Well designed! Used to like working on cars in the 70's when you still could.

DK4510 HST . Very easy to work on. Love it! 1000 hours

Interesting, and nice that you have a friend who can reuse the used motor oil. 👍

I always write on my filters the date and hours. Well done.

Its a great feeling when you have all your equipment ready ahead of time . Nothing worse than trying to do maintenance or repairs in the in a crunch ! Great video .

Take care of your tractor and your tractor will take care of you. I'm gonna get that cwazy wabbit.

I have a Kioti also a real work horse. Live a little south of you enjoy all you do take a special person to do what you do. Keep your video coming enjoy them all. Even Whatch what I call reruns lol.thank you

Watching from my Cabin in Ontario. Great maintenance video. Just picked up my new (old 1990) Tractor. It’s a Kubota L3350. Love it , it’s like a little tank. Gonna be great for loading my Band Sawmill I’m building. Do me a favour Dale. Don’t stand under the bucket when it’s in the air, if a line blows you are pooched. And put some cribbing under that front axle. I work in a Heavy Equipment shop and seen and heard some bad shit. Enough of the negative shit, great video as always. God bless and be safe. Oh ya, I’m looking for a wabbit or two for a soup, they seemed to have all disappeared from my 100 acres. 😜

Thx brother for sharing the maintenance on your tractor! Seems like an awesome brand of tractors & well built!!!

I have a 20 year old DK45 with the backhoe attachment. It had a bad engine when I bought it for cheap 9 years ago. I had to get a long block from Korea. $10,000 installed by a dealer. But I have a $50k machine for about $18,000 invested. It has paid for itself many times over.

It’s really interesting 🤔 how the different manufacturers of tractors have there consumables in different locations on the tractor like oil filters for example, on the Massey Ferguson 188, the last time I did the oil change on it, it was vertically mounted and to save a bit of time my boss at the time said to fill up the filter before putting the rest of the oil in the sump then of course start up let it run for about ten minutes and check the level,add more if necessary, but that was a long time ago now and things change and I have been away from the agricultural scene for too long, but still a good little video with some very useful tips that you use when you need to give your tractor a pre season service.

I have a 1998 Ford 2120. 45hp. 4x4 with a loader. It's a great tractor

Recently purchased a 2020 kioti dk4210se and absolutely love it.

I just bought my first tractor, my wife and I are just getting started on a small farm. 1980 Ford 3600, and I love it lol

Hey thanks for all your content! I usually dont comment but, I was layed up after surgery and got to binge watch your channel and catch all the ones that I missed. It was all good stuff and a lot of good tips. I like the fact you share your lessons learned from mistakes. Thanks for passing that on........And the tractor is well designed and truly user friendly.

Great video. Stay safe. Do enjoy watching all your videos.

Hi my friend!!😀😀 Nice job on doing the maintenance. I don't believe I would even consider taking the hubs apart when the oil comes out as clean as yours did. As long as there is no metal on the bottom plug there is no reason to. I have been using Shell Rotella T full synthetic 5w40 motor oil year round in all of my logging equipment and my Cummins in my pickup for over 20 years. Everything always has almost instant oil pressure even in 20 below zero farenheit. I have never had a motor oil related failure ever in any of my equipment. It is definitely the way to go. Take care my friend!!😀😀 Logger Al

Thanks for the video very informative

Crazy beautiful day! Take care

My Kioti CS2210 is the same, the new feature now is the one piece hood that exposes everything. Super easy to get at and easy to change whatever I need. I bought a cab last month and installing was a long process, but everything was very well fit and designed perfect!

Hi Dale nice video brother...Some good info that tractor owners can use!....tks for sharing & I look forward for the next!...Take care!

Thanks Dale great video! 👍👍👍💯💯💯

I’ve got a 2015 Kioti 7320PCC ! 73 hp, cab, 24 speed power shuttle with creeper gears ! Loader with 7’ bucket ! I bought it in Jan. 2017 with 3 hrs. I’ve got 178 hrs. on it now . It has regenerated 3 times so far . I live in SW Mn. where it gets cold in the winter ! It starts good in the cold weather after using the glow plugs ! Really like my tractor especially the cab with A/C & heater ! Thanks for the videos Dale !

