I have a Kioti DK40 that always pulls on the left. When I'm on the road, I have to turn the wheel slowly for 1 full turn on the right over 1km to keep going straight.

Does anyone has any idea what it could be?

Thanks in advance

by the way, i aligned the wheels, checked the air pressure, changed the steering cylinders, changed the steering unit

Pepe,I have a DK40 and if it were me I would be tempted to adjust the alignment to compensate.Seems like you've addressed the major components.......Mike.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you are saying. The tractor constantly pulls to the left? You have to continually turn the wheel to the right in one full turn to go straight? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

I don't think there is much of an alignment adjustment other than toe. You have a leak in some part of the hydraulics allowing fluid to enter the left side ram. As the leak causes the ram to extend, you have to add fluid to the other cylinder to compensate and straighten the wheels out.

These systems aren't exactly setup for long distance OTR travel and I would expect these little nuisances. Or I should say that I wouldn't spend a bunch of money worrying about it.
