Howdy from Texas, When my father-in-law retired from a long career as a machinist at Otis, he fulfilled a life-long dream and finally bought the 20 acres he always wanted. And of course, he needed a tractor. He thought he lucked into a good deal when he traded his retirement Rolex for a...

Howdy from warm and sunny south central Texas, Night before last, a mysterious and highly unusual form of precipitation was deposited by a rather strong and very chilly cold front moving through this area. Yesterday morning I awoke to find a porous and clumpy amalgamation of frozen water...

Howdy from Texas, Two months ago I had clicks at the key but no start, as described here: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/kioti-owning-operating/379845-how-raise-loader-arms-non.html Epic contributor kOua got me going again by suggesting replacement of the fuel shut-off and starter...

Howdy from Texas, I have a Kioti CK35 HST that will not start (fully charged batt. but key only clicks). I need to get this thing up on the flatbed somehow so I can take it to the dealer for service. I can do this with comealong hoist and chain, however the tractor loader arms and bucket are...

Howdy from Texas, I've looked over the Kioti product pages and brochures on these two tractors (DK45SE HST and NX4510 HST) and am still unclear as to the general differences. As best I can tell: DK has 4 cyl., 36hp PTO, ~2500lbs. lift NX has 3 cyl., 34hp PTO, ~3200lbs. lift ...most other...

Howdy from Texas, I had planned on accomplishing a lot of labor this Labor Day weekend. Alas, my fun-with-tractor plans that I describe to my wife as "work," appear to be shot. Now I'll have to find some other chores to do... or maybe there will be no labor at all around here. Hmm. This is a...

17 hours into a new CK35 HST and I'm wondering about a couple of things -- wanted to ask you guys first before I pick up the phone and call my dealer, because I've got a feeling this is all just operator error. First, when cruise control is engaged, stepping on the brake pedal does *not*...
