Whoops, I thought all the Kioti fuel gauges were like that. Just don't run it dry.

Some are like that, some are not. Mine will stay on full until about 1/2 the tank is gone, then it will pretty much register correctly to the end. It's not something I was worried about as I can judge pretty well what I've used and as long as the end result is correct, it's not a problem.

I could adjust it, but it's not worth the bother to me. Some of them, though, need to be adjusted.

I understand the reasoning of sharing the load but I guess I'm used to my old tractor without 4wd. I only use the 4wd on my CK30hst when I need the extra traction if the rears start to slip like you mentioned when digging hard with the fel and naturally if you're in some mud or other stuff like when snowplowing. Most of the time, I'll just push the diff lock if I just need a little extra for a short distance but remember, if you do that, it is a little harder to turn because both rears are trying to push you forward.

The rear end is much beefier than the front and should be able to take whatever power the engine can give. Depending on your jobs, you might be surprised how good it goes without using the 4wd.

Have fun playing with the new toy.

Victor,
If you don't mind taking a picture of the float fix, I would like to try it.
Mine takes forever to get to 1/2, after it gets there you probably have an hour remaining before it drops to empty /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
I only use my FWD when I'm digging with the FEL or moving snow. Most of the time it stays in RWD.
