Well I just had my 50 hour done and it was right at $400. That sound right? I will definately start doing the fluids, filters and grease myself. What do you do with the fluids that you replace. Just accumulate them in a 5 gallon bucket or something and take them to a shop that will allow it...

I went out to move something at 7:30ish this morning and my 3-point implement lifted fine but my bucket wouldn't budge up. It would curl though. I didn't have time to properly warm it up to see if that would aleviate the problem. Is that a normal thing? Thanks, Kurt

The H - M - L gear shifter on the left is hard as all get out to change. Sometimes I feel like it is stuck for good but I'll finally get it to move. Or I feel like if I put any more pressure on it I will break something. Anybody have this issue?

What is that thing in the middle called, (between the 2 lower links). Towbar or something? Mine fell off while bushhogging the other day and I'm thinking I just put a pin in it and go. That sound right? Thanks

Just put in 3 hours bush hogging on the new 2013 ck35 hst. I love the hst stuff as everyone else seems to also. But my question is, is it supposed to go slower in reverse? And another question. I opened the hood and was happy to see a screen covering the radiator, and it was clogged pretty...

I just bought the CK35 HST used with 30 hours. It's still under warranty. I looked online for manuals, anyone know the best place to get manuals, and which manuals I'll need if I plan on mantaining grease, oil, hydralics and filters myself. (did I miss something?) When I put the brush hog on...

This is a manual shift. I've had this machine for about 5 years and still love it. But there is definitely something weird going on with the throttle. This morning I was out grappling some piles of brush and dumping them in a large ravine. And suddenly the throttle wouldn't move off of idle...

I was bush hogging and I guess the pin feel out of the wheel. Since I didn't notice it I ran over the wheel and pretty much destroyed it. I called the dealer where I bought this thing and he said it was about $280 for a new wheel assembly. I'm not having any luck trying to find an after...

This thing has 30 hours tops on it. I'm selling it for $2200. I'll get some pics of it later, I'm at work now. I'll deleiver up to 100 miles but it will cost .50 a mile each way. Leave a note if you are interested or message me.

I was doing some heavy duty bush hogging and now I can raise or lower the 3 pt. I have hydraulic top link and hydraulic side link and they both work fine. There are 2 handles that work the 3 pt raising and lowering. The right handle if for the float. The right handle absolutly won't...

Snyder Industries Square-Ended Poly Spray Tank — 100 Gallon Capacity | Sprayer Tanks | Northern Tool + Equipment I need a big water tank like the one in the link. All of the trees I'll use it for are going to be right off my driveway where I can get to easily in my truck. So, I'll just...

I haven't used my splitter in a while and when I hooked it up I hooked the lines backwards. I tested it going up and then back down and of couse you have to hold it all the way up but it goes down by itself. For some reason once I disconnected and tried to connect the hoses the correct way I...

I have a DK55 that has set for several months. Got it started and had a problem with the ignition which seems to have been fixed now. But now the PTO won't start, it makes a clicking noise like a dead battery.

I haven't cranked the DK55 in months but I did get it cranked. It ran for 40 mins or so will I did a few things but once I shut it down it won't crank back up. If I hold the key on it stays on put it acts like it may not be getting gas. Any hints on what to try. Thanks

Rox, Me, my wife and 10 year old daughter built a log cabin on 40 acres in South Carolina 3 years ago. We want to plant some trees that will produce fruit. I'm 53 so my daughter and her kids may get to enjoy them more than me but we want to get started this year. This won't be an orchard for...

If anyone in the upstate South Carolina area needs a good hydraulics shop try Express Hydraulics, Union South Carolina. They are on highway 176 right outside of Union. Express Hydraulics 1477 Furman L Fendley Hwy Union, SC 29379 (864) 674-0990 I've had them work on my tractor and other...

I was clearing some land with bushhog and grapple and heard a very loud snap that did not sound like a limb snapping. Then I saw a hydraulic geyser up front. The top cylinder that works the curling part for the bucket had snapped the rod in half. I have no idea how that happened. I was...

Anybody got any handy tool boxes mounted to their Kioti. Or other ideas for storing handy tools on the tractor as you work, shovels, chain saws etc. See a lot of JD pictures with their solutions, I'd love to see some Kioti pictures/solutions. The only place I can think to add a tool box is to...

Well, so much for the great deal at Northern Tool. I used my log splitter once and went to use it a 2nd time and it won't do anything. Yes, I've hooked up the hoses :D. Question: It's been sitting outside uncovered for the few months I've owned it...do the cylinders rust up that easily on...

My tach and fuel gauge went out at seeminly the same time. I say seemingly because I just found out about the fuel gauge part as I ran out of deisel yesterday and had to bleed the fuel system. It's still at 1/2 tank even after I added 5 gallons. Anyone know if the tach and fuel gauge are...

I was wanting a PTO log splitter and looking at the NT ones because I have an NT near me. I dropped by expecting to pay around $539 or so for one but they had a discontinued one for sell for $240...so I grabbed it. It had a $629 tag on it but was marked down to $343, but rang up as $240. I...

Well, I was grappling away...and suddenly I'm being showered again. Maybe I'm sqeezing to hard? This is a swivel fitting so it's not like I boogered it up or nothing..it broke where the swivel is. I guess that was the weakest link. But that dude is hard as nails. I can't even come close to...

