Kirby Park - Kioti “Outstanding performance”
May 14, 2012
One look at Kirby Park tells you here are people who continually take care of the small details in order to build and realise a dream. And the reality they have achieved is one of outstanding performance.
22 years ago, Margaret and Peter Jones bought the 40ha Hahndorf property not far from Adelaide. Their daughters, Emma and Megan, had such a love for horses that Margaret gradually began to establish what is today a renowned Irish Sport horse stud, breeding world class horses.
Kirby Park offers stud services and agistment, and is home to the MJET Equestrian Training School of Olympian Megan Jones. Megan and her horse Kirby Park Irish Jester brought home the silver medal from the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the awards did not stop there.
Margaret, matriarch and general guru, has a very hands-on approach to whatever needs doing and a passion for another kind of horse power too.
“I had a 35hp Kioti tractor for four years and it was such a great experience that when we wanted a bigger tractor, it definitely had to be a Kioti,” she said.
In June 2011, she traded the 35hp model for a 45hp Kioti DS4510 from local dealers, Central Hills Machinery. She also bought pallet forks, hay forks, an Ansung AL41 loader and back hoe, and a Howard slasher.
The 4WD Kioti DS4510, built to heavy duty specifications, has power steering and independent PTO, eight forward and eight reverse speeds and a 2197cc Green Daedong diesel engine.
“It is so easy to use and it’s not too big and heavy. It’s out working at one job or another every day,” Margaret said.
“I use it to feed out round bales, move big logs, repair roads and spread gravel. I use it for all sorts of loading and unloading, and slashing. Now I’ve got the back hoe, I can get on with the landscaping and drainage projects I have planned.”
With competition horses, agisted horses, brood stock, the riding school, a cross country course and state of the art dressage arena, there is no shortage of work to be done.
Margaret also makes compost, mixing horse manure and hay with the Kioti’s four-in-one bucket, then hitches a spreader to the tractor and takes it round the paddocks.
“I rate the Kioti’s performance as high as can be,” she said. “I love it. I can go without other things but don’t ask me to give up my Kioti.”
