I have the same hoe & have used it a lot over the past five years. I wanted a narrow bucket, but the 18" was the smallest available when I bought the tractor. The first mod I did was to cut the bucket down to around 10". The 18" was just too wide for most things I need to do. The reworked...

I want to add a hydraulic tilt actuator to my 3 point & am wondering if I can use the backhoe remote. It has an A - off - B selector. As a test, I tried to hook my top link to it, but was unable to connect the hose without bleeding off some pressure. Not wanting to force things, I figured I'd...

Hi folks. I have looked trough the archives, but didn't find a clear answer. So... I need to get a tooth bar for my FEL bucket & would like some advice on which one to get. First, I have a good root grapple & a backhoe & a Woods BSM 72 box scraper, so I don't need a tooth bar for ripping up...

I'm looking for info on a H16 Bolens tractor. My wife is a bit intimidated by the Kioti, but needs something to drag her garden trailer around with. We have been looking at used ATVs but can't find a decent 4WD one for what we want to pay. (I think 4WD is a must in our soft & slippery ground)...

Hi folks; My DS4510 has (occasionally) made a loud single clack sound that seems to be coming from the left rear wheel. (Though it is hard to say, for sure) The tractor is 5 months old & in the 75 hours since new, it's happened maybe a dozen times. My kioti dealer hasn't been helpful. Before I...

Hi Folks; A couple of weeks ago, we drove across the line to Lynden WA to buy our new Woods BSM 72 box blade. VERY NICE piece of equipment. Worth the long drive (almost 200 miles & 4 ferries for the return trip) and the extra bucks, after seeing the cheesy stuff that was available locally...

Well... I said I'd post pics when I got the throttle pedal where I wanted it, so here goes... It ain't pretty, but it works fine. First, I put a piece of card stock under the pedal & traced out the original position. Then I sat in the seat & had my wife put an X on the paper, just below the ball...

More pics... Its a pretty tough unit. Don't think I'm gonna wreck it. So far, very pleased with my choice. Sorry about the blurry pics. Usually the old iPhone does a better job, but you get the idea.

More... Shiny new remotes. Hoses clamped to loader arms. I still need to do some work on the hyd hoses forward of the loader arm. There is a lot of hose needed & it catches on pins etc while curling & uncurling. I think I need to find one of those spring stanchion things I've seen on other...

I promised some pics & think I finally figured it out. I'm just learning how to use my iMac... Way different than the old PC. I didn't get a good close shot of the whole grapple, but here's my new favourite Safety Sticker. Kinda says it all, doesn't it? A chunk of cedar stump that was buried...

Yup... It's another one. Sorry folks. Our little acreage is proving to be a challenge to clean up & a good grapple has become a first priority for me. We have committed the funds, now we just have to decide which way to jump. We have thick second growth forest that has grown over old logging...

Hi folks. I want to get a 9" bucket for stump removal & I noticed that Kioti doesn't make one. Are these CUT hoes built to an industry standard? Can anyone suggest a different manufacturer who makes a 9" bucket to fit? Thanks. Dan

Hi Folks; After a month of obsessing & reading everything I could get my hands on... Spending HOURS going through the forum archives and leaning on the members here for some excellent advice. We did it. We took the first ferry to Vancouver Island this morning & drove south, checking out...

Hi folks; I'll be checking out a new 3616 this week, but dealer has an ML5520 with loader & Woods backhoe. Just the right package for our needs, but a bit bigger than I was initially thinking of. It looks like this model was only available for 1 year... 2008. Anyone have experience with this...

Hi folks. I'm searching for a TLB to work out the wrinkles in our 6 acres of wild, west coast rainforest. We plan to use the tractor for about 5 or 6 years & re-sell it once the land has been selectively logged, drained, levelled & groomed. I have been looking at smaller tractors, but started...

Hi folks. Brand new here & new to tractors as well. My lady & I are looking for a tractor / loader / backhoe to help tame our 6 acres of wild west coast rainforest. Our land is pretty flat, but soft & very muddy in some low areas. We need to remove a bunch of small stumps, pile & burn tons of...
