well , It\'s pretty much set in stone

After a lot of research and head scratching , I'm about 90+% sure on getting a DK 35 . (Roman Engine Sales )
Still got to go over to Ohio and put my butt on the seat to be sure . One thing that does have me concerned is quite a few post mentioning FEL problems . (mostly leaks )
Has Kioti addressed this ? Thanks , John

I personally have not experienced any leaking cylinders on the FEL. Having 150 hours on my DK35 and it performs flawlessly. I have read in other posts that a few had problems with their cylinders, but I recall it was because of a high spot on the cylinder rod that was causing the o-ring to be cut. Have fun trying out the DK35, you will enjoy it.

I did have a leak on the right bucket tilt cylinder (very slight but there).
I called the dealer(also Roman Engine) and explained where the leak was.
I used the tractor till the seal kit came in and took cylinder only to the dealer who installed the seal in around 1/2 hour while I waited.
No more leaks and no down time.
It was a non-issue for me, but it did bother me to see others having the same problem.
I now have 107 hours on my DK35 and very happy with it !
