- 2013 Kioti DK 40 SE Hydro and two Cub Cadet riding lawn mowers
Okay, I'm standing by for some "incoming", but here goes...
How hard is it, really, to release (take off) the typical "quick disconnects" that attach an FEL bucket on a Kioti DK 40 HSE? And, as a second step, attaching a plow blade? Let's assume the plow blade has appropriate connecting hardware like that of the bucket.
For the smart alecks (lol)...I COULD try it - at least the taking off and reinstalling of the bucket part. But I haven't since owning the tractor since 2013. I only took off the six foot Tartar bush hog once - and frankly I'm going to try and never mess with that again. I use my tractor for bush hogging - maybe run it around all my hilly 9 acre meadows once, possibly twice, a year - and using the bucket for top soil moving and gravel lane smoothing maybe 4 times a year. My neighbor, who owns a bigger New Holland tractor, is proposing to buy a second hand snow plow (variable angle of some kind) which he wants me to "be able to use". This would be in case his tractor isn't working, or he can't work it for health reasons. Heck, I'm a year older than he is at 69. I just don't see myself exerting myself much in order to manipulate a bucket or plow - because I don't want to injure myself. I don't want him to injure himself either. He knows a lot about tractors and welding!
Thoughts?
