thread on fashioning an extended lever for this. I just ordered a TNT for my box blade. It gets old really quick as you continually mount/dismount to adjust top link and tilt for box blade. I should have my TNT in a week or so. Than when I am using the boxblade simple matter of using the RR levers toi adjust tilt and top link.

So 2 rear remotes for the box blade. When not using box just run a set of lines from one remote to your grapple. Be careful of deadheading. This is where you leave the detent on and risk burning out your hydraulic pump. Here is a great link on disabling the detent :

The standard RR comes with the detent feature. The second one did not. Oddly, I asked my dealer to remove detent on the remote prior to delivery and was told this was not possible. i think they were concerned about some sort of liability isue.

Clearly it CAN be done quite easily.

Anyway, get a second rear remote. Sort of like HP. Can you ever really have too much ??

Good luck.

No need to disable the detent. Just get a short piece of hydraulic hose (12-15")with male fittings and 90 degree adapters on both ends and put it in the remotes when not using it for other reasons. If the remote lever is accidentally activated the fluid will just pump in a circle and no harm is done.

Called the dealer and had them add the second remote.

Geez I have so much to learn!

Dr J, thanks for the YouTube video reference, as I need to terminate the detent operation of one of my control valves. Sure wish I would known it was this easy a few weeks ago when I had the seat and cover out to install a tool box mount for a weather sealed Fat Max 28" box, in place of the tiny Kioti standard box.

Before you disable the detent, make sure you will not be using the remotes for any implement that requires continuous hydraulic flow. Backhoe, splitter and probably a few other items would not work well if there was no detent in place. You'd have to rig some sort of bungee cord to lock them in position and that would be messy. The only downside of having a detent is that you need to be a little careful feathering the control valve if you don't want the detent to lock. There is flow through the valve before the detent cuts in so it really isn't that hard. If I were primarily using the second remote for something that needed constant adjustment like a snowblower then I'd remove the detent but otherwise consider living with it first.

Thanks for the guidance. Yes I can use the detented valve, and do not like it at all. My usage is forecast only for non-constant flow implements. And if I need a log splitter or such, I have decided I would be content with a bungee. At the present time it is an unwanted hassle to have to mess with the short stroke of the detented valve while adjusting the BB, as I usually hit the detent. If the stroke was not so short, I would be happy to leave things as they are.

I will be using the BB a lot and will have to adjust both cylinders very often in my very rocky, densely wooded, clay soil. I want the full stroke capability of the other valve with no detent.

That makes sense.

Never thought about that. Clearly an option.

Thanks.

Interesting. My dealer brought up the detent conversation himself and highly recommended removing the detent, I told him to go ahead

I asked the salesman to have service dept. remove detent. I called day before delivery to check on this and was told everything is taken care of. Upon delivery I was advised it cannot be done. I have no clue why they would not do this as they had the seat off to install the second RR.

Beats me.. mine was delivered without detents.

I recommend Paige Tractors in Paige, TX. I purchased from them a new DK40SE HST with cab, FEL, hinged box blade, used tree shears and a grapple. The price for the tractor, FEL and cab was the same as a Colorado dealer quoted for a tractor, FEL, no cab, just a canopy. Total price including all implements <$35k. All-in-all, very good dealer to work with. Price included delivery, full tank of diesel, water filled rear tires, hooks welded to the FEL bucket and they installed a GPS vehicle tracking system I shipped to them prior to delivery. Since I still live in CO (but purchased acreage in TX), we did all the negotiations via email, using the phone only after I closed on the property and was ready to order the tractor.

Rick, I am trading up to a DK40se HST from a CK35 HST and be darned can I find a list price (Canadian) on the DK40 with loader to aide in the decision making. Can you help?

I don't believe I've ever seen a MRSP for any Kioti tractor in the US or Canada. Most prices listed here are either first offer or final sales prices from individual dealers. Maybe someone else knows different.

 

[rmorey]

Well, I got a cab model, and I dont know the price difference to the open station model. However, Mine was $25,375 with free loader, 2nd remote, centre hook welded on bucket and all the filters for my first 50 hr change.

Also, he traded my 2475 hoe for th 2485 hoe for $1,200.

 

[delgra]

Thanks Island

 

[delgra]

Thanks Rick, Seems like the intent is to keep the buyers in the dark as much as possible. I think you did ok.

DK40SE HST w/FEL, R4 tires and second remote for $23k US.

 

[Illini22]

I'm also talking to a dealer about upgrading from my ck35 hst to a dk40 hst. In an email last Friday he said the free loader program had ended. Not sure if Kioti actually stopped it or hasn't updated there website. I'm not to worried about it ending thou. I'm just trying to narrow the gap between my 50 hour ck35 to the dk40.

 

[jtygoku]

$19,300 for DK40SE shuttle. R4 tires. FEL. 10 hours - so far, so good.
