I am planning out my garage for a new build. I plan on working on my cars, tractor and UTV in this garage. Which would be the best way to go? A lift, if that is even possible with a tractor considering how back heavy it is, or a mechanic's pit? FYI. Tractor (Kioti DK6010SE + filled tires) is...

I've been clearing some land for awhile. As a result I've accumulated a lot of organic waste. Hiring someone to haul it off is going to be too expensive. What I can burn, no larger than 5" diameter, I have been. What I need to figure out is what to do with the rest of it. As you can see in the...

I have a piece of rolling land and I am at a point where I am considering filling a low point on the land (pictures below). What I am trying to determine is what is best to fill it with. I have a variety of materials handy. Everything from dirty fill(loam, twigs, small rocks, roots), to regular...

I have a few stumps this size and a bit bigger. I've done completely around them but they do not budge. Any tips how I might be able to get them out? I'm running a CAT 306 which I believe is around 15,000 lb. I want to say that I pulled a stump out bigger than this with roughly the same size...

Ok. I am deferring to the power of group think here. Here is my situation. I need to trench 300' for electrical and telecommunication conduit. Electrical is 3" wide conduit and telecommunication will be 2" conduit. The minimum depth for electrical is 30". I am trenching from a pole that is...

This is more specific to my UTV than my tractor but I am trying to find a replacement for the 4 wing nuts and screws that hold the battery cover on. In my mind there must be something like the clamps on my tractor's air filter where it is as simple as flipping a piece of metal in the opposite...

I have been considering getting a log splitter when I heard somewhere about a log splitter as a tractor attachment. Don't know why I didn't think of looking for that earlier. My question is this. Are they worth it? Some of the prices I've seen are on par with a stand alone splitter. I'm...

I'm trying to find a definitive answer as to what coolant to use in my Kioti. My dealer said 50/50 green or yellow. From what I've read color doesn't necessarily tell the whole story. I plan on asking the dealer a followup question but wanted to see what the community recommends.

Ok. This might be a little odd. I don't own a pickup or trailer yet and I need to get my tractor to the dealer. They used to pick it up and drop it off for $200 but they informed me they've been losing a bunch of money and have bumped up the fee to $450. Besides 'knowing someone' that I can...

I have a Kioti DK6010SE and I am looking for a post hole digger. I've seen the typical ones that attach to the 3pt hitch but I've also seen post hole diggers like the Digga that attaches to bucket. I have an Everything Attachments Wicked bucket and a 3rd function kit for my grapple. Are the ones...

I changed the o-rings on this connection to the hydraulic pump but it looks like fluid is still leaking out at the connection. What am I missing?

The manual I have says there is a bleeder valve that should be removed while filling but there is no picture of it. I don't have the parts manual so I haven't been able to locate it that way. Anyone know where to find it on my DK6010SE?

I'm looking at replacing the radio in my Kioti DK6010SE can. I have all of the push pins removed but the liner won't come down. Looks like I need to remove the temp controls, the radio and the cab light but I can't figure out how to do that? Any suggestions or manuals I can reference?

I've been using the Rotella T6 for my engine oil in my Kioti DK6010HSE. I'm at my 400hrs and need to replace all the hydraulic fluid now. The manual recommends the following Daedong: UTF55 or equivalent fluid oil Equivalent options include: Shell: Donax-TD ExxonMobil: Mobilfluid 424 or Exxon...

Question. I notice the my ag couplers are leaking on my grapples and at my loader. I've cleaned them up before and tested and didn't se a leak but by the end of a long day running the tractor I am seeing leaks in both locations. Is the heat or the work I am putting them through causing the leak...

I was up under my DK6010 this weekend, troubleshooting a problem, when I notice that it looks like I have some type of oil leak out the side of the tank? I couldn't tell exactly where the leak was happening but I noticed a wire coming out the side that was caked with oil and dirt. What would be...

I was recently driving around in my DK6010. All of a sudden I started hearing and feeling a clunk. I got up under the tractor and found a stick lodged in there and I thought that might have been it. No luck. I drove it around some more and noticed that the clunking would happen as I hit bumps...

I found out, this weekend, that I left a couple of the plastic gas cans on my property, filled with diesel. They had the caps on and were under a tarp but I am concerned for 2 reasons. 1. The diesel is probably somewhere between 6-8 months old 2. Could it be contaminated with water in those...

