Very nice. Beautiful actually.. the horses

"twitch" of wood has always been a unit of measure as in what you can pull I guess.

Funny to see this. I took these pictures today on the trail to my lot. I knew the beavers were there but man do they love POPLAR. It is soft. They also like maple, yellow birch, white birch and who knows wooden legs. They dammed off flooded about five acres of my and another guys lot. That...

Does the replacement switch look similar to the original? There are reported issues with older Kioti ignition switches. I have 2012 DK45 and though I have had no issues the switch feels kind of loose inside.

All good information, I'd like to add this. You have to consider the amount of use or abuse that the front end wheel bearings are able to stand. That seems to be a weak point on some. I have a Kioti DK45se and don't baby it but that front end keeps me kind. I've seen a few fail. As for the...

Older Kioti here 2012 works like it should. I tore some parts off it in the woods but not the tractors fault. The only complaint I would have is HST is 15mph max but I don't go far. Plow snow, till garden, winch wood and all that goes with it. Get bigger than you need.

Put the welder on it. I'm not regular but it works when I need it. Here is a picture of the head gasket and one valve from the diesels I worked on when I was 18 yrs to 30yrs. This unit was 420 hp per cylinder 514 RPM I think. Four valves per cylinder turbocharged intercooled. A real nice unit...

Does the quick connect on far right low dump into the sump? If so you can use that as a return, it should have less restriction.

That piston IS a mess. Whats the liner look like?

Why not clean the pistons up, new rings on them all, do a bit of fine emery cloth swirl to break the glaze on the sleeves and there all the same.

Very nice. The jug on the forward end of the coal car?

Sorry to jump in. What's this worth. Friends Dad died and didn't take it. It's not worn or even worked just a bit rusty. 7 ft blade.

Is there coolant in the base pan/oil?

Tubing wrench?

Meet Fred. Loves the Tractor.

Look back aft under the hydraulic couplers maybe there

When I use my BH I extend the outriggers to take all the weight off the rear tires, jacked off the ground. I also use the front bucket to lift the front end off the ground.

$900 C with ought the damage

Friday took the day and went to the city to pick up the new rad. When I got there I noticed the box containing the rad was a bit damaged so we unboxed it to find the top tank was all busted up. The pressure cap and plastic flange it connects to fell out on the floor. A hole about the size of a...

Plastic I'll have a new one the first of the week. I can't be without the tractor so I'll install the new one and if my repairs are successful there will be a spare. Thanks

Is the radiator on DK45 plastic or metal tanks. Mine needs repair and wondering how to proceed. Musta happened last thing this afternoon noticed coolant running out of small maybe 1/2" nipple on bottom right of rad. Brush poked up in there I expect. I'm scheming how to repair it and I this is...

Seems to be an easy and efficient method. It's grapple off and snowplow on in 10 minutes and most of that time is my sore sorry old body trying to function.

I have a DK45 with a KB2485 BH. 2012 model yr. I have never removed the mounting brackets but I would guess eight caps crews would remove both brackets. Removal would also give you added ground clearance maybe 6 or 8 inches max. The hoe assembly slides on and off fairly easy. It's handy when you...

You are right newbury. I had an extra ott in there. I've had this saw 20 years and it's perfect for me.

My dk45se cruise control works on smooth going. I believe there is a bump switch in there that disconnects for safety on rough going.

Installed my starlink a week ago. It's wonderful. I can actually use my computers now. Best speed before was 1.2Mbps down 0.5 up. Now is 250Mbps and 50 up. I have no obstructions, I have a 0260 stihl.

Mick gone a year ago he was 15. The little Yorke just two weeks ago he was almost 17. Truck seems empty now.

When I was 18, right out of high school I started a three month job as a temp diesel power plant operator. Forty seven years and three trades later I left. Their still paying me. No on call and no overtime=retirement.

USA to the left Canada to the right.

Had to say good by to this little guy Monday. He was two months short of 15 years. Mick sings the Beatles with Wilma - YouTube

lobster coming aboard

Cold here but warming up

5 cm or 2 inches of snow? pretty to look at but tomorrow will be 1cm or 1/2 inch of broken hip ice. I'm going to scrape it off and it will still be ice tomorrow. I need one of those burners they use on curling ice.

0c or 32f snow 4 te 5 cm or a couple of inches now rain cold wet and windy. Wind shifted to NW temp about to dive. Happy New Year no matter how you think.

Yeah, that's a cold wet job this time of year. You have to be set up for it. She is working by the day. Lobster is going for somewhere between 9&10 $ off the boat. A dern good price. She is working for $500 a day cash.

My Daughter a fisherman.

Mick seated Illi standing

On or off in fifteen minutes.

Ferry leaving the island this morning. This ferry is 300 feet.

I use this in my 2012 DK45 SE HST. I put this in at my 400 hour service. It works perfect for me. Some tractor owners complain of HST whine with different fluids but this is fine by my standards even in cold weather. I don't think these model tractors are noted for having much of a whine...

