    Bucket work with clutch /shuttle Vs hydro.

    I own both, either one works for me. I tend to be more deliberate and careful with my shuttle shift Kioti DK5510. Maybe because I have the grapple on more than a bucket.

    Pricing pallet forks

    Like others have said, look on Craigslist or Facebook marketplace for good used forks. I found mine for $250 and they were heavy duty overkill for my 55 horse tractor.

    Smoothing land - How to start over.

    I had kind of the same situation. I own wooded property with about 15 acres if fields and had it select cut timbered last summer. It rained towards the clean up phase and the logger’s tried their best to smooth out the land where they stored logs to load and had equipment, thus area was about...

    Best handheld gas blower ?

    I was looking into blower’s last year. Bought an echo and starts on the first pull even in the winter blowing out my pole barn.

    Best handheld gas blower ?

    Echo, the carburetor’s are not inside the motor like many and are easy to service. Had a repair man tell me he works on a lot of blowers but not many echo’s.

    Kioti DK5510 regen cycle

    Your probably right. I’m usually watching what I’m working on and not fixed on the dash. I’ve had no problems with my tractor so I’m guessing everything is normal and I’m just not noticing. How long do your passive regens last? 10 minutes, 20?

    Kioti DK5510 regen cycle

    Jay, what year is your tractor? If mine is in regen when I’m operating and the light isn’t on, I’ve never noticed. But your probably right that’s it’s happening and I just didn’t know at the time.

    Kioti DK5510 regen cycle

    When my dash light comes on you have to manual regen according to the information sticker. Ours are apparently different stickers.

    Kioti DK5510 regen cycle

    The instruction sticker on my tractor says to idle down then hit the regen switch. Mine apparently is a different system than yours. Maybe because of motor size a different tier?

    Kioti DK5510 regen cycle

    Acts like a loss of power, not much but I do notice. Dash light comes on to regen then you idle down hit the regen switch and it revs up and runs for 30-40 minutes and goes back to idle.

    Kioti DK5510 regen cycle

    I have a 2018, bought in 19 DK5510 shuttle shift tractor. It has 162 hours on it now and it just did its second regen. Now I know some will say I just missed it, trust me I did not. I’m the only operator and when it regens the dash light comes on and motor goes into a limp mode. Did it first at...
