Bluetay,
What kind of problems have you been having with the Kioti?
I'm looking seriously at the DK65, but trying to get as much information as I possibly can on the Kioti line. I sure don't want to make a mistake and buy into a problem. Have you had any major problems or a bunch of small ones?

Some tractors tend to over-heat when doing heavy work on hot days. It's possibly normal and then slower ground speeds may be needed. I wonder if it's making black exhaust smoke when it seems to be over-heated and if it blows out coolant?<br>
<br>
There are some things to check. I think that using 50/50 coolant cools better than water alone. I'd keep the rad screen clean and the fins blown out and check the fan belt for tightness. I'd also check that the upper rad hose gets hot and maybe look for flow through the cap while it's at operating temperature and that the right oil is used. You might pressure check the cap and flush the system.<br>
<br>
If these things don't help, there are some engine and fuel things to check such as exhaust obstructions and valve clearances.<br>

Your 3PH is really best at pulling rather than pushing, so you need to be careful to not get too tough on it and try to make a dozer out of it.

Thanks for the heads up on the size. I'd prefer the 48", but since what I'll be using it for does not have to be done quickly or in one day, I'm sure the smaller RC will be easier on the tractor.

b8fish, the shaft problem might just be something on the earlier production 2210's. I'll talk to the dealer about it, as I don't have the iMatch.

Ditto! Good job Hardwood! The smallest baler horsepower requirement I can remember is about 30pto horsepower. Those old balers plunger speed was a lot slower then the new ones and I'd say the size tractor you have would get about a half a foot push from it if you could get it to spin.

There is nothing quite like the summers up there. I've subsistance fished in the Copper River. Eaten smoked salmon all winter (yup tuff to light)...Chased Bullwinkle and Yogi captured by shooting with 35mm.

Always said, in the 6 years I spent up there, "summers always made up for the winters". The last winter I spent in the interior it would have taken 2 summers to thaw out.

I often think about the big outdoor feasts in Fairbanks with the fresh fish grilled to prefection and served up as much as you can eat...

ENJOY IT! Harvey

I never have that problem with my 54" deck. I didn't go out and look before posting this but could the link adjusters be rotating and changing the adjustment while being run without the deck on??

I have a Kioti LK3054,FEL,and 72inch rear mower if I had it to do over I would buy a B7800 Kubota. This LK3054 has been broke down a lot and the Kubota I had was 13 years old with nearly a 1000hrs and no problems in that time.

I'm building wood skids with casters I bought from TSC at10$ a pop for my impliments. My garage is 32' by 44' with two 9 foot doors in the front and two 9 foot doors in back.i've only built 2. one for my bb and the easy one was for my bh i just used a 2x10 with two casters for under the front and let the rear roll on the tail wheel. Haven't figured out the rake yet. I'm only doing one at a time so the cost is spread out more.

Michael: I would like to encourge you to hang in there and determine to have your issues resolved to your satisfaction. I can tell you from experience that even though you took delivery of a damaged machine you can have it corrected no matter where you live in the USA. i.e.Be patient but begin remedial attempts within 30 days of delivery and as some one said write down date time etc. on everything. New Holland has a good reputation with the farmers in my area so I'd say if you talk to the right person you can get results. The dealer may be a real poophead but that doesn't mean you have to accept it.

Dave, price was for the FWD unit with Bushhog FEL and canopy.
No dislikes about the tractor, but I've really not run it enough for a complete evaluation yet.

I have replaced the grease gun coupler end with one that can be adjusted with a twist of the end. This made it very easy to lube the tractor with very little effort. Thanks for the feedback and info....

I was wondering if anyone has replaced the entire<br>
hydraulic line that runs from the engine to the<br>
rear 3 point bolt. Did a repair, but would like<br>
to replace. Any ideas on the cost of this part?<br>
It is one continuous part, so it looks to be a job<br>
to replace. Any info would be appreciated<br>

If you were useing a synthetic 2 cycle oil,you can go to 60 or even 80/1, but with petrolium oil it would be the end. Also ,regular motor oils have detergents and are high in ash,both of which will destroy a 2 stroke.