I just retired August 1 after forty-seven years. I turned 65 in June. Twelve years diesel power plant operator, industrial mechanic (millwright). Thirty-five years power line tech (lineman). Most of my years working meant being on call 24/7, I don't miss that, or any of it for that matter. Same...

There is a 10A fuse labeled "alternator/engine stop". It is located fifth slot down on the fuse block located right side below the steering column. Right is pre 2007 left after May 2007 In your pics you can see the fuel shut off solenoid is pre 2007.

There are approximately 30700 deaths a year in USA from adult beverage related disease. 90000 if traffic related deaths, homicides etc.are included. I expect that's all coming from the 0.1% of misused adult pops. The large majority of people who abuse alcohol are neither alcoholics nor addicted...

This is on a DK45 but something similar would work. I installed this after damaging brake linkage, hyd. pipes and QD's coming apart.

A week ago. We have had two more dumps of snow since then. 2.5 to 3 feet total.

Are you referring this bolt? Is it a 2485?

48" Single Cylinder Root Grapple Bucket Attachment — Skid Steer Attachment Depot

Had tires loaded this week, he said it was beat juice but mixed with something so it doesn't get to thick in the colder weather. He called it agralime or something? I'm pretty sure they are using vodka to thin it down. This added somewhere between 800 to 900 lbs:) While doing this I flipped the...

I put 2 hooks on like this. But one hook in the center is much more safe on a small tractor, I realized that after I put mine on (just a tip). All your welds are nice.

This truck has almost $300,000 worth of lobster on it.

My hydraulic driven logging winch has a max speed of 2.4 feet per sec., about half speed of a comparable pto driven winch. And I intend to use it this afternoon. I usually run the tractor at 1500 rpm while using the winch.

Reduced from 1/2 to 3/8 out of the QC. Hoses made with 90's. Ran hoses up the left side attached to cab frame and tool box bracket. I added a set of QC in front of the tool box the hose was made with 3/8 NPT both sides here. Up and along the loader arm similar to hoses on the right side. The...

Something you may want to consider if you are a one man operation is a wireless remote for your logging winch.

I'm in for $85 cdn including a wireless kit at $18. I may drop the camera an inch for obvious reasons or not, see what it looks like outside.

I'm not saying your tractor won't handle it but you wold want lots of weight aft and chains I would think.That 600lbs. is heavy out there. I use my bucket.

Included with the WG24 Stump Grinder is a slip clutch style PTO shaft.

Ritcheyvs, I also have a DK45 and just got this grapple. I like the size and delivered price. 48" Single Cylinder Root Grapple Bucket Attachment — Skid Steer Attachment Depot

DK45se (2013) The 15A fuse in the cruise circuit only lasts for a few minutes before it fails. Anyone have experience with this?

This was in my way so I applied the 2485 BH to it. Ten minutes later it surrendered.

Hydraulic, a bit slower than pto operated but I am not in a race. I really enjoy the wireless remote being alone.

Had some work then to moving snow. Tarp blew off my boat first time ever. Wind gusts +95mph

-10C wind NE 63 gusting to 74 knots heavy blowing snow.

That small dot between the point of the arrow and Saint John is where I am. Looking at this forecast and the predicted wind it looks like an all day NothEaster with lots of snow. Gusts to 75mph is plenty.

Forestry winches | Les distributions Payeur This is a Canadian company, they build several models both hydraulic and mechanical. Seeing where the CDN dollar is right now, $.80, it may be very attractive for a US customer to buy. I have a TR65H model, hydraulic, with a wireless remote and it is...

-20C -4F wind NW 25 gusting to 45. Cold winter morning and my recently installed mini split heat pump is still blowing lots of heat, so is the wood stove!

I have these chains on my DK45SE, same as your machine I believe. DuoGrip Tractor Tire Chains Just put them on snug and they will slack up with use. I have no problems with clearance and the chains work well in the woods and plowing snow.

Still with the round configuration, I got about a cord and a half in this bucket.

I think Kioti may have stolen your idea only difference being is that the spring is on the inside and the hole on the outrigger end of the strap is elongated so it automatically disengages when you retract the outrigger slightly.

Agreed

Not a DK55 manual.

This is form the "EX35/40/45/50" shop manual but you can be assured the sequence would be the same as it is on all simple cylinder heads.

The winch requires only 5 gpm to operate so the tractor at ~17 gpm can handle it easily at 12 to 14 hundred RPM. I believe the hydraulic system may be more trouble free and easier to work on than the clutch. But this is the first skidding winch I have had so take it from there. The wireless...

Made in Canada hydraulic skidding winch.

There are spare fuses but also two spare positions with the lugs in place. I need to get the lugs free to attach wire

This powers my standby genset. Can supply power to approximately 3000 customers.

Getting back to the original topic of this thread. I recently bought a new Kioti. I asked for and negotiated a deal on a DK40Se. The dealer called me a week later and was having a problem getting the 40 in our area and asked would I take a DK45Se. I asked the difference in price and was $1500...

I just bought this one today. New tractor, hoe is slightly used. Been playing around with the hoe it is nice. My last and only other tractor was a 9N ford 20 years ago. I like the idea of the return line from the hoe.
