    DK5310SE Starting Problem

    I have a 2020 DK5310SE. Several months ago, it developed an issue where at any random time, I could get on the tractor, turn the key, all the lights would come on, but the starter wouldn't do a thing. I could try and try, moving the shifter in and out of gears, moving the brake pedal up and down...

    DK5310SE Safety Switch Issue

    My 2020 DK5310SE is driving me crazy lately. Only around 110 hours but for some reason, it takes forever for the brake pedal and ignition to accommodate each other so the starter will turn over. It's obvious something has gotten out of alignment. But sometimes I will have to press, release, or...

    Best Attachment for Parking Lot Leveling

    I have a lawn maintenance account that has about an acre of land that tractor trailers use. Part is a long path and the rest is the loading dock area. It was probably started as crusher run many years ago but now it's a little bit of everything. It's extremely hard packed and develops pot holes...

    Unnecessary Backhoe

    I bought a new DK5310SE a couple of years ago. I had them add the backhoe as part of the deal. For me, it's been a complete waste of money. The thing is great but I've only used it twice in two years. Once to play around and get a feel for it and the other time to bury my dog. If I were to...

    DK5310SE Sluggish

    I have a two year old 5310 with 90 hours. Slowly but surely, it seems the HST is getting more and more "sluggish". The best way I can describe it is in medium range (primarily when not warmed up), it whines more than I think it should and it seems to be extra sluggish. Once the tractor warms up...

    HST Filter Change

    With today's typical HST tractors, do they generally have a transmission filter and an HST filter? My dealer sold me both when I told them I was going to do my 50 hour service. But in all honesty, she was guessing as much as I was and just reading parts numbers from the book. I'm in the middle...

    Oil & Fuel  HST Filter and Transmission Filter

    I am trying to change do my 50 hour service on my DK5310SE. I know my way around a mower with no problems. But I'm still learning tractors. This is my first Kioti as well. I went to my dealer and picked up an oil filter, HST filter, and transmission filter. But now I already have a few...

    The Age Old Question: Which Tractor

    I am selling my TYM T474. I want more tractor and will most likely not go back to TYM. I have had a NH TC33-DA and a NH T2200 for the past dozen years or so. They've always done me well. But they were 2004 and 2008 models and things have changed tremendously since then. I want something in...

    Model Year Identification

    I have a T474 I'm getting ready to sell. Oddly, it never says on my paperwork what year model it is. Is there a way I can tell from the serial number to be exact?

    PTO Generator Question

    My TYM has around 36 HP at the PTO. The PTO generators I see out there are primarily two ranges: 1. Around 13 - 15 KW which requires a HP in the upper 20s. 2. Around 25 KW which requires a HP in the upper 40s. If I used a generator larger than rated for my tractor but I am only pulling around...

    TYM T474

    Time to sell the New Holland T2220 and get something bigger. Something I'll probably keep forever as I plan to retire from lawn maintenance in 7 years. I know just enough about TYM to be on the fence. The plusses are I love the prices and I love my dealer. They sell me all my handheld...

    Comparison  NX vs. DK

    I'm about to sell my New Holland T2220. It's been a great tractor but I'm ready to go up in HP. I'm also ready to buy possibly my last tractor I'll own as I plan to retire from lawn maintenance in 2026. I see no need to go with the big name brands. Sure they're great but the added expense for...

    New Kioti Service Requirements

    A friend of mine came by the house to borrow my trailer. He was looking over my New Holland and when I told him I was contemplating selling for a larger tractor, he had interest. I told him I was looking for something larger and one of the choices would certainly be a new Kioti. The US...

    Is Hydraulic Gear Oil All the Same for Tractors?

    In another post, I am discussing buying a new tractor fairly soon. One thing I do is plow snow with a Meyer Drive-Pro attached to my front end loader. The bucket comes off, the plow hooks up, I connect my hydraulic lines, and I can lift the loader and turn the blade. The blade is turned with...

    LS Tractors and others

    I did a search of this forum and no posts or titles with LS show up. That really surprises me. I have a New Holland T2220. Had a TC33-DA before that. Both have been great but its getting almost time to buy the "last tractor I'll probably ever buy". I'm 51 and within 8-9 years, I'll be selling...

    Another Newbie About FEL Plows

    First off, please forgive me. I just found out this forum had a snow removal section and I have to ask the obvious question. I do snow removal in the central NC area. That means one year we may get 2 or 3 good snows. Then it'll be 3 years before we see another flake. Not to mention we love...
