Cracked KB2485 Sub-frame AGAIN!

There is one on the youtube, ck30 under barretts equipment. Its a old video, but it has the correct backhoe on. an i think the sub frame was crack in four places.

It is still there:

I posted a link to it when it came out....I called it "how to ruin your
Kioti", or something like that. It is an excellent illustration of the
flex you get, and the resulting damage when you mount the Kioti
hoe on the Kioti subframe, but don't use the toplink brace.

KIOTIKEN: The factory Kioti subframe is not too different from the
early Woods subframes, with the major difference that Woods REQUIRES
the user to install the toplink brace.

Hmm... I bought a rhino brand hoe because I was afraid of the kioti hoe when I saw some with lower pivot points broken. The rhino is frame mounted with no use for top link. I've put a couple hundred hours on it, working it hard. Haven't noticed any issues yet. Wondering if I might at some point. Anyone else have a rhino?

When I took a look at your photos it appears the top left corner of the weld has been broken for some time.
