Decoding a Kioti Serial Number

[Stan B]

I see that, but going off this chart referenced in the other thread my "V" would be a 2020.

Pretty sure that is not the case, I bought it on 12/30/19, dealer said they already had it on hand in the box just had to put it together and wait for a few add-ons, it was delivered 1/18/20.

Indeed. Mine starts with a "V" and I bought it in September 2019, delivered to dealer in July 2019.

My 5510 delivered last month is VX1600023 fresh off the Container was not expecting it till Late this month so the V would make sense to be a 2020 and the 23rd one???

My NX6010 ordered in May and got to my dealer in late June is WL6000040. So W is 2020?

Just bought mine and it starts with X so should be a 2021? Looking this up because it wasn't on the invoice

I asked Grok and this is a snippet of what the response was.
**************************************************
For Older Kioti Tractors (Pre-2004):

• Format: Serial numbers often consist of numerical digits without a leading letter.
• Structure:
  • The first digit typically indicates the year of manufacture. For example, a serial number starting with "4" (e.g., 426500778) suggests the tractor was built in 1994.
    
    
  • The next few digits (often the second to fourth) represent the model code (e.g., "265" for an LK3054 or "614" for a DK35).
    
    
    
  • The remaining digits are the individual tractor's production sequence number, indicating its place in the production run (e.g., the 778th or 451st unit of that model).
    
    
• Example: Serial number 361400451 for a DK35 means it’s a 2003 model (first digit "3"), model code "614" for DK35, and the 451st unit produced.
  

For Newer Kioti Tractors (2004 and Later):

• Format: Serial numbers typically start with a letter followed by numbers.
• Structure:
  • The first character (a letter) denotes the model year. Kioti uses an alphabetical sequence starting with "D" for 2004, skipping letters "I" and "O" to avoid confusion with numbers. For example:
    • D = 2004
    • E = 2005
    • F = 2006
    • ...
    • J = 2009
    • P = 2014
    • S = 2017
    • U = 2019
    • V = 2020
      
      
      
  • The second to fourth characters indicate the model designation (e.g., specific model like CK3510 or DK45).
  • The remaining digits are the production sequence number for that specific tractor.
• Example: A serial number starting with "UU" (e.g., UUxxx) indicates a 2018 model year, as confirmed for a CK3510SE issued to the frame in 2018.

I just put a deposit down on a new CX2510HCB. Dealer says it is a 2024 model and he received it about a month ago. Serial number is SX3DAnnnn. According to the previous chart, that would mean it's a 2017 model (pretty sure that's not the case), but tractordata.com says the CX2510 was introduced in 2021.