Swapping out the upper cylinder on my Kioti DK6010SE. Curious if those hydraulic hoses sealant or not.

I am planning a gravel driveway for a new build and have a few questions since I've never had a gravel driveway before. I have started on some preliminary work which I think is necessary. so far I've scraped all the organic materials from the entire driveway. In some places I am as much as 12...

Was moving some rocks today when all of a sudden I saw my loader cylinder dangling. Looks like a break at the weld. I am thinking this can just be repaired. Is that the case or do I need to buy a replacement?

I came across this trailer frame near me and was thinking that I might get it. I'm considering converting it into a mobile office, equipment trailer or a dump trailer. Will this work? Does it look in good enough shape? What should I look out for before buying it? What improvements would need to...

I'm working on a new home build which is on a slope. It's going to have a walkout basement so part of the slope is taking care of but the rest I need to backfill. Trying to figure out what is the best approach to do this. Do I need to remove the organic material off the top before adding in fill...

I have some land where we have a slope that we need to back fill to get up to level with the grade around the house to extend the usable area. I'm thinking I am going to need to add soil in lifts and do some compaction so the new fill doesn't just slough off. Buying or renting something seems...

This is probably somewhat of a newb question. I have a Harbor Freight winch and was originally thinking I'd have to attach it to the back with a towing receiver or some configuration like that. Then I noticed the front of my tractor has this plate on the front as shown in the image below. Can a...

I'm trying to find a reasonably priced way of getting spare keys for my tractor. The dealership sells them for $22 a pair(plus a 40 minute drive both directions). One parts store online says I need part #TG35-0114A (for $40) but a search on Google tends to bring up the exact OEM replacement...

This has probably has been asked dozens of times with a different model but I am going to ask anyways. I have a Kioti DK6010SE in need of an oil change. What oil is recommended. The manual lists: Tier2 or 3 (Without dpf) - ApI Ch grade above Tier4 (With dpf) - ApI CJ grade above SAE 10W30...

I'm looking for a telescoping boom pole to put up trusses on a garage and shed or some other tool that would do the job. Any suggestions?

I'm looking at buying a used excavator. It'll likely be an older, high hour excavator since I don't have a large budget. What should I look for? Are there any particular repairs I should stay away from? Any other telltale signs of an excavator that hasn't been taking care of?

I have a Kioti DK6010SE Cab and man is is it filled with dust and dirt. What is the best way to clean out the cab? What about the tractor as a whole. Can I pressure wash it without damaging anything?

I have a backhoe for my Kioti DK6010. It currently has a mechanical thumb which I find pretty limiting. I am exploring adding a hydraulic thumb so I can do things like build rock walls with it. Any suggestions?

Hi all. My DK6010 has been a real workhorse since I got it. I got it with something like 36 hours on it and I've recently topped 200hrs. Yesterday I ran into a problem. It ran ok and then started running rough. Shortly after that it sputtered and died. I have CEL light on on the dashboard. I...

I have a Kioti DK601 and I'm considering buying a hydraulic top link. I'm looking for recommendations around brand, size, etc. Whatever is needed to make the decision. Any suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated.

When I bought my Kioti DK6010 part of the financing included the insurance. After nearly a year of paying on the tractor I am wondering if that is actually the best way to go. It only covers the tractor and attachments I bought from Kioti. I have since bought other attachements and have a mill...

I added a 3rd function kit to my tractor and it leaks on both ends where the hoses run to the attachment to where they tie into the hose that run to the 3rd function housing. I recall using thread sealant somewhere along the path but I don't recall exactly. Does it make sense to use thread...

My Kioti DK 6010 3-point hitch is not going up or down. Thought it might be low hydraulic fluid but I just filled it up and it still doesn't move. The valve under the seat is fully open so it's not that. I had just taken the backhoe off when I discovered that this wasn't working. Any ideas?

Been looking for hydraulic fluids for my DK6010. The manual Daedong UTF55 or equivalent such as, Mobifluid 424, Shell donax-Td, Exxon hydraul 560 or BP Tractran UTh. None of these are in the shelves locally. Would Tractor Supply's Universal work or maybe another brand?

Installed my DKA144 3rd function valve kit per the instructions and I have leaks. The directions say noting about using teflon tape or threadlock. I have leaks however. Got the hoses and couples threaded together pretty tight. Not really sure what is going on though. Was I supposed to use some...

