Look at the pics. Is there some trick to getting the replacement s-tine to fit on the toolbar? From the s-tine comparison they look close and I’m assuming the old ones are stretched. Did I buy the wrong tines? Any help is much appreciated. The cultivator is an allis chalmers.

My dk40 has had this issue for some time now, thankfully I don’t need the pto that much. It seems that the pto only works after the tractor warms up. It rarely/never works when I start the tractor no matter how many times I flip the switch or manipulate manual/auto or anything else. If I need...

I finally got a flail and cut today. The cut is amazing and I’m fortunate to have found a good deal on the mower. I need some help identifying what model this mower is and then any general advice would be appreciated. This mower is heavy and it looks like there is a place for gauge wheels on...

My dk40 always seems to favor the left side when picking up a decent weight with the loader/ forks. I've never had the pucker factor on the right side, it's always the left. Is this just me or are there others that have the same opinion on kioti? I need to check all the tires and confirm fluid...

I bought a 2 row John Deere planter last year with precision finger meters. I just put seed in the hoppers and planted my corn and sunflowers without any adjustment to the meters. This year I am reassembling the meters from winter storage and I can't find any info on how to tune and fine tune...

When I went to napa they had 2 air filters listed for my dk40, an inner and outer, but the manual only shows the outer filter. Is anybody running both? I bought and installed both without knowing the manual doesn't even mention the inner filter. Seems to be running fine with both installed.

Anybody know this specific style of quick connect hydraulic fitting on the kl401 loaders? I know it's 3/8 on both sides, but the type is what I can't figure out. The local hydraulic supplier didn't have it and couldn't tell me what it was. You can see the seal hanging out of the face, which is...

The belt on my dk40 will squeal on start up and go away after 30 sec or so. It will do this whether the engine is hot or cold. Any idea what would cause this and what to look at first for diagnosis? It doesn't do it every time, but at least 7 out of 10 starts.

I'm about to change the motor and hydraulic oil for the first time on my dk40se. I cannot find the oil capacity anywhere and I do not have a manual, which I need to get. Can anyone tell me what the capacities are?

I bent the ball end of my top link and I was going to weld on another, but I thought about just heating and bending it back. Any thoughts?

I might have an opportunity to pick up a bt601 backhoe at a deal, but I'm not sure if it's realistic to think that fabbing a mount to fit my kioti dk40se wont be that difficult. I figure that it's doable and maybe $500 in some metal besides what I have laying around and add a little seat to the...

I picked up this Deere fb b for $100 the other day. Fertilizer box is crap, but the seed box and small seed box are in decent shape. It will also need new seed tubes also, a few chains and lots of oil.. I figured it would be decent yard art if it needs too much repair. The main thing that I'm...

I have decided against grazon for my pasture due to the undetermined residual and my future plans on planting row crops or even trees are a possibility. I am probably going with crossbow and I was wondering if anybody ever added dicamba to crossbow for that extra punch. I can't find any info on it.

I was excited to what i thought was a great sprayer at a decent price. It is a bell equipment sprayer and i bought it new. It has 2 boomless nozzles, hand wand, etc. It says it is quick hitch compatible. I bought it new from a dealer down the road. Well, i get it home and realize that the lift...

Take a look at the attached video. My hydraulic top link is floating. Shouldn't this cylinder stay fixed, as that is the primary purpose of it... [URL] https://youtu.be/RHpf12SP8ow /URL]

I had a dumb mistake this morning. In trying to set my box blade I had the toplink extended way out and when I raised the 3pt around a turn, one of the box shanks hit my tire. It's not losing air, but anything I need to do in order to keep the tire from suffering more damage? Is there a filler I...

I have been trying to search for liquid fertilizer that I can use for my pasture and row crops and I can't find anything applicable to farming. Everything is directed towards small homeowner use. I want to try liquid vs dry, but I don't know where to turn and how much it is going to cost. I...

I tried to cultivate with my dk40 the other day and I couldn't get the 3pt arms adjusted with the pins and sleeves so that the arms would be tight. Is there a secret to this? I usually use my 2460 which has turnbuckle adjusting chains do there is no left to right movement. Anybody done any miss...

Looking for some agronomic advice here and opinions. I plant a few acre dove field annually and after the season last year, I drilled some oats and wheat along with rye(due to cheap seed) on half of it, mainly cause the seed was cheap and it gave me some tractor time. Well, now I have to deal...

I have switched my garden electric fence controller from battery to ac. Problem is that I have to run an ext cord to the controller, about 225ft from the recently installed outlet. Should there be concern with voltage drop to the controller using 18ga cord. I don't think the amp draw is much...

Is it just me or does everybody hate using a 3pt spreader? It has always made a huge mess with fertilizer all over the tractor and myself. I finally put a cover over it so that the auger doesn't spill it everywhere and I've tried some fabric between the shield and hopper to minimize the mess...

Any tips on getting this 2.75"axle nut off. I've soaked with oil and used small propane bottle to heat and this thing won't move. Last one I took off another disc was removed with torch. Would it be easier if I removed the gang from the frame. If I take my torch to the farm, I'll end up cutting...

Is it possible to fix this leaky valve stem seal without removing the tire from rim and tractor? Just just loaded my dang tires and now there's a leak..of course

I have a single shank subsoiler and I can't get this thing to penetrate more than 8 inches. I've tried every top link angle I can think of. I thought it was supposed to pull itself deeper. Is there a trick to using this thing? Is weight needed? The point doesn't look that worn out.

