Cabs are also crated (taller crates) when the come from overseas. They can get more in container that way. Again, they (often) sit outside before being crated, they get unloaded where ever they get assembled/tires and probably sit outside there, then the sit outside waiting on a truck. I am...

This is pretty normal. Even brands that come "assembled" (like the Kioti you are talking about) might have sat around a long time outside. Many of the assembly plants do not practice "first-in, first-out" in their assemble plants. No telling where any tractor sat before it was shipped from...

Glad to hear it!

When running, if you get out of the seat and the unit shuts off, it is most likely either the PTO switch (PTO "on" will prevent starting and will kill unit when the seat switch is not activated) or the pedal (HST neutral) switch (if not in neutral, the unit will not start and the unit will shut...

Open the air bleed (like you have done) and crank the unit for 30 seconds. If it does not start, let the starter cool for 60 seconds and try again. If this does not work after a couple of tries, take it to the dealer. If you try (or have tried) to loosen the the injector lines at the...

He probably does not. He just joined 13 years ago so that he could wait a decade plus for the right post, then he could post a negative review for no reason other than to mess with people. I know because I do the same thing with my free time. To really screw with people, you have to plan...

Correct.

Seat switch (and it's circuit) is the only one that will kill the tractor when the pedal is pressed or the pto is turned on. Try starting it, tilting the seat forward and engaging the pto (the switch is designed to allow the pto to run if the seat is tilted forward). I have never heard of an...

Several years ago, you could call a dealer and get a hold of the local Service Rep. There were issues with customers calling multiple people in Kubota, Kubota not documenting all the contacts, etc. that were creating some major "he-said-she-said" issues. Since that time, they have requested...

Ansung does not make anything "OEM" for Kubota. Kubota stuff is either made by KMA, KIE, or Great Plains/Land Pride. Just FYI.

This may or may not help. If you move the 3 point lever in the cab with the tractor off, it confuses the tractor. Example: If you lower the implement and shut the tractor off, then move the lever in the cab to the "raised" position (and leave it there), when you restart the tractor, the ECU...

Well, I mean anything can fit on anything with enough time, money, and a good welder and cutting torch. But I am assuming you mean will it fit easily and correctly. That would be no.

Nope.

His warranty is no where near running out. If he purchased the unit new (first person to own it/register it, regardless of when it was made), then his warranty started when they registered the unit (June of 2023 according to the OP).

I have a bit of experience in the tractor industry. After reading this thread, I can almost guarantee I can explain what is happening (spoiler alert: no big conspiracy or "bait and switch.") The OP is reading the engine serial number, not the tractor serial number. The engine was made in 2019...
