Holy smokes has it been a busy fall. So, the dealer did all the measurements as per requested by the engineers at the factory. He said the measurements are within normal parameters, and that they would have to come pick it up and take it back to dig into it deeper. I've been using it steadily...

Well, I was able to put about 4.5 hours on the new flail. Did my before PMCS, everything was tight and oil level good. Started off slow and easy with nothing to report. Did some cutting in 6-10" grass with a few small patches of big stem grass. Took a break an hour 20 into it and cleaned of the...

Mine got delivered and set up by the delivery man. Once I got home (after dark) I attempted to mount it, but had problems with the top link. The one I had was cat 1 for my SpeeCo QH. Quick trip to TSC for the right top link, just find out it was about 1/8" to wide to mate to the tractor. Little...

Twisting or tweaking the FEL due to operator error or exceeding the capacity happens. Generally an incident like this is human error and not equipment failure. I've learned over the years that when a piece of equipment fails it's usually 90% operator and 10% equipment. Now to the point of this...

:banghead: got my WR Long UltraJaw 72 finally. It was delivered Wednesday actually but finally got to mount it and run it through its usability. However, during my function checks I rolled the buck down just to find out that the hydraulic hoses are too short. Ended up pulling a fitting loose and...

I would be the other feller having the KL6010 on a NX6010 with an obvious droop to the right. You can see by the pics it's blatant. I did some measuring and took a pic of one measurment that didn't require two hands. The pic angles ain't the greatest but the right side measured 1/4" more than...

I think I posted about this in your thread but here it is again. Yes, mounted it to the console top with some self tapping screws. I used the adhesive pad that came with it as a shock absorber without taking the sticky cover off so it wouldn't adhere to the dash. 3 10mm bolts to loosen the...

Dealer installed my grab hooks and where they did is where he says Kioti recommends they be installed. Dunno if the dealers are following Kioti policy or making up their own rules. Here's where mine were mounted: I wasn't able to get some measurements, got home and went into carpentry mode...

I could see (in my mind) how it'd be an illusion of bucket placement other than the lift arms. I'll be out in the shop tomorrow evening and can do some measuring. Think I'll load the bucket down also to see if it levels it off. I move 22 tons of crusher run the other day and didn't think to...

Yes, I have the same thing with my FEL. I asked the dealer and he said it was normal without a load on it. I haven't dug into it deeper on here or with other FELs yet, but now seems to be good time to start addressing. Anyone else have the same situation? Pic below is from the day I picked it up...

Congratulations on receiving your new tool (toy). I'd definitely notify the dealer of the discrepancies that way they can replace, repair and correct their issues. I reckon every dealer has its own delivery protocol. I picked up mine from the dealer and it was a great presentation when I walked...

These are pics of the hood lights which are better than the halogen work lights, but obscured by the FEL at drive height. I didn't get a pic of the OEM work lights before replacing them but I wasn't able to make out terrain as well as I wanted. That's too bad about the monitor, but better...

Decided to put some modifications on my tractor. Also managed to harvest the last of the garden and till 'er up. Bout 3 lbs of jalapeños and bells.

Final prep for pickup tomorrow!!! :dance1::thumbsup:

Good day gents. First post here on TbN and I'd like to say there's a whole plethora of knowledge, advice and opinions on here. I've spent the last month reading threads, watching YouTube and driving 600+ miles to reach the point I'm at now of making this purchase. Without further ado, here's the...