This might be a completely ridiculous question. But honestly I never thought of it until I busted out the window on my cab. I'm assuming that the underlying tractor is the same as a tractor with ROPs and can be exposed to the weather without worry. Of course there's the issue of a wet seat and...

I have a 12K lb Harbor Freight winch. I see there is a towbar adapter to attach one of the many winch mounting plates out there. Quest is what is the best way to get power to that winch?

I'm getting a 3rd function kit and some attachments and was wondering what is the best coupler to go with? Seems like the flat face couples always come as an option for attachments for some extra $$$. Are they worth the extra money?

I'm going to throw this out there because I am really curious. What is the differences that would make one better than the other? For example how does the the EA Wicked 60 measure up against the HI Root Grapple Pinnacle series? EA Wicked 60...

I'm looking at planting a row of bushes. My first inclination was a hand-held auger but that might be a rough go with holes maybe getting to 10". I could use a smaller bit and drill multiple holes and try and combine them into a larger hole but when you are talking something like 50+ holes like...

So I watched a bunch of videos for trimming my PTO down to size. Amazing how many variations there are. The one that seemed to keep coming up was to measure the distance between the ridge in the two shafts. Then I would cut down the PTO by however many inches it took to get to that length plus...

I've got a Kioti DK6010Se (60kp) and happened to find several plants, we wanted to eventually plant, for 50% off at Home Depot. Now, they are going to be planted on land we are clearing. No well or water source yet on the property. I was thinking I could get something like this which would be...

I'm getting a used Kioti DK6010SE and only realized recently that it didn't have the telescoping and sway/stabalizing bars and draft links. Was doing some Googling and I can't seem to find the part numbers or 3rd party kits. Can any Kioti owners point me in the right direction?

I'm getting a Kioto DK6010SE HSA. Total hydraulic flow is 16.49 gpm. The loader shows 9.62 gpm Rated Flow (Tractor System). Is the 9.62 what is available for the 3rd function valve or is there some other number I should be looking for it can calculate?

I'm just going to throw this out there before I get deep down the rabbit hole of figuring out what grease, grease gun and zerk attachments I need. Subject pretty much says it all. Is that a winning combination? Sure, it is probably more expensive than if I nickle and dime everything but from...

I've been filling up the forum here with a bunch of questions and I apologize because I know there are fork conversation here but I could not find them. At least not for a tractor my size. Then again, I have only a limited amount of time in my day to search and read. That being said what would...

Ok. So I've seen a Kioti made 3rd function kit(DKA144) that looks super easy to install (video below) but I haven't found a dealer that sells it. Seems like most are installing the WR Long branded one. Is the WR Long any better? If so where is the best place to buy it?

I'm looking to buy a PTO chipper. Originally, I was looking at the Woodland Mills WC68 but that was when I was getting a 40HP tractor. Now that I am getting a 60(57.7) HP tractor with 44.9 HP at the PTO I am looking to size up. The thinking is that the WC68 is rated up to 50 HP at the PTO which...

I came across the Multilander by Woodland Mills(video below) but it appears they don't make/sell it anymore. Too bad because it looks really useful. I found this brand(MUTS - Multi-Use Trailer System for your ATV, Quad and 4 Wheeler) but it doesn't look as robust. Anyone know other brands out...

I need to push some fairly large rocks around. I've was able to push many of them with a 70 hp mini excavator with a blade but I am wondering what I can do with a 60 hp tractor. I'm guessing the weight of the equipment and it being able to maintain traction is probably part of the equation...

I was originally going down the path is a rock/skeleton grapple to soft all the debris on it if the loam as I clear land but I am second guessing that idea. I'm starting to think having specialized equipment might be more efficient. That's why I'm now considering just buying a rock/skeleton...

I've been looking at implements for clearing and working some land. A grapple is a must since I have a lot of brush and logs to move but after that I was looking the next implements to prep for grass. Originally I was thinking if I got the right grapple then all i would really need is a...

I am most likely buying a used 2021 Kioti DK6010. I can get a new Kioti backhoe with a $1000 rebate bringing the price down to $9000. I am wondering, is this the best way to go? Is there a really good aftermarket backhoe that I should consider that will save me a decent chunk of change? The 2021...
