Understandable that something may be left loose, but quality control is something to be desired when a tractor that only has .7 of a hour on it is leaking oil. It looks like its hydraulic oil leaking from the smaller line on the pump. It has a slight red colour to it as it drips off the line. It may be coming from back the line further. It does have a backhoe so maybe that connects in there somewhere and is running up the line. Everything is tight around the pump. The spray on all the engine looks to be preservative oil because it is all over the tractor. I’ve cleaned the floor up and now have a clean pan under it. I ran the tractor for a few minutes and then shut it down. I’ll see if I can track it better now that it’s cleaned up. I hope maybe they just overfilled it when they installed the valves for the backhoe.
Exactly. I understand it can be frustrating but these things happen. And if the OP searches a little bit on TBN, he will find loads of threads about issues like this on pretty much any brand.
Yes maybe I’ll just get rid of it. Lol! If I pay $40,000 for something new, I expect it to be in pristine condition when it’s delivered, weather the dealer put the loader and backhoe on or not. I’m a electrician by trade. If I installed equipment and someone got a shock off that equipment, it’s not a hiccup. It’s someone not doing their job.
Not saying I don't agree, but go buy an RV and let me know how you make out, we bought our rv new in 2000, it was 45k, then. it was at the dealer 9 times in under 600 miles...
I know all about RV’s. Lol. I had a couple. The quality control that goes into them is nonexistent. I drove a brand new Cat 950H this winter clearing city snow. 245 hours and not as much as a drip and the blade and wing was removed many times to install a blower. That’s what quality control is all about.
I’ve narrowed it down to the hoses that come back from the loader to the rear of the machine. Its after the quick disconnects but before they go into the hydraulic unit. The fluid is coming out through protective sleeve so it must be a bad hose. There isn’t anything else that it can be coming from.
Really this tractor is a Joke? I would not be happy also but give me a break things happen now you want to blame this on kioti>You must have BIGGER issues.RELAX and call your dealer Monday ..
Corner Brook or St. Johns?
St. John’s. I don’t think they sell Kioti anywhere else on the island.
I think you know the answer who is responsibly THE DEALER.Take a chill pill & call your dealer tomorrow.Life is to short to worry about a quart of hydro fluid.Throw down some oil dry and sweep away your troubles.
Still analyzing me are you. No problem. If you haven’t anything good to say, I really don’t need to hear it.
Not really could careless on analyzing you no skin in this game for me.I see in another thread you complain about hybrid tires on this tractor. Would you bitc- the same if this was a John Deere or Kubota product? You had a very minor bad experience get over it and enjoy your new tractor.
Funny. A friend of mine has a "Tiffen" I think it is called. When he first got it, the hydraulic jacks would leak down and out on the ground. Hose cut by the frame. 15,000 miles later, pop outs would not pop in, then the u joints went out, then, then , then... Another buddy is dealing with a wiring harness replacement after the exhaust melted the wire harness. It might be a total!
