New Kioti Leaking Oil.

[sailorman3]

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.

I don’t think I made any complaints about the hybrid tires. I was expecting industrial which I asked for and got those. I just asked if they were the new standard. It reall made no difference anyway. I couldn’t use the tractor The way it was. Lol. I have never seen those tires before. Like I said if you have nothing good to say move on. It’s nothing for you to comment about here.

Interesting, coobie has 5.5k posts and you’ve got 45. From what I can see every one of your posts is a post asking for some sort of help. I’m just guessing when I say 80% plus of coobie’s posts are offering users some sort of help or answers.

Ironically coobie is offering some sound advice, that is, try not to let this rough start ruin your ultimate enjoyment of the tractor. We all get your justified frustration. Call the dealer and put the problem where it belongs, on their shoulders.

Bummer the crap prep work!

Good luck and hope speedy fix.

You’ll find just about everyone here, including coobie are on your side.

It happens;last week they delivered my new $8k lawn mower and it broke before the driver left!

 

[meackerman]

upsetting? sure.....surprising? no.

Call the dealer, explain what happened and if they handle it, great. If they don't then you have a reason to be really upset...a dealer not standing behind their stuff.

You will see everything will work out fine! I would be really surprised if your dealer does not get right on it!
You will be extremely happy with your purchase, I have 1100 hrs on my CK25 hst, just love that machine. I understand exactly how you feel!️
Please keep us posted!

New stuff usually needs shakedown and bug work. Very old and very new stuff is where the problems are.

Use the problems to your advantage. Make friends with the guys who try to get it "right", do not start off on the wrong foot. This usually gets you a contact number for 24hr advice, free manual downloads, and occasionally sets of filters, owner Swag' (hats T's).

Let the salesman's boss know, (salesman will be long gone by the time you make your next buy). Either go with being a loyal customer or "I need a better deal due to the past problems".

Salorman3: Your really not going to enjoy long term tractor ownership if this minor issue is creating so much frustration for you. Some dealers don't fully check their tractors after they assemble them. Remember, most tractors come from Korea in Crates, which Kioti North Carolina does initial assembly, then Dealership does final assembly and final check. Normally the Dealership works with the tractors for a couple of days, checking every bolt for torque, the hydraulic connections, the electrical connections, and insure no filter leaks, etc.

Before your dealer comes to work on this leak, do a through checkup yourself, make sure every hydraulic connection is clean and all your electronics work properly, and all fluid levels are proper. And don't forget to tighten all wheel lug nuts at 50 hours, they just seem to loosen after first use and then are good for many years.

My new unit had 2.7hrs on it when I got it. I assumed it was for this type of thing

Don't get upset it will be OK..

Yes it was Indeed. It's those tractors that come delivered with less than 1.5 hrs on them, you need to be suspicious the dealer maybe was not doing all his hydraulic, electrical and fluid checks. Mine was delivered with 3.2 hours and i commented on this to the dealer as a joke, and he responded ".... you asked for a backhoe installed, and it takes at least an hour to check its working properly" Well I was definitely a newbie.

I guess the OP said his tractor delivered with 0.7 hrs, with a backhoe, so surely appears like a rushed dealer preparation.

And sometimes the new tractor owners make demands and force the dealer to do a rushed delivery, not letting the normal process occur. Not saying that was the case here.

So, what was the problem?

 

[iptman]

This is probably why Bobcat decided to centrally assemble all their white Kiotis and ship them whole to their dealers. If Bobcat had a white CX2510 I would have bought it. They don't so I have an orange Kioti that was assembled by the dealer I bought it from.

Sailorman3, Hailing from a PAB family, I get it. You spent the cash or signed the note and received a series of headaches....new Kioti CK3510 that leaks, garage floor full of UDT, no extra, expensive UDT stored in the garage to fill it back up, and you probably have a list of projects & task that you want to use it for. I get it...you wanted a new tractor and got multiple headaches....hassles before the first payment.

I don't know if this is a Dealer, Transportation or Factory OEM problem, but please coordinate with your Dealer for the fix. I would NOT put a wrench to it. It may be a fitting or seal a Kioti tech could fix in minutes. Absolutely do not put a wrench too it while under pressure.

Be happy it's ONLY an external line, probably a remote as you mentioned, maybe a bad hose. You could get out the baby powder and try to find the exact location. This is probably a ticky-tack leak problem....may have happened during transport of the tractor? Yes, this could be a "lack of attention to detail" or "testing" problem, but it's still small. Nobody's asking to split the tractor and replace a hydraulic pump.

Rest assured your Kioti CK3510 is a fine choice and will serve you long & well. I've used a Kioti 45HP at a neighbor for a 3 day drainage project. It was a good tractor....for a Korean, reverse-engineered Kubota. The neighbor paid 20% less and had more HP and a cab. I had to adjust to the loader operation, but it was way smoother than one of those JD loaders that feels like some other company designed & built the loader as an oops, we forgot something, attachment.

You bought a good tractor....but we still may make fun of you! I forgot to mention you probably waited for this too, not to mention any comments your wife may be making about your purchase.

I am sorry you're getting to know your Dealer's service dept sooner rather than later.

Maybe leverage this for the rest of the 2.5 gal container of UDT?

Hoping it's fixed soon......very near future "Tractor Time" will chill you out. After updating us about how your Dealer fixed this with lightning speed, You should post next time about your personal tractor skill limitations with how much you keep getting off the tractor to do things.

Sailorman3,

Apologies for the additional post but it just dawned on me ........ Could you use the "wait time" for repair to get going on your Simonizing time? You're probably hours away with paste waxing before your first project???

The wheels really need 2 coats back & front.

Pretty sure the OP is PIZZED off with his situation and Will not wax his tractor at this point..

So what's the latest bro?️

 

[coobie]

Funny how quickly folks are to respond that this tractor is a joke but slow to respond if they have it fixed.Just my observation..

 

[Clintock]

I’d like to know what the problem was. I got a dk4510 that leaks a little hydro from top of the transmission. Been doing it since it was new. Tractor is 2 years old now. Problem? Naw. Don’t leak nuff to worry bout. Plus I’m used to running ragged out stuff. You mentioned something bout cat and quality control. Have you ever bought brand new cat equipment? 2020 12m3 motor grader. Quarter million dollars. Steps were bent. Beacon light had no switch. Low fluid all the the way round. Short in a ground. And no inner air filter. Cat is great but qc is the same with any brand on any equipment. You always got a few guys in whatever line of work that just wants the job done regardless if it’s right or not. I’ve seen it in the electrical field too. Hope you got it fixed. But please do tell what the culprit was.

 

[coobie]

I guess the Joke tractor MUST be fixed.

 

[Alan46]

Hey coobie, I think it's rude not to reply don't you?️
