I just wanted to show everyone on the kioti part of this site that i was joining their group.thanks to all who responded,and also to my canadian friends,and to my dealer who has taken unecessary heat.Some people just dont see what its really about ,and we can only feel sorry for them.If anyone can shut this thread down i would appreciate it.

I am simply making a few observations and recommendations. That is "what its really about" and the reason we join forums, for comments, answers, personal experience, and recommendations. If you can't handle a little constructive criticism then don't ask for it. Don't feel sorry for me, feel sorry for those who can't take "unecessary heat"...

Kodiak88,
Welcome to the world of the other orange.

I know I shouldn't do this, but...

Derek,
Looking at your picture gallery, it appears that whom-so-ever delivered your tractor didn't get your memo about securing a load.
It APPEARS that the chain securing the rear of the tractor was run across the BH subframe and secured on each side of the trailer to the support rails.
As I stated, it APPEARS that is what happened. I'm only going by a 2-d picture, so I could be mistaken.

Your right, that is how they did it but at least the front chain was wrapped around the tractor frame and not the front end loader. Do I think that is the right way? No! Would I haul my $20k+ investment like that? No!

Someone jumped off the Golden Gate bridge too but just because someone did it does not make it right.

Some "constructive criticism" is actually constructive and the rest is just......
