Not sure the title is totally correct but I have a leak that started in the transmission case where the draft linkage lever goes in. Looks like one bolt holding the linkage to the shaft. Anyone had this and how hard to fix? 2013 DK40SE HST

Looking at a good way to cut the edges of my fields (under tree branches). Would a 7 ft 3pt sickle bar be the thing to use? Will it cut small bushes/trees that are up to an inch diameter? Tired of having to duck around branches and having branches tear up my signal indicators on the fenders...

Starting to mow my fields down here in TN. A little bit warmer than when I usually do it later in the year but need to get all the fields mowed since I will be out west most of all Sept. Anyways after mowing a bit my temps are going up on the my DK40SE, I have attached a pic of the temp gauge...

Haven't posted on here in a long time, tractor has been running great. Well that didn't last, my DK40SE HST has a coolant reservoir tank that is leaking. It is leaking at the molded seam of the tank. Doesn't leak a lot just seeps out but enough to leave a decent spot on the floor overnight...

OK, So I have typical symptoms of a fuel issue with one exception. First the symptoms Tractor bogs down when under a load, going up a hill and/or brush hogging, to the point it will die if I keep pressing it. Even a sharp turn (guessing steering pump load) will bog down the rpm's when brush...

Been using the tractor last couple weeks to brush hog my fields. Today I went out and cut one small one then moved over to another small one. Tractor starting to bog down with any type of load on the bush hog (think grass)about half way thru this field. Running it at the red mark (2500 rpms)...

I am trying to help my neighbor, older gentleman, with his Ford tractor. The 3 pt will lift and stay up, but it won't hold what I call any of the draft positions (between full up and full down). Any position other than full up and the 3 pt will settle all the way down. Anyone with one of...

First time at planting a couple food plots on my land in TN. I started by spraying the ground in Jan, turned them with a 2 bottom plow in feb and limed them. Bought a tiller since we will also be putting in a garden Then tilled them in late March and fertilized and tilled. The result so...

Got the oil changed first thing this morning and then went and finally bought the 3 pt tiller I've been wanting to get. Got it back to the land (currently building a house down here in western TN) and tilled up 2 food plots then went over and tilled my neighbors garden for him. Neighbor is...

Pricing out backhoe's for my DK40SE and so far nothing south of $9K. Priced out Woods, Bush Hog and the Kioti. Problem with the Kioti is finding the subframe for the tractor. Since they don't make the DK40SE anymore it seems they are not making the subframe anymore. Looked for used but...

I have farm equipment place near me with a used BH90x backhoe for $3500. What other than conditions of hoses and cylinder seals should I be looking at on a used backhoe? Also, would need a subframe for it if I bought it, so just find a woods dealer and get a woods subframe or would a Kioti...

I had the FEL off this spring to do some field cutting for the neighbor. This is the 3rd time I have had it off to make cutting his fields a little easier (some trees I have to get around). Put the FEL back on and now I have 2 of the QD's at the junction box (what ever you call it) under the...

Was up clearing brush in the back of the land and I sprung a big leak around the 3rd function valve. Fluid spraying everywhere so much I couldn't figure out where it was coming from, it's obviously under a lot of pressure. Got it back down to the garage and after cleaning it up I still can't...

Was down at the land using the tractor and got back on it, went to start it and it wouldn't turn over. Checked to make sure I was in neutral and the lever was in neutral but the indicator light still showed low gear. Wiggled the lever a bit and slightly pushed it forward and the light went...

Well I was brush hogging my neighbors field (he lets us hunt his property so I cut about 30 acres for him each year) and there was a patch of briers that he wanted taken out so I left that until last. Got that patch cut by backing over it several times raising and lowering the brush hog, all...

I am heading down to TN to pick up my DK40SE. I need to bring it back to PA to cut some fields for a guy that lets us hunt his land. I have a 18' trailer and with the brush hog on the tractor it's slightly too long so I want to remove the FEL and have never done it since I had the tractor. So, I...

