I am considering a Kioti LK3054 tractor loader and backhoe with 373 hours. its about 12 years old. the local dealer has all the records on this machine. were there any issues with these tractors

Mine's about that vintage with ~950-ish hours and has been trouble free. No backhoe, just tractor/loader.

Thatç—´ pretty low hours. Can you tell us more about the backhoe? Brand, dig depth, bucket size? Chassis mount vs 3 point hitch mount? Driven off the PTO or rear remotes?

I ask because the backhoe is s big value add on the tractor, but a 7.5gpm pump, youæ±*e going to have limited capability with it.

I own an '04 3054xs tlb, with a little over 600 hrs, purchased new. It has been reasonably trouble free, but is very cold blooded (read hard starting in cold weather). The only warranty work was a clutch issue, actually a pressure plate issue. The tractor is equipped with a Borg and Beck type plate utilizing a three finger design and one of the "fingers" failed rendering the clutch inoperative. It is a very basic tractor with no electronics and a manual cable fuel shutoff. Mine is equipped with the standard Kioti 7.5 ft hoe and has more than enough power; will drag the machine all over the lot if you want

That sounds like a pretty good endorsement to me.

My hoe is sub-frame mounted, quick detach (frame stays with tractor), and operated by tractor hydraulics

That PTO powered pump may actually have more flow than the onboard pump. The PTO has about 24hp and could drive a pump that has more than the 7gpm that you壇 get from rear remotes. This would actually be a more expensive configuration.

The sub-frame is attached to the differential housing with support arms (right and left side) running forward and secured to the loader frame. Very substantial mounting system and doesn't impact ground clearance
