LK2554 Reliable
Model Year: 2000
I bought this tractor about 2000, soon after we moved to Colorado. It's been trouble free ever since, even has the original battery, which is now in need of replacement, although it started it yesterday. The bad side seems to be Kioti's U.S. distributor. My dealer, the one he sold to, the one that one sold to and three others in the state I recently called have all quit carrying them, although Kioti's web site still shows some of them as dealers. That same web site has a drop down list of models. The LK2554 isn't even listed. While my tractor and its parts are solid, I've read of problems with newer models.
Pros: Solid, reliable.
Cons: Kioti drives its dealers away.