We rode over to hy wifes uncles land. It's all part of the land we're on...his mama broke it up into 3 pieces for the kids. My wife's mom is one of the kids and she has broker her part into 2 pieces for my wife and her twin sister. We are in the works of buying the twin sisters land. Here's...

Anybody know where to find these things? I looked at as many on-line places as I could and couldn't find anything like what I need. Nor at TSC or the auto parts stores. I will try the New Holland and maybe John Deere place tomorrow. Here's the way they look. There a 2 inch long 1/2 inch bolt...

Well I finally got the new connectors from WRLong and put them on. It was great, the grapple connected up wonderfully. So, I've been playing around a little and started to move a pile of logs that were left over from the log cabin. I had the grapple pretty high up and suddenly I was in the...

Anybody got a hydralic sidelink on a DK55 that can give me info on what to get?

I got my grapple today and got it on the tractor. The hoses were plugged into each other and I unplugged them...but I could not get them to plug into the ones on my tractor. The ones on my tractor look exactly the same. Is there a certain way to twist them or anything else to do before I can...

Is a shredder the same as a rough cut mower. I have a woods rough cut mower (Woods BB72x Cutter). Is that called a shredder? I keep seeing these references to shredding and mowing together. Thanks

I was pushing on a stump near my pole barn and I had all 4 wheels slowly spinning but the stump wasn't giving. I didn't realize it, but as I spun the tractor was sliding over (about 1 foot). So I put it in reverve and started backing up to get another bite at the stump. I started hearing this...

I have a DK55. There is a pto knob/handle by my left foot. It says 540 on the bottom, but previous owner said don't pay any attention to that because it has twisted. Is 540 up or down? Should I have it on 540 anytime I run anthing on the back that uses the pto? Thanks

Telescopic CAT I & II hitch Implements are easily attached with telescopic lower links and stabilizers. Interchangeable CAT I and CAT II ends permit a wider variety of implements to be used. (CAT II - Standard, CAT I - Option) I bought this DK55 used, and when I tried to install the Pat's...

When I bought my tractor, the guy lowered the fel and brought the front tires off the ground without a problem. Now, when I tried to impress the wife and daughter the other day with that stunt, the front wheels wouldn't come up.:eek: Is there a certain gear or some trick to making that...

Anybody have any knowledge of these? Mulch Dog 8" Chipper, Mulcher, Shredder, Brush Cutter - (eBay item 250163579067 end time Sep-16-07 18:45:00 PDT)

OK, I'm looking at another tractor now that the Montana was pulled from under my feet:mad: This tractor (Kioti DK40se) has one set of rear remotes. The dealership said they would run a hose from it to the front for my grapple and save me having to buy another valve for up front. He said I...

What a pain in the behind. I was in the Kubota dealership and was about to sign the papers on an L3400...but I kinda got cold feet and told him I was gonna look a little more before I made a decision. So, then I found a nice 45hp Montana used and made an offer. It was accepted and all was...

Question. I have some land that I want to thin out like what HunterRidgeFarm did in the "Land Clearing to House Building" thread. Mine is not as thick though so the going should be a bit easier. I'm leaving almost all of the big trees but want to get rid of sapplings and other growth. I...

Maybe this is best answered by our Montana dealers here. Is there any way to get a owners manual online or sent via PDF file? I looked at the MontanaTractors.com and couldn't find a way. I just called Montana and they said they did not have any online manuals. Whoever answered the phone...

When I was talking to the dealer about which rough cutter to get he steered me towards the Montana 6ft cutter with the shear pin. When I asked about the slip clutch type he said they were heavier and I would have to go with a 5ft with the slip clutch. Does that sound like sound advice, or...

I read where someone said 1 ft per 5hp is what you should get in a box blade. That's prolly true up to a certain size then it don't matter. I don't really have any land to clear (but may find some just to use it) but will be maintaining some roads on my land. Should I get a Montana BB or is...

This has prolly been answered many times but if I do to much more searching here at work I will get busted:confused: I'm getting a Montana 4540 and want to know which mower would best fit my needs. I will mostly be mowing fields that seem pretty clean (7 acres or so, I don't have a good...

Anybody got any experience with these? The place I'm buying my tractor has these and if I have one installed by them before I get it (free labor) then this will be the one. Thanks

I just talked to the dealer again today. They are installing the extra hydralic valve up front and I'm getting an RBG60 root grapple made by Long. Also a 6ft montana brand bush hog (I know it's not really a bush hog). With R4 tires. It's gonna be a few weeks before I get it, the grapple has to...

I just found a used LT450d with fel, boom pole, box blade and 3-point hitch carryall. It has 170 hrs and I will pay $14,500. Should I pull the trigger? (I have a couple days to back out) I've looked at way too many tractors online and sat a couple or three too...but there was no way I was...

Has anyone ever heard of dealers (or whoever) renting the backhoe's that can be attached to a Kubota? I know you can rent a backhoe if you want but just wondered if implements are also rented. I can't see me needed a backhoe much, but it'd be nice to be able to rent one to fit my machine if...

Hello people, I'm new and also gonna be a first time tractor owner. We have been given 20acres by my wife's mother which may be 40 acres soon if the neighbor sells us 20 acres. Probably about 7-10 acres that need to be bush hogged. There are about a million pine trees down from pine beetles...
