    Comparison Bobcat tractors vs. Kioti models?

    I really like Kioti products, but in the US, I believe bobcat will easily match Kioti volume soon. Our local Bobcat dealers have not picked up tractors. Bobcat is selling locally thru established mult-line tractor dealers versus Kioti lawn care dealers. Like you, I found comfort in the...

    Thank you. I wasn’t aware of Agri Supply. They do seem to carry numerous parts for disc harrows.

    Disc Harrow  Restoration Tips

    Any recommendations where to find parts for a functional restoration? Bearings, disc pans. I’d also welcome tips on rust removal. Is this a job for sand blasting? Model MF 21. It looks like the frame rust is surface only. It was buried in the woods for 20 years. Manufactured in Detroit...

    Anybody use a mobile cellular booster?

    I could not complete a Verizon mobile phone conversation without dropping calls Inside my home. Outside, I received 1-2 bars depending on location. I purchased from Wilson Electronics. This company improved my coverage inside the house ; now 2-5 bars depending on location. It is not cheap ...

    Ideas for service ramp

    Thanks for feedback and idea’s. My chest (& waist, elbows) barely fit between the ground and loader frame. My goal is to simplify fluid change, and torque loader frame bolts as needed. I’ve probably over-thunk this activity; I’ll use the loader to lift and support with 2x10’s, etc.

    Ideas for service ramp

    What are you using to lift your tractor for service ? I’d like to build wood cribs, or ramps to elevate the tractor. I’m working on grass so jack stands are possible if placed on something solid. I’d prefer a wide drive on ramp, using a farm jack to lift the tractor feels risky. I’ve looked...

    Valve adjustment at 800 hour service for Kioti DK45S

    I have the Bobcat 4045. It is a Daedong 2021 engine. The procedure is described in the service manual is 1 page. I suspect your engine is almost identical.

    selling a (used) bx2660 potential buyer wants it w/out the loader, advice& value please

    I suspect, the buyer is removing the loader because he does not have cash; everybody wants a loader. The buyer is not qualified.

    Grapple style preference

    My personal assessment is #2 is better at raking material backward, plucking limbs off trees and picking large rocks. #1 is equal or better for most anything else. For a compact tractor (if you wait 90 days) with limited lift capacity, you can’t do better than everything attachment. Compact...

    Comparison Bobcat tractors vs. Kioti models?

    I’m a new Bobcat owner. I recently compared 4000 series tractors. While the Bobcat and Kioti tractors are both made by Daedong, the models are not identical. For example the Bobcat 4045 SST has a turbo charger. The DK4510 is natural aspiration and both have the same gross power and PTO power...
