A few times a month I actually need a truck. It might be loading up the back with firewood, buying trees, buying pavers, hauling my tractor, etc. The rest of my driving is taking kids places, buying small items at target, etc. I currently have a 2003 Tacoma and it's falling short for the...

My DK45SE is about to hit 50 hours and I need a parts list for the service. My deal said it would be $700 to do it or $500 for just the parts. That feels high to me. Is there a list of things I need to buy? I'd like to avoid his markup.

All stars aligned and I have to change the oil in two zero turns, a riding mower, a tractor, two cars, and a golf cart at pretty much the same time. I'm thinking that I might be a candidate for something other than running to auto zone with each trip. What do other shade tree mechanics and...

Over the last week or two sometimes when I turn the key my DK45SE makes a very slight click but doesn't engage the starter. It's the same symptom I'd have if I tried to start it with the PTO on or the tractor not in neutral. Normally I fiddle with the shifters and try a few more times until it...

I've been thinking about a batwing finish mower for the last year or so. We have 14 acres that we mow every two weeks for our great danes and kids to play in. Also, low grass seems to keep the bugs away. I've had a salesman or two tell me that my 45HP tractor (38 PTO HP) wouldn't be enough to...

I'm looking to buy a scraper blade for maintaining the swale around my house (14 acres) and next to my driveways. I also need a way to remove the occasional North Carolina snow. My 45hp tractor is about 6 feet wide but it's my understanding that people often choose a wider blade so that it can...

I have a pair of 72" zero turns and a 32" riding mower. One of the zero turns is diesel so it's pretty heavy. I'd like to buy a jack that I can use to service all of them. I don't want to throw away money on a $450 jack, like this one, but if that's the right tool for the job I'll do it. So...

I have a DK45SE that I mostly use for mowing with a shuttle shift transmission. I was just watching a youtube video that explained that with a power shift transmission you don't need to press in the clutch to go from forward to reverse. I had been pressing it every time. Do I need to?

My tractor is 45 HP and 38 HP at the PTO. The 93" Caroni Estate Mower says that it requires 45HP and I'm wondering if I'm making a mistake in ordering it? I pull an 88" Flail mower just fine but it doesn't leave as nice as cut as I'd like. Do the five small finish blades require more HP and a...

I bought a hydraulic top link for my Kioti DK45SE but when I raise the 3 pt hitch all the way it hits the top link holder (the clip holding the orange hook in the picture). I need to either take a grinder to the top link holder and remove it or flip the top link around so the hydraulics are on...

I moving and need a building or buildings that solve two problems. 1) I'm an avid woodworker. 2) I need to house a tractor, ZTR, and maybe a golf cart. I think a two car garage sized building would handle #2 but I'll probably do somebody bigger, like 30x48 for the workshop. I have the land...

I'm closing on a 14 acre property and at the moment about 8 of that is maintained with a mower (as opposed to a bush hog). It's pretty flat and there are barely any trees. It seems like an ideal place for a 72" mower to me but the guy selling them said that I should get a 60" because they are...

As far as I know the only difference between the L3301 and the L3901 is the tuning. I think it's actually software and every single part is the same. Am I right on that? If so, can you convert an L3301 to an L3901 and save a few thousand dollars?

I started another thread but I wanted to come at this from another angle. The Situation: I bought a house with 14+ acres, mostly lawn (of varying height) at the moment The future may hold a barn, horses, a good sized garden (1/2 acre?) I am new to tractors but I'm no stranger to turning a...

I've never driven a tractor before but in a few weeks I'm going to close on my dream house. It has 14+ acres of grass and very few trees aside from the 26 that line a long front driveway. I've never had a yard like this but part of my motivation in buying the house is to get outside. That...
