Picture of new tractor  2007 Kioti DK40 with forestry package from payeur.com 300 hrs





I tore the clutch hub away from the friction material in my LK3054.  No one around here would touch the fix for less than $3500 and I don't have the time or desire to split it.  Local tractor joints kinda laughed and offered me 2 to 4 grand for a trade, so I called Payeur in Sherbrooke who assembled the forestry package in the first place.  They made a deal I couldn't resist and I get an upgrade maybe this week

yes I have a metavic trailer and it is big enough for the new tractor,  Also yes, DK 40 means 40 horse.  I found out today the Payeur has done an interesting thing.  The tractor has a hydraulic pump and a power steering pump.  The forester version by Payeur has a switch at the rear of the tractor that links the flow from the 2 pumps when using the trailer.  I was told it has more flow at idle than my LK3054 has at 2000 rpm

Good looking rig...

Think you'll miss the front loader? 

The basket on the left side is a thoughtful feature.

I used the tractor with the trailer a little bit yesterdy, just goin around the yard picking up leftovers and cut offs.  Unlike the 3054 I don't have to rev up to 2000+ rpm to do work, I can use the actual gas pedal while moving around.  The hydraulic arrangement by Payeur is sensational.  Put on parking brake, leave engine at idle, exit machine,  flip switch at rear of tractor and flow comes from hyd pump and power steering pump and engine speed goes up to 1400 RPM.  The loader moves about twice as fast as with the 3054, has more lift and the grapple has way more closing force.

cant wait to do some woods work, but have planing and sawmill orders to fill first.