I am a new subscriber and enjoy your videos, honesty and perspectives. Thank you for keeping things real. BTW nice tractor and accessories.

Great video I have a TYM 494 Everything is easy to get to.

Great content and it's nice to see someone taking care of their equipment. I'm currently working on my stepdad's DK55 Kioti. It has 1100hrs and I hate to say this but the maintenance hasn't been done correctly since the day it was purchased. This is the 1st time I've actually used the machine, had to clear small piece of property for a dog run. It's lived most of it's life under a pole barn at the hunting camp. Being raised in the logging woods I'm a firm believer in greasing and checking fluids and for the most part fluids were good but not one pin would take grease on the Woods 1020 front loader w/quick detach. I set out pulling fittings to discover grease that was so rock hard all the way to the pin in each one. I inquired when was it serviced last and my stepdad says, "they haven't taken grease since I bought it." It drives me crazy but I guess he used the 3 point more than anything else. Boom cylinder blew while doing some dirt work. Had trouble finding the seal kit but was able to get one and make the repair. So, now that it's been serviced and taking grease there are several other things I'm working on. The glow plugs aren't working, none of the lights including the console work. I have a spool valve cap that has a broken ear that is leaking. Haven't had much luck finding just the cap. I'm gonna try and solder it with a blue rod for dissimilar metals later td. Found decayed buss bar for the glow plugs but still trying to figure out the console lights, speedometer, fuel gauge. Even with all the issues it has accrued over the years I would say it's a good one. The only negative thing I can say is finding part# and schematics. I wish I could find a shop manual for it. When the time comes to purchase a new one that will be part of the deal. My step dad is a good man but just had knee replacement surgery so I'm just trying to pickup some of his work so that when he's finished rehabbing he will be able to enjoy hunting season and if I can fix most of what hasn't worked in forever on this tractor hopefully he will enjoy it a little more too. I've always used Rotella but now it's getting hard to find. Just recently changed oil cooler and some injectors on my 6.0 Super duty and was forced to use T5.

a coworker bought a kioti and with your description of yours and Backwood40's, when a used ck25 came up on Craigslist, I was sure I'd like mine and so far it is working great.

I have a 2019 DK4710SE. Love it. I run 15w40 full synthetic Amsoil in mine. I live in Central Michigan.

راح اشتري وحدة نفسه... استمر....👏👏👍

I would love to have a tractor like that at my camp. it is rare that the maintenance is done so well.

Good work brother Happy winter

You really should put a 2x4 or something to prop up your bucket you never know when a hose could fail

Dale, I also run a Kioti, ck 27 with a 6' fisher plow on the front and 60" snowblower on the rear , 10-30 rotella semi-synthetic

Kubota BX25. Awesome little tracks

Well done!! Smart tips

Looking in to moving to Northern Maine to start a off grid farm! You have some great videos and info!! Family and I are I Alaska now.

Thumbs Up duly smashed as always buddy. Good work. I'm exhausted. It's beer:30 right now.

Yeah NB I have a 1986 Ford 1910 I bought new. It's just a basic 32 hp tractor no loader but does what I need a tractor auto do. I too use Rotella diesel oil for my tractor. I've always done the routine maintenance regularly and it has served me well. It has 2200 hrs now and no major repairs. Very seldom do I use my tractor when it's below 30 degrees. I use a solar trickle charger from Tractor Supply to maintain my battery during our fairly short winters here in Tennessee. Works great. Take care at the Cabin I"'ll see you in the next video.

You make everything look so easy . Even with the funnel I would have oil all over the motor . A very informative video . Now I just have to get my very own Kioti . " remember . do not stick anything where it should not go " ... hilarious !

Good Morning from snowy Northern Saskatchewan! Really love your tractor, and I have been looking into a Kioti now for my acreage. My little 26 HP Husqvarna with the 30" snowblower just isnt enough machine for the driveway I have (approx 150 yards). Like you, I am in the middle of nowhere, so my equipment keeps me alive. Take care of it and it will indeed take care of you. I agree with you on oil changes! I am a Quaker State guy and run 10-40 here with the -40 temps. Worth it to go full synthetic in these parts. I just put away my 2 summer tractors and winterized them...and now ready for this white stuff falling from the sky. Oh hey, reading through the comments, I saw that your 1st name is Dale. My son`s 1st name is also Dale. I thought that was pretty cool as Dale is not an overly used name. (I`m Jeff btw). Enjoy the cabin.

