Kioti Broken in Half

Working well within the specs and limits of course.....

Maybe a few tweaks here and there to "boost performance"...

That's not very informed...Tractors ARE made to have loaders...They have been on them from day 1. One of the most popular attachments ever used on a farm or CUT. Maybe you better research the use of loaders on tractors. Of course any tractor can and will break in half if abused. I have seen at least six tractors that have either broken at the bell housing or the front axle mounting area...Bell housing being the more common among certain brands....in fact many tractors NEVER had a frame at all. NONE.

Well, the current design of tractors don't really reflect that it's made for heavy lifting at the front.

Then all tractors would have been articulated as it should have been for front loader work.

Valtra has some really cool engineering. That articulating tractor looks almost identical to a typical straight tractor. The few that have them here in the states really like them. Now that they are an AGCO brand, it has helped sales here

which literally means nothing, vehicles didn't have air conditioning when they first came out, then they were DESIGNED to have it.

If it comes from the dealer with a loader with the name of the tractor on it, its designed for it. do they bolt in? or have to be welded/ drilled in? they bolt in, thus designed for it. no different then installing a hitch on a vehicle that gets bolted in, why do you think the holes are there? because they are designed to be for a hitch.

I can't remotely believe this is even a question. If a dealer sells an attachment straight out of their factory book, then its obviously designed for it, how is this any different, then a radio made by DENSO in a car? because its not made directly by chevy/gm etc, then its not designed for it? this thought process is ridiculous.

How many FEL tractors have you owned? What were the make/models?

For their specific needs Europeans are miles ahead of us in their design.

Here's not something you see every day. Browsing facebook and saw this.

Not sure what the backstory is.

It is not uncommon these days. My neighbor cracked a new 75HP New Holland in half while mowing. He hit a ditch at a nice clip and cracked it just like the picture here. he is very hard on equipment. Smaller tractors have become less structurally sound due to price competitiveness. New Holland, Deere, Kubota etc. have had to cheapen their products over the past twenty years to compete with cheap brands.

Well, to be honest is sold in modest number, today Valtra has this strange construction.

In 1985 I helped a large farmer with his Fall harvest. My job was to do Fall tillage. I ran one of these Case tractors. The tractor had three steering options. It was a rigid frame and got it's turning abilities by independent control of both axles and they both had equal turning capabilities. It was a treat to run.

Here's a video if you've never saw one.
