It's a mechanical walkthrough of the KS74 240 FM on a Kioti DK5320, mid-PTO lever, driveshaft, gearbox, shear pins, hydraulic chute rotation, and the two-pin removal process from an owner who's actually run it. Best for current or prospective owners deciding on a front blower setup, not general shoppers.
Posted by the McGillicuddy's DirtWork channel, an owner sharing hands-on operating detail from their own tractor rather than a dealer or manufacturer.
Drop the support leg, lower the loader hydraulics, pull the front pin and rear pin, unhook the hoses, and back the tractor out. Only one PTO shaft needs disconnecting.
A mid-PTO engage lever is left up all winter. The normal PTO switch then runs the mid PTO instead of the rear PTO, powering the blower through a driveshaft and gearbox.
The main shear pin that usually breaks is the one for the auger. It is easy to change. The impeller has a separate, slightly bigger shear pin.
Yes, if the tractor has a grill guard it must be unbolted, which is just three bolts on each side, to let the blower fit.