Very informative video Dale. Hey! If I had a Kioti...after this video maybe even a dumb, dumb like me could do some of what you explained. I wouldn’t bet the family farm on it though.😊 That manual though made me giggle. I had to immediately call my Brother-in-law (step-sister’s husband). Because...wait for it...he writes the manuals for Vermeer . We laughed and laughed. He said it was probably a translation error. I was like, I’m not so sure about that. He said after he writes and creates a manual for a piece of machinery, he sends it off to a company that translates it MANUALLY! Anyway, we both thank you for sharing that and giving us a laugh. 😁 There are a couple of things I would love to tease you about. But, I’ll keep it short and sweet this time. 😂 Ps... I enjoy your small talk. 😉

Thanks for this video :-) 👍👍

cheers my brother

2011 T190 Bobcat is what I have to tackle the Manitoba Interlake winter, 84 inch snow bucket,Oil changes are super simple, Air cond and killer heat,stereo,in a heated shop so I just run Bobcat brand 10W30 year round.

Great video! Thanks for the help. Just got my first tractor used - a Kioti just like yours. This video was a great start for me. Any chance you’ve got a list of all the things a newbie needs to know - it did not come with a manual!

You know it's rabbit season now in Maine,all the way to March.Just saying.I'm in York County Maine,and I rarely see wild rabbits anymore.I thing the coyotes have thinned them out something wicked.Anyhow,batten down the hatches folks,I think this winter's gonna be a good one!

I've got a ck2610 koiti it's 2019 model love how easy it is to work on no issues besides the hood latch in 130 hr in one year I too have the manual that funny misspelling is common people have two left feet u know the usual translation problems

AGREED - FULL SYNTHETIC.

Little Tikes 🚜 model: age 5 and above. grandkids love it. Easy peazy maintenance- bandaids 🩹 for knees.

Mahindra max 28xl, it is a 2012 that I bought new in 13. Had a few issues when it was new. Other than that it been good. Strong hydraulics. Winter is on the way. Good luck!!!!

You cannot beat Shell Rotella.

got an allis 180 farmall m and a vai case same age as me 73 all real easy to work on no modern cowls to work around allis does the heavy work 6cyl motor love the sound when shes workin

I’m a get into the car & drive away sort of person. I did a course in car maintenance once & it’s very similar. Still mad times here in U.K.. headless chicken syndrome. I’m staying at home & letting them get on with it. Stay well. See u soon 😁

I have a DK 45 2005 model. Bought it in 2014. Less than a thousand hours when I got it and I have put nearly 4oo hours on it. No block heater and I am using the 15w 40 diesel engine oil. The tractor has always started well. I have never changed out the front axle oil nor wiped the hubs. I have changed all filters, oil usually once per year, fuel filter as needed, air filter as needed. I had problems with the ignition and changed that out. That ignition started giving me trouble last year again and I bypassed the key and went to push button start. The key only failed once since that change. I have replaced some hydraulic lines as the rubber rots. I also had a retaining ring break on the FEL, welded that and fried a grease zerk for my trouble. The tractor was used pretty hard before I got it and the FEL has some sloppiness to it but everything works. I live in NB right on the Bay of Fundy. Cold and windy in the winter. Well some might say cold and windy in the summer too lol. I have a 6 ft rotary cutter, post hole digger, and a 6 ft snow blower. All brand new 5 years ago and no issues with them. The tractor is my first and I would recommend Kioti to anyone. In fact I may buy a new one in a year or so and I think Kioti will be my choice. They come with a lot of features that are standard and the 40-60 HP range is a perfect size for the hobby farmer and small property manager. Strong enough to do big jobs and small enough to get around in the woods. Mine is open station like yours. Enjoy your videos. Thanks for the tips on tractors to guns. I live in Canada so hand guns are pretty much out of the question but I live rural and appreciate the fact that guns are necessary tools to keep varmints at bay.

