Yeah...had the container for last tractor. Figured a little more secure for the tractor, generator, compressor, tools, etc since it's a remote property, very secluded, and we're not there every day. If someone wants in, they'll get in, but a little better than any type of shed I would build. Mice shouldn't be able to get in at least.
Ended up getting 6' tiller. Was going to get the 5' to save a little $ since I don't think I care if I offset it a bit and only cover 1 wheel. But he had the 6' there, had to order the 5', and since delivery was delayed quite a while just waiting for the hyd toplink to get there, I was tired of waiting.
Due to the container, that was first gripe I had about the Kioti. Have to fold ROPS to fit and was a real PIA. Instead of pins it was shoulder bolts with nylock nuts. ughh...not dealing with that 2x every time I want to use machine. So I got 2 3/4" x 4" redhead hitch pins and 1/4" lynch pins for those. Much simpler and faster now for up/down. Only concern is OEM bolts are grade 8, the pins are grade 5. Can't see those shearing off before the tube frame gives, but they used grade 8 hardware for a reason.
Only other minor gripe is lack of toolbox. Easy enough fix, but you'd think with all the other upgrades on the NX they could have at least bolted on a $5 plastic one somewhere.

I can appreciate the need for security based on personal experience.
Saw the red pins and thought duh! Yeah I have some oaks where some of the limbs took a 15-20 foot horizontal run then dipped to the ground to build a large bush, so it seems. Ha well yeah folding the ROPs will let me cut underneath.
Looking at frame behind the back seat looks like a small tool box can be mounted and the SMV sign relocated somewhere else.
I'm thinking gluing a large super magnet and mounting it to cutter when mowing ROW.
A few other concerns are how tight the hoses and wires are up against the frame or anything metal. So a thorough going over with split wire loom will be on my rainy day chore list.
Looking forward to you 50 hour service.
So many folks have ideas, tools, supplies that can spark that, doh I can use that, moment. :thumbsup:
