Brand new Kioti rx7320 Dead in the water

[BleedingOrange]

Now that you have figured out what killed your battery, make sure you properly charge up the battery to full charge with the proper charger. I added a 2 pin flat plug from the battery and extended it out to the front of the footboard where it meets the cab, and that gives me a quik and easy way to connect my battery tender to it to keep it fully charged while it sits in the garage.

OP gets credit for coming back and admitting a mistake.

I Hope that new Kioti makes him smile every time he gets to use it.

Congrats on the New Kioti,

Now, if we could just get some closure with a Fully functioning CUT for Flyinghigh's Dad.

I think I left my interior light on and I know I left my camera monitor on. That's all it takes. Sorry if you took me as being rude but after your reply, I rest my case. I would have told you the same thing to your face given the opportunity.

I admit i went off the deep end here

Well the OP did go over-the-top right from the beginning…
Just understand that a completely drained battery will have a compromised life span. It would be a good idea to hook up a 2 or 3 amp battery maintainer 24/7. My OEM battery is still going after 10 years, likely due to doing this.
Thanks to the OP for letting us know what the issue was!!

Yes, you NEED to place that battery on a real battery charger to top it off. Dont rely on alternator to top off a truly dead battery.

glad you got it sorted out. I left the cab light on my dodge work truck once….dead twin batteries the next day. Pissed me off to no end. At least my ford truck has a timer that shuts off all lights after 30 minutes of truck not running. Not the dodge.

Does that actually do anything? I've sometimes felt that the relay drew at least as much as the light. Maybe things have changed but I had one truck that the relay would shut the light off, then it would come back on x number of minutes later. Then it would shut off, turn back on, shut back off... all night long.

Well you will all laugh at this (Maybe )
I cant remember who posted about an interior Cab light left on. Well I decided to try and jump with my truck. After I connected the cables and got inside the tractor i noticed the overhead light on. I dont remember turning it on but I am sure I did. And since I only run it during daylight i never noticed it as it is not a very bright light.
Well long story short i left the truck run for about 1minute and the tractor fired right up.
I guess I have been shafted so many times in life i am skidish. I admit i went off the deep end here

On a separate note It interesting how ever since the internet has been around it has turned ordinarliy polite people into rude ones. I am older and have worked on all kinds of machinery over the years not always been a fun experience. Working on equipment in sub freezing temps while it is snowing is not my cup of tea.

Anyway thanks to all for the replies even the not so kind ones
I hope to have the same long term experience of all those that have had great luck with their Kioti tractor and their dealer.

Take care and be safe

You’re welcome.

well, i left a door open on the truck once overnight when i was working on a fuel filter issue. i did not know i left it open. next morning i saw it and was pissed at myself. figured id have dead batteries. nope, cranked up full power.

Something stupid was done so I threw in the coffee & donuts
was suppose to be funny
We all make mistakes but it sure is nice when you correct them
without an added expense

Does anyone know about applying for the lemon law? Does it apply to tractor purchases?
I am miffed about spending this much and having to deal with this so soon?

Does not apply to tractors

My first thought looking at the thread title was...don't drive it in the water. Depending on water depth, any tractor would die.

I'm going to have to report you for grossly misleading title.

Ban him!

See how I did that I drifted threads. Bam!

 

[lilranch2001]

As did I

 

[Williy]

This for Alabama:

The statute covers new motor vehicles used for household, personal, family, or personal business use. The law excludes trailers, farm tractors, motor vehicles with a gross weight over 12,000 pounds, and motorcycles. The manufacturer gets four repair attempts.

Such high hopes for one thread not drifting, maybe next year.

 

[ironman1952]

Willie is correct, non commercial vehicles, my tractor weighs quite a bit less than 12000 lbs.
Also it was mentioned many times in this thread that the Lemon law is a process. I know what the process is as I went through it once with a Ford Expedition.
My mentioning it was only that I would begin to track the repairs etc…

However since I posted that it was me being in self defense mode Fearing a years long fight to get the dealer/manufacturer to do the right thing and that I had jumped the gun so to speak, Why are people still posting about it.

I believe it is a dead issue Yes ???

PS there is a video of someone who, obviously in a 3rd world country driving his tractor in what appears to be an already harvested crop. It appears that he has a tiller on the back however the field he is in is half water almost like a half flooded rice field.
In fact his rear tires has some sort of paddle assembly to help get through the water.
Some of the weirdest equipment videos come from other countries as they drive all kinds of machinery through raging rivers I guess due to no bridges.

Anyway have a great day, try to stay positive in a world unhinged
