I just checked the prices for the fender and frame assembly for my DK45. Can anyone tell me where I can find DK45 parts cheap? I don't mind paying OEM prices for engine parts but for body parts I much rather find 3rd party cheap ones.

Last Sunday my friend was in Rome, Italy. His hog trap sent a signal telling him that there were pigs in his trap. He looked at the video and triggered the trap. Then he texted me to go get the pigs. I now have one ready for the pig roast this coming weekend :) I'm sure y'all got plenty of...

I have an old tractor with the following history: 1. I was duped when I bought it used. It had a whole lot more hours than I was told and I was not knowledgeable enough to tell the difference. I found out much later that the odometer has been replaced so the 1000 hours or so was a lie. 2. It has...

Here is my situation: Equipment I own: 6ft rotary cutter, 6 ft box blade, a broken 6ft flail mower that I just might repair some day, a Kioti DK45 with FEL that has been flooded in two hurricanes, a Kubota T2080 riding mower to cut grass immediately around my house. Land: 7 acre homestead half...

I just bought a used T2080. The oil looks OK but I'd like to replace both the oil filter and the hydraulic filter. Where can I buy parts for this mower at reasonable price?

Last weekend I bought a 2009 Kubota T2080 mower for mowing around the house. While it has some nicks and dings and a couple broken knobs (deck height and choke) and generally is in rough shape, it runs and cuts just fine. I paid $500 for it. It that a fair price?

I have a DK45 with shuttle shift 8 gears (4 L and 4 H). The 4 high gears I absolutely cannot use. Each time I put it in any one of those gear, no matter how much I rev up the engine, as soon as I clutch it in, the tractor goes to the neutral position on the shuttle shift. When I operate with the...

My edge of my pond is overtaken by the cattails. I've search the internet and here for a solution that doesn't involve chemicals and haven't found anything I like. I don't like the pond shear where you toss it in and drag out a little bit at a time. I don't have a back hoe with reasonable reach...

I've been trying to stock my pond to no avail. No matter how many bass and bluegills I put in, they just disappear. At first I blame the gators but I know my neighbors' ponds have gators and still have fish. So yesterday I fish my pond with a saltwater lure instead of the soft water lure I've...

My trailer was bought mostly to tow my tractor around so it doesn't get much use. It seems that every time I use it I have to fix a dead trailer brake battery. Has anyone of us here ever replace the trailer brake battery with capacitors? I think capacitors will be superior to batteries in this...

The bottom of my front axle bevel casing is leaking oil severely (see attached picture). I think there is a plug there that has corroded through from the outside. I'm now looking for help in replacing that plug.

The bottom of the housing of the right front axle of my 4wd DK45 rusted through and sprung a leak. What do I do? Put more money into this rust bucket or dry it out and try JB weld? I'm not even sure I can dry it out well enough for the epoxy to stick.

The timer on my Maytag washer has failed. I've bought a new washer/dryer at my lady's request. Replacement timer cost is roughly $150 (They range from $137 to $240). Can the timer be repaired? The washer is fine otherwise. I just want to fix it so I can give a functioning washer/dryer set to...

I need to remove the pulley of my flail mower so I can replace the bearings. It is one of those taper fit pulley. Unfortunately I stripped the threads of 3 of the six holes where the jack studs push the "swellable" taper part out. So now I'm stuck. What should I do next? Drill and tap new...

My situation: Live in a rural area. Have a Lincoln AC/DC 225. Have a 1000 gallon propane tank so my propane supply is practically endless. My skill level: Novice at best so you can say I'm pretty much a beginner. My torch need: Mostly heating and cutting. Every now and then I'll need to do some...

The hydraulic steering cylinders of my old DK45 are leaking badly. I suspect worn seals. Since I don't want to take the tractor to the far away dealer, how do I take those steering cylinders off so I can get them serviced?

After suffering through 2 hurricances (Rita and Ike), all the hydraulics on the KL249 loader of my Kiotic tractor finally gave up. The lines are all rusted and all the connectors are beyond reuse. I took all the lines, hoses, and cylinders to several local shops. I received quotes totaling...

