As I recall the 3rd function valve just bolted on right next to the loader joystick. all you have to do is remove the cover plate and stack the new valves on and they pick up the hydraulic flow through the loader valve. I was able to buy the valve from my local Kioti dealer as well as the...

It is easy enough to line it up where I want it with with hydro steering, if it is off by a 1/4 turn just turn to lock and then go 1/4 more. spin back and she's all ligned up. I really appreciate having it when i'm doing work in reverse (mostly snow blowing).

For me it isn't about the number of hours I use the machine, it is about having the right tool available when I need it. Over time the payback is in the convenience of being able to do what I need to do when I want/need to do it, not relying on others schedules or availability, not paying for...

Pretty sure you can plow with less than 40 HP Just have to use the right equipment and set your expectations accordingly.

Not sure how long the slopes are you need to cut, but have you considered an offset mower? lets you reach down a bank without getting to close.

So, here is a great example of what not to do. This guy has no idea what my experience or training is, no idea what safety equipment I was using, or what obstacles were factors in why and how I decided to drop this tree this way did, but feels compelled to launch a personal attack based on his...

That 28' orange ladder in the background. The pine tree it is leaning on is coming down next, you can see where I limbed it up to about 30 feet. I'll top it, then drag the stick over same as this one.

Just pulled this one over yesterday with a bobcat CT230. I topped it and tied on to the stick about 25 feet up and over it came, it didn't even notice the load

If you want a flowering tree that will get some size to it, I'll take a Catalpa tree. Some people complain that they are a a messy tree when the bloom and seeds are falling, but the huge leaves and flowers make up for it in my book.

From what I've seen cost runs from several hundred per tire into the thousands, depending on how big a tire you need. You will need new rims, most likely. I would start by calling some local tractor dealers and talk to them about the pros and cons of float tires. you can also go on the tire...

If the issue is soft ground what about getting a set of flotation tires for your tractor? It would let you use the tractor anywhere you have water or soft ground.

Ive got a huge rock under the grass in my yard, any ideas on how to move it would be appreciated. here's an aerial view.

Not sure if you are aware but the CT is just a Kioti CK painted white. If you need service or parts find a local Kioti dealer and they should be able to provide everything you need. The CT230 is the same as a CK30.

If you are going to use a fan, make it an intake fan that draws in fresh air and blows it across the generator. Route the engine exhaust outside and let the vents expel the higher pressure hot air from around the generator.

Nice piece of equipment, just a bit pricey for my budget!
