How Many Hours on Your Kioti?

Bought 11/11/11 900hrs...issues power steering metal line split, backhoe subframe broke, wore out and replaced hoe subframe bolts. Loader and hoe bolts loose at each 100hrs. Finally used red tread locker and that took care of loader. Welded backhoe to subframe and I believe that issue is solved. Would I buy another YOU BET! Great tractor! Kioti has been great with all warranty issues. If Kioti built a 36ish hp. cab tractor I would replace my Mahindra. Kioti hydr's are so smooth compared to my other tractors. HVAC works great. Roomy cab this dk50 is AWWWWSOME!

Mine is a 2008 CK35 HST with 900 hrs. Used for mowing 8 acre field, removing tons of rocks with woods backhoe, snow removal, lawn mowing, and lots of other stuff to do on my "gentleman's farm". The only real issue is the HST pedal, even though I lube it, it won't respond like it did when new. This has been an issue with these tractors, and there is a long thread about it on TBN. It should be re-called and fixed because it is a safety issue. That is the only thing I've had go wrong on it and to me, it's not that big of a deal. As far as I'm concerned it's a great tractor and has been good to me. I would certainly buy another.

2014 DK45SE with 24 hours

I do a little bucket work and I'm getting a box blade or land leveler today (I hope) but the bulk of the work it does is mowing my 14 acres with an 88" flail mower. The tractor does its job like it's bulletproof, the flail mower is old and seems to need something small every other mow.

Bumping this old thread. Looks like we should have some members with 2000 plus hours on their machines by now.

As for me : Only 281 hours on my 2013 DK45 SE bought new in April of 2014. No problems so far. Most hours have come from mowing.

I'm up to 350 problem free hours.

Mine is pretty close to 500 now, mostly loader work. Bucket/grapple/forks. Some road grading with a back blade. Very little mowing

I am only at 80 hours on my 2013 CK 30 HST still not broke in lol. I mainly use it for snow blowing and work around the yard with the loader. I love this little orange/black monster, very well built and powerful with no issues yet. I am retired so it will not see too much work other than snow blowing.

I clicked over 1304 hrs. this week. Engine going strong, but I have some more-or-less cosmetic issues elsewhere on the tractor.