The crappy $9000 flood recovery job the dealer did on my tractor way back when it was under hurricane water came back and bit me on the ***. They did not desalt the tractor and now every thing rusted away. This past weekend I had to take every single hydraulic lines and hoses off and just hauled...

The Kioti devil went down to Louisiana, he was looking for a soul to steal. He was in a bind 'cos he was way behind and he was willin' to make a deal. When he came across this Cajun rasslin' with wrenches and cussin' in the heat. And the devil jumped upon a cypress stump and said: "Boy let me...

The recent two hurricanes (Rita & Ike) eroded huge chunks of the pad around my house. I recently bought 50 truck load (16 yd3 each) and they are piled up on my pad in individual piles next to one another. I received an estimate for $1000 for spreading it and I don't have the money. I'm planning...

I'm tired of pumping grease into grease zerks all over my tractors. This past weekend I had to replace the hydraulic cylinders on my FEL. Surplus supply were selling them cheap but the only problem was that the ends were 1 1/4" diameter instead of 1" on the old cylinders. Plus the ends didn't...

I'm posting outside the Kioti forum to catch a wider audience. I need to replace the bucket cylinder of a KL249, which was actually a Rhino 2409 made by Rhino for Kioti. I found a cylinder on the Surplus Center ad on TBN that appears to be the same as mine. However, the maximum pressure rating...

I have a serious fuel leak some where around the fuel tank. I can't see the leak and need to take the fuel tank out to find it. Normally I would take it to the dealer but my tractor was flooded during the 2005 hurrican Rita and has problem galore so bringing it there will be too costly for me...

I tried to start my DK this morning and heard first some ticking on the left side of the panel. Then about a second later there are more ticking on the right side of the panel and the tractor will not even try to start. Can you help? I don't know much about the electrical stuff on the DK so I'm...

After my tractor was flooded during hurricane Rita, I brought it in for service. I was charged an arm and a leg $8K for the repair. Being so busy to repair my damaged houses, I never paid much attention to my DK45 and just barely use it with minimum maintenance. Shortly afterward, the PTO failed...

During hurricane Rita in 2005, my DK45 was submerged in salty storm water. I got the tractor back up and running but forgot to completely clean the seat. Well, enough salt water stayed in the cushion and totally rusted out the entire seat. I sat in the seat yesterday and it just fell apart. The...

I would like to put in a hydraulic top link for my DK45. What's the correct size and type of cylinder? I'm thinking 3"x10"x1.25' (18.25" - 28.25"). Thanks for your help

I go this from One Reason Why Our Prisons Are So Full In Albuquerque, NM. a guy tried to steal a trailer from a home improvement store. So he goes and hooks one up to his truck, he gets about two miles from the store when the trailer pops off the hitch and goes off the road. He goes back to get...

I lost all keys to my DK45. How do I get replacement keys?

I haven't had to use my PTO for a while and now when I tried to turn it on, I've got nothing. The local tractor guy who's been helping me told me that the internal solenoid in the transmission is not working and I need to bring it to the dealer. Since a Kioti dealer is almost 80 miles from me...

I have a Toyota Tundra that has a listed towing capacity of 7000 lb. I have a Big Tex trailer model 10EQ that weighs 2350 lb. My tractor is a Kioti DK45 with FEL. Without the box blade or cutter, I think I am very close to the towing capacity limit already. What kind of problem will I have if I...

My Kioti 45 clutch is killing me. The spring is so hard it causes a lot of stress on my knee. After only a couple of hours, I am shot. I am looking for a way to make it a bit easier to press on that pedal.

4 weeks and $5000 lighter, I finally got the DK45 back and running. I worry about premature rust. I still have two heavily damaged houses to fix so time is a at a premium. I'd like to find some way that I can defer repainting the tractor to some time in the future. What would you suggest? BTW...

Rita surely will flood out my tractor. I probably won't be able to get to my tractor for 10 days. What should I do afterward to get my tractor back working again?

I am having a leak on the front axle of my DK45. I will order a service manual. In the mean time, if any one has a DK45 service manual, I'd appreciate it if I can get a few scanned page of the front axle. Thanks in advance.

