    New Kioti TL-750 Track loader: Coyote Machine.

    Update on TL-750. Found my Igland brand grapple; model GR-20, was leaking hydraulic fluid at the flat faced connectors where they attach to the track loader couplers. This was my mistake - due to thinking the O-ring boss flat faced couplers I attached to the grapples hose ends were O-ring boss...

    You DID truncate my statement, first by not actually quoting me and attributing my screen name to what you 'quoted'. Additionally, cutting and pasting pieces of what I said without stating you had done so, is part of the trunk action. You're not being able to find what I had stated is your...

    Tractor was/is a gift. Doesn't mean it's his first tractor rodeo.

    If quality of oil is not a factor then use recycled waste oil for that matter. It goes without saying that the correct type, viscosity and so forth are the key ingredients for any application, bar none. Quality is key to outcome and longevity of the machine along with periodic filter changes as...

    Not saying to or not to use TSC's home brand - Travelers, BUT, Kioti does sell their own Kioti branded hydraulic oil, which I've used in my Sany SY-50U 5 metric ton excavator, AND will be using it in my new, aforementioned brand new 750 track loader and CK - 4020HST cab tractor.

    If you changed it at 400 hrs, you should be good to go. Remember I NEVER changed it from factory through 1530 hours - and owned it from day one since 2010.

    Backhoe Added a ripper to my Woods BH90x: Trees beware

    IT, This pic should better show where the thumb hyd line is when the thumb is fully retracted. You can expand the pic to see the layout. I will say I'm still in the process of adjusting the hyd lines for the thumb and how they attach at the OP station. I will be sending my final mods over to MIE...

    Backhoe Added a ripper to my Woods BH90x: Trees beware

    This pic is of just the CLAW without being attached to anything but my workbench. This one shows both MIE's CLAW AND their hydraulic driven thumb. Together they are an AWESOME combination. Same combo- different view angle. CLAW in action after ripping out its first 5" Poplar tree root in 30...

    DK-40 Backhoe boom lock won't lock, (2485)!!

    Went to lock the boom after working the hoe hard and found that no matter what I did I could not get the boom lock to lock onto its pins. Note that I had a while back put some grease on the locking mechanism to get it to move toward lock position without having to lift up the spring bar. The...

    Have been using Amsoil 15-40 100% synthetic Diesel Oil in my Kioti DK-40, 4 cylinder diesel engine.

    DK-40se/hst noise from left front wheel area

    Hard to hear the noise but it is clearly coming from some part of the left front wheel area. Sounds like a clicking, ratcheting noise and is apparent in forward and reverse. It is there whether going straight or turning, and without 4x4 being engaged. Sort of sounds like a CV joint click, but...

    The new black that replaces the gray that used to be used until recently... Does anyone know what color it is? Is it available from someone other than Kioti? I was pressure washing the mud off the back end of my DK-40 where the draw-bar attaches and the entire plate and everything around it...

    Tore bellows boot on steering linkage....

    Somehow I seem to have hit the bellows boot on the right front steering linkage and tore it wide open. Probably couldn't have done if I had tried, but managed it without even knowing it was happening. Now I'm seeking any solutions / alternatives to replacing the entire assembly, which my dealer...

    Oil brand used for your 50 hr service?

    I'd be interested in what brand fluid(s) are being used in your tractors if you're buying them yourself and either doing the install or having the dealer do it for you at 50 hours. As noted in a recent thread, Kioti's official position IS to change the transmission AND front end fluids as well...

I was told the transmission oil change IS NOT necessary at the 50 hour interval. I will be following up with them tomorrow to see if they will put...

    Worklight/B-up light circuit DK-40se/hst

    Can someone enlighten me as to what the backup/worklight circuit's deal is? I took a look at the shop manual and it shows it connected to the 10 amp fuse in the fuse box. Does it only come alive on being in reverse with the tractor running? I've tried to get a hot from my test light and have...

    My DK -40he/hst seems to start a lot harder, regardless of temperature then my DK-35 ever did. The 40 is kept inside a heated garage at 50 degrees.

    Backhoe  SMV sign ~ PITA, what 2 do?!

    My DK-40 HST with Kioti BH-2485 seems to always jam the smv sign bracket against the back of the BH seat. Dealer says that is just the way it is?! It ends up bending the bracket and the toolbox gets crunched too. What is up with this design? Anyone have a reasonable way to make it all fit...

    My relatively new tractor, 150+ hours seems to have some zerk fittings that refuse to take on grease.

    FEL pistons housing hits FEL arm(s)

    I'm finding that my Kioti DK-35se/hst's KL-351 loader piston's housings are able to reach to the point where they can hit and damage the FEL's arms, under where the piston emerges from its housing on both sides of the FEL. Is this something that a stop of some kind is supposed to prevent? Am I...
