Has anyone ever installed an intermittent wiper control on Kioti cab tractor? It is my biggest complaint on this tractor. I hardly ever need the wipers on full go. It is usually misting out or snowing out and all I need is a wipe every few seconds or so.

Just wanted to revisit this post to say I love this tractor!! So nice and smooth. Only a couple small complaints. One being that I wish it had intermittent wipers.

Ended up having a block heater installed.

Thanks for all of the advice guys. My tractor got delivered Thursday. So far I love it and the snowblower is awesome.

Yes I bought a new 40 HP Kioti cab model

Thats pretty cool. Like I said I was pretty much ready to go this route but after doing some research and talking to owners of older retired model unimogs I decided against it for the following reasons- 1. Unimogs are like an SUV or a Swiss Army knife of equipment. They can do all kinds of...

I've wanted a unimog for many years. I almost went this route but talked myself out of it. Very nice set up

This discussion made me think of this video. Some things are messed up in the translation to English but it is still a really cool video of life in Siberia in the winter.

Where does one buy one of these? How does it plumb in? To the cab hester piping? Only gets down to -20 here. -40 (not counting wind chill) is pretty rare.

Yeah its "By any means nessassry when it is really cold out and you need it running. My go to is the charger on the battery and a propane portable blast heater running under the tractor pointed at the engine block. Pain in the butt to set up but works within half an hour.

My tractor hasn't been delivered yet, but I have been thinking about block heaters. What are most people using to heat their engine in the winter in northern climates?

That's interesting. I got turned off from LS for the same reason. The local salesman has no integrity. At least as far as my personal experience anyways. Years ago (before LS tractors were even being sold in my area) he had a camper for sale and I was looking for a camper at a reasonable price...

Why? Because I live in Maine and I don't have a garage it will fit in unfortunately [emoji53]

Oh really? I always figured it used quite a bit of electricity to heat the engine when it was below zero out.