My 4WD DK45 has developed a leak at the left front axle. While handy and capable of wielding a wrench, not being a mechanic I am uncertain as to what to do next. Any suggestion would be truly appreciated.

I need to get a rotary cutter. I got a Kioti DK45. With 45 HP I am thinking about either a 6 or 7 ft cutter. Here is what I found so far used: 6 ft International 8 yr old with slip clutch $400 condition fair. 7 ft Modern 5 yr old 100 HP gear rating, slip clutch, some rust on top deck $800...

I went by a storage yard in Houston and saw 30 huge Agco DT180 & DT160 tractors next to about 120 Massey Ferguson tractors of all size. First pic is a pic of the Agco tractors.

As promised, here a pic of my DK at the property. I think the beast think it belongs here.

I was seriously looking at the 4530. Got a really nice quote from Knox tractor in Houston. I was going to see it before buying this Saturday, but then I ran into a good deal with a used Kioti. Still the Mahindra impresses me a lot. Thanks everyone for your advice and info.

I just got a used DK45. Usually when I buy a used car, I give it an around around service. This is my first tractor, what do you suggest?

Bought a used DK45 467 hrs with KL249 FEL for $11,000. How did I do? Tractor seems to be in good shape. I will post some pics as soon as I get it to my house. Edited to correct model number for the FEL.

I found a classified ad for a DK50 with loader and a 6ft cutter 385 hrs for $14,000. Is this a good deal?

I found an advertisement for 1998 LK 3054 with FEL 820 hrs. Asking price is $6500. I am told the tractor is in running condition. What is a good price for such a used tractor?

I am digging a 250ftx150ftx8ft pond and using the dirt to build a 225ftx160ft housepad, and 1100ftx15ft driveway. We first planned to use a huge tractor with a 30 yd3 dirt pan but couldn't fit him in our schedule. Now we are using a track hoe and dump trucks combo to do the work. I'll be posting...

Soon I'll be unloading 40 heavy timbers (12"x12"x20ft). Each of them weighs 1,100 lbs. I'll have to unload them off a 18 wheeler flat bed using the FEL. The FEL is rated for 2500 lbs so I think I am OK as far as capacity goes. I need to unload them safely and without damaging the sides of the...

While clearing my land today, I ran into this water moccasin. I was gonna let it go, but it reared up showed its fangs and went after LadyRider. I guess it thought it was trapped. Oh well Mr Snake, say hello to Mr Shovel. 35" - 2lbs 14ozs fat sucker he was. Mebbe now I can convince LadyRider to...

My Gravely ZT1440 has very narrow wheels that cut ruts in the lawn easily. I am tired of having to be extra careful. Can I put wider wheels on a ZTR? If yes, what do you suggest?

I found this 2003 DK45 with KL1470 FEL & KB1550 BH. Due to sudden illness by the owner it is in like new condition (18hr). The asking price is 21K. I think the warranty is gone but other than that every thing is new. Is this a good buy? As a frame of reference I think one of us here recently...

I saw some tractors from a new line and the rear wheels are offset from the shaft. Obviously the final gearing is done there. What are the advantages/disadvantages of doing that?

I ran across the JD5205 48HP 143 hr 2WD +521 Loader + MX7 Cutter + 5ft box blade. Every thing is in near new condition. Asking price is 19K + tax. List price for the JD5205 with loader and MX7 cutter is 27K. Looks like a good deal. What do you guys think? Y'all know that I got some boggy land...

I don\'t want to know my true cost! Armed with the knowledge from the many hours looking over specs, reading valuable stuff here, going to dealers and testing the tractors, I think I'll be able to save any where between $500 to $1500 depending on what I buy. If I apply the IRS rate for mileage...

I found a Zetor(Century) C47 that was equiped with the system 40 loader for 17K + 1K for shipping. I have the following questions: 1)Is the system 40 FEL OK for use with the C47? 2)Is it a good deal?

While doing the research on Zetor tractors I ran across the following article: http://bankrupt.com/TCREUR_Public/040128.mbx I wonder if that was the reason. Since the info was dated on Jan 04, I wonder if Zetor went through with the bankruptcy proceedings.