I have a 71 Ford 5000 bought it new use it everyday also have a 135 Massey bought new was 3400 dollars the trick to how long a tractor last don’t let everybody use it iam the only one that has used mine never had to put clutch in them and I take care of them there working on 50 yrs old that’s older than u Igot them after in was in vietnam

I have a 2018 Mahindra 2555 over here in New Hampshire. Have about 150 hours on it now. Service is pretty well set up. The dip stick is in a weird spot but other then that it’s not bad at all to work on.

1947 8N ford tractor just rebuilt the engine last winter I’ve had it for years

Love maintaining my equipment, I’m sure you stock basic parts on hand, ie; fluids,belts,plugs but how about parts for your hydraulics? anyway great video again to watch. Have a great week ahead and stay healthy

👍🏻

Looks like shes ready to push some snow. It wont be long.

Hey Dale, thanks for the video, it gave me the motivation to service my axel! My CK25 HST manual says bleed 😂😂 it also says to torque front wheels to 290lbs is that what you do?🇨🇦🇨🇦

👍

I've heard you speak of your preference for going all synthetic oil, before... and, it all makes good sense. Busy time of year, but I've always really enjoyed doing these maintenance tasks. I understand western Maine got their first dusting yesterday morning?

Thanks for the video. Really good as usual. How many hours do you put on your Kioti a year?

Great video. Unfortunately the only tractor I own is a Husqvarna lawn mower. But I DID enjoy watching you work on yours. Lol. I can’t believe there wasn’t a PBR involved in it at some point😳. Seriously though, I’m curious about the Hydraulic fluid and how/when it should be changed. Just a thought, not stressed about it. 👍

@9:20 got a spider web on your hat there bud haha

You got a Nice tractor but all my equipment is really old . Ive got a 1940 ford 9 ,1969 case 580ck backhoe,1972 sears suburban 12 hp garden tractor and a 77 gmc 1ton dump truck. regular maintenance is a must with equipment

I have the same exact tractor so glad I found you! I want to change out my front hubs also but why Is there two fill plugs? Do you evwr use the one that is not on the outside of the hub? Thanks for your advice

Excellent video. Is there a gasket on the wheel hub?

It seems I am having trouble finding Shell Spirax 80w-90. Can I use Lucas gear oil 80-90 ?

The manual says to change the front axle gear oil once every 500 hours. You seem to change it every year.

Don't forget to run it before checking the oil level....the filter needs to get filled. I'm sure you did that but not everyone does.

Nice informative video Dale , I was wondering does your tractor not have a hydraulic oil filter that you have to replace also ? Glad to see you are doing well , stay safe and take care.

Do you have a video for a leak repair on 2006 dk45se hydraulic steering. Leaking from top of unit at seal potentially

Thx much. I have a Bobcat CT440. Same tractor. Couldn’t tell if there was a spring under the fuel filter element. I never saw one in mine. Several mistakes in my owners manual. Seem to all be translation related. The layout grid for Service intervals is very poorly done. Very confusing.

The Koreans made a pretty good tractor. Very similar to my John Deere.

Ron Musico how about zinc additive for motors with flat tappets. its mandetory.

I am looking at this very same model tractor. I have seen some problems with cracking of the loader arm by the pivots. See any of that?

New to your channel great job!! So do you run 0w40 synthetic all year ? I have a DK65S Kioti and find it starts hard in winter, I’m using 15w40 conventional. Very interesting! Thanks From NS Canada

I got a Kubota B2620. Full Syn Mobil 1 Turbo Disel.

What... no burger bombs or frosted mug of PBR? LOL.

When is the next time your at your camp

How do you take the battery out of Dk 40 se

How many hours has this machine run?

Shell Rotella synthetic

No hydraulic filters?

How many hours do you put on the tractor every year?

Awesome. Stupid rabbit? I thought you liked the animals.?

Search youtube volvo bm 350 h10. Thats what i plow snow with. Its from 1962

No tractors were bred in the making of this video...

Don't breed the tractor, ok got it! Lol 👍😃✌️

Never Breed the fuel system 🤣.

Is that a Yanmar engine?

Please take the hood off! My dealer says absolutely no fully synthetic oil!

And do you like duck

Just one thing don't see a safety block on your buck while changing your oil. If you do let everyone.know its a safety factor thanks again.

Sounds like a bad Korean to English translation there lol. No Breeding

Omg just do it and stop the small talk