So probably a stupid question but I was getting ready to do the 50 hour service on my DK40SE HST. Tractor is in TN at my land so I went to the local dealer and told them I am doing the 50 hour service so i needed the filters. I had read on hear that the trans filter is sometimes hard to get off...

I had a King Kutter 5' brush hog on my old 8N tractor (bought the 2 together some years back), now I have the DK40SE I went to move the brush hog over and it looks like the previous owner of the 8N had to cut the shaft to get it to fit. The end has definitely been cut on the half shaft that...

I wasn't sure whether to post this in the projects forum or here but I figured since all the work included using all 3 listed in the title, I would post it in the attachments section and make it a semi-review of each product. Finally got down to my land in West TN to work on a couple projects...

Found a old used one that seems to be in good shape, no broken disc, bearings are good. They say it weighs around 800 lbs which from what I read would be good for a disc. I think it's a model 25, has the lever adjust for the gang angle. Anyone have one or know if these are decent disc's?

Going to be using it for the first time this weekend at my TN land. Need to get a barrier gate and some split rail fence up. Any tips on using this thing? I have watched the EA video several times. Looks the hardest part may be keepng the auger perpendicular to the ground when you first...

My tractor is down at my land in TN and I am looking at getting a 3 pt log splitter. My question is does anyone know if the rear remote block on the DK series has Power Beyond ports? Was wondering if there were plugs in the remote I could swap with QD's so I could connect the log splitter to...

I am getting ready to order a hydraulic top link from fitritehydraulics. Problem is my tractor is in TN and I am in PA and I need to know the length of the top link. 2014 DK40SE HST, anyone have one that could measure the top link min-max for me? 21 1/4"- 31 1/4" is what Brian @ Fitrite thinks...

OK, so been using the DK40SE for time now with the grapple. Boy that thing works great!! Now I am starting to use the box blade to smooth some dirt piles and fill in some holes. Question: Any tips on how to set the depth control? Seems it doesn't have that fine of a control Any general tips...

Looking for a tiller for the tractor for planting a garden and some small food plots. Local guy (proivate seller) had a Kuhn EL-32, 6 ft tiller for sale. From what I can find from some old posts, these seem to be pretty good units. I knwo teh company makes some large farming equipment and has...

Went to use the pedal to lock the differentials on my DK40SE and it won't budge. Doesn't move a bit. Could I be doing something wrong? wouldn't think so, manual says just to depress it to lock the differential. I was on a hill, if there is pressure on driveline can you still depress the pedal?

Well, this wasn't the reason I bought it, but we got over a foot of snow yesterday and it sure came in handy clearing the snow Typically I use my Polaris ATV with a plow, but we the amount of snow and the fact I hadn't had a chance to use it since I got it in early Jan., I got it out of the...

I had posted awhile back asking the best way to run lines and such on the 3rd function install. I got some great feedback and just ended up finishing up the project today, so I figured I would post what I did with some pics just in case someone else is looking to do this. In general it was...

I am installing my 3rd function I got from EA. It comes with a bracket that mounts the valve on the back left of the tractor. Just wondering if anyone has installed this kit on a DK40SE HST and if so any recommendations on running the hoses up the FEL and how to attach them to the FEL arms...

Well they say it's not true unless you post pics. Finally picked up the new tractor and my EA Grapple came in this week also. Then to top it off I ran into a deal on a 6ft Bush Hog SBX 720 Box Blade for $600.

Started looking for tractors and ended up at a local Kioti dealer today. They have a DK40SE and a DK45SE HST still on thier lot. The dealer was saying that was the last of the tier 3 tractors they had. Doing some research here tonight that seems to be a common theme that these are getting...

I am in the market for a new tractor. Currently have around 32 acres of fields to brush hog, want to plant some food plots, and I am putting in a ~1100 ft gravel driveway. After reading a lot of post I figured I needed to be in the 35-45hp range for a tractor and want one that comes with a FEL...

some history first........ Rebuilt engine, converted to 12volt system, new coil, points, but was using old carb When I was using the old carb, tractor started all the time, half throttle, choke it and it would fire right up. But I was having issues at full throttle under load and the main...