Any body know of a good Zetor/Century dealer in SouthEast TX or SouthWest Louisiana? I am interested in a C38L with FEL.

I went to a Manhidra dealer today and was able to see just the 3510 gear. While checking out the differences between the two models I found them to be almost two separate models. Engine Gear: 3A165 35HP / HST: 3A165C-DY1 34HP Steering pump output Gear: 3.57gpm / HST:4.60gpm 3Point Lift : Gear...

A month ago I was looking to buy a tractor. Due to some delay, I don't need it and can't store it if I have it for another 6 months. Yet I continue to comb the internet, searching for specs, prices,reliability info etc., and have TBN on my PC **** near permanently. I think I have obsessive...

Do you have any theft prevention measure on your tractor? Since towing my tractor to my future homesite will be difficult, I am thinking about leaving my tractor out there for a little while. With that comes the concern of theft. What would you recommend for theft prevention measure?

When buying a tractor I think of the following factors: A)Price, B)Horsepower, C)Weight, D)Reliability (based on past performance of same model/brand), E)Dealer Support, F)Transmission Type (Gear or Hydro), G)FEL capacity (I add this since it's the most popular attachment that is more tractor...

I am thinking about buying the CK30HST. Down the road, I plan to get the BH for the CK30HST. However when I read the info on Kioti web site, they seem to present the LK3054TLB as one that is built stronger for TLB work etc.. Which set up would you prefer?

A portion of my land has about 18" of soft topsoil that turns into gumbo mud after a good rain. Underneath the top soil is fairly solid clay/sand. I'd like to use the R4 to minimize damage to the grass on the other part of the land but really don't want to get stuck in the mud. Can I get by with...

Being a newbie to TractorByNet, I finally got some time to view this forum. Lots of good info. I am reading through them now. Thanks guys.

In my area the only Mahindra dealer told me that they price the Mahindra tractors at the same level as Kubota. Is this the common price level or are they asking too much? I thought that the Mahindras bring higher price/performance ratio. What has been your experience in your area?

Kioti brochure for DK35 lists the Mid PTO as standard equipment. Yet the Kioti website lists the Mid PTO as optional equipment. Does anyone here know which is which?

I was about to go for the CK30HST when my Kubota dealer told me about the 2005 HST on the L2800DT and the L3400DT. The specs are really close on these 3. Has any one here had a chance to try out the L3400HST yet?

I need a 4WD tractor/FEL/Bushhog/Box Blade. Can some Branson enthusiasts tell me what model I can expect to get with my budget. If possible I'd like to see your argument as to why Branson should be the choice. TIA,

Local paper here advertises a JD5105 4WD, FEL, bushhog, 185 hrs for $20,000. Is it a good price? If not, what is a fair offer (good for me, OK for the seller)? I did the JD pricing for new and it's around $27,500 without the bushhog.

As I mentioned before I have 6 acres to mow and landscape. With my budget I can either get a JD 790 / LT2800 with FEL/Bushhog or get a subcompact with FEL/BH& Mower such as BX23/GC2310. Since I don't have much experience with tractors, I am counting on you guys to lead me to the right path.

I was given a quote of $15.3 for a package (790 4WD, 419FEL, 5ft bush hog, 5ft box blade). Is this price good? I plan to use it to maintain, landscape 6 acres of marshy land in Louisiana. The land is well drained but can be boggy for 2-3 days after a good rain. Will the 790 do the job?

I've been give quotes for the following pkgs (all with corresponding FEL, 5ft bushhog, 5ft boxblad) 3015HST $16.5K 3510 4WD $19.1K 3525 2WD $15.9K Are these prices good? I plan to use the tractor to maintain, landscape 6 acre of marshy land in Louisiana. The land is well drained but can be...

I've been given a quote of $14.6K for a package of LT2800DT (4WD), FEL , 5ft Bushhog & 5ft Box Blade. Is this a good deal? Thanks,

I just bought a 6 acre lot in Louisiana. The lot has no tree and used to be a rice field so it's pretty low and a bit boggy at times (I have to use my 4WD truck to drive on the land after rain). I am contracting someone to dig me a fish pond and use the dirt to build a 225ft x 150ft x 6ft high...
