Aftermarket hour meter that registers in 10ths.

Kioti must have changed the meters somewhere along the way. I've squinted, wiped dust, even photographed it so I could enlarge it. It doesn't register 10th. Anyone else have one like mine?

Same here, serial # starts with K

Thanks, murph. I'll ck my serial # when I get back. Any guess as to why they did that?

As I understand it, the later (SE?) models have a meter that reads actual elapsed time (clock hours) with no tenths, Earlier models (like my DK45S) have a meter that reads tach hours, including tenths. Tach hours are proportional to RPM and equal clock hours at PTO speed (indicated by red triangle on tachometer).

Thanks, Scott. That's good to know. Since I sometimes do tractor work for other people, I need to be able to show the exact time I spent on a job. As it is now, I can be off as much as 9/10th of an hour. So I'm going to get an aftermarket meter like the tiny tach.

My wristwatch has an elapsed time function