Anybody have any loader hose protector fabrication to share. I hate seeing those hoses and fittings so exposed. My father in law knocked one off one day and I've been determined to make some protector ever since. Any ideas

I used my Athens 14' plow the other day behind my 4230 and I had to adjust the gangs as straight as possible to pull it. I knew it would be a hard pull but I didn't think it would be that bad. My tires don't have liquid ballast and I have a set of clamp on duals I can put on. My question is what...

How far is too far to drive the tractor on the road? I have my dk40 with industrials at my house doing some projects and adding some rear lights and I've got to get it back to the farm soon, which is 12 miles away. I usually borrow my in laws f250, go get the trailer from the farm and then take...

I need to get some fuses for my dk40se and I cant remember if they are atm or ato fuses(below right side of instrument cluster). I was going to run today during my lunch break and grab a pack, but I cant remember which ones are on the tractor. I was hoping someone would know to save me the time...

Give me your thoughts on this frame. I plan on using this to attach to a toolbar for a set of planters I'm rebuilding. I was planning on adding gussets to the vertical bar, but the more I look at it, I'm not sure if the pin tabs I welded on will be able to withstand a decent amount of force. I...

I'm going to look at a 15' Athens tandem disc harrow this weekend and I'm hoping this isn't a waste of time. The harrow is setup like a smoothing harrow with 2 axles angled in and 2 out, not like an offset. I hope that description is accurate, please correct me if I am wrong. The way I calculate...

I was at the local jd dealer yesterday talking to the service manager about older tractors and so forth. He told me about a hot tip on firing up a tough starting tractor by using an oxygen tank rather than using starting fluid. I've never heard of this and I don't think it makes sense. He said...

I just added front remotes to my dk40se and now I'm looking for a 4n1 bucket. It's amazing how expensive those things are. I found a 60" at a great price, but this is 12" smaller than my current bucket. I'm trying to figure out the downsides and upsides to losing 12" of bucket, besides the...

I am planning on painting my jd 4230 this fall/winter. My concern is the outside temperature having an adverse effect on the paint adhesion. I'll be painting in a unheated and noninsulated garage. I can run a bullet heater or propane if necessary, but are there any tricks to painting when it's...

On my recently purchased used 2009 dk40se, I noticed the pto isn't engaging. The switch light comes on and I've tried fooling with the manual / auto switch and it does light up also but the shaft does not spin nor do I hear anything different when I turn the switch on. I didn't have time to...

I have briefly read some of the electrical issues with these tractors.. I just purchased a 2009 dk40se and I absolutely love it. I have noticed that the headlight switch/turn signal switch isn't perfect and if you don't get it just right then the lights wont come on. I assume a new switch will...

Does anybody know what size or style the factory remote port is for a 73 JD 4230? I know its different than what my tag along harrow is and that's about all I know. Looking at the fittings to make an adapter or something and there seem to be so many different styles and sizes, it's a little...

I'm going to look at a one row new idea corn picker today for $1700. He has one that doesn't shuck for $1500 and one that does for $1700. I know nothing about corn pickers. Is there anything that isn't obvious I need to look and by obvious I mean busted welds, cracks, bearings, chains, etc? He...

How do you tell when it's time to rebuild? I'm going to start tearing down my 72 jd 4230 in the next few months for paint and I thought I would ask if it's even worth considering doing any preventative engine work when it's not smoking blue or white and very little black. It's got 5500 hours on...

I picked up a John Deere 4230 the other day and now I'm trying find which implements I can use. I plan on putting an extra remote valve on it for a batwing setup. What is a safe disc size for this tractor? I have the dual rear wheels for tractor if needed. I didn't know if a jd 220 disc would be...

I'm about to go look at a John Deere 4520 and the guy is asking $5500. Any advice would be greatly appreciated as to anything specific to look for and what issues would be a deal breaker. It obviously needs some tlc at that price and it's been sitting for 5 years. He said it would start with...

I'm looking at a JD 4020 that is a few hundred miles away. The asking price is 8900 and hours are unknown so I'm assuming the hour meter isn't functional. The paint is good and there are no leaks although the 3pt will leak down overnight. Assuming this thing doesn't puff clouds of blue smoke and...

I need to find some V Bolts for my 3.5" toolbar. I have no idea where to find these things. They cant be that custom of a bolt. Anybody got any ideas? The toolbar is for my allis 74 planters.

I went by the Kubota dealer today and received a verbal quote on upcoming inventory. They said a MX5200, 4x4, HST, with loader was $29,900 out the door. An aux valve for the loader was $1000 and a each rear remote was $1000. I was surprised at the price. I spoke to the Kioti dealer over the...

I saw a thread where a member was disgruntled with the capacity of his JD 3038 loader capacity and performance which leads me to my own expectations and prior experience. I used to own a takeuchi TL130 rubber track loader and had hundreds of hours of seat time before I sold it and I find myself...

I'm still in search of my newer tractor and I wanted to help alleviate my concerns over HST, at least as how I vision what HST is actually like overall. I like being able to stick the tractor in gear and look behind me to watch the dirt turn or whatever- is having HST and having to keep a...

I'm in the market for buying my first "slightly used" tractor. I currently have a Long 2460 that I inherited from my grandfather and use it on our 47 acres to plow and plant about 5 acres, mainly for fun and wildlife and a little hunting, garden, bush hogging, but I really just like watching...
