    Metric or SAE?

    I have a question for you Kioti owners. Is the hardware, bolts, etc. on Kioti tractors metric or SAE size. Being made in Korea I suspect they might be metric. I hope they are SAE dimensions as I have little in the way of metric tools and would have to stock-up on tools if they are metric.

    I am seriously considering the purchase of a DK55 and would like comments and opinions (good or bad) from DK55 owners. Also would like to know if warranty work or just general repair was any hassle or difficult to get from your dealer or Kioti. I haven't driven this tractor yet but I did like...

    HP loss in the 5000M series

    According to the 5000M tractor brochure there is a 15 HP loss between the tractor engine HP and the PTO HP rating. Why is this when the normal loss in almost all other brands and even most of John Deere's other models is usually only about 7 HP. Even in the Kubota M series (M6040, M7040 ) there...

    Considering getting a 1643

    I'm in the negotiating process with my MF dealer on the purchase of a 1648 with a FEL. Would like to hear remarks/opinions from all you present owners of a 1600 series tractor. Right now I'm trying to make up my mind between the MF1648 or a Deere 4320. Both would have the 12x12 shuttle...

    1600 Series-safety issue

    Looked over a 1643 today and really liked what I saw except for one thing, and that thing is a definite safety concern in my opinion. It concerns the shift lever for F-N-R that is on the left hand side of the steering column. It's way to long and could be easily bumped from neutral into forward...

    Tires  How many compact buyers bought these ag tires

    Just wondering how many of you compact tractor buyers bought the more aggressive ag tires with your tractors. I'm talking about the R1W and R2 tires. And the tractors I'm concerned with are the 2000, 3000, and 4000 series compacts. I'm sure these more aggressive tires will stand up better under...

    4120 Owners Beware!!!!

    Present and prospective 4120 owners beware as the owners manual you get with your tractor doesn't always coincide or agree with what is needed or can be done to your tractor. Case in point; on page 49 it says to lubricate your tie rod ends and steering cylinder joints with grease. Guess what...

    EZ-Hitch for tractors, Carter & Sons

    Would like to hear from users of Carter & Son's new EZ-Hitch for tractors. I have seen their video on their website and was impressed. A little different design than Pat's, but looks like it operates on the same principle and is considerably cheaper. You can see the video on their website...
